Musk tried to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat last fall. Voters there told him who holds the power—not him. Now he's put $445 million into the midterms. Americans should show him again our democracy is not a purchasable asset for his portfolio.

Students shouldn’t have to walk a mile just to vote. But when their early voting site was moved, students from NC A&T, Bennett College & UNC Greensboro didn’t back down—they marched to the polls.
Their determination is inspiring. The barriers they faced aren’t acceptable.
