"Tell Congress to Reauthorize the Voting Rights Act!"

That's the subject of this petition at the Ben & Jerry's website:

I debated posting about it here, not least because I'm not sure what good it alone can do, but it's a useful starting point for writing and calling our elected officials about the VRA. I hope, anyway.

Alabama Senate Election: poll puts Doug Jones ahead of Roy Moore by 12 points

[tanaqui]

A poll conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee on Nov 12-13 among 500 registered Alabama voters has Republican Roy Moore trailing Democrat Doug Jones by 12 points, according Politico.

The Politico story also says the poll suggests the Republicans wouldn't do much better if they brought in an alternative candidate such as Sessions.
