Secure, efficient, accessible elections require resources. Election officials need Congress to appropriate $400 million in election security grants ASAP.
@_Kevin_Kempton_ Glad to find the Reed appreciation society! I went through his papers at Bowdoin, sadly someone had removed pages from his diary that promised to be salacious. Plus he wrote it in french just for practice!
Incredibly sad to report that ABC News is indeed eliminating 538.
