THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Republicans and Democrats traded Senate pick-
ups in early returns Tuesday, but control of the
chamber was still very much in doubt as the night
dragged on.
Sen. Cory Gardner, a Republican, was ousted in
Colorado, while Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat, lost
his seat in Alabama.
The two parties held serve elsewhere in early
returns, with Democrats winning along the mid-
Atlantic and Republicans defending seats through-
out much of the heartland.
That included Kentucky, where Sen. Mitch Mc-
Connell, the top-ranking Republican in Congress,
won a seventh term and handily fended off a chal-
lenge by Democrat Amy McGrath, despite being
vastly outspent.

Trump permanently transforms
the Republican Party of Reagan
BY DAVID SHERFINSKI
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
President Trump, eyeing a
screaming throng of supporters
in Arizona last week, ventured
into what would have been con-
sidered Republican blasphemy a
decade ago.
“We all liked Ronald Reagan,
but nobody ever said, ‘We love
you. We love you. We love you,’ ”
the president said in Bullhead
City. “And he wouldn’t get crowds
like this. If Ronald Reagan, who
I consider to be top-notch, if he
came here, he’d have a couple
hundred people legitimately. …
We’re having 25, 30, 35, 40, 45,000
people.”
The crowd cheered.

topher Barron, who originally

hung in the balance Tuesday night as voters turned
out in record numbers to decide whether to reward
Mr. Trump with a second term or switch to Demo-
crat Joseph R. Biden in a year marred by a pandemic,
economic lockdowns and street violence.
Early voting data across the sharply divided
country suggested turnout would exceed 155 mil-
lion, easily topping the previous record of 137.1
million in 2016.
Voters were also deciding 35 races for the U.S.
Senate, where Republicans were defending a four-
seat majority, and all 435 House seats nationwide.
The president received an early boost by open-
ing up a commanding lead in must-win Florida,
the largest swing state with 29 electoral votes. He
earned more than 50% support from Hispanic vot-
ers, a significant improvement from 2016, and also
got more support from other non-White voters.
Mr. Trump also led among seniors, 52% to 47%,
according to early exit polls. He led Mr. Biden in
Florida by about 3 percentage points with more
than 90% of the votes counted, triple his margin

Veteran Republican Party campaign strategist J.

Tucker Martin said he cringed as he drove across
Virginia this election season and saw the signs
urging people to vote on Nov. 3.
“That’s completely out of date now,” Mr. Martin
said. “Election Day is the day early voting starts and
every day thereafter.”
Just like the Christmas season, which now seems
to start after Halloween, the practice of voting has
expanded well beyond the first Tuesday in Novem-
ber. Thanks to rules changes in some states this year,
it could last well beyond Election Day, too.
In Virginia, the first day of early voting was Sept.
18. To Mr. Martin, that means “today is the 47th
Election Day that we had.”

BACK TO BUSINESS, OR KUMBAYA TIME?

Few will forget election night four years ago. Remember? At
2:29 a.m. Eastern on Nov. 9, 2016, The Associated Press at last
called the race for then-Republican nominee Donald Trump. The
news service issued a “flash” announcement two minutes later —
The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio
and three other news organizations followed with their own revela-
tions three minutes later.
At 2:50 a.m., Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton called and
congratulated Mr. Trump according to an AP timeline of the piv-
otal events.
“They had maybe a one-minute conversation, very gracious,
very warm, he commended her for being smart and tough and
running a hard-fought campaign,” Kellyanne Conway, who was
campaign manager at the time, said in a statement.
At 2:52 a.m. Mr. Trump said the following: “It is time for us
to come together,” then he pledged to be a president “for all
Americans.”
At 7:18 a.m., President Obama called to congratulate Mr.
Trump, and at 11:44 a.m., Mrs. Clinton offered a concession speech.
“We must accept this result. Donald Trump is going to be our
president and we owe him an open mind and a chance to lead,” she
advised her followers.
So here we are again — after months of partisan acrimony, wea-
risome media coverage and unprecedented campaigning. What do
Americans want now? Well, of course there’s a poll which does not
have promising news. A new Yahoo News/YouGov survey finds
that 58% of registered U.S. voters say it’s more important for the
2020 presidential election winner to “bring people together even if
it compromises his agenda.”
Well, isn’t that nice? But wait. There is no agreement here, so
buckle up. The poll found that only 38% of Republicans like this
idea, compared to 75% of Democrats. More numbers in the Poll du
Jour at column’s end.
NOW THERE’S A THOUGHT
“When your presidential candidate loses, here’s what to do,”
writes Karol Markowicz, an opinion contributor to USA Today.
Yes, you’ll be sad, let down and confused, she says. Conspiracy
theories will surface. People will says “America is over,” along with
other predictions. Yes, it is tough for the losing party. But keep
moving forward.
“Most of all, do not imagine that one man stands in the way of
America’s destruction and if your fellow Americans don’t choose
that man, all is lost. America’s entire design is that we do not rely
on one person to save us. Continue to fight for what you care
about, but do not lose your perspective. If you woke up an Ameri-

other opportune spots as the partisan combat rages. Then what?
Some people keep signs, others toss them — and a few attempt
to recycle them — a complicated business with policies that vary
from town to town, state to state.
“Go ahead, celebrate your candidates’ wins or cry over their
losses! Either way, you can recycle your campaign yard signs —
plastic film, corrugated plastic, and paper signs plus the metal
stands — at the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District, reports
the city of Seven Hills, Ohio — which refers to itself as a “nonpar-
tisan” recycler.
“Corrugated plastic yard signs are no longer recyclable. Metal
frames without the sign can be recycled at a drop-off center that
takes scrap metal,” counters Eco-Cycle, a nonprofit recycler in
Boulder, Colorado, that has been around since 1976.
“Campaign signs are typically made of corrugated plastic and
must go in the trash,” advises the town of Truckee, California —
along with balloons, bicycle helmets, candles, trophies and 160
other items considered trash, not recyclables.
“Campaign signs are a recycling challenge because they’re
made from multiple materials, such as paper, plastic and metal.
Disposing of them requires taking them apart and disposing of
each portion based on its material,” says Lake County Recycles in
Ukiah, California.
Yes, well. Go ahead and check local recycling edicts and hope
for the best. In the meantime, Florida-based manufacturer Custom
Signs advises repurposing signs with spray paint as holiday greet-
ing signs, or for use as wintertime sleds. The metal stakes can be
used to anchor outdoor Christmas decorations or as plant sup-
ports in the garden, the company notes.

Department of Homeland Security offi-

government is confident that the nation’s

by foreign interference, but they cautioned
that America’s adversaries may still attempt
to create problems.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Secu-

confident that the vote and vote-count are
secure and the results will also be secure.
“We have seen some attempts by
foreign actors, Iran and Russia, to attempt
to interfere in the 2020 election. We have
addressed those threats quickly, compre-
hensively, and publicly,” Mr. Krebs said
at a press conference on Tuesday. “We’re
not out of the woods yet though. Today, in
some sense, is halftime. There may be other
events or activities or efforts to interfere
and undermine confidence in the election.”
Mr. Krebs asked Americans to be patient
and said voters should treat sensational

Strzok, Page willing to settle lawsuit against Justice Department
A pair of anti-Trump ex-FBI officials
said Tuesday they are open to settling
their lawsuits against the Justice Depart-
ment for releasing their private text mes-
sages as the department seeks to push a
possible trial into late 2021 or possibly
2022.
Former lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa
Page said in a court filing they are willing
to explore the possibility of a settlement,
but cautioned that such an outcome is
unlikely. Neither has had discussions with
the Justice Department about a potential
settlement, according to the filing.
The two also said that unless there
is a settlement, their claims cannot be
resolved without a trial, citing “many
material disputes in the case.”
Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page have accused
the Justice Department of unlawfully re-
leasing to the press private text messages
between each other.
They say former Attorney General
Jeff Sessions authorized the release as
political retribution for their criticism of
President Trump. The lawsuit also claims
that the Justice Department bucked its
traditional disclosure process for releas-
ing materials in the public interest.

Jackson in September ruled the cases,

Trump administration
rolls out HHS’ ‘biggest
regulatory reform effort’
BY DAVID SHERFINSKI
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Trump administration on
Tuesday rolled out what it is billing
as the “biggest regulatory reform
effort” in the history of the De-
partment of Health and Human
Services with a proposed rule to
more easily end dormant or inef-
fective regulations.
Brian Harrison, chief of staff
at HHS, described the push as
“basically the biggest regulatory
reform effort in the history of the
world’s biggest regulatory agency.”
Under the proposed rule, any
regulation issued by HHS, with
limited exceptions, would end
after 10 years unless the regula-
tion gets a rigorous review of its
economic and practical effects.
“I would expect this to be en-
during,” Mr. Harrison told The
Washington Times. “I think it’s
very telling that every presidential
administration going back to Pres-
ident Carter has made attempts at
solving this problem that we have
now found a way to solve.”
There would be a two-year
grace period for existing regula-
tions from the time the rule would
take effect, which Mr. Harrison
estimated would be late this year
or early next year.
The department projected that
85% of HHS regulations created
before 1990 have not been edited.
“They’ve got mountains of dirt
and dust on those rules,” Mr. Har-
rison said. “Those would have
two years even though they were
issued over 10 years ago.”
A provision in the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980 says major
regulations are supposed to be
reviewed every 10 years.
“This has largely been ignored
for the past 40 years and we found
a way to actually take it very seri-
ously,” Mr. Harrison said.
HHS Secretary Alex Azar
said the Trump administration
is finding a way to deliver on the
intent of the law.
“With HHS regulatory respon-
sibilities as wide-ranging as food
safety, drug approval, adoption
and childcare, and healthcare
financing, it’s essential that we
know — and inform the American
people — whether we’re executing
on these responsibilities in a way
that maximizes benefits, mini-
mizes costs, and keeps up with
the times,” Mr. Azar said.
Mr. Harrison said past presi-
dents ranging from Ronald Rea-
gan to Barack Obama have all tried
to force more periodic reviews of
rules amid the vast federal bureau-
cracy but have found it difficult to
make major headway.
He pointed out that Reagan
required agencies to analyze how
burdensome a rule is before they
issue one “because rules are by
definition burdensome.”
“But what has never been prop-
erly done is a review in light of all
of the information, evidence and
data since the rule has been pub-
lished,” he said. “Every president
back to Carter has demanded it.
We’re finally doing it.”
The Trump administration has
been engaged in a major deregula-
tory push since President Trump
was inaugurated.
Mr. Trump signed an execu-
tive order in January 2017 say-
ing that for every new regulation
that’s issued, at least two regu-
lations should be identified for
elimination.
Mr. Harrison said that both
the administration in general and
HHS leadership specifically are
“proudly deregulatory.”
“This is another big step to-
ward that broader mission,” he
said.
White House economic ad-
viser Larry Kudlow told report-
ers Tuesday that Americans can
expect more deregulation after
the election.

corners to quell riots in Portland
Deployed agents without assurances they received training
BY STEPHEN DINAN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Department of Homeland Security
officials cut too many corners when
they deployed additional agents to Port-
land, Oregon, over the summer to quell
riots near the federal courthouse, the
department’s inspector general said in
a new report this week, delivering the
latest blow over the aggressive federal
response.
Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari
said agents and officers were deployed
without assurances they had received
training beforehand on the legal author-
ity they were acting under.
Some of those personnel ended up
using force against demonstrators while
in Portland, the audit found.
The deployment was particularly
thorny given the clashing legal perspec-
tives about Homeland Security’s role.
Federal judges in Oregon have slapped
injunctions on federal police, limiting
the kinds of actions they can take and, as
of this week, declaring most of the city
a no-go zone for federal officers using
crowd control tactics.
“The violations uncovered by the inspector general are part of a pattern of
DHS serving the president’s political aims rather than following the law.”
— Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, Mississippi Democrat
Mr. Cuffari said the slip-up came
with the head of the Federal Protective
Service, an agency that oversees security
at federal buildings.
He tried to designate people from the
Transportation Security Administration,
Secret Service, Customs and Border
Protection, and Immigration and Cus-
toms Enforcement — all fellow security
agencies within the department. But the
Federal Protective Service bungled the
procedures and didn’t properly desig-
nate the additional agents and officers,
Mr. Cuffari concluded.
Not only did the agency not properly
list the specific personnel from other
agencies who were drafted to help,
but there also was no guarantee they
received the training the Federal Protec-
tive Service’s own procedures required.
The Department of Homeland Se-
curity vehemently rejected the audit’s
conclusions.
The department’s acting general
counsel said the list of designations
had to be “dynamic” because of the fast-
changing nature of the protests and the
threat to federal buildings.
The lawyer said the inspector
general’s interpretation of the law gov-
erning designations was “flawed” and
said the audit didn’t find any specific
officers or agents who missed out on
the training.
But Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, chair-
man of the House Homeland Security
Committee, said the audit was another
strike against the department’s handling
of the summer’s protests.
“The violations uncovered by the
inspector general are part of a pattern
of DHS serving the president’s political
aims rather than following the law,” the
Mississippi Democrat said.
He said Homeland Security needs
to tread carefully as it ponders new de-
ployments in response to Election Day
demonstrations.
The inspector general’s audit also
renewed warnings over the broader
legal situation at the department, where
some investigators — and courts — have
found acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf is
not properly serving in his position.
Those findings could taint dozens
of official actions the department has
taken over the year Mr. Wolf has been
designated as the acting chief.

Barr and the Justice Department,
urged Judge Bates to block the re-
port’s release. The fund also asked
for the panel to be disbanded
and reformed with more diverse
participants.
The court rejected the group’s
demand and instead greenlighted
publication as long as the Justice
Department adds a disclaimer
and attaches his first ruling to it.
Judge Bates said “a conspicu-
ous disclaimer” on the report
will ensure “that everyone who
views the report learns it was
produced unlawfully by a non-
representative body.”
Ordering a new panel would
be wasteful because the commis-
sion has completed its meetings
and spent more than $4 million
of taxpayer funds to produce the
report, Judge Bates ruled.
“Surely, a fresh inquiry would
be costly, even if the old materi-
als are not completely wasted,”
he wrote.
Justice Department lawyers
had argued that the commission
was not subject to the Federal Ad-
visory Committee Act, but they
did not challenge claims it would
run afoul of the law, if applicable.
In his September ruling, Judge
lack of diversity has left the re-
port “tainted” and “absolutely
discredited.”
“The cynical deployment of
this illegal commission is particu-
larly egregious at a time when,
across the country, Americans
are demanding accountability for
police violence against unarmed
African Americans and confront-
ing the reality of police violence
against peaceful protesters,” she
said in a statement.
Fair and Just Prosecution, a
national network of prosecutors
advocating for criminal justice
reform, said adding the disclaimer
was the right move.
“The Court appropriately high-
lighted the egregiousness of the
Commission’s bias and its wholly
unrepresentative membership,
noting that the violations of FACA
were stark,” the group said in a
statement. “While the Court al-
lowed the report to be published,
requiring that any publication in-
clude a strong disclaimer will be a
clear message to all of the lack of
legitimacy reflected by a process
that blatantly ignored federal law.”
A Justice Department spokes-
woman did not immediately re-
spond to a request for comment.
Mr. Barr unveiled the com-
mission in January, following an
executive order in October 2019.
It is tasked with studying mental
illness, homelessness, substance
abuse and other issues that im-

SUPREME COURT

Catholic adoption agency case puts spotlight on Barrett’s religious faith

BY ALEX SWOYER
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Newly minted Supreme Court
Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s
Catholic faith, which liberals
argued should keep her off the
bench, will be tested Wednesday
when she hears a case pitting
religious liberty against LGBTQ
rights.
In the case, Catholic Social
Services challenged the City of
Philadelphia’s compelling the
organization to place foster chil-
dren with same-sex and unmar-
ried couples.
Philadelphia ended adoption
services through Catholic Social
Services after discovering the
organization only works with
married different-sex couples
and the church’s teachings on
sex and marriage.
“Given all the discussion
about her religion, that will prob-
ably be one that people will be
focused on,” Curt Levey, presi-
dent of the conservative Com-
mittee of Justice, said of Justice
Barrett’s role in the legal battle.
During her confirmation
hearing to both the appeals court
in 2017 and then to the Supreme
Court last month, Justice Barrett
was probed about being a devout
Catholic and how her religion
might affect her rulings.
She declared she’ll separate
her faith from the law as a justice.
Slated to kick off at 10 a.m.
Wednesday, the justices will hear
the case through teleconference,
which the court has been doing
since May because of the coro-
navirus pandemic. A ruling in
the case is expected by the end
of June when the court usually
wraps up the term.
Catholic Social Services has
been providing foster care for
children in Philadelphia since
1917. The city began partnering
with private foster care agencies
in the 1950s and has been con-
tracting with Catholic Social
Services for decades.
But in 2018, after a newspaper
article was published noting the
organization’s beliefs on sex and
marriage, the city threatened
to terminate its contract with
Catholic Social Services unless
it change its policy.
The group said their minis-
try is based on Catholic Church
teachings and sought an injunc-
tion to prohibit the city from
halting its contract, arguing that
doing so would violate the First
Amendment.
Catholic Social Services also
has noted that it has not been ap-
proached by a same-sex couple
despite the pushback that arose
over its policy.
The federal appeals court
ruled for the city, dismissing
Catholic Social Services claim
that they had been targeted spe-
cifically by city officials based on
religious animus.
The group sought an emer-
gency injunction from the high
court but that was rejected in
August 2018. Justices Clarence
Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and
Neil M. Gorsuch said at the time
that they would have granted the
injunction but were overruled.
The Catholic charity’s appeal
subsequently was granted. The
high court now hears the case
with the bench having two more
President Trump appointees —
Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh and
Justice Barrett.
Catholic Social Services, in its
legal filing, noted that if it is not
able to perform a home study for
unmarried different-sex couples
or same-sex couples, it can refer
them to another adoption agency
in the city that will accommodate
them.
“CSS is asking that it not
be compelled to affirm same-
sex marriages as the price of
continuing a religious ministry.
Just as no LGBT couples are
prevented from marrying be-
cause a particular church does
not perform same-sex weddings,
no LGBT couples are prevented
from fostering because a par-
ticular church cannot provide
an endorsement,” the Catholic
organization argued.
The City of Philadelphia
claims taxpayer funds are used
by private foster care agen-
cies that contract with the city,
and local law bans discrimina-
tion based on race or sexual
orientation.
The case boils down to “the
obligation to give a fair look to
every prospective foster parent
who walks in the door,” the city
argued in court papers. “The
City’s ability to impose con-
ditions on the receipt of City
funds for City services — here,
conditions on who may receive
those public services — is well
established under this Court’s
cases.”
Lawyers for Philadelphia
point to the federal appeals court
relying on a 1990 Supreme Court
ruling in Employment Division
v. Smith, which held an indi-
vidual’s religious beliefs cannot
excuse that person from violat-
ing a generally neutral law that
applies to everyone. The ruling
was authored by the late Justice
Antonin Scalia, for whom Justice
Barrett clerked after graduating
from law school.
Court watchers are paying
close attention to whether the
high court overrules — or limits
— the 1990 case.
Justice Barrett joining the
court makes it likely Catholic
Social Services will succeed, said
Ilya Shapiro, publisher of the
Supreme Court Review at the
libertarian Cato Institute.
“The question is how broadly
the court wants to go,” he said.

ELECTION
From page A1
of victory from four years ago.
The president also was holding nar-
row leads over Mr. Biden in North Caro-
lina and Ohio, with more than 75% of the
vote counted in each state. Mr. Trump
won both states in 2016. No Republican
has ever won the presidency without
winning Ohio.
In the Upper Midwest, the president
was leading Mr. Biden in Michigan and
Wisconsin with about one-third of the
votes counted. The former vice president
campaigned to reestablish the tradition-
ally Democratic “blue wall” of working-
class states that Mr. Trump won four
years ago.
In all the swing states, Mr. Biden took
an early lead as Democratic-leaning mail-
in and early ballots were the first to be
counted. In-person votes Tuesday, which
skewed Republican, were added later.
Businesses boarded up in cities na-
tionwide as merchants and law enforce-
ment officials girded for violent dem-
onstrations, depending on the outcome
of the presidential election. More than
3,600 National Guard troops were acti-
vated across the country in anticipation
of demonstrations and possible violence.
Before sundown, crowds began to
gather at Black Lives Matter Plaza near
the White House, where a newly installed
8-foot-high metal fence surrounded the
complex.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average
surged 554 points, or more than 2%, on
hopes that the election would resolve a
stalemate in Washington over a corona-
virus relief package.
Biden campaign officials said the
result of the presidential race might not
be known for days, pending the counting
of mail-in ballots in key battleground
states such as Pennsylvania and North
Carolina. But Mr. Trump stepped up his
calls for a decisive result sometime late
Tuesday night or early Wednesday.
“We’re going to have tremendous
success,” a hoarse president told staff-
ers during an early-afternoon visit to
his campaign headquarters in Arling-
ton, Virginia. “I think we’re going to
have a great night, and much more
importantly, we’re going to have a great
four years.”
The president, who predicted he
would win more than the 306 electoral
votes he captured in 2016, invited several
hundred guests to an election night party
at the White House. Vice President Mike
Pence conducted 21 last-minute radio
and TV interviews with stations in the
battlegrounds of Pennsylvania, Nevada,
Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and
North Carolina.
Mr. Biden, campaigning on Election
Day in Pennsylvania, met with support-
ers in a Philadelphia neighborhood and
was greeted with calls of “President
Biden.”
The former vice president responded
over a bullhorn, “Philly’s the key. Philly
is the key.”
Mr. Biden said he was encouraged by
early reports of heavy turnout of young
voters, women, seniors and Blacks in
states such as Georgia and Florida.
“I’m superstitious about predicting
what an outcome will be before it hap-
pens. That’s sort of who I am and how
I’ve always run,” Mr. Biden said. “But
I’m hopeful.”
Biden campaign manager Jen
O’Malley Dillon said their projections
heading into Election Day showed Mr.
Biden leading by 8 percentage points
among early voters across what the cam-
paign considers “battleground” states.
Ms. O’Malley Dillon said that over
“GOTV weekend,” the campaign had
more than 4 million “conversations with
voters” and had knocked on 1.3 million
doors, sent more than 32 million texts

who sidelined their attempt to impeach
President Trump, then pushed through
his third Supreme Court nominee just
a week ago.
“Democrats threw everything they
had at him, and he vanquished his op-
ponent in typical fashion,” said Sen.
Todd Young, chairman of the National
Republican Senatorial Committee.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham
won a fourth term in South Carolina, and
Sen. John Cornyn emerged victorious in
Texas — though the fact that Republican
victories in those states were headline-
worthy suggested just how tough the
map was for the party.
In North Carolina, with almost all
votes counted, Republican Sen. Thom
Tillis held a narrow lead over Democrat
Cal Cunningham, whose lead in the
polls evaporated after he admitted to an
extramarital entangle with the wife of a
veteran who has a disability. That was a
serious blemish for Mr. Cunningham, an
officer in the Army Reserve, who now
faces a military investigation.
President Trump said, “You can’t have these things delayed for many days. This country is waiting. The whole world is waiting.”
Democrat Joseph R. Biden said he was encouraged by early reports of heavy turnout of young voters, women, seniors and Blacks.
and logged more than 600,000 volunteer
shifts.
Trump campaign officials said Tues-
day that they were encouraged by heavy
Republican turnout in key states and that
Black voters were not voting in large
numbers on Election Day in traditionally
Democratic areas.
Trump officials also said they hoped
to amass enough of a lead in crucial
swing states by Tuesday night to dis-
pel the Democrats’ argument that the
former vice president would overcome
any deficit by adding mail-in ballots to
be counted later.
“We think we’re going to get enough
votes … that would ultimately result in
us getting enough electoral votes to be
high enough to where none of this [fight
But in Arizona, with most votes in,
Republican Sen. Martha McSally was
trailing Mark Kelly, who was running
his first race although he is no stranger
to politics. He is married to former Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords, who after surviving
an gunman’s attack on her outdoor town
hall gathering in 2011 became a promi-
nent gun control advocate.
Should that result hold, Ms. McSally
will have lost Senate races in 2018 and
2020.
Key races in Georgia, Maine, Iowa,
Montana and Alaska, which were ex-
pected to decide control of the chamber,
were too close to call as of press time.
Analysts said it’s possible final tallies
of control of the Senate won’t be known
until next year, if two Georgia races both
go to January runoffs with no one claim-
ing a majority on Tuesday.
Republicans went into the night hold-
ing 53 seats, but most election prognos-
ticators were betting on Democrats to
emerge with at least 50 seats. Even Mr.
McConnell said Republicans’ chances
were only 50-50 to maintain control.
“We have a lot of exposure,” he said
last week on the campaign trail.
Indeed, of the 35 seats up on Tuesday,

over mail-in ballots] is going to matter,”
Trump campaign senior adviser Jason
Miller said.
Biden campaign adviser Bob Bauer
predicted that last-minute legal activity
in states like Pennsylvania to challenge
the counting of ballots would be fruitless.
“They will be unsuccessful. I’ve read
these lawsuits,” he said. “The attempt
of these lawyers to come in [at] the
eleventh hour with specious claims and
hope to hook the courts on them I think
is doomed to failure.”
Mr. Biden, on a visit to his boyhood
home in Scranton, said, “The president’s
not going to steal this election.”
Mr. Trump again criticized the Su-
preme Court for allowing Pennsylvania
elections officials to count mail-in ballots
23 were held by Republicans.
That map was partly a vestige of their
successes six years ago, when they cap-
tured Democratic-held seats in Alaska,
Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana,
Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota
and West Virginia.
Five of those seats were in play this
year.
Democrats fielded a particularly
strong crop of candidates this year, in-
cluding two former governors and presi-
dential candidates who ran in Montana
and Colorado, the state House speaker
in Maine, a dynamic former state party
chairman in South Carolina, and an as-
tronaut in Arizona.
The Democratic candidates also en-
joyed a massive cash advantage. In a
list of 12 competitive Republican-held
seats, the Democrat raised more than
the incumbent in 10 of them.
Republicans, meanwhile, had their
biggest advantage — a roaring economy
— disappear earlier this year when the
COVID-19 pandemic hit.
As the death toll mounted, suddenly
races from Alaska to Maine were in play,
leaving Republican freshmen as well as
longtime incumbents in danger.

they receive up to three days after Elec-
tion Day. He called it an “unfortunate”
ruling that could leave the nation without
a result and on edge.
“You can’t have these things delayed
for many days,” Mr. Trump said. “This
country is waiting. The whole world is
waiting. We should be entitled to know
who won on Nov. 3.”
The president warned that de-
lays in counting votes could lead to
“shenanigans.”
Kathy Boockvar, Pennsylvania’s secre-
tary of the commonwealth, said the state
already had exceeded 2.4 million mail-in
ballots — about 10 times the number four
years ago. She and other state officials
have been warning the public that it
could take days to get to a final count.
In Colorado, most analysts said Mr.
Gardner, a freshman, was a goner the mo-
ment Mr. Hickenlooper, a former governor,
entered the race — a decision he made
after ending his ill-fated run at the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
“Being a ‘yes man’ for Donald Trump
and Mitch McConnell sealed Cory Gard-
ner’s fate long ago and tonight Colorado
voters made it official,” said J.B. Poersch,
president of the Senate Majority Political
Action Committee, a Democratic cam-
paign outfit.
The other side of that coin was Ala-
bama, where Mr. Jones, a Democrat, won a
special election in 2017 and then proceeded
to post a fairly liberal voting record in a
red state.
When Mr. Jones voted against Supreme
Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh and
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, analysts said
he had little chance of keeping that seat
for Democrats.
His Republican opponent, Tommy
Tuberville, despite being a political new-
comer, has massive name recognition in
the state as the former football coach at
Auburn University.
The Supreme Court battles may have
helped Mr. Graham win.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2020
In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
County Commissioner Ray D’Agostino,
a Republican, said mail-in ballots will be
“set aside” after Election Day instead of
being counted. He said officials in the
heavily Republican county would await
“a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court
or some other direction.”
His announcement drew complaints
that he was disregarding the Supreme
Court ruling.
In Philadelphia, at least one man
representing the Trump campaign as a
poll watcher was denied entry by poll
workers, who said the man wasn’t au-
thorized to monitor their specific polling
place. It wasn’t clear whether the dispute
was resolved.
In hotly contested Michigan, robocalls
were wrongly encouraging residents to
vote Wednesday because of long lines,
said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
state Attorney General Dana Nessel, a
Democrat, said the robocalls were made
in “an effort to suppress the vote.”
There were scattered reports of
voting machine problems Tuesday in
locations including Spalding County
in Georgia and Rochester, New York.
Department of Homeland Security of-
ficials said they were monitoring the
situations and urged the public to be
wary and patient. They said there were
no indications of foreign interference.
Heading into Election Day, a record
100 million people nationwide had al-
ready voted as states expanded vot-
ing options to address concerns about
COVID-19.
The president entered his reelection
year riding a manufacturing revival and
record-low unemployment through tax
cuts and deregulation. He also rewrote
trade deals to encourage manufacturing
jobs to move back to the U.S. and wielded
tariffs to protect U.S. workers and busi-
nesses from what he called unfair foreign
competition, especially from China.
But all of that economic progress was
thrown into turmoil in March when the
pandemic forced widespread business
shutdowns and restrictions on social-
izing. The health care crisis, which has
claimed more than 230,000 lives and the
loss of more than 20 million jobs during
spring lockdowns, greatly complicated
Mr. Trump’s reelection bid.
Still, the president on Tuesday pointed
to the huge turnout at his campaign ral-
lies in the final weeks of the race and
what he called “tremendous love” for his
movement. He expressed hope that his
reelection would “bring unity.”
“I think success brings us together,”
Mr. Trump said. “Everybody should
come together. There’s a tremendous
love going on in this country and really
a tremendous unity.”
His tone was a far cry from his final
campaign rally in Michigan after mid-
night Monday, when he told supporters
that Mr. Biden and former President
Barack Obama had committed “treason”
by authorizing the government to spy on
his campaign in 2016.
“Every corrupt force in American
life that betrayed you and hurt you is
supporting Joe Biden,” Mr. Trump told
the crowd.
He called Mr. Biden’s candidacy “a
fluke” and expressed incredulity that
their race was even close.
Mr. Biden said the president is “em-
barrassing Republicans.”
“Republicans are walking away from
him,” the Democrat said.
Mr. Biden scored one of the first vic-
tories on Election Day by winning unani-
mously, 5-0, in tiny Dixville Notch, New
Hampshire. The township has created a
name for itself as the first-in-the-nation
to vote, all its residents casting ballots
shortly after midnight as a quirky state
law allows.
But Mr. Trump trumped the Demo-
crat’s victory in nearby Millsfield, win-
ning 16-5.
He was facing his toughest political
challenge from Jaime Harrison, a for-
mer Democratic Party chairman in South
Carolina.
But as chairman of the Judiciary Com-
mittee Mr. Graham shepherded Justice
Barrett through his panel last month, earn-
ing massive airtime and headlines that
analysts say helped him consolidate the
Republican vote in his state.
Supreme Court fights worked against
Republicans in Maine, however.
Sen. Susan M. Collins, seeking her fifth
term, saw her popularity plummet after
she defended Justice Kavanaugh in 2018,
opening the door to a challenge by state
House Speaker Sara Gideon.
That race was too close to call Tues-
day night.
Mr. Trump created other headwinds
for Republican candidates, putting states
such as Texas and Georgia in play for
the White House, which spurred mas-
sive turnout among Democrats eager to
send a message.
Even deeper red states like Kansas
had normally solid Republican seats turn
into dogfights.
Republican Roger Marshall was nar-
rowly leading that race Tuesday night.

HIGHER EDUCATION
Colleges dropping
ACT, SAT scores
for requirements
BY CHRISTOPHER VONDRACEK
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The COVID-19 pandemic is
claiming another victim in higher
education: standardized testing.
The number of colleges drop-
ping ACT or SAT scores from
admissions requirements has bal-
looned over the fall, with schools
citing the tests’ impracticality
amid many high school juniors
and seniors learning virtually and
last spring’s testing shutdowns.
“Our top priority is the health
and safety of students, includ-
ing our future students,” Bradley
Barnes, vice provost of enroll-
ment management at the Univer-
sity of Alabama at Birmingham
said last month, announcing the
school along with the University
of Alabama will not require stan-
dardized test scores as part of the
2021 admissions process.
Nationally, 67 colleges and
universities have announced at
least a one-year, test-blind policy
due to the pandemic.
Some larger schools, including
Gonzaga University in Spokane,
Washington, and the University
of Illinois at Chicago, have an-
nounced that they would not
require but would consider the
exams in the next admissions
cycle, after the coronavirus shut-
tered schools and testing centers.
“We know it will be difficult for
many of our potential applicants
to have completed their exams by
our application deadlines so we’re
adjusting our review process to
accommodate all students,” Kevin
Browne, vice provost for academic
and enrollment services at the Uni-
versity of Illinois at Chicago, an-
nounced in June.
As of Tuesday, more than 1,650
colleges are making standardized
tests optional next year, accord-
ing to the National Center for Fair
and Open Testing.
Some observers say schools
should permanently adopt the
changes.
A California appeals court
ruled last week that the state’s
universities could not use test
scores for students’ applications
this coming fall, upholding a
lower court decision. A lawsuit
filed last year by low-income and
students of color called the test
requirements discriminatory.
“Which UC campuses will
ultimately be test-free or test-
optional for fall 2021 is being
determined at the local level,”
Claire Doan, spokeswoman for
the University of California Sys-
tem, said in an email.
In May, the system’s regents
voted to phase out tests by the
fall of 2025.
Catherine Hofmann, vice
president of state and federal
programs at ACT Inc., rejected
the idea that removing tests paves
the way for equity, citing the tests
as game-changers for low-income
and rural students.
“I feel no more than never the
ACT is the thing it was yesterday:
the lighthouse in the storm,” said
Ms. Hofmann, citing the remote
learning scenarios that have
upended high school education
across the country.
She said that after testing in
the spring, the company had
tested more than 700,000 stu-
dents this fall.
Many school admissions
counselors will find substitutes
for scores on the ACT or SAT.
At the University of Alabama
and the University of Alabama
at Birmingham, admissions of-
ficials will review an applicant’s
high school GPA and “quality of
curriculum” for admission.
For students attending Cath-
olic University of America in
Washington, D.C., this will be
the first year tests are “not con-
sidered.” After the school made
ACT/SAT optional in 2016, find-
ing that the tests were less mean-
ingful than students’ grades and
curriculum at determining their
success in college, 40% of stu-
dents weren’t sending them in for
the private school’s consideration
in the last cycle.
But Christopher Lydon, vice
president for enrollment manage-
ment and marketing at Catholic
University, says he is concerned
about other ways COVID-19
has affected students, includ-
ing thwarting out-of-state visits
from families who live far from
Washington.
“Broad interest [this year] is
comparable [to previous years],
but submitted applications are a
bit sluggish,” Mr. Lydon said.
More than half of counselors say
COVID-19 will have a “substantial”
or “profound impact” on recruiting
students next fall, according to a
survey by the Association for Col-
lege Admission Counseling.
At least one state is keeping
the ACT/SAT requirements for
admission next fall: Florida. The
state’s university board of gover-
nors has not buckled under public
pressure and has refused to drop
the requirement.
“At this time, we have been
informed by The College Board
and ACT Inc. that a significant
number of seats are still available
in Florida for the national test
dates,” Renee Fargason, spokes-
woman for the Florida Board of
Governors, told The Washington
Times.

Virus-driven rules strain families COVID-19. While young children

New day care guidelines not compatible for germy children
BY SALLY HO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE | Joelle Wheatley hit
her pandemic-parenting rock bot-
tom after her son was sent home
from day care for a second time,
with the sniffles, due to stricter
health guidelines in a symptom-
sensitive COVID-19 world.
It was supposed to be Jacob’s
first day back after a stressful
10-day home quarantine for an-
other mild symptom that turned
out to be harmless. Frustrated,
desperate — there were no other
care options, and she needed to
focus on work — and certain
that the 2-year-old’s runny nose
and cough were also benign, the
Seattle mom defied the day care’s
orders and brought him back the
next day anyway.
“I was just so sure he had a
cold, and that sounds so irre-
sponsible,” said Ms. Wheatley, 43,
who works at an early education
nonprofit. “But I honestly was just
in such a low place.”
As more families make the
jump back to group day care
this fall in an attempt to restart
lives and careers, many parents,
pediatricians and care operators
are finding that new, pandemic-
driven rules offer a much-needed
layer of safety but also seem in-
compatible with the germy real-
ity of childhood.
They stem largely from coro-
navirus guidelines issued by the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention lowering the fever
threshold, disqualifying even a
single bout of diarrhea or vomit-
ing and making sniffles suspect
in group settings.
But the guidelines don’t take
into account that young children
are prone to catching the com-
mon viral infections that help
build up their immune systems,
or that seasonal allergies, cry-
ing, even teething and normal
playground exertion can prompt
a COVID-19-like symptom.
And the price parents and
kids pay for such symptoms —
which could easily signal either
a happy, healthy toddler, or a
lurking case of the disease that
has now killed more than 230,000
people in the U.S. — is now a
dayslong disruption.
That’s a reality Ms. Wheatley
knows all too well: Jacob was
turned away again on Day 2 and
she then had to scramble to get
him a coronavirus test and an
appointment with a doctor who
wrote a note confirming the boy
was virus-free. It took two days to
get Jacob back to preschool, caus-
ing her anxiety about his health
and guilt over neglecting work.
Medical experts acknowledge
the lines are blurry for kids with
symptoms.
The CDC notes on its website
that young children commonly
have up to eight respiratory

illnesses or colds each year as a
matter of course. In its guidelines
for K-12 schools, the CDC warns
that excluding children for lon-
ger than “existing” policies over
COVID-19 symptoms alone could
cause unnecessary absences.
The American Academy of
Pediatrics’ latest child care guide-
lines released in October initially

nose, vomiting or diarrhea on its
symptoms checklist. Following
questions from The Associated
Press, the pediatricians’ group
updated its recommendations on
Friday to include those symptoms
in alignment with the CDC, call-
ing it an oversight.
Dr. Elaine Donoghue, who
helped write the pediatricians’
child care guidelines, said any
are prone to minor infections,
they now in theory face less ex-
posure to those milder illnesses
due to pandemic-related social
distancing, and that means the
calculus behind assessing symp-
toms changes.
“We should not be expecting
certainty during a pandemic,”
Dr. Donoghue said. “This is an
uncertain time.”
Considered essential in many
states, day cares are one of the
few services that have remained
open through the pandemic that’s
now stretched nine months and
counting in the U.S. Numerous
programs have permanently
closed, though there are signs
families are trickling back to
preschool.
According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, the number of
people working in child care
has recovered steadily in recent
months.
But while the 853,000 workers
reported in September marks
a 28% jump from April, it’s still
below the more than 1 million in
the field a year ago.

Bulger’s family:
Prison didn’t protect him
BRUCETON MILLS | Fam-

boss James “Whitey” Bulger Jr.
have filed a lawsuit against the
Federal Bureau of Prisons and
30 unnamed employees of the
prison system for failing to pro-
tect Bulger, who was beaten to
death at a West Virginia prison.
The family filed the lawsuit
against the prison system last
week, two years after Bulger,
89, was killed at United States
Penitentiary, Hazelton, a federal
prison in West Virginia’s Pres-
ton County.
Bulger died the same day
that he was transferred there
from another prison.
The lawsuit said the prison
system failed to protect Bulger
by moving him to Hazelton, a
prison with constant inmate
violence.
The family also alleges the
prison system was aware that
Bulger was labeled a “snitch,”
and that he was perhaps the
most well-known inmate to be
incarcerated since Al Capone,
but yet did not do enough
to shield him from the other
inmates.

Tuesday afternoon that there was
no indication of a second attacker
— adding to tension in the capital
as residents were urged to stay
home.
Two men and two women died
from their injuries in the attack
— including one German woman,
according to Germany’s foreign
minister. Authorities said a police
officer who tried to get in the way of
the attacker was shot and wounded,
along with 21 other people.
The suspect was identified
as a 20-year-old Austrian-North
Macedonian dual citizen with a
previous terror conviction for at-
tempting to join the Islamic State
group in Syria. Police searched 18
properties as well as the suspect’s
apartment, detaining 14 people as-
sociated with the assailant who are
being questioned, Interior Minister
Karl Nehammer said.
“Yesterday’s attack was
clearly an Islamist terror attack,”
from Thursday, although schools
and universities will stay open.

“The incumbent president, who is supposed to hold the elections, says this is the most-rigged U.S. election
throughout history. … His opponent says Trump intends to widely cheat. This is American democracy.”

51st anniversary of the 1979 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis and vowing that Tehran’s policies will not change no matter who wins
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said.
“It was an attack out of hatred —
hatred for our fundamental values,
hatred for our way of life, hatred for
our democracy in which all people
have equal rights and dignity.”
The attacker, identified as Kuj-
tim Fejzulai, was armed with a fake
explosive vest, an automatic rifle, a
handgun and a machete, according
to Mr. Nehammer. Before the attack
he posted a photograph on a social
media account showing him posing
with the rifle and machete.
Fejzulai was sentenced to 22
months in prison in April 2019
but was granted early release in
December.
“The fact is that the terrorist
managed to deceive the judicial
system’s deradicalization program”
to secure his release, Mr. Neham-
mer said, adding that the system
should be reevaluated. He also said
that an attempt to strip Fejzulai of
his Austrian citizenship had failed

Taiwan: U.S. promised
arms to boost defense
Island looks to defend itself from China
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAIPEI, TAIWAN | Taiwan said
Tuesday that the Trump admin-
istration’s offer to sell U.S. mis-
siles and other arms systems
will boost the island’s ability to
credibly defend itself amid rising
threats from China.
The comments from Defense
Ministry spokesperson Shih
Shun-wen came a day after China
said it would exact unspecified
retaliation against companies that
make the weapons systems, in-
cluding Lockheed Martin Corp.,
Raytheon Technologies Corp.
and Boeing Co.’s defense division,
the lead contractor on a $2.37
billion sale of Harpoon missile
systems to Taiwan.
Facing a potential Chinese foe
with overwhelming superiority
in missiles, soldiers, ships and
planes, Taiwan has struggled to
assure its own people and U.S.
military officials that it is capable
of and willing to contribute to
its own defense. The sides split
during a civil war in 1949 and
China considers Taiwan its own
territory, to be brought under its
control by force if necessary.
“The purchase of these weap-
ons will enhance Taiwan’s cred-
ible combat capabilities and asym-
metric combat capabilities,” Mr.
Shih told reporters at a briefing,

Some of the circumstances of
the Vienna shooting are reminis-
cent of the case of Usman Khan,
who stabbed two people to death
in 2019 in central London. Khan
had been sentenced to 16 years in
prison after being convicted for his
role in a plot to bomb the London
Stock Exchange. He was released in
December 2018 after serving half
his sentence, as are most prisoners
in Britain.
Austrian authorities worked
well into Tuesday to determine
whether there were any other
Helmholtz Centre for Infection
Research, said no individual
public health measure can slow
the spread of the virus, but that
together they are effective.
She likened actions such as
social distancing, mask use, hand-
washing and widening the use
of antigen tests to slices of Swiss
cheese, which individually have
holes but together form a solid
block.
“The Swiss cheese model
says that every slice of cheese
has holes, imperfections,” Ms.
Brinkmann said. The measures
“are all new slices of the cheese
that all have their imperfections,
but if we stack them all together
with one another, we can better
protect ourselves from this virus.”
In neighboring Austria, new
restrictions that took effect Tues-
day allow restaurants and bars
to operate only for deliveries
and takeout until the end of the
stronger foe with precision weap-
ons and advanced tactics. “This will
also enhance our overall combat
capabilities to contribute to main-
taining peace and stability across
the Taiwan Strait.”
In Beijing, Foreign Ministry
spokesperson Wang Wenbin on
Tuesday again accused the U.S.
of violating its commitments to
China while bolstering the confi-
dence of those such as the ruling
Democratic Progressive Party
of President Tsai Ing-wen who
favor the island’s independence
from China.
The Trump administration
should “revoke the arms sale plan
to Taiwan so as to avoid further
damage to China-U.S. relations
and peace and stability across
the Taiwan Strait,” Mr. Wang told
reporters. “China will take legiti-
mate and necessary measures to
resolutely defend national sov-
ereignty and security interests.”
The U.S. administration on
Monday notified Congress of
plans for the sale of the Harpoon

ble of striking ships and land tar-

and port and industrial facilities.

officers on duty in the city. Peo-
ple in Vienna were urged to stay
at home if possible on Tuesday,
and children did not have to go
to school.
By mid-afternoon, investiga-
tors sifting through copious video
evidence had found “no indica-
tion of a second perpetrator,” Mr.
Nehammer said. “But because the
evaluation is not yet concluded, we
cannot yet say conclusively how
many perpetrators are responsible
for the crime.”
For the time being, an elevated
security level will remain in place in
Vienna, he said. The country held a
minute of silence at midday Tuesday,
accompanied by the tolling of bells
in the capital, and the government
ordered three days of official mourn-
ing, with flags on public buildings to
be flown at half-staff.
The shooting began shortly
after 8 p.m. Monday near Vienna’s
main synagogue as many people
were enjoying a last night of open
restaurants and bars before a
monthlong coronavirus lockdown,
which started at midnight.
The attack drew swift condem-
nation and assurances of support
from leaders around Europe, in-
cluding from President Trump
and French President Emmanuel
Macron, whose country has ex-
perienced three terror attacks in
recent weeks.

and leisure activities have been
canceled.
Greece locked down its sec-
ond-largest city, Thessaloniki,
and the neighboring northern
province of Serres beginning
Tuesday. Residents can only
leave home for specific reasons
after notifying authorities by text
message.
In France, high school stu-
dents blocked entrances to about
a dozen schools in Paris to protest
a month-long lockdown. At one
Paris school, police fired tear gas
to disperse a rowdy crowd, and
some 40 students were fined for
breaking confinement rules, Le
Parisien newspaper reported.
Paris schools remain open, but
students said virus control mea-
sures weren’t being respected.
They shared images on social
networks of overcrowded class-
rooms and common areas.
That followed another pro-
posed sale announced Oct. 21 of
$1.8 billion worth of weaponry,
including missile and rocket sys-
tems, and upgraded equipment
for Taiwan’s F-16 jet fighters.
Taiwan has long been an ir-
ritant in U.S.-China relations.
Washington has no formal rela-
tions with the island’s democrati-
cally elected government but is
its main ally. U.S. law requires
the government to ensure Taiwan
can defend itself. In recent years,
weapons sales to the island have
increased in quantity and qual-
ity, as China builds the world’s
second most powerful military
dedicated in large part to defeat-
ing Taiwan and achieving its goal
of annexation.
Stepped-up patrols by Chinese
warplanes this year have put Tai-
wan’s forces under greater strain,
increasing the importance of de-
veloping new weapons systems
or buying them from abroad.
Beijing regularly pressures
American companies such as
Boeing in an effort to influence
U.S. policy. China is one of Boe-
ing’s biggest markets for commer-
cial aircraft, which might make
it vulnerable to a boycott, but
China’s Defense Ministry men-
tioned only Boeing’s military arm,
Boeing Defense, not its civilian
jetliner business.
China’s just-adopted five-year
economic plan also talks tough on
the Taiwanese question, saying
Beijing preferred the peaceful
reunification of Taiwan, which
it considers a renegade prov-
ince, but called for a speeded-up
process to resolve the issue in
the face of the pressure from
Taiwanese “secessionists.”

Trump wins reelection.
In New York, businesses along Fifth
Avenue, including stores near Trump
Tower, were boarded up and police spent
the day patrolling polling stations.
Terence Monahan, chief of depart-
ment for the New York Police Depart-
ment, told reporters Tuesday afternoon
that no threats had been reported and
none was expected.
There were some election troubles at
polling places. In Georgia, Fulton County
election officials had a pipe burst in a
room with ballots, which could slow the
speed of the count in the swing state. In
Iowa, hand sanitizer caused an election
scanner to break. The scanner, in Des
Moines, was fixed within an hour.
Police in North Carolina arrested
an armed man loitering at a polling
site and charged him with trespassing.
Justin Dunn, 36, was legally carrying
the firearm but stayed at the Charlotte
site after voting, prompting officials to
call the police.
More than 3,600 National Guard
troops have been activated across the
country in anticipation of demonstra-
tions and possible violence on election
night. Roughly 16 states placed Guard
troops on standby to assist in an array
of operations including guiding traffic,
helping polling stations and provid-
ing cybersecurity support as well as
being on the ready in the event of mass
demonstrations.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat,
deployed state Guard troops to Chicago
in anticipation of civil unrest after the
election, and Massachusetts activated
1,000 Guard troops for Election Day.
Other states that have Guard troops
at the ready include Alabama, Arizona,
Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois,
Kentucky, New Jersey, Oregon, Penn-
sylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Although states have the power to
activate the National Guard to assist
in domestic activity, most recently for
weather emergencies and to aid in states’
handling of the COVID-19 pandemic,
active-duty troops are prohibited from
partaking in domestic law and order.
Perhaps the biggest threat was a wave
of suspicious robocalls telling voters in
battleground states to “stay home” or
vote on the wrong day.
In Michigan, the robocalls encour-
aged residents to vote Wednesday be-
cause of long lines, according to Secre-
tary of State Jocelyn Benson.
“We received reports that an un-
known party is purposefully spreading
misinformation via robocalls in Flint in
an attempt to confuse voters there, and I
want to ensure everyone plans to vote in

be in line to do so — by 8 p.m. today,” Ms.

Campaigns have had to adjust.
In the new reality, campaigns have to
dip into war chests earlier, move faster
on opposition research and rally and
re-rally voters for months.
Holding political fire for a last-minute
attack or hoping for a surprise accom-
plishment to swing voters, once con-
ventional wisdom, is now a risk-filled
strategy.
“First of all, there will no longer be an
‘October surprise.’ It will be a ‘Septem-
ber surprise,’ ” said Chris LaCivita, who
spearheaded a pro-Trump super PAC,
Preserve America, that poured tens of
millions of dollars into the effort to defeat
Democrat Joseph R. Biden.
“The bottom line is everything is just
going to start earlier — the mailings,
the rallies, the events, the door-to-door
canvassing, the TV ads, the online ads,”
he said.
Virginia’s legislature, with a newly
minted Democratic majority, adjusted
its voting laws before the COVID-19
pandemic took hold.
But across the country, the pandemic
sent those kinds of efforts into overdrive.
States scrambled to adopt all-mail elec-
tions, expand timetables for in-person
voting, and rewrite rules on witnesses
and signatures.
Before the first polls opened Tuesday,
more than 100 million people nationwide
had already cast ballots: nearly 36 mil-
lion in person and 64 million by mail,
according to a tally from the U.S. Elec-
tions Project at the University of Florida.
In Texas and Hawaii, the number of
early voters topped the entire turnout
for 2016.
Florida, Georgia and other states were
nearing that mark.
Michael McDonald, who runs the
Elections Project, predicted that 150
million ballots could be cast this year.
That would be roughly 65% of eligible
voters and would be the highest turnout
since 1908 — the year William Howard
Taft was elected president.
“This is a sea change that will be
impossible to turn back in future years,”
said Darrell M. West, vice president and
director of governance studies at the
People gather in Black Lives Matter Plaza near White House in Washington on
Tuesday. The National Park Service constructed special fencing to prevent climbing
around the White House on Monday night. It also restricted access to parks nearby.
Benson, a Democrat, said in a statement.
Michigan Attorney General Dana
Nessel also weighed in, calling the ro-
bocalls “an effort to suppress the vote.”
Michigan was one of the most hotly
contested states in the country, and win-
ning it could assure victory for President
Trump or former Vice President Joseph
R. Biden. But it is not the only state
where robocalls popped up. Election
officials in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa
said residents there also received calls.
Nebraska Secretary of State Robert
Evnen tweeted that residents in his state
received calls telling voters to “stay home
and stay safe.”
“Our polling places across the state
are open,” Mr. Evnen, a Republican,
tweeted. “Our voters and our poll work-
ers will be kept safe.”
Kansas Secretary of State Scott
Schwab, also a Republican, warned of
robocalls.
“We are receiving reports of robocalls
telling voters to stay home,” he tweeted.
“Disregard these calls.”
A spokesman for Iowa Secretary of
State Paul Pate said his office reported
the calls to the FBI.
In a statement, the FBI said it was
aware of the robocalls but declined to
comment further.
“As a reminder, the FBI encourages
the American public to verify an election
and voting information they may receive
through their local election officials,” the
statement said.
The origins of the calls were unclear.
The “stay home” robocalls first ap-
peared this summer but disappeared
before ramping back up in late October,
according to media reports.
Hard to stop
Anne Morrison, president of CMIT
Solutions, has spoken about how to stop
robocalls. She said such calls are difficult
to trace and will challenge federal law
enforcement agencies to uncover their
origins.
She also said it is relatively inexpen-
sive to set up robocalls, which is why
the number of such calls grew in recent
years.
“It’s pretty cheap to do this,” Ms.
Morrison said. “That’s why nonelection
Brookings Institution. “People like the
convenience of mail and early voting and
will want to see it continue.”
Not everyone welcomes the change.
President Trump predicted massive
fraud with the level of voting by mail.
His campaign team waged legal bat-
tles against states that sought more time
to count and collect ballots. They lost
most of those fights, though another
round of lawsuits could emerge as ballots
begin to be counted.
Election experts say the chance of
fraud swinging the presidential election
are slim to nonexistent but looser voting
rules could change results in smaller
elections.
Prosecutors in Texas this summer
brought charges against a city commis-
sioner who they say used mail-in ballots
to steal a primary in 2018.
Watching for that kind of mischief
will now be an election-season occupa-
tion rather than a one-day obsession.
“Whereas coronavirus sped up the
acceleration of mass voting by mail, that
is also going to speed up the process to
guard the integrity of the ballot system,”
Mr. LaCivita said.
He said he expects Republican-con-
trolled state legislatures to revisit voter
ID requirements, signature-matching re-
quirements and other fraud-prevention
measures.
Democrats, meanwhile, will likely
try to expand ballot collection, in which
a third party takes mail-in ballots from
voters and submits on their behalf.
Critics, who call the process “ballot
harvesting,” say the practice is shady and
ripe for tampering.
Mr. Martin said well-organized cam-
paigns will have opportunities to be
more thorough.
“The process now is not a one-day
process anymore. It is a six-week pro-
cess,” he said. “In a sense, it gives you
more time to turn your voters out. If
you’ve planned for it. It has become a
more thoughtful process.”
It also means settling on a winning
campaign message earlier.
“Once people start voting, then the
number of voters you can affect dimin-
ishes from that point and doesn’t stop,”
Mr. Martin said.

calling is so popular, because it is cheap.
You can program phones and get mailing
lists from all over.”
Last month, conservative operatives
Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman were
charged in Michigan with a robocall
scheme allegedly attempting to illegally
suppress voters of color. The pair were
indicted again last week in Ohio, accused
of operating a similar scheme.
Democrats accused Mr. Trump and
his Republican allies of trying to sup-
press the vote to win.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, a Demo-
crat and staunch Trump critic, issued
a statement on Election Day touting
her state’s electoral system, saying it is
99.9% secure.
The comment was issued to push back
against allegations that mail-in ballots in-
crease the frequency of fraud, an argument
Mr. Trump and his party had been making
for months, petitioning courts to limit the
days for counting mail-in votes, hoping to
keep the deadline close to Nov. 3.
But the Oregon governor rejected the
suggestion of fraud, saying the real issue
is voter suppression.
She said other states resemble “the
Jim Crow South,” where state officials
have moved to make it more difficult
for citizens to vote during the pandemic,
refusing to permit universal mail-in vot-
ing for registered voters.
“We’re seeing in real time as some
states take away polling locations and
ask voters to risk their health and safety
to stand in long lines to cast their ballot,”
she said.
Former President Barack Obama’s at-
torney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., echoed
Ms. Brown’s concerns. He said the only
way Republicans will win is if they cheat.
“They’re trying to cheat at any num-
ber of levels,” Mr. Holder told SiriusXM’s
“The Joe Madison Show.”
“I mean, by decreasing the number of
polling places, by making it more difficult
to vote, and then they’re going to get into
court and they have been in court to try
to come up with ways in which they
can take away the ability of people to
actually influence the direction of the
country,” he said.

according to AP VoteCast, a national
survey of the electorate.
Voters were especially likely to call
the public health crisis, which is surg-
ing again, the nation’s most important
issue, with the economy following close
behind. Fewer named health care, rac-
ism, law enforcement, immigration or
climate change.
After eight months and more than
232,000 deaths, the candidates faced a
dissatisfied electorate. Many voters said
they have been personally affected by the
virus. Roughly 6 in 10 said the country is
going in the wrong direction.
The survey found that Mr. Trump’s
leadership loomed large in voters’ deci-
sion-making. Nearly two-thirds of voters
said their vote was about the president
— either for him or against him.
Here’s a snapshot of who voted and
what matters to them, based on pre-
liminary results from AP VoteCast, a
nationwide survey of more than 127,000
voters and nonvoters conducted for The
Associated Press by NORC at the Uni-
versity of Chicago.
Facing the pandemic
About 40% of voters said the coro-
navirus pandemic is the top issue facing
the nation. Roughly 3 in 10 called the
economy and jobs most important. Mr.
Trump, who has downplayed the virus,
sought to focus his campaign on the pre-
pandemic economy, while Mr. Biden has
said the economy won’t improve unless
the virus is controlled.
Voters were more likely to think the
government should prioritize limiting
the spread of the coronavirus — even if
it damages the economy — than to say
the economy should be the top priority.
Roughly half of voters said the coro-
navirus situation in the U.S. is not at all
under control. About 6 in 10 voters said
the economy is in poor shape, while
about 4 in 10 said economic conditions
are excellent or good.
The pandemic’s personal impact
From lost jobs and income to missed

servative publications, including National

milestones, voters felt the impact of the
pandemic personally as the coronavirus
swept the country.
An overwhelming majority of vot-
ers said the coronavirus pandemic has
affected them personally. About 4 in 10
said their household lost a job or income.
Roughly half said they missed out on a
major event, and about 2 in 10 said that
a close friend or family member died
from the virus.
Voters see their financial situations as
holding steady despite the fragile econ-
omy. About 7 in 10 said their personal
finances are stable; roughly 2 in 10 said
they are falling behind. Just about 1 in 10
said they are getting ahead financially.
Voting
Voters did not stay on the sidelines,
with experts predicting total votes will
exceed the 139 million cast in 2016. About
101 million people voted before Election
Day.
Roughly three-quarters said they’ve
known all along who they were support-
ing in this election.
Voters were measured in their con-
fidence that the vote count would be
accurate, despite Mr. Trump seeking to
sow doubts about the integrity of the
vote count.
About a quarter of voters said they are
very confident that the votes in the elec-
tion will be counted accurately, while 4
in 10 were somewhat confident. Roughly
3 in 10 said they are not confident in an
accurate vote count.
Racial unrest
After a summer of protests and some-
times violent clashes over racial inequal-
ity in policing, about half of voters call
racism a “very serious” problem in the
U.S. Roughly 3 in 10 say it’s somewhat
serious; about 2 in 10 say it’s not a serious
problem. Similar shares call racism a se-
rious problem in policing in the country.
About one-third of voters said police
in the U.S. are too tough on crime, while
about a quarter said police are not tough
enough. About 4 in 10 think police handle
crime about right.
But compared with the pandemic
and the economy, relatively few voters
— about 1 in 10 — deemed racism or
law enforcement the country’s top issue.
Even fewer, 4%, called law enforcement
most important.

Virginia voters OK redistricting panel in ballot question
D.C. decriminalizes
‘magic’ mushrooms;
Maryland weighs
budget changes
BY EMILY ZANTOW
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Voters in the District, Maryland and
Virginia were asked to decide Tuesday
five major ballot items, from decriminal-
izing “magic” mushrooms to authorizing
sports gambling.
In Virginia, voters approved constitu-
tional amendments on redistricting and
property tax exemptions for wounded
veterans.
Virginians were asked if congressio-
nal and state legislative districts should
be drawn by a newly created redistricting
commission made up of state lawmakers
and residents.
With 2,377 of 2,585 precincts report-
ing, 1,405,169 voted for the measure
(66%) and 724,176 voted against it (34%),
according to unofficial results by the
Virginia Department of Elections.
Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam re-
portedly supports the measure, but other
Democrats have criticized it as a means
to enshrine partisan gerrymandering.
The other amendment asked if vet-
erans who are completely disabled from
service-related injuries should be ex-
empt from property taxes for the motor
vehicle they own and use.
With 2,369 of 2,585 precincts report-
ing, 1,857,037 voted for the measure (86%)
and 290,682 voted against it (14%), ac-
cording to the elections agency.
In the District, residents overwhelm-
ingly approved Initiative 81 (also known
as the Entheogenic Plant and Fungus
Policy Act of 2020). It will serve as a
nonbinding public request to the D.C.
attorney general and U.S. attorney to
end prosecution related to the plants.
Specifically, the “noncommercial plant-
ing, cultivating, purchasing, transporting,
distributing, possessing, and/or” using of
the plants would no longer be illegal or
a criminal offense.
With 144 of 144 precincts reporting,
123,003 voted for the initiative (76%) and
38,245 voted against it (24%), according
to results by the D.C. Board of Elections.
The proposal was created by Melissa
Lavasani, a D.C. government employee
and mother in Ward 6. Miss Lavasani said
she started the Campaign to Decriminal-
ize Nature D.C. after entheogenic plants
helped her battle postpartum depression.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has said
she opposes the proposal because it was

RICHMOND | The half-mile road lead-
ing to a park in Prince Edward County
was packed with cars parked on one side
and a park ranger directing traffic on
the other side. This was a normal 1950s
summer day at what was then the only
state park for Black people in Virginia.
Prince Edward State Park for Ne-
groes, as it was then called, could draw
up to a thousand Black visitors per day
that could rent bathing suits and cabins
overnight.
“It was a place for people to recreate
and be — they didn’t have that opportu-
nity in other places,” recounted Veronica
Flick, Twin Lakes State Park manager.
Prince Edward State Park was adja-
cent to the Goodwin Lake Recreational
Area, where only White patron were al-
lowed. The two areas merged and were
renamed Twin Lakes State Park in 1986,
according to the park’s website.
Twin Lakes is one of 12 new sites

roads Civil Rights in Education Heri-
tage Trail spanning Central and South-
ern Virginia. The trail was established
in 2004 and focuses on the struggle
Blacks, American Indians and women
faced to receive an education in the
commonwealth.
The parks were built by the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC), a program
established by Congress to help men
find work during the Great Depression.
Twin Lakes was added to the trail be-
cause of the education the CCC provided

ANNAPOLIS | Maryland voters who
waited until Election Day voted Tues-
day after more than half of the state’s
eligible voters cast their ballots early,
either by mail or in person.
As the state encouraged voting
before Election Day because of the
coronavirus pandemic, more than 2.2
million people voted early in a state
with about 4.1 million eligible voters.
There were fewer locations to vote
on Election Day than in a normal, non-
pandemic year.
I don’t typically favor those.”
The measure could be overturned by
the D.C. Council or the Congress, which
must approve D.C. laws.
In Maryland, a proposed constitu-
tional amendment on the state budget
and a referendum on sports gambling
were on the ballot.

to Blacks who helped build the park
in the 1930s. The builders were taught
framing and roofing skills, Ms. Flick said.
“In ‘those days,’ education was the
most important and it was denied,” said
Magi Van Eps, tourism coordinator for
Prince Edward County. “If you were not
a white male, you didn’t have access to
an education.”
The impact of being on the trail
brings more attention to Twin Lakes and
its history, Ms. Flick said.
“For us to be a part of this trail, it not
only brings more awareness to what the
history of this park is, and its importance
to so many people,” she said.
The park has added roadside his-
torical markers, explaining the origins of
Prince Edward State Park. One sign on
the grounds of the park tells the story of
Maceo Martin, who sued the state when
he was denied access to Staunton River
State Park. The lawsuit led Virginia to
add the Prince Edward State Park for
Black visitors to follow the “separate but
equal” law at the time.
The trail also has added stops at
Greensville County Training School
in Emporia and Buckingham Training
School in Dillwyn, according to Ms. Van
Eps. The sites were Rosenwald schools,
established by former Sears President
Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Wash-
ington to help Southern Black children
and teenagers receive an education.
The expansion of the trail 16 years
after its establishment was a result of
additional funding. The trail was origi-
nally envisioned to have more than 60
sites, Ms. Van Eps said. Instead, the trail

Unregistered voters could still reg-
ister at the polls on Tuesday. It was the
first time Maryland had same-day voter
registration on the day of the general
election, since a constitutional amend-
ment was approved in 2018.
Democrats outnumber Republicans
2-to-1 in Maryland. In 2016, Republican
President Trump received 34% of the
vote in the state with 10 electoral votes.

The amendment question asked vot-
ers if the General Assembly should be al-
lowed to increase, decrease or add items
to the budget, so long as the changes do
not exceed the governor’s proposal.

ing, 439,776 voted for the amendment

grant from the Virginia Department of
Transportation.
“There were all these other sites that
were still very important, but they were
overlooked at that time just because
there wasn’t enough funding to fund
them all,” Ms. Van Eps said.
After receiving $70,000 in funding
from the Virginia Tobacco Region Re-
vitalization Commission in 2020 the
trail was able to add a dozen more sites.
Virginia’s Crossroads matched the Vir-
ginia Tobacco Region Revitalization
Commission funding.
The L.E. Coleman African-American
Museum in Halifax and the Beneficial
Benevolent Society of the Loving Sisters
and Brothers of Hampden Sydney in
Prince Edward County also were added
to the trail during the expansion.
Bobby Conner helped found James
Solomon Russell-Saint Paul’s College
Museum and Archives, another site on
the trail that displays the history of the
historically Black college that closed in
2013. He said the additions couldn’t have
happened at a better time.
“The expansion of it has come at a
perfect time with everything that’s gone
on this past spring,” Mr. Conner said,
referring to the protests that took place
in Virginia and around the country after
George Floyd’s death in police custody
in Minnesota.
“Anybody that goes along this trail
will learn incredible amounts of history
on what the struggle was from right

noting this year she’s been much more
vocal about urging friends and family

In Baltimore, Malik Salaam said
he voted for Mr. Trump, because the

“He’s a president that has actually

according to preliminary results by the

THE ROANOKE TIMES
ROANOKE, VA. | Calvary Baptist Church
has put its nearly century-old Campbell
Avenue building on the market.
The Rev. Steven Pollard said the
decision is a response to declining mem-
bership and the high cost of maintain-
ing the building. The Roanoke church
was already on this path, but he said
the COVID-19 pandemic put additional
strain on attendance and finances, forc-
ing the sale.
Calvary is not alone in dealing with
declining membership. Gallup found the
percentage of Americans who indicated
they belonged to a church, synagogue
or mosque was averaging 50% in 2018.
That’s a drop of 20 percentage points
since 1999.
The number of adults in the United
States who identify as Christians is also
down. In telephone surveys done in 2018
and 2019, the Pew Research Center found
that 26% of respondents described them-
selves as atheistic, agnostic or “nothing
in particular.” In 2009, that figure stood
at 17%.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic,
about 60 people regularly attended ser-
vices at Calvary Baptist Church, Mr.
Pollard said. Now the church, which has
resumed in-person services, draws about
half that number.
Mr. Pollard, who has served as pastor
since 2015, said the sale is an emotional
issue for many longtime parishioners
who have an attachment to the build-
ing. He said they are still grieving the
upcoming loss.

is facing an unprecedented fiscal crisis,
[and] the last thing we should do is make
it easier to recklessly spend more of your
tax dollars,” according to a press release.
House Speaker Adrienne Jones and
Senate President Bill Ferguson, both
Democrats, said the proposal would
“ensure that a co-equal branch of govern-
ment is truly co-equal.”
Delegate William Wivell, Washington
Democrat, said he believes the amend-
ment will pass, but it could “hurt the
folks” it aims to help.
“[They] end up with all the societal
issues, with the gambling problems, the
financial issues, and then you have to
create programs to assist those folks,”
Mr. Wivell told The Washington Times.
The referendum asked voters whether
they approve authorizing sport and event
betting “for the primary purpose of rais-
ing revenue for education.”
With 411 of 1,991 precincts reporting,
390,920 voted for the referendum (67%)
and 190,428 voted against it (33%), ac-
cording to the elections board.
The measure needs support from at
least 60% of voters to be considered at
the General Assembly’s next legislative
session.
“Folks were married here, their family
funerals were here, baptisms were here,
some of the high points of folks’ lives are
here,” he said.
But, ultimately, the cost of main-
taining the building is prohibitively
expensive.
“It’s just unwise use of God’s money,
really, to go ahead and continue to pour
it in there,” Mr. Pollard said.
The decision to move was put to a
vote. Mr. Pollard said not a single person
voted against the sale.
He emphasized that the church is sell-
ing its building, not closing altogether.
“We’ve kind of wrapped our heads
and our hearts around the fact that the
church is people, it’s us,” he said. “We
want to stay together and we want to
move forward.”
Calvary Baptist Church, founded in
1891, is one of Roanoke’s oldest Baptist
churches. Construction of its current
Campbell Avenue building was com-
pleted in 1925, at a cost of $312,000, ac-
cording to the church’s website.
Calvary Baptist is perhaps best
known for a longtime pastor, the Rev.
Harry Gamble, who was said to have the
“voice of God,” and for its strong music
program.
Its holiday program, the “singing
Christmas tree,” was famous in Roanoke,
running for three decades. Newspaper
stories at the time described the singing
Christmas tree as “a 27-foot-tall steel-
and-wood structure made up of a series
of semicircular platforms” that became
smaller as they rose to the top. The sing-
ers standing on the platforms made up
the branches of a Christmas tree.

espite an overwhelming lack of evidence that pursu-
ing oil and gas development in the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) will provide any signifi-
cant revenue, the Department of the Interior contin-
ues to push forward with plans to drill. Not only will lease sales
generate far less revenue than promised, exploration and devel-
opment in this incredibly hostile and environmentally sensitive
area would expose federal taxpayers to huge liabilities.
In 2017, lawmakers enacted a provision to allow drilling in the
Arctic Refuge claiming that a lease sale would generate nearly $1
billion in federal revenue to partially offset the $1.4 trillion tax cuts.
It was a wasteful giveaway to the oil and gas industry back then
and the situation has only worsened for taxpayers amid a global
pandemic and the current economic recession.
Our new analysis estimates auctions for leases to drill in the
ANWR will generate $14.7–$27.6 million in federal revenue, based
on the average bid price per acre for onshore sales in the ANWR
region over the last five years.
In other words, federal taxpayers can expect an incredibly disap-
pointing outcome of just three percent of the original $910 million
estimate for leasing ANWR acreage to drillers.
Over the last 20 years, comparable lease sales on neighboring
state land received bids from drilling companies for far less than
what Congress has assumed ANWR leases will attract. Oil and
gas companies leased 12 million acres on Alaska’s North Slope, or
seven times the acreage of the entire ANWR Coastal Plain — 1.56
million acres. These leases generated a total of $489 million in bids
— roughly a quarter of projected revenues for the planned ANWR
sales, half of which is shared with Alaska.
A member of the intelligentsia who kept
his head down asked me this question: “What
do you call a man of integrity in the Soviet
Union?” When I shook my head, he dolefully
provided the answer: “An inmate.”
Natan Sharansky was born Anatoly
Borisovich Shcharansky in 1948 in Stalino, a
grimy Ukrainian coal town renamed Donetsk
following the death of the second Soviet dicta-
tor in 1953. He showed enormous aptitude for
mathematics and chess — useful pursuits for
those who did not want to risk being cancelled
(to borrow a contemporary expression) by the
KGB. But he was not such a person.
In his 20s, he became a vocal Zionist (i.e.
a believer in the right of the Jewish people
to self-determination in part of their ancient
homeland), refusenik (a Soviet citizen denied
the right to emigrate) and human rights
activist (not just for Soviet Jews but also for
dispossessed Tartars,
oppressed Pente-
costalists, Armenian
nationalists and
others).

The real crisis grows clearer by the day
Talk of ‘democratizing democracy,’ court packing and scrapping the Electoral College is now rife
By Os Guinness
T
he apoplectic rage that broke
out at the confirmation of
Justice Amy Coney Barrett
was highly revealing, and no
American should miss
the warning sign. It
had little to do with
the new Justice, only a
little more to do with her promoters, and
everything to do with her critics’ views
of the American republic.
Press responses were bad enough,
with talk of America’s “anti-democratic
Constitution” and “the end of democracy.”
The political response was worse. One
Democratic senator: “Originalism is
racist … sexist … homophobic. Original-
ism is just a fancy word for discrimi-
nation.” Terms such as “illegitimate,”
“undemocratic” and “unconstitutional”
were thrown around carelessly, and talk
of “democratizing democracy,” court
packing, scrapping the Electoral Col-
lege are now rife.
Such talk lays bare the real Ameri-

can crisis. Key parts of American
leadership no longer understand or
accept the notion of a covenantal/
constitutional republic. That is where
Americans should focus. The genius of
the ordered freedom of the Republic is
called into question.
Many of the best writers have
focused recently on issues of charac-
ter in leadership, and understandably
so. Character counts in a president,
and it should. As John Adams wrote,
people have “a right, an indisputable,
unalienable indefeasible divine right to
that most dreaded and envied kind of
knowledge — I mean of the characters
and conduct of their leaders.”
For one thing, character is the
bridge between a leader and his follow-
ers, so that followers can trust a leader
even when they are in the dark about
what he or she is doing, and why. For
another thing, character is the final
boundary that can stop a leader cross-
ing a line when the leader’s power is
such, and the stakes are such, that noth-
ing else can stop him or her.
From the greatness of George Wash-
ington’s refusing the crown at New-
burgh, New York, to the paranoia of
Richard Nixon behind the Watergate break-in,
the importance of character is written all over
the history of American presidents. Presidents
Defunding the
justice system
won’t pay off
Enriching how it communicates
with citizens will
By Marc Levin
e don’t yet have a vaccine for
W COVID-19, but there is an antidote for
mistrust and misunderstandings in
the justice system. What if we could
improve the quality of communications between
police officers and others in positions of author-
ity — and those over whom they exercise it?
Progress requires a communications paradigm
that is courteous and reinforces trust, thereby
achieving the desired result through motivation
rather than force. Evidence suggests this will trans-
late into positive outcomes, whether it is greater
cooperation with police or reduced criminal activity.
Communications between those in authority
and those they speak with occur both in the context
of initial and serial encounters. When police come
upon suspects or a probation officer first meets the
person they will be supervising, it is usually a con-
versation between two strangers. This is the focus of
Malcolm Gladwell’s new book “Talking to Strangers.”
The book was inspired by the tragic case of
Sandra Bland, a Black woman arrested after being
pulled over for a broken taillight; she later commit-
ted suicide while in jail. Mr. Gladwell unpacks the
interaction that was caught on video, demonstrating
how the tone and substance of the officer’s words es-
calated the situation unnecessarily. This led to Bland
becoming agitated and being arrested.
This interaction shows officers must have the
disposition and training to communicate in a way
that does not turn a routine stop into a disaster.
A theme of Mr. Gladwell’s book is that it is costly
to assume the worst about people you meet for the
first time. Such distrust increases the friction or
transaction costs for both parties. In business, this
translates into lost opportunities for making a sale or
deal. Could anyone imagine trying to independently
verify the accuracy of every label on a product
before making a purchase?
rise and fall by their character and the current
candidates will be no different.
It’s a crisis deeper than character.
Yet character is not everything, and those
who cannot get beyond it make a crucial mis-
take. Whether people love or loathe particular

In justice system encounters, communications in
which there is not underlying trust can contribute
to graver consequences than wasted time or a lost
sale. This can take the form of an arrest that goes
off the rails or the 150,000 cases every year in which
a person on community supervision is revoked to
prison for violating conditions, though not charged
with a new offense.

pulled over is not legally required to share informa-

Just as there is value in an officer often giving a
stranger a heads up on their next move, the driver

freedom. It is this which makes the U.S. a
republic and not just a democracy, and it is this
which prevents democracy from degenerating
into mob rule. Freedom is always the greatest
enemy of freedom.
The gravest danger to a free society is the
abuse of power created by the cor-
ruption of the powerful. Freedom
is not the permission to do what
we like, but the power to do what
we ought. Freedom therefore re-
quires a framework — truth, char-
acter and a way of life for citizens,
and a covenant or constitution for
America itself.
To pursue either individual
freedom or political freedom with-
out such a framework is suicidal,
yet that folly is abroad in America
today. The notion of “democra-
tizing democracy” would be as
disastrous for American freedom
as it would be for an orchestra to
remove its conductor or an army
to fight without officers. The
clear and present danger from the
extreme left is obvious to all with
their eyes open.
Call the radical ideas what
you like — neo-Marxism, Critical
Theory, Social Justice Scholarship,
or whatever — but the ideas of the
radical left are openly opposed to
ordered freedom. What requires
attention now is the undermining
of traditional American liberalism.
Without a philosophical founda-
tion for freedom, without a deep
sense of history, and without an ap-
preciation for the constructive role
of religion, liberalism is hollowing
itself out. American liberalism is
becoming illiberal, it is losing its
all-important differences from the
left, and increasingly it no longer
defends America’s foundational
freedom. All that is left is power.
The implications for America
are titanic. One side’s call is to
“Make America great again,” and
the other’s is to “Restore America’s
soul,” but neither can succeed
unless they restore what made
America America in the first place.
That should be the concern that
unites all Americans, regardless
of party, liberals as well as con-
servatives. Character certainly
counts, but character is only one
part of a deeper and wider crisis.
The American Revolution and its
unique vision of freedom are at
stake, and both cry out for defend-
ers who will make their stand in
time.

the same officer and individual meet regularly, many
agencies have implemented evidence-based prac-
tices such as motivational interviewing.
Instead of a conversation limited to written ques-
tions such as whether the person being supervised is
still at the same address, the probation officer should
ask questions that inspire motivation. These include:
How can I help you with ___? Help me understand
___?” These inquiries recognize the person’s dignity
and elicit areas of weakness as well as strengths
that can be built on. Research has
found motivational interviewing both
reduces recidivism and increases the
odds of positive outcomes such as
employment.
Similarly, a study found that
when police officers were trained to
incorporate procedural justice in their
communications, general complaints
and excessive use of force incidents
decreased. Through the training, offi-
cers learned to “provide opportunities
for civilians to state and explain their
case before making a decision, apply
consistent and explicable rules-based
decision-making, treat civilians with
dignity and respect their status as
community members … .” While no
one enjoys being arrested or penalized,
there is value to processes that instill
legitimacy in that individual and the
community.
Speaking down to someone over
whom authority is being exercised
can, due to a skills deficit, eclipse the
fundamental truth that all people are
of equal worth and thus entitled to
dignity. Yet, the solution is not to abol-
ish authority roles, as without police
we would be in a Hobbesian state of nature where
might makes right and without probation more
people would be sentenced to prison.
Regrettably, there will always be emergen-
cies that limit communication opportunities and
encounters that were doomed from the start where
positive outcomes by ensuring their personnel were
better equipped to communicate with those over
whom they exercise authority.

Let’s hear it
for the police
‘Reformers’ want to thin the
ranks of the police, as though life
would be more pleasant
without cops around
By R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.
M
y deadline for this column is Tues-
day afternoon so obviously I could
not report on Tuesday’s elections.
I know, I know, the mainstream
media already had their stories about Tuesday’s
presidential elections written weeks ago. It was a
Biden landslide.
Donald Trump is already packing his bags and
leaving town, but where will he retreat to? The
entire world is left-wing now. Even Monaco
has gone left. Maybe the former president can
retreat to Moscow with his old friend Vladi-
mir Putin. Possibly we shall see them playing
golf together. One thing is certain, Donald will
be smiling. I have never seen a man who had
so much fun running for office, and his voice
never cracked. Remember I said it. Donald
just ran the most vigorous campaign since Bob
Kennedy’s tragically truncated 1968 campaign.
So, without Tuesday’s big story to write
about, what am I to do? Well, given the mobs in
the streets that have been forming for weeks,
I am sure the police will be active. I hope no
one is hurt, especially among the police. They
come from homes just like you and me. They
have children and spouses. Some are coming
home today with aches and pains, all acquired
from their work in the line of duty. I hope they
have no more serious wounds than aches and
pains, and, of course, I hope their adversaries
have no more serious wounds. Yet their adver-
saries can avoid injury by staying at home. The
police cannot stay at home. They have to take
to the streets to protect property and pedestri-
ans. Thank God for the police.
The Democrats want to defund the po-
lice. They feel that sending psychologists out
on patrol and social workers is the enlight-
ened alternative to
armed police. Well,
America already has I come from a

I come from a
police family. Three generations ago my great-
grandfather was a patrolman in Chicago. He
held the line in the Haymarket Riot of 1886
fighting simple demonstrators mixed with
anarchists who carried bombs. For years there-
after, he attended the Haymarket Riot remem-
brance. In the end, he was the sole survivor
and I recall as a little boy laying a wreath at a
Haymarket memorial in Chicago’s Union Park.
In the 1960s, the Students for a Democratic So-
ciety bombed the Haymarket memorial twice.
On at least one occasion Barack Obama’s
friend Bill Ayers participated in the bombing.
I have written that Bill missed me by about 25
years. Now, the Haymarket memorial is in a
nearby police station. It is much safer there.
Four generations ago my great-great-grand-
father headed the Secret Service in Chicago.
He got wind of a plot by counterfeiters to steal
the body of Abraham Lincoln from its crypt
in Springfield, Illinois, and hold it for ransom.
The night of the kidnaping he and his Pinker-
ton Men surrounded the crypt and broke up
the plot. They chased the counterfeiters back
to Chicago and eventually Tyrrell sent the
perpetrators to the calaboose.
So, as you can see I have a great deal of
sympathy for the police. They brave great
danger to protect ordinary people. Of late they
have in large numbers been injured in car-
rying out their work. Some have been badly
injured, and others have been murdered. Now
“reformers” want to thin their ranks as though
life would be much more pleasant without the
cops around. Kamala Harris has even contrib-
uted to a fund for bailing out demonstrators
whom the police have arrested. Thirteen mem-
bers of Joe Biden’s staff did likewise.
For some reason the Democratic candi-
dates feel the police are the cause of urban
unrest. Already the City Council of the City of
Philadelphia has denied them the use of tear
gas. Last week, 58 police officers in that city
were injured and one had her leg broken when
a peaceful protestor ran over her in his pickup
truck. During last week’s riot 442 incidents
of looting were reported and rioters used
explosives to break into 22 automated-teller
machines.
I wonder if Kamala and the Biden 13 sent
any donations to the Philadelphia cop with the
broken leg.

T
he COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an added
level of horror for families trying to protect
their children from Internet-related harms and
parents, rightly so, are looking to government
leaders for help.
Prior to COVID-19, the online sexual exploita-
tion of children was already at pandemic pro-
portions. The reality we now live in has vastly
increased online activity for kids due
to virtual learning and an increased
time indoors. Parents are increasingly
concerned about the dangers associated
with the use of digital tools and social
media, where savvy sexual preda-
tors, traffickers and pornographers are
aggressively preying on vulnerable
children.
Reports of online sexual exploitation
of children have soared since COVID
first blindsided Americans earlier this
year. In 2018, over half of U.S. sex traffick-
ing involved children with 55% of minors
meeting their traffickers through a web-
site or mobile app. The month following
sheltering in place orders, reports of sex
trafficking crisis cases handled by the
Trafficking Hotline increased by more
than 40% compared to the prior month.
In 2019, 16.9 million reports contain-
ing 69 million images and videos of
suspected child sex abuse materials were
reported via the National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children’s Cyber-
Tipline, depicting victims as young as
infant and toddler age. In April 2020, one
month after the lockdown, the Tipline
reported a four-fold increase in reports
over April 2019.
By July of this year, Google Trends reported an 80% increase
in parents searching for online help in dealing with cyberbullying,
demonstrating that one of COVID’s least discussed ramifications is the
ambush on the innocence of American’s children in the digital world.
Today’s mainstream multibillion-dollar online pornography industry
22% of the online porn use of minor-aged consumers.
It’s no coincidence that the influx of illegal pornography content
snowballed after the Department of Justice Obscenity Prosecution
Task Force, set up originally to combat adult obscenity, was shut down
during the Obama administration. As a result, the ongoing failure to
enforce the federal obscenity laws continues to fuel the tsunami of
child pornography and sex trafficking crime that is overwhelming
DOJ.
In the last U.S. presidential election cycle, candidates Donald J.
Trump signed and Hillary Clinton supported via letter, Enough Is
Enough’s bipartisan Children’s Internet Safety Presidential Pledge.
This was an historic first.
In recent weeks, Democratic candidate Joe Biden has been
dent, to uphold the rule of law to defend the innocence and dignity of
America’s children,” by aggressively enforcing existing federal child
pornography, obscenity and sex trafficking laws and advancing public
policies designed to prevent the sexual exploitation of children online.
Partly inspired by the pledge, the current administration has made
discernible progress in tackling the global scourge of human traffick-
ing by approving the largest DOJ grant package in history. Addition-
ally, the president signed nine pieces of bipartisan legislation to combat
trafficking, both domestically and inter-
nationally, and signed an executive order
which included a $42 million budget
increase to expand support for trafficking
victims and to create a new White House
staff position to focus solely on domestic
trafficking and child sexual exploitation.
These successes must be built upon
and expanded in order to turn back the
pandemic of Internet crimes against chil-
dren. Protecting our nation’s youth from
online harms is a unifying issue that fami-
lies and parents of all races and religions
agree. Parents can’t possibly shoulder the
entire burden of protecting children from
virtual criminals seeking to destroy their
innocence.
Hopefully soon, the devastating
impact of COVID-19 will end, but the
scourge of the sexual exploitation of chil-
dren will continue to escalate unless the
next president of the United States keeps
the protection, safety and dignity of chil-
dren online a top priority. It is essential
for the sake of the children to continue
the momentum we have gained against
online criminals that have no second gear.

Pipes Obamacare’s insurance market regula-

From page B1
deductibles for a bronze plan have
risen by about one-fourth, to more
than $6,500, since 2014, the first
year the exchanges were open for
business.
Premium subsidies have insulated
those earning up to 400% of the federal
poverty level, or $104,800 for a family of
four, from these price increases. But for
the millions of Americans who are not
eligible for exchange subsidies, coverage
has become an unaffordable luxury.
Between 2016 and 2019, the number of
unsubsidized exchange enrollees dropped
by 45%, or 2.8 million people. This exodus
has helped drive up the nation’s unin-
sured rate for the last three consecutive
years.
tions are largely responsible for these pre-
mium increases. The law forces insurers
to sell to all comers, regardless of health
status or history, and caps premiums for
the old at three times what they are for
the young. It also orders all plans to
cover 10 “essential health benefits.”
These provisions are popular. But
they’re expensive. When people have
to bear the cost of these mandates on
their own, without the benefit of gov-
ernment subsidies, they’re increasingly
deciding to go without coverage.
Mr. Biden’s trying to coax many of
these folks back into the exchanges,
courtesy of John Q. Taxpayer. Under
his plan, no American would have to
spend more than 8.5% of their income
in premiums. Mr. Biden would also
increase the value of the premium
subsidies by basing them on the price
of the more generous gold plans rather
than silver ones.
These changes would make ex-
change coverage appear more afford-
able to many Americans. An analysis
by the Kaiser Family Foundation
found that, for a 40-year-old earning
$50,000 a year, the premium for a
gold exchange plan would fall from
$522 a month to $354.
But Mr. Biden’s new subsidies
have to come from somewhere. That
somewhere is the federal Treasury.
By his campaign’s own admission, the
new subsidies would more than double
federal spending on Obamacare’s mar-
ketplaces over the next decade.
To put that in perspective, under
current law, the federal government
is expected to spend $610 billion on
Obamacare premium subsidies be-
tween 2021 and 2030.
Throwing more money at the
exchanges does nothing to address
the runaway health spending that is
consuming an ever-growing share of
our economy. Overall health expendi-
tures grew from $2.6 trillion in 2010 to
$3.6 trillion in 2018. As of 2018, health
care accounted for 17.7% of the nation’s
gross domestic product.
Taken as a whole, Mr. Biden’s health
plan would cost taxpayers a whopping
$750 billion over 10 years, according
to his campaign. That’s an exorbitant
price tag by any account — one that
will require massive tax increases at a
time of historic economic uncertainty.
Obamacare left millions of Americans
unable to afford coverage. Mr. Biden’s re-
sponse is to obscure that fact by flooding
the exchanges with billions of new federal
dollars. If his plan is implemented, future
generations of taxpayers will be able to
thank him for their eye-popping tax bills.

Johnson leaves remarkable legacy of titles and charity
BY JENNA FRYER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASCAR’s nicest guy will
run his final race this weekend
and close a remarkable career
that ranks among the best in
history. The mark Jimmie John-
son has made off the track de-
serves equal celebration.
Johnson is
On racing widely recog-
nized for his
record-tying seven Cup Series
titles and 83 victories. That on-
track success gave him a plat-
form to make an immeasurable
impact on communities dear to
his family.
The Jimmie Johnson Foun-
dation to date has donated
more than $12 million through a
variety of programs and grants,
many aimed toward K-12 public
education. The generosity of
Johnson and his wife, Chandra,
has purchased technology, built
playgrounds and outdoor learn-
ing centers, created wellness
programs and much more.
A $52,000 grant given to Jay
M. Robinson High School in
Concord in 2017 was used to
purchase 3D printers. When the
pandemic began, the students
used the printers to make 400

Washington Times. “Also, it really
hurts Juan Soto, and this is my
opinion, that he didn’t play on a
winning team, a playoff team, and
a team that played truly meaning-
ful games throughout the season.
“That usually doesn’t matter
anymore for most people, but as
an old guy, it still matters to me.
Did you play on a team that, one,
made the playoffs? And were you
the reason that they made the
playoffs?”
In some ways, Soto and short-
stop Trea Turner were practi-
cally the only bright spots from

Loch Lomond Elementary
School in Virginia in late 2019
won a $48,000 grant from
Johnson for increased STEM
activities. Among the items pur-
chased were iPads and Chrome-
books, technology it was able to
loan to 150 students who could
not access virtual learning dur-
ing the pandemic.
Johnson has partnered with
Habitat for Humanity, the
Make-A-Wish Foundation and
created the Jimmie Johnson
Foundation Fit Fest, a commu-
nity event designed to encour-
age outdoor activities for chil-
dren via trail runs, mountain
biking and a Spartan Kids Race.
“We knew in the beginning
that children would be our
focus but we wanted to keep it
broad enough to help commu-
nities in need, as well,” Johnson
told The Associated Press.
“Chani has a love of the arts
and has always had a watchful
eye on arts-related programs.
I have a watchful eye on the
physical fitness projects. There
are things that we look for, but

ing voting centers.
“The turning point for us is
listening to our players. Not that
we hadn’t listened to them before,
but with all of the events that have
gone on … they said, ‘Hey, what
we’re doing is not enough; we
have to do more.’ ”
Last month, Denver Nuggets
power forward Paul Millsap de-
cided to take more responsibil-
ity on himself. He transformed
his own training facility — a
44,000-square foot complex — in
DeKalb County, Georgia, into an
early voting center.
It was a continuation of
Millsap’s efforts to encourage
Stephen Strasburg needed carpal
tunnel surgery, and right fielder
Adam Eaton underperformed
before an injury ended his sea-
son prematurely, too. Washington
lost Starlin Castro early in the
campaign to injury, then relied
heavily on Luis Garcia at second
base, a 20-year-old rookie.
Soto and Turner — who hit
.351 and .335, respectively — didn’t
have the bats around them to
force pitchers to go right after
them. And while the team made
a surge late in the year, the Na-
tionals, just one year removed
from a World Series title, never
looked like a playoff team, finish-
ing 26-34.
For Freeman, Betts and Mach-
ado, though, their teams all made
it to the postseason. Freeman and
Betts met in the National League
Championship Series, where the
Dodgers toppled the Braves. And

similar wave was to come this
year. With the league’s salary
cap projected to be significantly
lower in 2021, some wondered if
teams would be eager to get off
high-priced contracts and thus
cause lots of movement.
“The NFL trade deadline has
been a non-event forever,” former
Bears executive Greg Gabriel
tweeted late last month. “Some
feel that it could be different this
year as teams want to dump sala-
ries because the cap lowers in ‘21.”
But in reality, the opposite
happened: Teams were hesitant
to take on additional money with
a looming cap drop. During the
offseason, the NFL and the play-
ers’ union agreed next year’s cap
would be no less than $175 million

It started as a small gesture
to help schools in California
and Oklahoma, where Johnson
and his wife grew up, and in
North Carolina, their current
home. It has evolved into a

playing like the superstar he is.
While MVP voting doesn’t
take the playoffs into account,
the Fall Classic displayed what
makes Betts so unique. It’s not
just his hitting — and he did that
well in 2020, with a .927 OPS. His
fielding and baserunning made
a significant difference, and it’s
those areas Soto could still im-
prove most.
“I don’t care if he ever steals
a base. If he keeps hitting like
that, just keep doing what you’re
doing, kid,” Kurkjian said. “But
defense, at least to me as an old
guy, defense is really important.
And I think he’s an average de-
fensive outfielder, and he’s going
to get better.
“But you look at the difference
that Mookie Betts made in the
postseason — especially in the
World Series for the Dodgers —
with his defense, and every young
player should aspire to help your
team on both sides of the ball.
— but that still represents a 12%
decrease from the current figure
($198 million). The league has
seen a decline in revenue without
most fans in stadiums and the
cancellation of preseason games.
Even teams with plenty of
money to spend didn’t budge. In
the NFC East, Washington, which
has a projected $23 million in cap
space, didn’t add anyone in an
attempt to win the division. The
team also kept those who were
seen as possible trade candidates
like Haskins, Kerrigan and defen-
sive end Ryan Anderson.
Washington’s lack of ac-
tion, however, shouldn’t come
as a surprise. The trade mar-
ket for Haskins was lukewarm

Maradona to undergo
surgery for brain bleeding
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA |
Diego Maradona will undergo
surgery Tuesday because of
possible bleeding on his brain,
his personal doctor said.
Maradona has a subdural
hematoma, which is an accu-
mulation of blood between a
membrane and his brain, said
Luque, a neurologist. He said
the problem likely was caused
next generation of fans.
Johnson, the father of two
young daughters, is commit-
ted to setting a good example
and has been encouraging his
children to find their own vol-
unteering causes. But his com-
mitment to kindness goes far
beyond monetary donations.
It was Johnson who started
the driver initiative to support
Bubba Wallace when a noose
was found in Wallace’s garage
at Talladega Superspeedway in
June. The initial conversations
led to an unprecedented mo-
ment of unity when the entire
industry pushed Wallace’s car
to the front of the grid.
When President Trump
tweeted a broadside at Wallace
over the noose, Johnson was
one of the few drivers to defend
his peer with a social media
post extending his support to
NASCAR’s only Black driver
at the elite level. He has taken
a more prolific role than ever
before in matters of social jus-
tice and hoped his own positive
coronavirus test in June could
be a learning experience for
others.
As he heads to his final race

voters. We’re going from various
sites throughout the city, bringing
a DJ, tying in city officials, other
Eagles players, other influencers
to kind of rally behind and sup-
port everyone who has taken the
time to go out and vote.”
Especially in a battleground
state like Pennsylvania, where Pres-
ident Trump and former Vice Presi-
dent Joseph R. Biden are closely
locked, every vote matters.
“It’s a very important elec-
tion,” McLeod told the Associ-
ated Press. “We wanted to be
advocates for voter education,
voter awareness, making sure that
people are getting to the polls.”
“If you lead the league in
OPS, almost by definition you’re
the best offensive player in the
league,” Kurkjian said. “When it
comes to best young hitters in
the game, I’m not sure you start
anywhere other than Juan Soto.”
So while the Nationals have a
long offseason ahead, deliberat-
ing where to make splash signings
to retool a roster that suffered
from a post-World Series slump,
one thing is clear.
With Soto in the heart of the
order, Washington has one of the
best players in baseball — present
and future.
“He’s going to win multiple,
multiple MVPs before he’s done,”
Kurkjian said. “He is off to such
a great start. He has done things
that no 19-year-old, no 20-year-
old and no 21-year-old, basically,
has ever done. And there’s no
question in my mind he will win
more than one MVP before his
career is over.”

A year ago, all the big-name
trades were done well in advance
of the deadline. Star cornerback
Jalen Ramsey’s trade to the Los
Angeles Rams, for instance, was
in mid-October. The Baltimore
Ravens had acquired Marcus Pe-
ters from the Rams on the same
day. The 49ers traded for wideout
Emmanuel Sanders a few weeks
later. Sure, it left for a dull dead-
line, but at least there was some
exciting in-season movement.
The same can hardly be said
for 2020. And what’s the fun in
that?

Johnson set new standards
on the race track but ultimately
deserves equal recognition for
the person he was outside of his
No. 48 Chevrolet. His motto, he
said, is being himself and letting
the chips fall where they may.
“The way you treat people
and handle things not only im-
pacts your life specifically, but it
also attracts like-minded people
to be around you and the teams
that you drive for and the spon-
sors that you have,” Johnson
said. “When I look at the big
picture, you see all these other
variables where like-minded
people have assembled together
and we’re able to do what we
do.
“Competition is fierce and
you have to be cutthroat at
times, but I think I’m one of
quite a few examples that if you
just be yourself, and do your
thing, you can be respectful and
kind to others and still succeed
in a competitive sport.”

affair with the younger Falwell’s
wife.
Falwell has denied details of
the story and is suing the school
for defamation and breach of
contract, saying the university
“moved quickly” to destroy his
reputation.
The football team’s success,
Freeze hopes, shines a different
light on the university.
“I do hope in some way for
those that are experiencing
whatever negative things that
could go on in life in general
that, I would hope that if they’re
a Liberty fan, that our foot-
ball team certainly gives them
something to have some joy
about,” Freeze said.
“As far as being some beacon,
I don’t know if we’re that, but I
do think we’ve played in such a
way that gives the Liberty family
something to be proud of and
receive joy from.”
For Freeze, a surprising hire
after personal indiscretions in-
volving an escort service cost
him his job at Mississippi in 2017,
the year so far has been “a blast.”
The toughest part of Liberty’s
schedule lies ahead with upcom-
ing games against the Hokies, at
North Carolina State. and at No.
15 Coastal Carolina.
Being back in coaching,
though, and having already
helped the Flames achieve a se-
ries of firsts – first bowl victory
last year in the Cure Bowl, first
victory against an Atlantic Coast
Conference school (Syracuse, this
year) and now, the Top 25 rank-
ing – has Freeze looking forward
and celebrating that he didn’t let
his darkest days deter his journey.
“People sometimes write
things about this being a re-
demptive story, however you
want to phrase that, so I don’t
want to make it about that
entirely because that’s such a
small part of it,” he said. “But I
do think failures are probably
a very, very, very close kin to
successes.”
Few who succeed, he sur-
mises, haven’t handled some “gut
punches” along the way.
At Liberty, Freeze’s plan has
been ambitious from the start,
and earning a spot in the Top 25
was “on my list of things to do
in building a program,” he said.
Now he said the question for the
Flames is, “How hungry are you
to stay there and be relevant and
be talked about?”

Athletes, teams embrace civic roles, encourage voter turnout

BY ANDY KOSTKA
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Head coaches can often be
creatures of routine. But this
week, Maryland football coach
Mike Locksley made an exception
to the usual schedule, opting to
adjust his practice plans to ensure
his players had the chance to
participate in Tuesday’s elections.
Instead of having Sunday off,
the Terrapins practiced. That
freed up Tuesday as an off day,
and “quite a few” football players
took advantage of the time to take
on active Election Day roles, like
volunteering at Xfinity Center,
which is serving as a polling sta-
tion this year.
“Part of their thoughts with
the social justice issues going on,
they wanted to make a difference,
and do it via educating people
on the voting process, includ-
ing themselves,” Locksley said
Monday. “I’m happy and proud of
our guys that they’ll be exercis-
ing their rights [Tuesday] at the
polls, but also helping others at
