The sanctity of the ballot box is under a full-fledged assault by an entrenched political class in Washington hellbent on undermining the agency of its own citizens in service of perpetual power.
Explosions of vote-by-mail efforts and congressional attempts to permanently strip states of their sovereign responsibility to regulate elections make voter fraud a permanent feature of our electoral process and provide the perfect opportunity for corrupt political elites. Voters must have the faith that their vote is capable of effecting change lest the republic and our federalist system enter a freefall of no-confidence from which it may never return.
Executive Summary: Ending the Past Partisan Weaponization of the Census and Ensuring a Nonpartisan, Fair, and Transparent Process
The census has become a tool for shifting political power away from citizens. That trend can be reversed. If the reforms outlined below are adopted and every state draws its congressional maps to the full extent the law allows, the House of Representatives after the 2031 redistricting would sit at a ceiling of 261 Republicans to 174 Democrats, compared with 220 Republicans and 215 Democrats under the 2020 Census.
Primer: Ending the Past Partisan Weaponization of the Census and Ensuring a Nonpartisan, Fair, and Transparent Process

Census. For too long, the Census has been treated as an all-purpose statistical
product rather than as a distinct constitutional function that determines the
allocation of political representation in the United States.
