President Biden’s Slander at Selma
  + stars: | 2023-03-07 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
He seems to have abandoned “ Jim Crow 2.0,” but that was the extent of the nuance in President Biden’s political remarks Sunday in Selma, Ala. He was there to commemorate the anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” the 1965 brutality against a civil-rights march at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Calling for the freedom to vote, marchers were met by clubs and tear gas. “The right to vote and to have your vote counted is the threshold of democracy and liberty,” Mr. Biden said. Since the 2020 election, a wave of states and dozens—dozens of anti-voting laws fueled by the Big Lie, and the election deniers now elected to office.”
‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Dies Again in Georgia
  + stars: | 2022-12-07 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Whatever happened to “ Jim Crow 2.0”? That was President Biden’s slander against Georgia’s new voting law, yet Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock won a solid runoff victory Tuesday and a six-year term, with turnout that was hardly muted. Mr. Warnock is saying his win only proves Georgians can beat voter suppression, so it’s an unfalsifiable claim. Herschel Walker lost by nearly three points, as of the latest data, after trailing on Nov. 8 by only one point. “There’s no excuses in life,” Mr. Walker manfully conceded.
How Big Will the GOP House Majority Be After the Midterms?

There’s a point in every election when candidates realize they’re locked into their strategy and there’s no time for major changes. We’re there for the midterms, now less than six weeks away. All that’s left is for candidates to execute their plans, hoping they’ll bring victory. GOP candidates are focused on the economy (especially inflation), crime and the border crisis. They’re avoiding abortion, election laws and the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
