Locked Out of Democracy? The War Over Open and Closed Primary Elections

Conversations around the primary election process in the United States continue to intensify, particularly around whether states should use open or closed primaries. A growing number of reform movements have pushed states with closed systems to consider opening participation to independents and unaffiliated voters.

Pesticides on Trial: Killing Weeds or Causing Cancer?

Pesticides are chemicals used in farming to protect crops from insects, weeds, and diseases. Some people are worried that certain pesticides may cause cancer or other health problems. A major court case involving Bayer, a major manufacturer of some of these pesticides, is now being argued in the Supreme Court. The case could decide if companies have to put cancer warnings on their products. The decision could affect farmers, consumers, and pesticide makers across the country by deciding how much information must be included on labels and who controls the rules.
