Aggregate, all these places did something praiseworthy and novel. They took steps to make it easier to vote. They did this by expanding eligibility for mailin voting and early voting and adding drop boxes for ballots right . Theres Public Health concern. You dont want everyone crowding in on election day so people found ways to just make it easier to vote so you wouldnt have that. And the results are clear. It worked. Turnout was the highest it had been in 120 years. Nearly 67 of eligible voters cast a ballot. And also there was no uniform drubbing of one party by the other. It was not a blowout. It was a competitive election. Yes, joe biden won by a healthy margin. 7 million votes. 70 plus Electoral College votes. But remember republicans gained seats in the house. They want some key senate rates right . Now rather than looking at that outcome and thinking wow, we can be a Competitive Party even in high turnout elections which would have been a totally rational conclusion. Republican

Focusing on rushing through a nominee to the United States Supreme Court rather than doing everything we can to work across the aisle to craft a solution. To the problems, the crises facing our nation. Tens of millions of americans, unemployed. Hundreds of thousands of businesses permanentlylo closed. Schools all over the country either not yet open or just barely opened, and thousands upon thousands of americans died alone in pain, and comforted by family, uncertain of how they came to be in this place and cared for by their country.

In doing so, they violated the rule that their leader, Mitch Mcconnell, imposed in 2016 which kept Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court after president obama nominated him in february of that year to fill the vacancy that arose with the death of justice antonin scalia. That rule was clear. That rule was concise. That rule was definitive. The senate would not consider a nomination to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court during a president ial election year. Many of my republican colleagues echoed leader mcconnells pledge. In fact, my colleague, senator Lindsey Graham, who chairs the judiciary committee, admonished us to
