State’s rights v. federal rights is a contest that underlies a lot of our history. It’s fascinating to see how they each play out for either the left or the right. This is an example of a state’s right expressing itself in a more progressive direction than the feds are moving in.
Nevada lawmakers have passed a bill that would add the state to a growing list that will mail all active voters ballots ahead of the November election. The bill now heads to Gov. Steve Sisolak, who's expected to sign it. usnews.com/news/best-states/…

Alexander Hamilton said the states are “laboratories of reform.” Sometimes they’re very much not that but it’s interesting to see how they were originally envisioned.

The most dramatic example of course was the issue of slavery. I’m reading “Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Southern states claimed a state’s right to be a slave state, for years they compromised, until finally a federal mandate against it was enforced through Civil War.

We also need rank choice voting so we aren’t so limited.

Is this ultimately Yin opposing Yang? Swaying between collective concerns and individualistic concerns?

Nevada just gave the green light for voter fraud, how many ballots can one Democrat fill out?...10, 50, 100? Hell one senior center could rig an election! Dirty Democrats!
