I really like him. I think his views are clear and attractive to R voters too. He doesn't come across as combative. He's very level headed in interviews even when disagreeing with someone

That's why I clarified how long I've had my driver's license. I know I'm privileged with that. I'm dating myself with this, but back in the day, we just showed a voter registration card with our name and address. That was it.

Women everywhere are extolling the single life – not least, Pamela Anderson | Polly Hudson After five marriages and countless magazine covers, the former Baywatch star makes being makeup-free and unattached look the best of all worlds, writes Polly Hudson

When it comes to ending elite impunity, the US could learn from the UK | Jan-Werner MΓΌller British institutions can keep politicians somewhat in check. But in the US, shamelessness has become contagious

many of those close to Trump eventually start to imitate his conduct; the shamelessness becomes contagious, and the higher the frequency of shameless acts, the more difficult to make a scandal out of any of them: β€œflooding the zone with improper behavior”

Republican initiative for voter ID in California gathers enough support for ballot measure Proponents of the measure announce they have collected 1.3m signatures to put the issue on the midterm ballot

Under the current law, Californians are not required to show or provide identification when casting a ballot in person or by mail.

So, you just show up and say really, it's me? How does this work? I've only voted in Texas. I've always shown my state driver's license. I've had one since I was 16.
