H.R. 1 Election Reforms Are a Necessary Start Towards Democracy

From The Washington Post:

House Democrats will release H.R. 1 on Friday, and it will be a sprawling package — addressing campaign financing, voting rights, election cybersecurity and more.

It would help states replace old election equipment, curb extreme partisan gerrymandering and encourage small-dollar campaign donations.

Meanwhile, Democrats will make changes to the House itself. New rules will bar members from serving on corporate boards, after Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) stained the House by serving on the board of a biotechnology company and drumming up business among fellow members of Congress with power over health-care policy.
