One year ago was a moment when many things felt possible — whether or not you supported President Obama’s agenda. One year later, we’ve now seen that even a transformative figure in the Oval Office can’t transform the way Washington works. Only we can.
Watch Lawrence Lessig’s video presentation on why the Fair Elections Now Act is the most important reform right now to restore public trust in our democracy.

The Constitution provides for the states to regulate the time, place, and manner for elections to Congress but also authorizes Congress to make regulations regarding such matters. (See Article I, Section IV — and you thought that writing contradictory laws was a modern invention of attorneys)
For the most part, election laws including those governing congressional elections are made by state legislatures (e.g. when you file, how you file, where people vote, how parties nominate candidates, when primary elections are held).
Congress has passed a relatively small number of laws related to Congressional elections. Most important of these laws are the statutes establishing a uniform election date for regular (i.e. for full-term) elections to Congress — the first Tuesday after the First Monday in November. See 2 U.S.C 1 ("At the regular election held in any State next preceding the expiration of the term for which any Senator was elected to represent such State in Congress, at which election a Representative to Congress is regularly by law to be chosen, a United States Senator shall be elected . . . .") and 2 U.S.C. 7 ("The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even-numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States, of Representatives and Delegates to the Congress. . . . ").
Congress has also passed laws governing voter registration, voting machinery, campaign finance, and protecting voter rights.
Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine predicts that the Democrats will continue to hold majorities in both houses of Congress after the 2010 midterm elections.

At a Christian Science Monitor-sponsored lunch for reporters in Washington, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine predicted his party would retain its majority in both houses of Congress. – The Monitor Breakfast
Governor Tim Kaine was elected Chair of the Democratic National Committee on January 21, 2009.
Governor Kaine served as the 70th Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia from January 2006 until January 2010. During his tenure as Governor, Virginia was recognized as the best state for business in America (Forbes.com 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009; CNBC 2007, 2009), the top-performing state government in America (Governing Magazine, 2008) and the state where “a child is most likely to have a successful life” (Education Week, 2007). Under Governor Kaine’s leadership, Virginia had one of the highest median incomes and one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, even during the toughest economy since the 1930’s.
As a political leader, Governor Kaine helped Virginia Democrats regain two U.S. Senate seats, a majority of Virginia’s Congressional delegation and control of the state Senate. In addition, as the national co-chair of Obama for America, he campaigned in 15 states for the President and helped Virginia deliver its 13 electoral votes to a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time since 1964.
Prior to serving as Governor, Kaine served four terms on the Richmond City Council, including two terms as Mayor, and he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Virginia in 2001.
