Created to help states improve voting systems after the 2000 election, the commission is now paralyzed at a critical moment before midterms. Voting rights groups see this as part of a broader push to undermine access, citing voter ID laws, gerrymandering, and weakened Voting Rights Act protections. The White House insists it’s focused on election security and infrastructure, even as it pushes for proof-of-citizenship requirements blocked by courts. Meanwhile, Congress faces a stalled bill requiring voter ID, with President Trump publicly demanding passage — and threatening vetoes if it doesn’t move. With no bipartisan leadership, the future of election integrity hangs in the balance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
