Indianapolis, IN, USA. In some states, labor unions have decided the best way to regain influence may be to work on the Republican Party from within.
When voters in Indiana’s 64th state House district go to the polls today, their ballots will say that James Amick is a Republican primary candidate. But if they’ve heard some of Amick’s positions on the issues, they might not be so sure.

Richmond, VA, USA. Abortion, gay marriage, sex education, gun control: 2012 so far the states have seen plenty of partisan clashes over social policy, with more fireworks coming.
The legislative session that Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell wanted this year was very different from the one he wound up getting. "Let's be civil", McDonnell told Virginia legislators at the start of this year's session. They didn't always follow his injunction.

Providence, RI, USA. Research findings indicate that voter identification requirements have a substantially negative impact on the voting of all groups, except for Asians.
Particularly strong negative effects are seen for Blacks and Hispanics (voting decreased by 18% and 22%, respectively). Even Whites show dampened turnout associated with voter ID policies, but it has the opposite effect for Asians (boosting turnout by nearly 30%).

Durham, NC, USA. Despite the claims of previous researchers, one or two genes cannot predict voting behavior.
