That means conducting a nationwide review of voting barriers in all 50 states. It means dedicating resources to challenge laws that disenfranchise voters. And it means having the political will to fight for the right to vote everywhere, regardless of how competitive a state appears today.

It is darkly hilarious that the US lacks a compulsory national identification card (closest we have is SSN, which is not supposed to be used for ID - says so right on the card) because people go bonkers over privacy and other items, yet this is going on behind the scenes right now:

What Booker's doing right now is useful, but only if you use it. Every call, office visit, demonstration, every voice raised right now carries added weight. You have criticisms of him? Join the club. But if that's what you're using this moment to voice, you're the one who's failing the moment.
