Policy Solution

A new era of anticorruption reform is long overdue.

Congress must make voting fairer and more accessible for U.S. citizens and mitigate damage done by states, the executive branch, and the Supreme Court.

What will matter most at this moment is not just what we are against, but what we are for.

An overburdened, underresourced, and gridlocked Congress has contributed to executive abuse, Supreme Court overreach, and public discontent.

Congress must return the Court to its proper place in the U.S. constitutional system.

To prevent corruption, the Constitution prohibits the president and other officials from receiving untoward benefits. Congress, however, must take action to enable enforcement.

States must step up to help election officials protect their staff, facilities, and voting systems.

Stronger safeguards can ensure that the process cannot be exploited to disrupt elections.

Federal and state policymakers must rise to the challenge artificial intelligence poses to safe, secure elections and responsive, accountable governance.

The president and Congress can take targeted measures to prevent crime, reduce incarceration and recidivism, and save money.
