The Election of 2023

Yesterday's election was a good day for Democrats and a good day for freedom. The two Ohio ballot issues passed easily. Issue One on abortion received 56.6%, and Issue Two on marijuana received 57.0%. This was a great win for freedom of citizens from big government overreach into our private lives.

Kentucky's Democratic governor Andy Beshear won re-election. He gave a great victory speech, with the theme of the people of Kentucky not wanting to go left or right, but forward. His Repubican opponent had embraced Trumpism, and had enthusiastically touted Trump's endorsement. As with most Trump endorsements, this one fell flat, continuing quite a horrific losing streak for Trump-backed candidates.

The third key election was for control of the Virginia legislature. Control had been split between the two houses, but now Democrats will control both. A huge loss for Virginia GOP governor Glenn Youngkin, who had spent much of his political capital trying to gain full control of the legislature.
