HappyWarrior, here’s something for you (though I’m not sure what you, personally, can do about it…I guess it depends on what kind of GOTV/volunteering you’re involved with and what contacts you have…?)

The Obsession With White Voters Could Cost Democrats the Virginia Governor’s Race

One simple statistic highlights the folly of much of the Democratic Party’s strategy and spending. If every person of color who voted for Hillary Clinton in Virginia last year turns out to vote in Virginia’s gubernatorial contest on November 7, Democrat Ralph Northam could win without getting a single vote from a white person. Not one. And yet most Democratic strategists and donors overlook and undervalue voters of color in general and African-American voters in particular. As a result, Democrats are at real risk of losing eminently winnable contests in Virginia this year, as well as in myriad races in 2018.
