Both sides seem to hate it, so it sounds like a good starting point. (www.nytimes.com)

Stacy Abrams is behind Manchin. -- (link) - spamlet Jun 17, 08:31 9
- That's a big deal. I've heard numerous interviews with her recently and how locked in she is on getting reform done -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 08:41
- As long at the alternatives are flexible enough, I think that's good. And Abrams is pragmatic on this topic I think. This is *the* shot to make - ty97 Jun 17, 08:41 1
  - I love that it includes the provision for a public holiday -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 08:42
- Thanks for that link, very interesting. "He also proposed requiring voter identification but allowing alternatives like utility bills to suffice as proof of identity." -- nm* - mara Jun 17, 08:34 5
  - The Feds need to be very clear on what the *minimum* allowances for those alternatives are and not leave it to the states - ty97 Jun 17, 08:40 1
    - we technically have voter ID requirements here but it's quite forgiving in reality - Reagen Jun 17, 08:49
  - I think the nuance of her position on ID is good and has been sorely missing from a lot of the debate. -- nm - spamlet Jun 17, 08:36 2
    - Signature matching is stupid and should be eliminated. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 08:52
    - Mostly because the right is insisting on a very restrictive list of harder to get IDs. Excluding student ID and utility bill type ID. - TWuG Jun 17, 08:51
