Honey had a good idea for the Presidential Election. I thought expanding it to have threads for the Senate and the House would be a good idea since the three things are pretty dissimilar in how they’re liable to behave. So go get 'em, people. Discuss the Senatorial elections here.
I’m very excited to see what happens in NC.
Ross is a former ACLU attorney who would be one of the dwindling number of stalwart civil libertarians in the Senate (probably her and Feingold, if he wins, and increasingly Wyden). Burr is the chairman of the intelligence committee and is awful on pretty much every issue–plays politics on Zika, has unscientific views of encryption, wants to cripple the Supreme Court, etc.
And it’s going to be a tight race.
