I think they are overestimating their Hispanic support here and the fact that Democrats really are fired up this year.

Also, many voters are NPA (no party affiliation) and I think they overestimate their support.

My district was specifically drawn for the useless nepo baby garden gnome Gus Bilirikas. He will be losing his very safe district if this plan goes through.
