    Default Democrats make federal election standards a top priority

    Democrats, asserting constitutional authority to set the time, place and manner of federal elections, want national rules they say would make voting more uniform, accessible and fair across the nation. The bill would mandate early voting, same-day registration and other long-sought reforms that Republicans reject as federal overreach.

    “We have just literally seen an attack on our own democracy,” said U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, referring to the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol. “I cannot think of a more timely moment to start moving on democracy reform.”

    Yes, I believe that is one proposal. Also, the physical location should be near public transportation and easily accessible.

    Yes. Mail in ballots should be universally available.

    Republicans refuse to work on election integrity. Instead, they prefer to judge an election by its results.
