"Across the country, from local elections to congressional and gubernatorial races to ballot initiatives, pro-democracy candidates and policies prevailed in competitive contests. Americans sent a clear message: free and fair elections matter." https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/democracy-itself-was-on-the-ballot-on-election-day-and-won-decisively/

For #historians, today marks the 80th anniversary of Operation Torch, U.S. troops landings in Morocco and Algeria during WWII.

It was the first battle experience for many green US units & operational results were mixed.

Today, I’m a member of the American Battle Monuments Commission & one of our 26 cemeteries is located in Carthage. If you ever have a chance to visit, I highly recommend this site for its beauty, architecture & art, and reverence.
