What does #MoscowMitch fear from hardening our election security?  Why is he taking the side of our adversaries?  Why since 2016 has he refused to call out Moscow’s interference in our election? All Americans ought to be concerned about his obstruction, demand answers and a vote.

And lately the courts have given encouragement to reformers by endorsing the interests of citizens exercising direct democracy against the political parties and partisan legislatures.
