Today we discuss the two bills that died in the U.S. Senate seeking to federalize the election process -- the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act & the Freedom to Vote Act. Join us as we unpack how these bills would have affected the election process if they had passed. The bills may be dead but the larger push by Democrats to federalize all elections, making the states answerable to the DOJ, is very much alive. Therefore these concepts are likely to return in future legislation in an effort to standardize election procedure. 

Should the states be in control of their own elections? Does the Federal government have the right to arbitrarily step in and override state election laws? Would federalizing voting laws require a constitutional amendment? We discuss that and more!
