The next voter suppression frontier is proof of citizenship. Mark my words, if a majority of Wisconsin voters approve the November 5 referendum, legislation will be written soon thereafter requiring citizens to have a valid passport or an original birth certificate before being allowed to register to vote or cast a ballot.

Activists and voting officials reflect on their tactics, amid a fresh wave of disinformation and tampering.

In the end, this election has nothing to do with Democratic or Republican ideology. The question is whether the nation wants a future that is normal and safe. It’s as simple – and unsettling – as that.

Though she may not be so left-wing as the Ripon Republicans of 1854, Harris has views that are reasonably in sync with the first candidate they elected to the presidency.
