Ballotpedia’s Daily Brew for Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024
Election preparation and results – we’ve got you today and all week.
Well Behaved Women
If there is a unifying theme in American Women’s History, it is the constant, never-ending insistence that women exceed expectations to be heard. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s quotation, “Well-behaved women seldom make history,” is often misinterpreted as a call to action. In reality, it was the lament of a historian observing that the archive often silences women unless men deemed their behavior problematic because women had no voice in government, no property, no power, and, therefore, left no records.

The Atwater Way
The rule of law is that voter rolls can not be changed 90 days before the election, yet the Supreme Court just ruled that Youngkin can purge the voter roles just 6 days before the election. The claim is that this is to keep suspected illegal immigrants from voting. The key word there is suspected because they don’t have time to check, and those disenfranchised by this ruling don’t have time to appeal their removal from the voting rolls.
Is This the Soft Landing?
Our economy has never been able to catch its breath from inflation without a recession – until (maybe) now, all the more reason to avoid Trump’s risky tariffs.
