Countable’s Bracket of the Best Bill Acronyms in the 115th Congress

In honor of the 115th Congress entering its final days (amid a partial government shutdown) and politicians’ penchant for the pithy bill acronyms that have grown in popularity since the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, we’ve put together another tournament in which you — Countable users — will choose the best bill acronym of the 115th Congress.

We’ve taken the winners, runners-up, and semi-finalists you chose in our spring, summer, and fall bill acronym brackets and pitted them against each other. This round’s winners will face off in the quarterfinals on Wednesday (when the 3 winners & best runner-up enter the competition). Voting in this round will be open until midnight on Tuesday.

May the best bill acronym win!
