Last night's historic rebuke of the party in power registers as a 10.0 on the Richter scale.
It was an emphatic message from voters: they want real checks and balances, especially on the president.
But also the Supreme Court. 1/
Whether it’s fighting corruption or reforming our democracy, the to-do list coming out of yesterday’s returns must include term limits for the Supreme Court.
We propose 18-year term limits for the nation’s highest court. To learn more about how it would work, please see our proposal. brennancenter.org/our-work/p…
Read FEC Chair @ShanaMBroussard's piece in @Slate about the eye-popping amount that a single donor can contribute to a political party to benefit just one single federal candidate: $3,126,400.

BREAKING: In a win for voters, the Supreme Court denied the Department of Justice's request to order California to segregate 20,000 ballots, mere hours after DOJ asked the Supreme Court for the extreme remedy. 1/2

Unlike state supreme courts, the U.S. Supreme Court has no effective framework for holding its justices accountable for ethics violations. That needs to change, writes Gabe Roth of Fix the Court.

Repeating my earlier reminder:
To be absolutely clear: This has NOTHING to do with voter files or voter registration. Those are maintained by the states. The FEC only handles federal campaign finance filings.
We are working hard to restore the systems as soon as possible.
Update: Work continues to resolve the electronic filing system outage. FEC.gov’s other campaign finance data searches remain available as do PDFs of reports.
