Secretary of State Races: Election Deniers Carry GOP Banner in Several Key States By Louis Jacobson

KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE

— With most primaries now complete, a majority of the nation’s competitive secretary of state races pit a Republican nominee aligned with former President Donald Trump against a relatively mainstream Democrat.

Biden Puts IRS Funding Ahead of Military and Border Security By Stephen Moore
