Important @rickhasen piece on the growing danger of election subversion, which has been painfully overlooked in recent months https://twitter.com/rickhasen/status/1385569083920314370?s=20
He offers a few possible actions Congress might consider:
--ensure paper balloting
--fix the electoral count act
--impose basic safeguards on vote counting
--support local election administration
My sense is that this is probably only the start of the conversation on how to address these kind of issues.
Progressives have spent years thinking about expanding voter access. Few people have spent time any time thinking about election subversion
A couple of other nexus points that deserve thought:
--certification issues, potentially even including federal involvement
--preventing mediocre allegations, like lists of 'dead' people, from becoming a pretextual basis for eligibility challenges or invalidating results
