The ruling comes as several Republican local election board members have already declined to certify election results from primary contests earlier this year and after the Georgia State Election Board passed new rules that appeared to allow this discretion.

Over the course of a few days in mid-September, posters cropped up in cities across Ohio. They are royal blue, teal, red and white with bold designs: a ballot box as a speaker, a dove carrying a banner, a hand picking a petal of a flower. And all of them have the same message: VOTE!

Europa Clipper is carrying nine science instruments, including two that will catch dust and gas, and a gravity experiment that uses telecommunications systems, the agency says. Weighing 13,000 pounds (almost half of which is fuel), Europa Clipper has 24 engines and is about the length of a basketball court when its solar arrays are open. The spacecraft is expected to reach Mars in February 2025 and swing back by Earth in 2026 to give Europa Clipper “enough energy to reach Jupiter” using the planets' gravity, NASA says.

Europa Clipper will make a six-year journey to Jupiter to study Europa, an icy-surfaced moon that scientists believe has “ingredients for life.”

This is the first time Harris, 59, has released results of a physical. Similar to reports released by previous commanders-in-chief, the two-page letter says that Harris is in excellent health and has “the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.” Harris told reporters traveling with her that every candidate for president had released medical information "except Donald Trump in this election cycle."

Vice President Harris' campaign is using the report to underscore the fact that she is younger than her Republican rival — who has not released much information about his health.

Kids as young as 15 were stripping on TikTok’s live feature fueled by adults who were paying for it. That’s what TikTok learned when it launched an internal investigation after a report on Forbes. Officials at TikTok discovered that there was “a high” number of underage streamers receiving a “gift” or “coin” in exchange for stripping — real money converted into a digital currency often in the form of a plush toy or a flower.

A trove of secret documents show teens’ increasing reliance on TikTok and how executives were acutely aware of the potential harm the app can cause young people, but appeared unconcerned.

With only weeks to a divisive election it can be hard to talk politics. Polarization can damage our relationships and our health. We have strategies to reduce election stress, starting with ourselves.

While AAPI voters have overwhelmingly voted blue in the past, they haven’t been strongly tied to a specific party, which means they are persuadable targets. But once engaged in politics, Asian American voters tend to stay engaged.

This presidential campaign, former President Donald Trump and other Republicans have been repeating the false narrative that Democrats are purposefully letting migrants into the country so they will vote. There’s no evidence for the claim, which echoes a racist conspiracy theory known as the "great replacement." In fact, allegations about voter fraud and noncitizens have been floating around American politics for more than a century.

All the available evidence suggests that a miniscule number of noncitizens vote illegally in federal elections and not in numbers that would sway the outcome of any race.

To fully appreciate how far the Cuyahoga has come, you have to understand its troubled history. For many decades, it was a dumping ground for industrial waste from the region’s factories. By the 1960s, it had become “a completely unregulated sewer,” says Elaine Marsh, the president and co-founder of Friends of the Crooked River.

The plight of the river, which empties into Lake Erie at Cleveland, helped inspire the Clean Water Act. Now it attracts kayakers and anglers and could soon be removed from an EPA watchlist.
