Republican Bernie Moreno in Ohio's tight Senate race has put abortion at the center of debate. "Sadly, by the way, there's a lot of suburban women, a lot of suburban women that are like, Listen, abortion is it,'" Mr. Moreno said at a town hall at Warren County on September 20. The GOP candidate added: "If I can't have an abortion in this country whenever I want, I will vote for anybody else.' OK. It's a little crazy, by the way, but especially for women who are like past 50, I'm thinking to myself, I don't think that's an issue for you.'" read more

Should CT allow no-excuse absentee voting?
Why not?
As noted in the article: "In the past 40 or 50 years, 36 states and the District of Columbia have passed absentee voting for all."
"Twenty-eight states offer "no-excuse" absentee voting, which means that any voter can request and cast an absentee/mail ballot, no excuse or reason necessary.
Eight states and Washington, D.C., conduct elections entirely by mail (California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington), which means voters do not need to request a ballot, and instead automatically receive one.

Is a government with the Dems controlling only 1/6th of the branches of government desirable? No, but that may be the best that we can do given the desires of our fellow citizens.
Wow!
I guess this sort of thing is a good reason for the Palestinians not to instigate a war by raping and slaughtering 1,400 Israeli civilian men, women, and children in cold blood a year ago or for the Lebanese (who had no dog in the fight) to fire 8,000 rockets at them for that year.
No? Well, carry on.
