Washington State is on the left coast, yet Washington State voters just passed a voter initiative effectively banning natural gas bans. (They okayed banning bans.)

In June, Governor Hochul paused Manhattan’s “congestion pricing tolls”, citing high inflation and vacancy rates in Manhattan office buildings. Less gullible believed this issue would hurt the Democrats’ chances in November’s election. (Congestion pricing is unpopular with voters who dislike taxes. Duh!)
The toll, in June, was $15. After the election, Hochul announced the initiative will now go into effect on January 5th. Drivers entering south of 60th Street will be forced to pay $9.
Hochul is portraying this as a 40% tax cut. A toll going from $0 to $9 is a tax cut.
But there is also an ‘oops’ moment. This initiative requires approval from the federal government. Biden is okay with it but Trump has vowed to end the tolls when he takes office.

The Pennsylvania Senate race was called for Republican Dave McCormick, who currently holds a 26,000 votes lead. Being within one percentage point triggered an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law. Incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey has insisted that ‘’every vote” be counted.
And he wasn’t joking about ‘every vote.’
Before the election, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results. Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties are ignoring that court order to disqualify these ballots.
Democrat Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia said, "I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,"
She is admitting to committing voter fraud by citing (‘without evidence’ - as leftist media likes to say) that court orders are no longer mandatory, if you don’t like them.

Kamal Harris’ campaign raised an historic $1 billion…and she overspent it!

Colorado voters rejected Proposition 127, which sought to ban hunting mountain lions and bobcats.
The measure ignored the fact that populations of lions and bobcats are thriving, and hunting is carefully managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The sweeping language used in this initiative could have been expanded in the future to ban the hunting of other game animals like deer, elk, and sheep.
This is the first time since 1992 that Colorado voters have rejected a wildlife ballot proposal.
Fortunately, pro-hunting forces were well organized and able to effectively message about Proposition 127 to the Colorado Electorate.
This explains one reason why SCOPE and other 2A defense organizations exist.
