I've been thinking about how the Dems can reassert themselves if/when they regain control of government. Obviously they can undo some of the gerrymandering at the state level after the 2020 census, but that just gets them back to the previous status quo at best. I think they should incorporate a second Voting Rights Act into their official platform. Automatic voter registration for all citizens and move election day to a weekend or make it a national holiday. Both moves that would increase turnout among the poor and disenfranchised .Maybe also restrict state ID requirements and establish minimum requirements for polling place hours or absentee balloting, although there might be constitutional issues with doing that through Congress.
Not only would this give the Dems a massive boost, it would also expose the GOP's concerted voter suppression efforts over the years and would be nearly impossible to reverse once it's in place.
