Republican AGs across the nation are salivating.

Yep, they'd try and use this to disenfranchise as many people as possible to make it easier for their party to win, no shock there.

How would that work?


No, I mean the prospect of a career boost from bringing & winning a case before the Supreme Court.  And this bill will give them a lot to opportunity to do so.

Yes, Republicans generally loathe democracy and most of them would be thrilled to be the people who kill it off for good. What else is new?

Even though all the election process stuff (2, 3, 4, 8, 14, etc.) would be covered Article I, Section 4, Clause 1.

This is all for show, and it wouldn't actually pass if Dems had a trifecta in 2021. 

I have a particular issue with #5 and #6 because they disproportionately overweight the influence of small donors in our electoral system.

Would this law apply only to Congressional elections?

I think there was a time in the not so distant past where Democrats could welch on this if they got a trifecta, but I don't think they can now.

Next time Dems have the trifecta, they'd better ram this through.

Highly unlikely. Look at how the Democrats caved in New Jersey when they were eager to pass progressive legislation under Christie, but began to change their tune when a Democrat became Governor.

It's like how California Democrats had the legislature pass single payer when Wilson and Schwarzenegger were governor, but not Davis or Brown.
