DESERET NEWS — Republican Rep. Burgess Owens and Democratic challenger Darlene McDonald agreed on very little in a lively debate Friday that featured two Black congressional candidates for perhaps the first time in Utah. James Curry, a University of Utah political science professor who moderated the debate, said “as far as we know,” two African American candidates have never faced each other in a major political race in the state....

STEPHEN STONE, FOUNDER & PRESIDENT OF RENEWAMERICA — With less than a week to go before the Nov. 8 election, let’s take a quick look at the most outrageous falsehoods the Democrat-aligned media and their point man, Evan McMullin, have perpetuated to unseat Utah’s senior U.S. senator, Mike Lee. It should be obvious to anyone who’s taken the time to closely follow the Lee-McMullin race that the media are rooting for the “opportunistic gadfly” McMullin (to use Mike Lee’s appropriate label), even helping McMullin shape and disseminate his talking points. Missing from media accounts is an accurate and fair representation of relevant facts.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — In 1629, the first American balloting for an election occurred in Salem, Massachusetts. The issue? Choosing a minister and choosing a Christian teacher for the colony. “Such is the origin of the use of the ballot on this continent; [Samuel] Skelton was chosen pastor and [Francis] Higginson teacher.” So writes George Bancroft, an early American historian, on this first election on American soil in Volume I of his 6-volume, History of the United States of America (1882)....

MADELINE CRABB — President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said, “The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.” American citizens have the privilege and duty to vote in the midterm election next week. Many of you may have already voted, but for the rest, I hope you will seriously consider the following thoughts before you go to the polls. Why not also share these admonitions with those you know who might not understand the consequences of wrong choices?... (more)

JUST THE NEWS — With just a week to go before the midterm elections, there is a lack of confidence in the integrity of our elections, according to former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline. "Not enough is being done to restore faith in the American election process," Kline said on the Monday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "We need adults to show up and to come together on common ground and work out what it takes to run a fair election and it takes this: transparency, inclusion and accountability."... (more)

ANN COULTER — After months of warning you about the GOP's chronic overconfidence problem, now I'm feeling overconfident! Inasmuch as I will be giving a speech at my alma mater, Cornell University, the day after the election, I'm about to do something very stupid: make an election prediction. My reasoning is, here we are, three weeks from the election, and this week, two major polls, Harvard Harris and Times Sienna, suddenly show Republicans gaining ground. This triggered a primordial memory from the 1980 election, the first presidential race I paid attention to.... (more)

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — The Republicans were always going to win big in November, regardless of what biased pundits professed. There was likely never a sudden “blue resurgence” or “red collapse” of late summer. Those fantasies were mostly Democratic Party talking points. They were readily regurgitated by the fusion media and biased pollsters. The ruse was transparently designed to dampen conservative turnout and fundraising, while fueling interparty squabbling over supposedly “unelectable MAGA candidates.”... (more)

TRISTAN JUSTICE — Fox News’ Tucker Carlson railed against former House staffer Evan McMullin Friday night as a “liberal Democrat” masquerading in a red state Senate race as an independent. “Utah is a conservative highly Republican state,” Carlson said in his opening prime-time monologue. “Evan McMullin has the same politics and worldview as Pete Buttigieg. He is running as a liberal Democrat. But he’s not running as a liberal Democrat, and that’s the key to success this year.”... (more)

DESERET NEWS — The U.S. Senate race between Sen. Mike Lee and Evan McMullin is a rough-and-tumble slugfest. Campaign activities are generating arguments among politicos over polling, negative ads, superPACs and all the other campaign stuff hacks like us enjoy. We share the fun. Both campaigns have revealed results of internal polling to show their candidate ahead. The Utah Debate Commission/Lighthouse Research survey showed Lee ahead 48%-37% with 5% undecided. Last week’s Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll added fuel to the fire, showing the race essentially tied (Lee 36%, McMullin 34%, 16% undecided). What does this polling puzzle say about the race?... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — A “trapped” President Joe Biden could end up dragging Democrats down, Fox Business host Stuart Varney claimed Friday. “The President visited Pennsylvania. His handlers tried the basement strategy. Didn’t work,” Varney said. “They couldn’t keep him away from reporters. He lost his temper when he was asked about his limited campaign appearances. He went out on a limb on abortion and snapped at a reporter about that, too. But the President, he’s really trapped.”... (more)

Saratoga County Supreme Court Justice Dianne Freestone, a Republican, wrote in her decision on Friday that the New York state legislature, which is controlled by Democrats, "appears poised to continue the expanded absentee voting provisions of New York State Election Law … in an Orwellian perpetual state of health emergency and cloaked in the veneer of ‘voter enfranchisement,'" according to Fox News....
