Though most old and sick people will be worse off under the GOP bill, it might be a boon—real or perceived—for people earning just above the Obamacare subsidy cutoff.If it doesn't help sick people, what's it for? They could have spent the time working to make Obamacare better. Wikipedia gives a history of the GOP's efforts to repeal Obamacare (ACA).

The Electoral College was created for two reasons. The first purpose was to create a buffer between population and the selection of a President. The second as part of the structure of the government that gave extra power to the smaller states. (Marc Schulman, History Central)and the Electoral College is what put Trump in office. This article at Vox is to me most illuminating: "The people’s tyrant: what Plato can teach us about Donald Trump."

The data primarily comprises e-mails, pdf files, photo files, and excerpts of an internal Mossack Fonseca database. It covers a period spanning from the 1970s to the spring of 2016.

Voters in 22 states will face tougher rules than in the last midterms. In 15 states, 2014 is slated to be the first major election with new voting restrictions in place.Although American Prospect is not exactly an objective publication, don't expect conservative publications to offer reliable information on this topic. It's too late and maybe impossible to change these restrictions now, but citizens can help the minorities targeted setup their rights to vote in each state.
