    Yascha Mounk Retweeted New York Times Opinion

    In nearly every country, authoritarian populists managed to subvert electoral systems by stacking the electoral commission with loyalists—except here. America's diversity of electoral rules breeds chaos and complexity. It is also the best defense against authoritarian takeover.https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1324336187671220224 …

    “No matter who ends up prevailing, it is clear that Congress needs to establish a federal elections agency to ensure that the voting process is fair, consistent, secure and legitimate,” write @hill_charlotte and @leedrutman https://nyti.ms/32bkVXO

        This article is a great example of a progressive pundit fantasy which is also a constant feature of debates about free speech: Describe systemic evils that supposedly define America. Then design rules to combat them under the assumption that The Good will always be in charge.

        Ehhh it’s the best defense against any kind of rapid change. Tyrants being only one of those rapid changes. It also fails to respond to changes in political will. Or modernity. Neither of those are great

        Should FedGiv and others feel the need to get involved in how the states manage their elections, it should be no more than an advisory role, not a regulatory one. Establish best practices and encourage the states to adopt them.

        Yes, but we should also look at liberal countries who have national voter controls, like Canada. The decentralized model has been a disaster in the US.

        I doubt Mitch McConnell will be signing off on that... Though i suspect many states will be revising their election laws after this insanity.
