With 23 GOP seats up for grabs this year -- versus only a dozen Democratic seats -- Senate Democrats see a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pad their majority with as many as four to seven new seats.
This could be a great chance to get that solid majority in the Senate we've been discussing...that senators have claimed they need to "get stuff done."

Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-CA) has introduced the Federal Election Integrity Act (H.R. 101.) It would prohibit chief state election officials from engaging in political activity on behalf of federal candidates over whose elections the officials have supervisory authority.
How would this help? According to Rep. Davis's office (received by e-mail, no link)
This bill would prevent the troubling conflicts of interest that we saw in the cases of Ken Blackwell and Katherine Harris.
Whether the bill gets a hearing or even traction, depends in part on you. If you support it, contact your own member of Congress and ask them to sign on as co-sponsors of H.R. 101.
