The Ohio Democratic Party told me I wasn’t allowed to talk to voters—even in the hallway of the hotel. Two aides escorted me back to the gated off press area. It was the first I had heard of this “rule.”

The Brown/Acton campaigns did this in Ohio as did the GOP election night watch party. Rob Sand in Iowa was the only large event I was really given free rein this midterm cycle. I could also wander while voters were arriving at smaller Vivek events in Ohio during the campaign, pre-election night.

Despite receiving more than 165K votes, the Winchester Model 1873 isn't guaranteed the honorary distinction. The advisory q non-binding: Legislators need to pass a law for the designation to become official & can ultimately choose a gun that wasn't listed pro.stateaffairs.com/id/news…

GOP Sen. Rounds faults Trump for his focus on “side issues” like the East Wing of the White House and the reflecting pool. He also notes that Trump told voters to act like he was on the ballot, and last night is how they responded
