The fight for democracy is at the center of American politics, where it belongs. In 2023 let's keep it there.
Congress failed to act. Voting rights legislation passed the House and was supported by a majority in the Senate. It would have been the most important civil rights bill in years. But two senators refused to change the filibuster, and the bill failed.But that was not the end of the story. In 2022, the forces of American democracy rallied.
In some states, voters backed innovative ballot measures. Connecticut adopted early voting. Michigan expanded early and absentee voting while improving identification requirements. Voters in Arizona by more than 70% backed curbs on dark money while rejecting a measure to impose harsher voter ID rules.
And throughout the year the January 6 committee showed that Donald Trump's Big Lie was a knowing lie.
