Comments on: Blueprint for a federal takeover of national elections https://occasionalplanet.org/2012/12/03/blueprint-for-a-federal-takeover-of-national-elections/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:29:47 +0000 hourly 1 By: MG1 https://occasionalplanet.org/2012/12/03/blueprint-for-a-federal-takeover-of-national-elections/#comment-2613 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:16:00 +0000 http://www.occasionalplanet.org/?p=20545#comment-2613 In reply to David Lewis.

Hi David! Most Western democracies have national elections managed by their governments. They have very little of the voter suppression activities we endure at the state level. This guy is suggesting a non-partisan federal agency or board that would manage national elections. Federalizing the voting process, making it more consistent and easier for people to vote, would increase voter participation. Right now, only half of eligible voters vote and for good reason. It’s difficult and confusing. If more people voted, the chances of Republicans controlling all three branches of government would diminish.

Then what happens when the Repubs control all three branches and they rejigger the election process nationwide to have the opposite effect?
