Common sense prevailed in Minneapolis on Tuesday. The city won’t replace police officers with social workers after all. Minneapolis’ ballot Question 2, which would have eliminated the city’s police department and replaced it with a “Department of Public Safety,” went down in flames. It lost by a wide margin—nearly 17,700 votes—despite the huge amount of…

Liberal special interests have effective control of many municipal governments and government arms. The most notable case is school boards. The teachers union’s endorsement frequently determines the winner of school board races. The endorsed board members do the union’s bidding, as school closures and eternal mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate. Liberal partisans see…

It’s pretty fitting that voters elected Glenn Youngkin as governor of Virginia on the same night that the Atlanta Braves won the World Series. Youngkin focused largely on public schools in his campaign, with parents outraged over leftist curricula.

On the last day of its term, the Supreme Court delivered a victory for those who support commonsense election integrity measures. The 6-to-3 result in Brnovich v. DNC was the right decision, though the three dissenting justices didn’t see it that way. Neither Arizona’s “out of precinct” policy, which requires that a ballot cast by…

Partisan, political, designed to inflame. That’s what Merrick Garland’s recent speech on voting rights was. It certainly was not objective, measured, and deliberate—the kind of speech you expect from an attorney general. What’s worse, his central assertion—that state efforts to improve the integrity of the election process will make it “harder” for eligible citizens to vote—is demonstrably false….
