The decision calls into question the legality of the closures and the city’s enforcement efforts.

A former Republican candidate running for an Indiana seat in the U.S. House of Representatives has been arrested and charged with stealing several election ballots during a recent voting machine test. Larry L. Savage Jr., a candidate in the Republican 5th District primary held earlier this year, was arrested Tuesday morning by Madison County authorities and charged with destroying/misplacing a ballot and theft. He has since been released on a $500 cash bond. A review of security footage, which was subsequently being live-streamed online, showed Savage handling the two missing ballots. He can also be heard confirming with an election official that these are “absolutely, totally real ballots.” In the video Savage can be seen looking around the room before folding up two ballots and putting them in his sweatshirt pocket.

So while PwC staff outside of Tampa were getting pink slips the week Milton was angrily swirling straight at the west coast of Florida, the firm made the decision not to fire people who were likely under evacuation orders from a once-in-a-lifetime hurricane. A tipster originally told us the week of the 7th that PwC would wait until the following Monday to axe Tampa staff but according to Tampa Bay Business Journal, cuts the Tampa office came last Thursday. This aligns with what we were told by our tipster who said PwC “dropped the axe” on October 21 and “destroyed Florida.”

People say having their possessions — from birth certificates to loved ones’ ashes — taken in “sweeps” traumatizes them, exacerbates health issues and undermines efforts to find housing and get or keep a job.

Thousands of Pennsylvania voters received a text message this weekend that falsely claimed that they had already voted in the Nov. 5 election. “Records show you voted,” the text read, linking them to an official Pennsylvania website with information about polling places and early voting. But the message did not come from an official government resource or a well-known get-out-the-vote advocacy group. Instead, it was signed by “AllVote,” a self-proclaimed voter-mobilization program that election officials have repeatedly flagged as a scam to be avoided and ignored. If “AllVote” sounds familiar, the name has been linked to other confusion-sowing text campaigns in the lead-up to the election. Montgomery County officials in August warned voters about “AllVote.com” that was texting registered voters and falsely claiming that they were not registered to vote — part of a scam to “capture personal, sensitive information from voters in an attempt to exploit them later on,” election commissioners said.

Ahead of the election, anti-government militias are using Facebook to recruit, coordinate training, and promote ballot box stakeouts. Meta isn’t shutting their groups down and is even auto-generating pages.

An actor known for roles in the animated series “Bob’s Burgers” and “Arrested Development” was sentenced Monday to a year and one day in prison for his connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

A candidate in the Boones Mill mayoral race said he believes the timing of his recent arrest is politically motivated. Donald “Whitey” Taylor was arrested Tuesday afternoon at the Trump Town USA store on Bethlehem Road, which he owns. He’s charged with three misdemeanor counts of assault and one count of indecent exposure. Taylor told WDBJ7 the three women who filed the criminal complaints against him all worked at his store.

At a five-star resort in California last week, Wall Street executives, fast-food CEOs, a few dozen other industry titans and two former presidents gathered for off-the-record conversations. One subject that inevitably came up, according to two people familiar with the matter: The possibility that former president Donald Trump could return to the White House. The gathering of the Business Council — an invitation-only association of chief executives — at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach in Dana Point was not supposed to be about the election, but some attendees wound up discussing how to protect themselves and their companies if Trump wins the presidency next week and tries to use the power of the Oval Office against his perceived enemies, said the people, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. At one event, former president Bill Clinton warned about the dangers Trump poses to democracy and the nation’s rule of law, while former president George W. Bush expressed concern about high tariff rates, which some attendees heard as a rebuke of Trump’s tariff plans, two of the people said. With the White House appearing increasingly up for grabs, and especially as polls have tightened, numerous billionaires and other leading executives have taken steps in recent months to stay out of the race — even if they had criticized Trump after the Capitol insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, calling his encouragement of the riot a threat to American democracy. Others who previously backed Democrats have stayed silent this election, which some critics and Trump supporters alike have interpreted as a peace offering to the GOP presidential nominee.

The Trump campaign’s rally in New York mirrored one in the 1930s that was openly supportive of Adolf Hitler —with two dangerous differences.

KATU was on the scene at Fisher's Landing Transit Center in Vancouver early Monday morning, where heavy smoke was seen coming from inside a dropoff ballot box. Our photographer captured grey smoke steadily billowing out of the Park and Ride ballot box at Fisher's Landing Transit Center near Southeast 162nd Avenue just after 6 a.m. Multiple police units were in the area, and the ballot box was cordoned off by police tape as it continued to smoke. Around 6:30 a.m., KATU captured footage of first responders releasing a pile of actively burning ballots onto the ground, which continued to smolder and smoke heavily even after the flames were put out. The Clark County elections auditor told us that the last ballot pickup at that location was 8 a.m. Sunday. Hundreds of ballots were inside at the time of the burning, and KATU was told there were maybe only a few that could be saved.

The case of Tua Tagovailoa marks the acceptance stage of widespread brain trauma in the sport. Tagovailoa’s third NFL concussion — or was it his fourth? And should we count the one he suffered in college? — provoked more pointed questions, but pretty much all of them were directed at him: “Isn’t it time to retire? Don’t you need to think of your wife and kids?” No one was asking what the NFL needed to do, or whether football had a future. “Those who said all this awareness would kill football were wrong,” Chris Nowinski, who has been a leading advocate on the issue of brain injuries in sports for nearly two decades, told me recently. “Football continues to be more popular in just about every measurable way.” It’s not because the problem has disappeared. A third of the way through this NFL season, dozens of players, on almost every team and at pretty much every position, have been concussed: With Tagovailoa at quarterback, you could almost field a playoff contender from the roster of concussed players alone. Lane Johnson, one of the league’s best offensive linemen, was spotted vomiting on the sideline after hitting his head. Malik Nabers, the New York Giants star rookie wide receiver, admitted that he couldn’t even remember the play that knocked him out last month. And these concussions represent just a sliver of the billion or so times this season that football players from elementary school to the pros will bang their heads in collisions big and small, many of which doctors say are just as likely to cause long-term brain damage as they accumulate. This week, Tagovailoa returned from “injured reserve” — a designation for players too hurt to come back on the field for at least a month — and gave a defiant press conference. He said he had not considered retirement this time, and the Dolphins hope he’ll be available to play against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. “I love this game,” Tagovailoa said. “And I love it to the death of me.” It wasn’t clear if Tagovailoa had considered the haunting implication of his comment, but the press conference summed up America’s decade-long transition from crisis to acceptance. We had plenty of questions for Tagovailoa. Why did we stop having questions about football itself?
