[EL] Kleinfelds’ proposal

[David Segal]

It's good that they are pushing and I think a patchwork of purple, and even
some red, states might implement procedures along these lines. (Hard to
imagine that all would, which might implicate the POTUS race and would
certainly have impacts on Congress and state and local races.)

But it's very hard for me to see a path under any circumstances through
McConnell and Trump, even if Congressional Ds prioritize this more in
negotiations.

Do other folks here think otherwise, re: the politics of the bulk of
R-controlled states and Congress, and if so would you be able to speak to
what it looks like in more detail?
