First -- ten big questions that will shape voting rights:
Republicans don't want a special election and it's not like McCarthy has any margin to spare. I'd expect House Rs to punt on all things Santos bc of that. They need the vote

By fighting Kevin McCarthy’s bid to be the next Speaker of the House, the right wing of the Republican Party won significant concessions that will make it a powerful player in Congress. The Left should learn to replicate its tactics for egalitarian ends.
Midterms have already shown signs that Rs have a disconnect between what its biggest activist groups want on abortion and what the broader R electorate may be willing to accept in the name of winning. And obviously evangelicalism plays a huge role here
