AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

I don't know what Congress can do about gerrymandering since the Constitution grants that function to the states. The current presidential financing of elections did not (and cannot) eliminate corporate money---I don't know how a different version would do so.
Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare many times knowing it would not pass the Senate or president. Do you think that served a useful function for them?

I, for one, consider the automatic voter registration issue to be a slam dunk because who wouldn't want that and why wouldn't they?
We should make voting as easy a process as possible...not harder.

I believe that at least 1 of the things the OP suggested would be found unconstitutional on its face.
if i were the republicans i would actually take finance reform. In the last 2 elections democrats outraised republicans massively.
