What's this?

It's a shame.Some of the most important legislation to pass this year would

be voting rights and election reform. A high priority should be to outlaw partisan gerrymandering in time for it to be in effect for the next redistricting.

Also things like mandating that numbers of polling places, machines, workers, etc. be apportioned equally across a state.

Mitch will filibuster any attempt at diminishing the ability of states and precincts to cheat.
