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
Referendums for statehood in both. I firmly believe DC would pass handily, PR is a more open question, but BINDING referendums would settle the issue.
I don't have a say because I don't live in DC, but living *next* to DC I would be like "GUYS PLEASE BE A STATE" ;)
