Two Senators, One Election

Standard

Could Georgia’s senate elections produce a split result? I looked at the historical precedents when states have elected two senators on the same day, today at The Federalist.

Post-Election Articles

Standard

A couple of new pieces up this week:

  • At Broad + Liberty, I analyzed the growth in Trump’s vote in Philadelphia and what it means for future Republicans candidates there.
  • At The Federalist, I discussed what Andrew Jackson’s supporters did after losing the 1824 election, and what Trump’s might do now.

Never Pay the Dane-Geld

Standard

As my hometown of Philadelphia burns, remember that voting to appease the rioters only proves that violence works and leads to more of it. My latest at The Federalist.

Blame the Law, Not the court

Standard

Democrats and originalists were on the same side in the recent Pa. S.Ct. decision. As I wrote today in The Federalist, flaws in the law are the legislature’s fault in this case.

Signs of the times

Standard

Two new pieces from me this week:

*At Broad+Liberty, I wrote about the escalating lawn-sign wars and what it means for neighborly relations.

*In The Federalist, I wrote about how Kamala Harris’s nomination cements the rise of money and the decline of workers as the ruler of the Democratic Party.

Caucus, Caucus, Caucus!

Today at The Federalist, I wrote about how the Iowa Caucus works and why it’s better than a primary.
