“By Choice and Circumstance, Democrats Put Voting Rights on the Ballot”

NYT:

[E]ven many commentators who have expressed concerns about the integrity of future elections have criticized the push for the For the People Act as fighting the last war….

“There are really two different issues going on,” said Richard L. Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Irvine, who supports parts of the For the People Act. “One is the commonly understood concern about voting suppression. The other, which is really new on the horizon since the 2020 election, is this danger of election subversion: The idea that election officials can manipulate election outcomes so that the winner of the election is not actually declared the winner.”

For Democrats, the For the People Act has the additional drawback of being virtually certain not to pass anytime soon.
