Senate Democrats unveil new voting rights bill

[Thunderbeast]

11. Rather than the national holiday...

I would much rather see universal vote by mail. States that have implemented VBM have higher election participation and fewer opportunities for mischief in allocation of polling resources. There is NO EXCUSE for long lines at the polls (usually in minority precincts).

This bill also leaves out re-districting reform.

State legislatures can no longer be trusted to manage elections without Federal guidelines. Fair elections require that the process be taken out of the partisan food fight.
