What's in the House planned voting reform law

Public Citizen = The bill will:
  • Replace the current, corrupt campaign finance system with one that relies on small donors and public matching funds.
  • End dark money by forcing disclosure of all election-related spending.
  • Call for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

  • Enact Automatic Voter Registration and call for restoration of the Voting Rights Act.
  • Counteract gerrymandering so political parties can’t rig congressional districts to favor themselves.
  • Slam shut the revolving door by which lobbyists and corporate lawyers go into government to oversee their old industries, and public officials leave government for high-paying jobs in the sectors they previously regulated.

Wow.

Real reform.

I doubt it would pass but it is a start towards what the country needs.
