This is very good, and I want this brought up to a vote as constantly as repealing Obamacare was. I don't mind this being the broken record issue Democrats run on during the presidential campaign either. This absurdity needs to end.

This is extremely cool and 100% what they should be using their time on.

However I assume this is just symbolic?

The best viable 2020 candidate. I'll work for him if he runs.

I'd really prefer if he didn't. If he becomes president, then that's another senate seat down, because Ohio sure as hell isn't going to replace him with another democrat.

Maybe if he just drags the dialogue left like Bernie did and then leaves/loses, because we really need him here.

Stop worrying about what the courts will do and just do it. Force the states to adopt standards on elections or strip them of highway funding. Also even if it's symbolic with the arithmetic today, it won't always be the same math.

it's not going to pass the Senate, but it's not symbolic because it is actually a legislative priority they would like to pass. alternatively, every single bill the House passes is going to be 'symbolic' for the next two years except budgets

although the "And we're overturning Citizen's United with this bill" part is, to be charitable, symbolic. you don't get to do that that way and everyone knows it

I did the same thing because I was reading the graph as the top as 2018, not the bottom. I switched it when i realized i was looking at it wrong, and 2018 is the bottom of the chart.

This originally said Democrats instead of Republicans and I was gonna say I know this thread has a monster hang up about them but no way does the data show that. Obviously just a mistake though.

I like the Asian column in particular because you can see where it dips ever so slightly into the R column in what I assume is 2014 before what must have been the entire Asian American voting bloc literally screaming "No turn left!" and swinging back even more into the D category than the Latino vote. Also the White vote even starting to shift left will loving end the GOP if the trend continues.

I also like how non-white support for the GOP is just so low at this point that the majority of the graph just has to be in blue to reflect the differences in the demographics. It's like Rock Solid D for black, Likely D for Asian and Latino and Lean R for White and yet the GOP still has like a 53-47 senate majority.

Seriously the more I read about it the more I love it. I'm not a Democrat by any stretch but this is extremely on-point, say what you will about the party passing it. It addresses so much with so little. Just...ensure people can vote. Ensure they're voting in their communities and not an arbitrary map drawn up by cynical racists. Hold the President accountable to bribery laws. These are loving basic to democracy and getting the GOP on the record as simply not wanting people to vote is gonna count for more than a simple "gotcha".

Well he really only needs to give up his seat if he's being sworn into the executive branch in January 2021, so it does presuppose that Trump was successfully defeated.

Reasonable people can disagree here, I suppose. I think he'd absolutely have a good chance of beating him, and there are Democrats who would do worse, but I'd say that the Ohio seat is a factor worth considering given there are other viable Dems.

their lawyer thinks that's bullshit and the recount will uncover a machine calibration error (since improper calibration apparently results in ovals filled in more faintly or not as fully not being counted).

votes counted after election night did not have the same undervote, so it'd be pretty weird if it was a ballot layout design but only people on the day-of had problems with it

That a couple of them are doing alternative white supremacist signals shows that this is not an uncommon gesture for these boys.
