| Florida's Amendment 4: The Highest Stakes of All |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| The biggest contest next Tuesday, November 5, is without doubt the race for the White House. With various suggestions that this will be the last quadrennial election in our democracy, put me on the side of those who think it likelier that the race for the White House in 2028 will be in the news before the doomsday talk takes hold. On one subject matter at least, however, next Tuesday's election will be fateful: the installation of abortion on request in state constitutions. |

| Early Vote Tally Surpasses 60 Million with 5 Days to Go |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Nearly 62 million Americans had cast a ballot by early afternoon on October 31, according to the University of Florida Election Lab, with five days left until Election Day, 2024. Early voting in-person and by mail has already surpassed the early vote totals for the 2012 and 2016 elections and may yet approach or surpass the share of early votes cast in 2020. "The meta-trend overall is a dip in the number of mail-in ballots that have arrived," with more early voters choosing to vote in person, said Matt Carpenter, director of Family Research Council Action, on "Washington Watch" Wednesday. |

| The Mastery of Freedom: Self-Control in Election Season |
| by Jared Bridges |
| Every candidate for office will tell you that elections are about freedom. But they're really about control. Control of the presidency, control of Congress, control of a city or county, and control of the soil conservation board - whatever that is. The clamor for control is seemingly everywhere, but too often there's a glaring absence of control in one place: ourselves. |

| Recognize the Real Champions of Faith: The Persecuted around the World |
| by Sean Nelson |
| While the passage of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 was an important legislative step forward, we should remember that the legislation was not just about an abstract principle. It was about mustering the full weight of U.S. foreign policy to help real people facing persecution just because of their faith - real people who are themselves an enormous inspiration. |
