A statue of former Virginia Governor Harry F. Byrd is expected to be removed from Richmond’s Capitol Square.
The Senate voted 36-3 to approve the removal Tuesday afternoon, but not before Democrats and Republicans gave dueling accounts of Byrd’s life on the Senate floor. Byrd was a leader in the South’s fight against racial integration in the 1950’s and 60’s, known as the massive resistance movement. He also led the creation of Virginia’s modern highway system and was rumoured to be a top contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1932.

ST. PAUL Remember that Minnesota Republican presidential primary ballot that only had Donald Trump’s name on it, despite other candidates running?
Looks like it was legal.
The United States Supreme Court on Monday, Feb. 22, declined to hear a challenge to the March Trump-only ballot, allowing it to stand. Before the primary, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that the Trump-only ballot was legal.
