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

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

I don't see Manchin giving up on the filibuster so easily, of course. But for progressives, these kind of laws could highlight how inaction leads to more partisan outcomes, rather than encourage bipartisanship in election administration — PolitiTweet.org
