One Ballot Measure Up for a Vote Today May Not Be Counted

One ballot measure up for a vote in Pennsylvania today may not be counted. A state commonwealth court judge reportedly issued an injunction last week that delays the Marsy’s Law vote until a League of Women’s Voters lawsuit is settled. The group claims the referendum proposes multiple amendments to the state constitution which violates the separate vote requirement. The ballot measure proposes giving victims of crimes co-equal rights to the accused, such as if the suspect is released or escapes.

Group: Buffalo Wild Wings Near Chicago Tried to Re-Seat Over Skin Color

A group of mostly African-American people celebrating a birthday party at a Buffalo Wild Wings in suburban Chicago allege they were asked to change tables…because of their skin color. Justin Vahl says he was at a Naperville restaurant last month with children and adults when a host asked him about his ethnicity. Vahl is multi-racial. Later, a manager asked the group to move because a regular customer didn’t want to sit near black people. After several managers tried to move the group, they left for another restaurant.

Sanders: My Medicare Plan ‘Far More Progressive’ Than Warren’s

The gloves are now off between Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Sanders says his Medicare-for-All plan is “far more progressive” than Warren’s. Warren on Friday announced she would implement universal healthcare by transferring 98 percent of the $8.8 trillion she estimates that employers will spend on private insurance for their employees. Companies with fewer than 50 employees would be exempt and employers already offering health benefits reached under collective bargaining agreements will be allowed to reduce how much they send to federal coffers. Sanders disagrees with how Warren will fund the plan. Sanders’ plan would be funded by a tax hike. Warren has pledged no middle-class tax increases. Sanders also said Warren’s plan could have a “very negative impact” on job creation.

Andrew Yang: Emphasizing Impeachment Could Harm Dems

Overemphasis on trying to impeach President Donald Trump could backfire, Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. Yang emphasized that he does support impeachment, but insists that the path to victory is talking about how to solve the country’s problems and create a better future. He also pointed out that it could also do the party harm in an additional way, because impeachment could take five Democratic presidential candidates who are senators away from the campaign trail at a critical time if they need to become jurors in a Senate trial.
