A local Congressman expresses disappointment about election reform legislation passing along party lines in the House this week. Bryan Steil of Janesville says some aspects of H.R. 1 could have enjoyed broader agreement if not sent through in package form. The Republican appears to agree with provisions for better tracking of campaign donations, but fears proposals for more federal control of elections. Republicans accuse Democrats of trying to change election rules in their favor. Democrats say the bill will improve access to the ballot box by creating an automatic voter registration, expanding early voting, and simplify voting by mail.
