We said this a ton during Obama’s time in office. Look where we are now. Expecting things today to play out like they did in the past just seems extremely naive now.

It’s a little ironic given that statement of yours is itself naive.
Much of the gov policy enforcement is good faith-based, which is obviously terrible, but what do you suggest though? Do you think the Republicans will go along with adjusting rules to be specific and enforced? They survive in-part due to these flimsy definitions and policies enforced by good faith.
Look how difficult it was just to get these exceptions passed. How the fuck are we going to fix any of that with a literal do-nothing house? Furthermore, what little bandwidth that does exist is undoubtedly being spent shoring up the loose threads that nearly snapped on and around J6.
You’re talking about the Federal level, which has nothing to do with the DNC’s current problem in Ohio. They’ve been running around all year trying to change the order in which the states vote. So far, most all of them have told the DNC to pound sand, including Ohio. This deadline did not spring up out of nowhere, and it’s only a problem because of the DNC’s poor planning.
Seriously what was the plan? Ignore the deadlines and expect a last-minute exception to be made? I’m not singing the praises of the Ohio GOP, and I agree they’re being dicks about this, but who really caused this problem? Ohio didn’t set the DNCC date. States run their elections how they want. A federal officer coming in and saying “No, do it this way because we said so” isn’t how the this system was intended to function.
