A Good Election Night for Our Rights

 

The big news out of Ohio was that voters came out to support a bill enshrining the right to abortion in the state constitution, but the evening's results showed more than that: the above ad shows that voters understood their rights were on the line in Kentucky, and in Virginia, the Democrats held the state senate and flipped the house, denying bland but super-conservative Gov. Youngkin the opportunity to ban abortion there

It was a good night for reproductive rights. 

It was also a good night for Yusef Salaam who won a New York City council seat--he was one of the Exonerated Five. He got sort of an "endorsement" from Donald Trump once--he endorsed that innocent man be executed

Anyway, there were good signs for Democrats. Democrat Dan McCaffrey won a Supreme Court seat in Pennsylvania against an anti-abortion candidate, but this win is also big for what is sure to be a meaningful year ahead regarding voting rights and election law. 

I guess Republicans can point to their success in keeping very corrupt Tate Reeves in as governor in Mississippi...but well. It's Mississippi.
