Alaska becomes second state to approve ranked-choice voting as Ballot Measure 2 passes by 1% Starting with the 2022 election, the measure will merge the state’s two primary elections into one, and the top four vote-getters regardless of political party will advance to the general election. Some states have so-called “top two” primaries. Alaska will be the only state with a “top four” primary. ........... In the general election, voters will be asked to rank the four candidates in order of preference. Maine already uses that system. Ranked-choice voting would apply to legislative races, and all statewide races, including governor, U.S. Senate and U.S. House. The 2024 presidential race will also be ranked-choice but is not subject to the top-four primary. ........ In Massachusetts, a statewide ranked-choice measure was defeated by a wide margin.
Trump's Potential Criminal Liability but how to deal with his predecessor’s flagrant and relentless subversion of the rule of law is in many ways the most vexing. ......... there is nothing to protect a former president from prosecution. No ex-president has ever been indicted before, but no president has ever left office with so much potential criminal liability. ........... a growing sense that his moment of reckoning was coming. He was, after all, already the subject of a criminal investigation by the district attorney of Manhattan as well as a civil investigation by the attorney general of New York State. Both of those inquiries concern his conduct as a private businessman. ............ The visions of Donald Trump in an orange jumpsuit were more fantasy than reality. ........... The damage to democracy that would be caused by a failed prosecution of a former president is hard to even fathom. An acquittal could also set back future efforts at accountability, and embolden aspiring abusers of authority. Even once he’s out of office, Trump is going to be a powerful force in the country’s political life; putting him on trial for his conduct as president would be tantamount to putting on trial the more than 72 million Americans who voted for his re-election. ......... Prosecuting a former president could mean convicting him, and the idea of sending a former president to prison does indeed seem fantastical. .......... how does the country move on from a president whose disregard for the law has been so constant and pervasive? ......... Trump’s conduct as president was a product of his unique character. But it was also enabled by the office. .......... The stakes of prosecuting Donald Trump may be high; but so are the costs of not prosecuting him

Trump's Election-Fraud Business Is Booming The president needn’t risk his own money as long as others are willing to chip in.
Diego Maradona, Argentina’s Hero, and Mine Through him, I was able to experience the incomparable joy of being champion of the world in the sport I loved. ........... I spent the next four days rewatching Maradona’s most memorable goals and interviews.
Democrats, Stay United Even though significant compromises will be required in Congress and not every progressive idea will be embraced. ......... All committed Democrats agree that Black lives matter, that every American is entitled to good health care and that climate change represents our greatest existential threat.
