WaPo:

The LIBRE effort, which backers plan to expand into more presidential battleground states over the next several months, has alarmed many Democrats.

“They are making friends and trying to convince you that the Democratic agenda is bad,” said Matt Barreto, co-founder of the research and polling firm Latino Decisions. He said the group hands out ideological material, collects names, e-mails and phone numbers, and is “laying the foundation for Republican candidates to emphasize the same messages.”

Barreto says those behind LIBRE are “playing the long game” and don’t really have to win Republican votes, but rather raise doubts about Democrats to suppress support for them.
