The Civil War raged and fortune-seekers hunted for gold. This era produced Arizona's abortion ban
The near-total abortion ban resurrected last week by the Arizona Supreme Court dates to 1864, a time when gold-seekers were moving in, dueling had to be regulated and settlers were increasingly encroaching on tribal lands.
At Sturgis, Trump supporters look to turn bikers into voters
Chris Cox, the founder of Bikers for Trump, examines his motorcycle on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020, outside the Bikers for Trump trailer he brought to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, in Sturgis, S.D. While many have come to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for some combination of riding and partying, Cox's focus is on something else: voting. To make his appeal, Cox enlisted scantily-clad female bartenders to join his nightly Trump rallies atop bars at One Eyed Jack's Saloon. More recently, he has enlisted bikers to give Amish and Mennonite Trump supporters motorcycle rides to rallies in Pennsylvania. Since the last election, Cox has tried to build Bikers for Trump into a political machine, registering a political action committee.
