On a single day, two distinct expressions of democratic accountability unfold in parallel: voters in six states enter polling places to determine who will carry their parties forward, while in Washington a cabinet official sits before Congress to answer for how the nation's chief law enforcement agency spends its power and its money. These are not unrelated rituals — both are moments when the governed assert their claim over those who govern. The results of each will quietly shape what comes next.
