Retired risk and control systems professional. Daylight and stop the oligarch’s drive to consolidate power in the free world. One of their key goals will be to control what people can find out about their communities and the world around them.

"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

And when people ask what should the Democrats do, particularly in light of the fact that the President retains a veto: plenty. I will start with the petty: do not invite the President to give the SOTU. Have him send a letter. A more substantive approach: it is time to audit the Executive Branch.
