Solid start though. Even if the redistricting measure was dropped, a federal holiday for election day and top-two primaries would clear out a lot of the clogs in our election systems. I'm not sure the top-two measure is constitutional though.
- notadoc 9y agoOh I agree that it's a good start and gerrymandering is bad, but can you honestly imagine this type of bill passing in this political environment? Congress has a, what, 12% approval rating?
- heurist 9y agoI think it's being presented in the hope that a future Congress will run with it. Or that his constituents will appreciate his ideas. It is beyond this Congress to fix the system they've brazenly manipulated for their own benefit.
