The lay of the land in Pennsylvania’s excruciating Republican U.S. Senate primary changed little Wednesday as elections officials churned through the biggest chunk of uncounted ballots. Dr. Mehmet Oz’s lead over former Wall Street executive David McCormick had shrunk some, to 1,242 votes as of 9 p.m. That was cut in half from Oz’s 2,594 vote lead as of 11 a.m. But shrinking faster was the stack of on-time but uncounted mail-in ballots. Based on the Department of State’s real-time tallies, the total mail-in vote count had grown by about 20,500 through the day Wednesday. That means, at most, there...

The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act is a Democrat bill that “would codify the process by which the Biden administration came to investigate parents with whom it has political disagreements.” “Last fall, parents across the United States were accused of being ‘domestic terrorists’ for speaking out against their child’s curriculum,” Green said. “My amendment would have protected parents’ ability to speak up and question harmful curriculum like Critical Race Theory and obscene...
