I dislike early voting. I oppose it for many reasons. Things change in the race as new info becomes available and, as we will learn this year, it creates a hassle, room for fraud and opportunities for legal wrangling. But, I thought I would vote early this year. I was already decided on all the […]

No, Doug Jones is not leading Tommy Tuberville

We don’t have to do this. The media doesn’t have to do this. You don’t have to do this. Tommy Tuberville is not Roy Moore. However, U.S. Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) is still Doug Jones. I have been over this multiple times: Doug Jones didn’t win in 2017. Roy Moore lost. Black women didn’t push Doug […]
