This story needed to be told, people have listened and Moore’s noble efforts to bring names and faces to his men have been accomplished.

In November of 1860, the presidential election was one of the most momentous in the history of the United States. The land was split between North and the South and was smoldering for almost a decade. The candidates for the presidential election of 1860 were Abraham Lincoln, Republican, John Breckinridge, Southern Democrat, John Bell, Constitutional Union, and Stephen Douglas, Northern Democratic. Abraham Lincoln was against the increase of slavery into the new territories. Lincoln did not receive one vote from the south, but he did win over 50% of the Electoral College votes so Lincoln won the presidency to become the 16th President of the United States. Abraham Lincoln was known as one of America’s greatest heroes because of his inconceivable impact on our nation and his unique appeal. Lincoln was a captain in the military and a lawyer all before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln was one of two U.S. presidents who was assassinated while in office. Lincoln was also the president during the roughest part of American history, the Civil War. Lincoln was heavily in favor of abolishing slavery and so most of the citizens in the northern states of the U.S... On the other hand, the south had large plantations and favored slavery because the slaves worked for free and made plantation owners and other farmers a staggering amount of profit. The slaves were not treated as human beings; therefore, the slaves were mistreated. Slave owners often beat their slaves

Texas has a controversial way of electing its judges. When Texas became a state in 1845, judges were appointed by the governor with Senate consent, but since 1876, judges at all levels of courts have been elected by the people in partisan elections. The main problem with this system is partisan elections lead to more campaign contributions and increased partisanship among judge which hinders fair and independent judiciary system.

On October 24th, Republican Senator Jeff Flake surprised the nation by announcing he would not seek re-election in 2018. It was not his announcement however that took people by surprise – it was his speech denouncing the president of the United States. Several times throughout his speech, Flake addressed trump directly, stating his behavior had a “chilling effect on a healthy democracy” (Nilsen). Flake continued,

Could Texas, who currently holds thirty eight Electoral College votes become a democratic state? This state, over the course of many historical events and interesting presidencies has been persistent in remaining a republican red. Although, this is true, who knows what the future may hold. Texas has an increasing minority rate, a constantly growing house income as well as meticulous job and business opportunities booming around urbanizing cities, which may very well pave the way for a purple or blue colored state.

Florida is a popular state when discussing political controversy. The media rushes to Florida during congressional and presidential elections due to its reputation as a conflicted state. Here we find the southern regions to be rather liberal and voting democratically, and on the other hand, we see the northern regions voting mostly conservatively. This creates controversy in the United States because Florida is a major determining factor of what kind of outcome we are going to get for a presidential election. This can be especially stressful for those running for office either presidentially or for the state specifically because they are unaware of their chances of gaining the states support and being elected into office.

As mentioned previously, the state of Indiana is a solid Republican state. For the Senate race, Indiana being mostly red already gave Todd Young and Trey Hollingsworth somewhat of a head start. Evan Bayh’s name recognition from his previous term as governor and senator of Indiana is not strong enough to overcome the accusations that he was using his time in office to explore other career options. Additionally, the demographics are not in favor of the Democratic candidate in the Senate race and certainly not in the 9th District race. There is definitely not enough of a minority factor to drive up the votes for the Democratic

The last time a democratic presidential candidate was voted in by Texas was in 1976, and 20 years have passed since Texans voted in a democrat to a major state office. Very close to election day however, Hilary Clinton was ahead in the polls. I heard several people actually worried that Texas would turn blue. Donald Trump, the republican candidate, did pull out the win in Texas in the end though.

This was a State election, that was only supposed to be statewide instead; it went National and was lit like a wild fire blazing out of control. There was no proof from these women or actual evidence that these allegations ever happened. Not one woman filed a grievance against Moore during the time, as three out of the four said that it did not go further than a kiss. The fourth had even said that nothing went past some touching and kissing. Yet, no claims or charges had been filed against Moore at the time of said allegations.

Leathers said this election cycle is such a “volatile environment, and everyone is so opinionated that I think it is going to be a large turnout.”

"We were just b----ing about the way our party has moved. They have given up on the South, they have given up on the heartland, on rural America," Saunders said, expressing both his and Webb's view. "It is a math game and the math is not going to work. It might work once and it might work twice. We just don't like the Democratic Party's

     Political parties also use ads that make there opponent out to be the bad guy, and often these ads come from what their opponent has said in the past. Candidates use information from the past to display the image that there opponent can not be trusted and will go back on his or her word. This is typically called “flip flopping”. When candidates make there opponent out to be a flip flopper, the opponent is making things worst for themselves. The Republican Party ran a series of ads that made Senator Kerry look like a flip flopper, and I think the overall effective ness of those ads was a major factor in the election, but Senator Kerry also stated his claims and told the voter how he fells on the very same issues that the republican party made senator Kerry to look indecisive on.

Christian theologian Russell Moore became Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s latest target on Twitter after he expressed his negative opinion on the billionaire on national television.

When the poll results in the 2000 election came in, the jokes seemed to last longer than the re-counts. Even now 3 years later the jokes continue to be evoked. Recently at the academy awards, while on stage to receive his academy award for his very humorous gun control documentary “Bowling for Columbine” Michael Moore called George W. Bush “a fictitious president” while following with jokes about the pope and the Dixie chicks.
