True Or False:

Ranked choice voting is a scam to rig elections

Alaska’s real time case: Mary Peltola wins, no candidate was over 50% on first line

Yeah No: Agape Wasn’t Actually Ordered To Close

Multiple headlines make it seem like Agape has been ordered closed - it hasn’t been

Hearing Monday morning, so as you listen to this we will know the answer on if the order is put into operation or not
Folks have to look past the flash in the pan, headlines are not stories

Buy or Sell:

There is a “magic message” on abortion that Dems can use to win in November

TBV in MO, what kind of language can actually work?

Email from John Human, he’s a moderate democrat and he sends me emails about abortion, and he has written an op ed in the KC star about it as well - basically arguing that Dems in MO can embrace a moderate pro-choice stance and ride that to wins

Moderate aboriton language op-ed from John

https://www.kansascity.com/article264909304.html
Email language:

Candidates should be calling for a voter petition just like Kansas had
What incentive does a candidate have to have the petition on the ballot instead of making the case that the candidate can do this IF elected?

Does compromise language actually matter or is the issue itself what matters?
Pair it with marriage equality?
