I firmly believe the first thing Democrats should do is add seats to the supreme court. The second thing they should do is have referendum's to make D.C. and all inhabited U.S. territories states adding seats to the senate making it very difficult for conservatives to ever get the supreme court they want back and then we can begin to implement broader election reforms.
