In this proposal, the threshold for overturning an electoral slate would increase to a supermajority--though one could choose 60 votes, to make the tension obvious. Today, a vote to overturn a presidential election wouldn't be subject to a filibuster, and only require 50 votes — PolitiTweet.org

If you're looking for a strategy that might heighten the contradictions of the filibuster for Manchin, this style of proposal--laws that mandate supermajorities/bipartisanship where only majorities are needed today--is a clever route https://t.co/HEWOjIM9F7 — PolitiTweet.org

Another example might be to subject state election laws passed without bipartisan support--say, at least 20% of all major parties, to again align with the filibuster--to VRA preclearance and new standards for partisan fairness — PolitiTweet.org
