NYT editorial board reaching the more or less inescapable conclusion about HR1: "poorly matched to the moment," as it at once fails to address the clearest threats to democracy and attempts to do far more than what's feasible and necessaryhttps://t.co/A0hnT3CC2E

HR1 doesn’t address vote counting but I don’t think we realized Republicans would be this aggressive in their efforts to prevent election results from standing if they lost.
Opinion: Republicans aren’t just making it harder to vote. They’re going after election officials, too. https://t.co/YVpI04QZ6J

Wow. New Hampshire Republicans are considering passing an amendment that would create separate federal & state election administration systems so the GOP could try to maintain voting restrictions in the latter if Dems in Congress pass voting reforms https://t.co/IFo5leKmtH

This is true if the election were tomorrow, but all of the trends in the GOP have been moving in one direction for a decade or more. Imagine where we will be with another 3.5 years of radicalization and conspiracy-mongering. We ignore this at our peril https://t.co/10YXSYvUCM
