I’m told there are more, there isn’t a 2020 Election top writer tag (yet). Please let us know of any missing.

Each Top Writer tag listed is a link to the search showing Top stories, Archive and Top writers. What is good is that (in Windows/Chrome) it creates the list in another tab, so, you can toggle between lists.
