Notes

Senate stall is the story the right isn't covering. Five states implementing unilaterally ahead of federal law creates a patchwork for the 2026 midterms. Brennan Center disenfranchisement numbers (21M lacking proof) are the left's sharpest weapon here — and they're documented.

Coverage Gap

Right outlets largely not covering the implementation details — running victory framing only, not the mechanics of who gets disenfranchised.
