Adams is also only at 39 percent after ranked choice—even less than the threshold to avoid a runoff in the old system. — PolitiTweet.org

On the point about progressives: --felon enfranchisement has not been elevated as a top issue on the left, like ID, though many care deeply about it --voter ID is their best carrot; i don't think they would trade it unless they felt like voting rights are secured thereafter — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

In terms of the details, it seems to me that there are two fairly serious issues. --I don't really think criminalization of election subversion is an effective means of tackling the issue; --I don't think progressives would impose new ID requirements for felon enfranchisement — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

Emphasis on relatively, ofc. Hardly likely. But compared to other starting-points, it's --it's narrow, digestable and negotiable --it doesn't do anything with huge partisan consequences, like end gerrymandering; --it's not tied up with the 2020 voting wars, like mail voting — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

Leaving the details aside for a second (see rest of thread), the basic formula here--voter ID for a basic voting rights protection (not expansion) + subversion safeguards--is a *relatively* plausible blueprint https://t.co/uHKyIwals1 — PolitiTweet.org

@aaron_strauss @jon_m_rob @johnmsides @vavreck @cwarshaw yeah and you probably need it to appear to 'work' too--polls with Obama ahead in Ohio with Romney underwater fav--maybe he would have been there anyway--and now it's not just that Obama's defining Romney but he has been defined, and it gets repeated the rest of the way — PolitiTweet.org

But this question--how to make sense of the modern GOP--is one of the biggest, implicit factors dividing the left-liberal coalition, and it isn't always spoken to directly. It has implications all the way down to the debate on whether Dems should want compromise on infrastructure — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

I haven't read any of the other major counter-explanations written out in full like this (instead, i've mainly seen those counter-interpretations alluded to in pieces arguing the GOP isn't so antidemocratic, rather than framed around explaining any antidemocratic tendencies) — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

This is one of the clearer summations I've read yet of a case I hear sometimes: that GOP should be understood as the latest manifestation of a latent but continuous neo-confederate faction that's fundamentally unwilling to accept multiracial democracy https://t.co/3hwsdvrG0X — PolitiTweet.org
