If we win back the executive and legislative branches, we MUST demand a MEANINFUL 21st century federal voting rights act with teeth that ensures EVERY voter can cast their vote EASILY and can be sure their vote is accurately COUNTED (with paper trail for auditing).

Step 1 -- any state that chooses not to implement 100% vote by mail must ensure there are enough voting places to keep all lines under 30 minutes. To fail to do so would incur an enormous fine payable to a national voting rights protection fund. It must be more expensive to suppress votes in Democratic strongholds than to hold TRULY free and fair elections. And that notion is just a start. . .

This must come down from Feds. The states CANNOT be trusted.
