We are now in the post-elections "blues" (or the "reds") depending on who and what you voted for in the mid-term elections.

What we cover...

Overview of the country's election results, especially on states under the microscope (Texas, Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania).

Inflation? Cost of living increases? But in Central Ohio, all the school levies pass.

Divided federal government DOES work. Here's how.

Voter ID. None is needed in Michigan or North Carolina, for example. Why not?

Election interference from Russia and China. Proven.

No loitering or congregating near polling places. Voters, get over yourself if you don't know the rules, and quit hassling those that do.

Why aren't candidates answering questions posed to them for the League of Women Voters? And is it a missed opportunity to win a few votes?

Straight ticket voting pros (are there) and cons (there are many). Exercise your right to vote. (the act of putting into use, action, or practice the exercise of power)
