| We've finally made it to Election Day. After months of pontification and predictions, the country will soon know what voters want. |
| If the polls have been anywhere close to accurate, Republicans are in for a good night. Voters have consistently said that inflation and the economy – shortly followed by crime and immigration – are their leading issues, and Republican candidates have most directly led on those concerns. |
| Democrats, on the other hand, have remained solely focused on scaring citizens about how the Democratic Party is the only hope of saving women's bodies and democracy. I think this will prove a losing message. |

| In my current state of Michigan and my home state of Oregon, the Republican candidates for governor – Tudor Dixon and Christine Drazan, respectively – are running much closer races than anyone predicted. As white suburban women and independents – two key voting blocs – have switched their support to the GOP in recent weeks, this could help push Republicans to victory. |
| In my latest column, I spoke with Michigan's Dixon about the final days of her campaign and what she was hearing from voters – and it wasn't about abortion or democracy. |
| If Democrats lose to a red wave, it's because they ignored what voters were telling them. |
