More than 435 voters in Davidson County, Tennessee, cast their mail-in ballots in the districts, prompting election officials to verify each person’s constituency and registration data to provide correct provisional ballots through Tuesday.

A court in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, has dismissed a lawsuit that would have prevented voters from knowing their mail-in ballots had been rejected.
The Monroe County Republican Committee filed a lawsuit Nov. 4, alleging that the county violated state law by pre-counting mail-in and mail-in ballots that are intended to “remain in personal custody” until the election.

“I also believe that granting the injunction at that time one day before the election would cause more harm than denying it,” Zulick wrote in the ruling.
He added that since it was presented 4 days before the election, the electoral council had already “informed 150 to 175 voters that their ballots were canceled and after they were presented with the opportunity to vote who would count. “

We are writing as the Arizona Republican delegation to Congress to call on our constituents and the entire Arizona electorate to vote for Blake Masters in the U. S. Senate. U. S. As the scenario along our southern border continues to deteriorate, we want someone in the U. S. Senate. with us to secure the border and the protection of all Arizonans.
Like you, we are disappointed and frustrated that the administration of President Joe Biden and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) has done nothing to secure our border, doing everything they can to catch more immigrants to come here illegally.

Instead of employing his influence in the 50th Senate vote to protect the border, Kelly continuously voted in favor of Biden’s open border policies. He voted against hiring more border agents. He voted against the extension of Title 42. He voted against the deportation of criminal extraterrestrial beings convicted of crimes, and even voted to send a stimulus budget to illegal immigrants.

R-NH Gov. Chris Sununu said Sunday that former President Donald Trump to run for president in 2024 before Christmas would be a “terrible idea. “
The centrist governor said he expects other people to need a pause in election talks after Tuesday’s midterm elections, when asked about reports that Trump could announce a run in the coming weeks.
