Hi. I'm new to this list. Some people may know me.

Now that the Dems are in power, we might consider tying the crypto key issue to the elimination of voter registration, on the basis that both voting and digital communication are forms of speech which should not be subjected to a chilling effect.
Good luck. As a practicing journalist, I can say that there is no way that I could make this argument in print. Everybody understand voter registration. There's support for the motor-voter bill. I can't even explain cryptography in the same amount of time that it takes to do an entire article on voter registration. There may be a theoretical connection between the two, but you'll never make that argument outside a university.
