'For The People'

HR1 filed this morning by the Hon. Mr. Sarbanes of Maryland.

'In a major step toward fixing our broken system of elections, House Democratic lawmakers introduced a comprehensive democracy reform bill on the first day of the 116th Congress.
The bill, which is known as H.R. 1, or the For The People Act, and was sponsored by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.), would create a more responsive and representative government by making it easier for voters to cast a ballot and harder for lawmakers to gerrymander, by transforming how campaigns are funded to amplify the voices of ordinary Americans, and by bolstering election security and government ethics.'
Read the full text of the bill here: https://www.brennancenter.org/legisl...eople-act-2019

I expect the 'loyal opposition' will set their hair on fire in response to this simple and straightforward proposal.
