I have posted two articles in the past five days describing Pete Sessions’ Make Elections Secure Again (MESA) legislation, with the first regarding the five key pillars of the proposal, and the second taking a fine-tooth comb to the inner workings of MESA and relating them to what I call the Eight Cardinal Sins of election maladministration. I am told my outlines of the MESA bill have been forwarded to the top of the chain of command, so naturally, I am hopeful this bill doesn’t sputter out and flop dead amongst all the chaos present in the world today, especially tied to foreign relations.
The bill isn’t perfect, but it nearly is. The only real debate to be had is the one surrounding who should be in charge of reforming elections – the states or the federal government? In a textbook, I would say the states, under their freedoms established in the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; unfortunately, those freedoms have been abused, and blue states have constructed a system of elections that is easily identifiable as the main reason those states vote as one unanimously blue bloc over and over again. That system, once fully malignant, thrives on Automatic Voter Registration, Universal (or expanded) Mail-In Voting, Ballot Harvesting, and iron-fisted control over how much time there is for early voting and late counting. Remember what it is that makes states permanently blue: https://www.captaink.us/p/the-clock-is-winding-down-on-nation
