...absentee ballot in Los Angles, for example, costs 41 cents, whereas in some counties in Florida, returning the ballot by mail costs $1.14.

The EU is not just an international organization. It is a supranational organization, which requires members to sacrifice some sovereignty for a share...
...topic of Hillary Clinton will come up, and [Royal’s] insights into American and French politics and what differences or similarities exist will be instructive,” said Patricia H. Craig, the executive director for the Center for European Studies (CES). Royal, who will be visiting through a collaboration between Harvard and MIT, will be hosting two undergraduate seminars on gender in politics and the effort to rebuild the European Left. She will also be giving a talk at MIT on higher education and host a forum at the Institute of Politics next Thursday on French economic...
