As Democrats count down the days until they take the speaker’s gavel for the first time in eight years, they are wasting no time getting down to the business of legislating. According to NPR, the House’s first vote in the 116th Congress will be on an omnibus bill that overturns Citizens United, depoliticizes the redistricting process, and closes loopholes in government ethics law—ones that happen to accrue to the untold benefit of a certain President of the United States.   Continue reading “Why Automatic Voter Registration Is Good for America, Democracy, and You”
