You are reading this on the Internet, and you might be wondering if meatspace interactions still matter when it comes to elections. The Superspreader-In-Chief had his massive rallies and lost to the guy who adhered to social distancing guidelines....

For two years, the media pundits proclaimed that it was inevitable: Republicans would win the 2022 midterms in a "red wave" that would render Democrats and Joe Biden irrelevant. Never mind that MAGA Republicans had attacked our government on Jan. 6....

Georgia is ground zero for control of the Senate. 538 reports that Senator Warnock is the most endangered Democratic incumbent. As crazy as it seems, the latest Atlanta Journal poll shows Herschel Walker ahead of Senator Warnock 46 to 44 (within the...
