Congress Adjourns Without Passing Bill Restricting Partisan Activities of Secretaries of State

Congress adjourned on December 22 without having passed HR512, the bill to prohibit the chief Election Officer of any state from taking an active part in the campaign of any candidates for federal office.  The House had passed the bill easily on September 28, by a vote of 296-129.  But the Senate merely referred the bill to the Rules and Administration Committee, where it made no further headway.
