The Jayhawks proved to be too much, putting the...

According to Ramaswamy, the then-vice president missed “a historic opportunity.” Pence could have forged “a national compromise” by leading the way on an election-reform package of single-day voting on Election Day (which would become a federal holiday), paper ballots, and government-issued ID.And that’s what Ramaswamy would have done — forge “national consensus,” whereas Pence missed his chance to “reunite” the country.As it happens, the only parties to whom Ramaswamy’s posited grand bargain would have been unsatisfactory are a) the United States Congress and b) President Do...
