Dear Editor:
My thanks to Charles Landis of Onancock for his response in the Dec. 25 issue of the ES Post on the subject of the Electoral College (EC). I would only point out that the sole purpose of the EC is to select the best persons for the offices...
Dear Editor:
We are bombarded everyday by the grim numbers regarding Covid. I do not think they are presented in the proper context. The state numbers should be presented in terms of cases per thousand of population, hospitalizations per thousand and deaths per thousand. Virginia has many more cases than...
Dear Editor:
In less than a month, the grifter/carnival barker who currently occupies the Oval Office will be leaving.
What he has done since losing the free and fair election in November (supported as such by his once-favorite lapdog Bill Barr) is to show that he (Trump) is the true enemy...

Dear Editor:
Kudos to Giovanni Rosanova and Arthur Leonard for stating the obvious to the Accomack School Board, our children need to be playing sports!!

Dear Editor:
This responds to the op-ed of Brian Bloedel, Eastern Shore Post. Dec. 18, 2020, “Electoral College is Broken.”
Word count policy of ES Post does not permit full response to Mr. Bloedel’s misunderstanding of founders intent, the Constitution, and the Electoral College. However, with penchant for pithiness, I suggest...
