More than that, all of this needs to be affirmative, not defensive. Oregon and Minnesota are around 70% turnout for presidential elections. If you don’t get to that number in every county, the county is put under pre-clearance until it maintains it for 3 POTUS cycles. Also expand the House.
really cannot emphasize enough how plainly all this proves that the first priority of the next Democratic administration needs to be democracy reform --filibuster --electoral college --court reform --dc and pr statehood --new voting rights act --gerrymandering

the lack of any of this from this admin is most of why i'm not doing electoral work this cycle played a rigged game for five years after we moved here i'm done until somebody makes them stop throwing out votes from historically redlined districts

Oregon’s turnout is that high bc of mail-in voting; it’s either that nationwide or voting day is a federal holiday

Oregon’s has been that high for at least five presidential cycles; it’s not just the mail-in balloting. And Minnesota is neck and neck with them!

What would pre-clearance mean?
