With extreme gerrymanders locking in, Biden needs to make democracy preservation job one

It's time for political leaders to up their game in preserving democracy.

On Monday, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, an intergovernmental organization that works to promote and advance electoral processes world-wide, issued the latest warning about the condition of democracy in the United States.

Its new report includes this country as among nations suffering from "a severe and deliberate kind of democratic erosion."

Among other things, the report referred to recently approved states' voter registration and voting laws in Republican states that "disproportionately affect minorities in a negative way."
