There is one message that voters are getting in Georgia's 6th Congressional District (and elections across the country): Be angry.

It appears that the momentum toward non-affiliated voter registration in Oregon is not letting up. In fact, it appears to be accelerating.

Latest statistics from the Oregon secretary of state’s office show nearly a 60% growth from December 2010 to May 2017. What’s interesting is the growth of independents from 2015 to 2017, from 527,302 to 739,405 (over 200,000 new registrations).

While the Germans appear to be completely oblivious to the fact, they are viewed as the ultimate rival to the British. This is shown in not only sporting and political rivalries, but also is embedded in culture for historical reasons and the connection of the countries. The Royal family, for example, is basically German after all!

Our democracy is fundamentally broken by a dangerous new era of fierce partisan divisions. Most voters are locked in congressional districts that are increasingly skewed toward one party.
