Brilliant. Can it be done? If not why not?

But aren’t they “budgeting” other things into existence that weren’t there before? Why not “budget” voter protection into existence without referencing suppression? If you can justify paying for all kinds of socially beneficial programs as a way of creating those programs, isn’t voter protection similar?

It could be done, if there's enough public push for it. If you like the idea, promote it, "give it oxygen." You could also go to my link, and use it to send the same message to your congress critters.
