Letters: The Indians fought back

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2002

Ed.Note: The following editorial ran on November 14 on the Wall Street Journal editorial page.

"Happy simply to have regained Senate control, Republicans are letting Mr. [John] Thune walk away from an election challenge, much as John Ashcroft did in 2000. But the world should know that Democrats won at least two seats in highly suspicious, if not crooked, fashion. First they changed the election rules in New Jersey to throw Bob Torricelli over the side once he fell behind in the polls. And now we have Tim Johnson's miraculously large and last-minute Oglala Sioux turnout. And the Democrats still lost the Senate."
