"Congressional Democrats are pushing a bill that would expand v****g rights, but they’ve done nothing to deal with the rising threat of state legislatures making it easier to change e******n results after v**ers have cast their b****ts."

Sixteen blue states and DC have already agreed to over rule the v**ers in their states. Nine more have partially passed the National Popular V**e Law. It is the democrats that want to cancel/ignore v**e results after v**es have been cast.

But, you already know that don't you.

I am sure you know how to Google "National Popular V**e Law".

I agree that the U.S. Congress should address this problem, as described in the article.

Upon reading such an article, we can see that not only the national e******ns matter; the state e******ns matter too; because, whoever gets elected to the state legislatures might (in the current legal configuration) even mess with the e******ns that matter to us all on the national level.

Meanwhile, some people are working on the more local level. I happen to know someone who is working in that (not right here, but in another state). A local chapter (over there) of a political advocacy group publishes a little "zine" advocating a slate of progressive candidates for a borough council. And they do other things to encourage people to r******r to v**e, and to v**e.

People have to work, explain, advocate, campaign, and v**e for what they want on all levels of the government, from the e******n of a U.S. President all the way down to the local school board e******ns. Those folks in that local chapter are working to elect candidates to the borough council.

What happens at the local levels will eventually affect what happens at the higher levels of government.

It looks like hard work to me.

I did small amounts of such work, years ago, local to another place in another state. I was one of a dozen people to help organize a local labor union. I got a few fellow workers to sign cards so we could have an e******n. (Others got more people to sign more cards.) Then later I wrote a short piece (yeah, really) explaining the confusing b****t (I think the Management had deliberately made it confusing). I think my explanation helped. The e******n was close. We won. Now that union can lobby the U.S. Congress in a way that the Management would if they could, but the Management is forbidden by law to lobby Congress in that way. The law allows the union to do it. Some of the people in the local union are very smart, energetic people who have made progress. One of them regularly goes to Washington DC and has given at least one speech to Congress. Then he comes back and tells the local bargaining unit what's going on.

I'm not, or usually not, one of those smart energetic people. I have less talent or less energy. I try to find the right idea or a basic principle to get behind. I believe the main idea (a kind of basic principle) that workers should be able to organize themselves and be represented and respected and be able to negotiate from a position of strength. I worked as a bit player and helped make it possible for those things to happen.

So, from that experience, I see that even we more ordinary people can do things that make a difference, because what we do adds up, and our groundwork or our support makes it possible for the stronger people to do the bigger things.
