We have always needed that.
Automatic voter registration.
End political Gerrymandering.
Election Day a national holiday.
Universal mail in voting as Oregon.
Election interference and voter suppression a class A felony.
I'd almost say mandatory voting.
Should have done all this when Obama had 60 votes in the senate.
