Elizabeth Warren unveiled a sweeping plan to give the federal government a far bigger role in setting the rules for elections, rather than deferring to states and localities
Democrat Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday unveiled a sweeping plan to give the federal government a far bigger role in setting the rules for elections, rather than deferring to states and localities.
"[T]he Constitution gives Congress the tools to regulate the administration of federal elections," Warren wrote in a Medium post. "It’s time to pick up those tools and use them.
Some conservatives will likely oppose the plan because it attempts to undo most of the voter ID laws in the states and would empower the federal government at the expense of states and localities. Other conservatives will almost certainly raise objections because of the plan's cost and the new taxes it would require.
