Our electoral system is still in peril. Congress should try a different approach — less ambitious, more bipartisan.
President Biden’s voting rights effort aims to heal a rift in his party. Voters’ attention is mostly elsewhere.So Congress should try a different approach — less ambitious, more bipartisan.
Trump also tried to persuade Republican state legislators in Pennsylvania, Michigan and other states Biden won to overrule their voters and appoint. Like Pence, the legislators refused. But the law needs to be clearer on that count too: State politicians can write election laws, but they can’t change the outcome after election day.
A second issue also falls under the category of election subversion — protecting state and local election officials against threats and intimidation. Congress can fix that, starting with increased criminal penalties and more funding. There’s nothing partisan about that issue.The law, which passed with bipartisan support, required jurisdictions with a history of racial or ethnic discrimination to apply to the Justice Department for approval before changing voting rules. The Supreme Court effectively gutted that part of the law in 2013, but left room for Congress to pass an updated version.
