## Resource

1. A “Power-Focused” Agenda Democratic proposals are primarily about gaining and preserving political control , not policy issues like the economy, crime, or border security. Examples include: Electoral College reform Supreme Court expansion Redistricting changes Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico 2. Election System Changes Key proposals discussed: Ending or reforming the Electoral College → reducing influence of smaller states. Multi-member districts → benefiting dense urban (Democratic) areas. Expanding Supreme Court (court-packing) → a way to influence rulings. 3. Judiciary and Legal System Concerns Efforts to impose ethics rules or penalties on judicial nominees are politically motivated. These could be used to pressure or intimidate judges , especially conservatives. 4. Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico Add additional Democratic-leaning Senate seats Shift the balance of power in Congress 5. Redistricting (Gerrymandering) Debate Historically using gerrymandering to control representation in certain states. Attempting further changes (e.g., Virginia case) to increase their advantage 6. California Political Scenario There are concerns about: A potential situation where two Republicans advance in a statewide race They are willing to intervene if the outcome is unfavorable .
