| Trump says it's not 'fair' that votes are counted after Election Day Posted: 01 Nov 2020 06:48 PM PST  President Trump on Sunday decried the fact that votes will be counted after Election Day, telling reporters in North Carolina that his lawyers will immediately begin challenging ballots cast in certain states."I don't think it's fair we have to wait for a long period of time after the election," Trump said. "Should've gotten their ballots in a long time before that. Could've gotten their ballots in a month ago. I think it's a ridiculous decision."Because so many states have expanded early and mail-in voting due to the coronavirus pandemic, it will likely take longer than normal for each state to count every ballot. It's a tight race in several battleground states, like Florida and Ohio, and Trump said he thinks it's "terrible" that absentee votes will be counted in Pennsylvania and North Carolina after the polls close, claiming there's "great danger to it."Trump also denied an Axios report earlier Sunday that he plans on declaring victory on Tuesday night if he appears to be leading, and will claim ballots counted later are illegitimate. Democrats have expressed concern that Trump will prematurely declare victory if he is ahead on Tuesday night, and their fears were enhanced on Sunday when Trump surrogate Jason Miller claimed on This Week that if more blue votes come in after midnight, it's a Democratic attempt to "steal" the election.Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox (R) called Miller's allegation "garbage," and clarified that "elections are never decided on election night. In Utah (and most states) it takes two weeks to finalize counting and certify results. It really doesn't matter who is ahead on election night, it only matters when every eligible vote is counted and each county canvasses and certifies their vote totals."Presidential historian Michael Beschloss also tweeted that Americans "did not know the presidential winner for certain before midnight on election nights in 1960, 1968, 1976, 2000, 2004, 2016. No one should pretend there would be anything historically unusual if that happens again in 2020."More stories from theweek.com COVID-19 keeps proving everyone wrong Is this the year the New South turns blue?

| Local Police Say Biden Staffer May Have Been ‘At Fault’ in ‘Trump Train’ Highway Incident Posted: 02 Nov 2020 02:14 PM PST  Local police in Texas said over the weekend that the vehicle of a Joe Biden staffer may be "at fault" in a minor collision that occurred during an incident where Trump supporters in trucks surrounded and followed a Biden campaign bus.The incident occurred on I-35 in Hays County and involved a Biden staffer's white SUV making contact with a Trump supporter's black truck.The San Marcos Police Department, which is handling any potential police reports on the crash, said it has researched the collision and watched footage of the incident online."The at-fault vehicle may be the white SUV and the victim appears to be the black truck," the police department said in a statement."Calls to the driver of the white SUV have gone unanswered and SMPD has not been contacted by the driver of the black truck. Since SMPD has not spoken to either driver at this time, additional investigation would be required to fully ascertain who was at fault," the department said.The police department also said the Biden bus requested a police escort, but due to traffic police were not able to reach the campaign bus before it exited the jurisdiction.Katie Naranjo, chair of the Travis County Democratic Party said in a tweet that Trump supporters followed the Biden bus through central Texas "to intimidate Biden supporters.""They ran into a person's car, yelling curse words and threats. Don't let bullies win, vote," she wrote.The Biden campaign also condemned the group of Trump supporters, accusing them of endangering those close to the campaign."Rather than engage in productive conversation about the drastically different visions that Joe Biden and Donald Trump have for our country, Trump supporters in Texas instead decided to put our staff, surrogates, supporters, and others in harm's way," said Tariq Thowfeek, the Biden campaign's Texas communications director.President Trump on Saturday tweeted a video that appears to show his supporters surrounding the bus along with the words "I LOVE TEXAS!"The nonpartisan Cook Political Report on Wednesday moved the presidential race in Texas from "lean Republican" to "toss up." Trump is up by one point in the state as of Tuesday, a day before the election, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls.

| 'I'm surprised I was not caught,' says South Korea's most notorious serial killer in court hearing Posted: 02 Nov 2020 04:17 AM PST  A man who has confessed to being one of South Korea's most prolific serial killers has told a court in the city of Suwon that he was surprised he had not been not caught earlier. Lee Chun-jae, 57, was appearing in court on Monday for the retrial of a man who was wrongly convicted of one of Lee's killings, serving 20 years in prison for the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl in 1988. The man, Yoon Sung-yeo, was released in 2008 but is appealing to have his conviction quashed. He alleges - and police have admitted - that he was coerced into making a false confession in the death of the girl as police struggled to identify the perpetrator of a series of killings attributed to "the Hwaseong Strangler." Lee told the court that he murdered 14 women and girls around the city of Hwaseong between 1986 and 1991, Yonhap News reported. All the victims were discovered bound, gagged, raped and, in most cases, strangled with an item of their own clothing, usually their underwear. His first victim was 71 years old and two other victims were 14.

| Sanders Urges ‘Squad’ to ‘Make Sure Biden Becomes the Most Progressive President Since FDR’ Posted: 02 Nov 2020 12:01 PM PST  Senator Bernie Sanders said in an interview with Democratic congresswomen that progressives must work to ensure Joe Biden becomes the most progressive president in decades, emphasizing that "we are not giving up on our agenda.""We understand that electing Biden is not the end all, it is the beginning," Sanders said in an interview with the four freshman progressive congresswomen known as the "Squad," Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar."Our first task, we've got to defeat the worst president in the modern history of this country and number two, we organize our people to make sure that Biden becomes the most progressive president since FDR," the independent senator from Vermont continued.> Some people ask what an old Jewish white guy has in common with young women of color like @AOC, @AyannaPressley, @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib.> > We understand each other. We come from working class backgrounds. And we're going to go forward together. pic.twitter.com/bANr9KbkmA> > -- Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) October 31, 2020Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, applauded the congresswomen and said that their work pushing for the Democratic Party to embrace more progressive policies is evident in the evolution of Biden's platform."I think as a result of the work that all of you have done, Biden's proposals in this campaign are a lot stronger than they were in the primary," Sanders said. "Do they go as far as we would want? No they don't."Sanders cited Biden's health care plan, saying that while Biden's proposals are a step in the right direction, the "only way" every individual will ultimately have access to quality, affordable health care is through Medicare for All.Sanders vowed that progressives in Congress would also continue to advance their agenda on criminal justice, immigration, and the multi-trillion dollar Green New Deal because "we're have got to be bolder than ever before in tackling climate change."He also took a shot at President Trump during the interview, saying that unlike the president, Biden "does not conceive of himself as a dictator."Sanders was the runner up in the last two Democratic presidential primaries, losing the nomination to Hillary Clinton in 2016 and again to Biden earlier this year. He is rumored to have expressed interest in the position of Secretary of Labor in a future Biden cabinet.

Pascal Affi N'Guessan, one of the top opposition candidates who later boycotted the vote, said late Monday that Henri Konan Bedie, the country's 86-year-old former president, would head up a council of transition.

| After man saves girl from drowning, family shows appreciation by helping pay for his wedding Posted: 01 Nov 2020 10:24 PM PST  Samantha Whiting wanted to show her appreciation for the man who saved her daughter this summer when she was caught in a riptide, and although she only knew his first name and where he lived, Whiting was determined to track him down.The incident occurred in August, when Whiting and her 10-year-old daughter, Hayley, were at the beach in Monterey, California. Samantha went into the water to try to save her daughter, but was struggling. Bystander Kevin Cozzi heard their screams, and raced into the waves to help. He was able to get Hayley to safety, with some assistance from a lifeguard. "He saved us," Samantha told ABC30. "If it wasn't for him coming to grab her from me, there's no way we both would have made it."The Whitings only learned Kevin's first name and that he lived in Merced, California. They were visiting Monterey, and when they returned to their home in Texas, the family decided to find Cozzi so they could once again let him know how grateful they were for his help. "He's one of the biggest heroes I've ever met," Hayley said. Last week, Samantha made a post on the Facebook group Merced Neighborhood Watch, and within hours, she was talking to Cozzi.Cozzi and his fiancée had to postpone their wedding because of the coronavirus pandemic, and the Whitings decided to launch a GoFundMe to help them have the wedding of their dreams. Both Samantha and Hayley have been invited to the wedding, set for next fall, and look forward to once again thanking Cozzi in person. He is thankful for their fundraiser, but told ABC30, "That girl being saved was enough for me."More stories from theweek.com COVID-19 keeps proving everyone wrong Is this the year the New South turns blue?

| Buying a Gun Ahead of the Election Won't Make You More Powerful.

The reality is that those guns are more likely to be used by us to commit suicide (in the U.S. nearly two-thirds of all gun deaths are due to suicide, and access to a gun triples the risk of death by suicide); to hurt the people we love when arguments get out of hand (more than half of women killed by an intimate partner are killed with a gun, and access to a gun makes it five times more likely a domestic abuser will kill his female victim); to kill our children (firearms are a leading cause of death for children and teens), or to be raised against the rare assailant only for us to miss or hit unintended targets.

| Final Polls before Election Show Biden with National Lead, but Battleground States Tightening Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:58 AM PST  Final polls of the presidential race before election day give Joe Biden a commanding lead nationwide, but with gaps narrowing in some key battleground states.With two days remaining until the elections, some pollsters are still urging caution about certainty of a Democratic win despite Biden's lead over President Trump. The president's shock victory in 2016 has contributed to unease about current survey results."This election is probably the most competitive 10-point race I've seen," Republican pollster Bill McInturff told the Wall Street Journal.McInturff and Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt conducted the final election poll for the Journal and NBC News, in which respondents broke for Biden 52-42. A Fox News survey released on Saturday showed a similar result, with Biden leading 52-44.Polls of battleground states are more varied in their findings, however. Biden leads Trump by 47-44 in Florida and 49-43 in Pennsylvania and Arizona, according to a final pre-election New York Times/Siena College poll. (The same survey gave Biden an eleven-point lead in Wisconsin.)However, Trump holds a 50-48 lead over Biden in Florida according to a different survey by the Washington Post and ABC News, with pollsters calling the Florida election a "toss-up." The Post and ABC poll also found that Biden leads Trump 49-45 among all registered voters in Pennsylvania.Biden was scheduled to campaign in Pennsylvania on Sunday in an attempt to win over that state's 20 electoral votes. Biden, who has stopped in Michigan and Wisconsin during the final stretch of his campaign, appears to be attempting to win back Democratic strongholds that flipped to support Trump in the 2016 elections.The president, campaigning in Michigan on Sunday, has countered by portraying himself as better for American manufacturing industries. Trump has also highlighted Biden's comments on ending fracking in an attempt to appeal to Pennsylvania voters.

| Mini November heat wave will send temps soaring Posted: 02 Nov 2020 09:31 AM PST  A major warmup is on the way for the Midwest and northeastern United States following a dose of winter weather that suppressed temperatures 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit below average on Monday. Forecasters say the pattern switch will soon allow temperatures to rebound by 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit from chilly early-week levels. Mother Nature is about to give anyone who is not yet ready for the onset of winter a little throwback to early fall in the form of a mini November heat wave. The upcoming pleasant weather pattern will allow people more time to rake leaves and prep homes and vehicles for winter - and even challenge a high-temperature record or two in places. On the other hand, winter lovers may need to put freshly-waxed skis off to the side for a couple more weeks. The recent blast of wintry weather can be blamed on the jet stream, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. A sharp southward dip in the jet stream allowed cold air to empty southward from Canada and spill across the Great Lakes and Northeast states in two waves from Friday through Monday. CLICK HERE FOR THE FREE ACCUWEATHER APP Snow coats the leaves on a tree in the Public Garden, Friday, Oct. 30, 2020, in Boston. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) That jet stream will begin to retreat over the Northeast on Election Day. By then, temperatures will already be on the rebound in the Midwest and parts of the central Appalachians. During the middle and latter part of this week, the jet stream will flatten out and take on a more west to east configuration across the northern tier of the nation. During early November, the jet is usually set up from west to east, but also hundreds of miles farther to the south than where it is positioned in October. "When the jet stream is forecast to be near the Canada border, big southward intrusions of cold air are unlikely and warmth is able to expand northward from the Southern states," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson. On Wednesday, highs are forecast to range from the middle 60s in Minneapolis and near 50 in Boston to the middle 60s in Chicago and Washington, D.C. The warmup will become even more significant across the Central and Eastern states by next weekend as the jet stream is projected to retreat even farther to the north. "The setup for the weekend will allow very warm air for early November to build over much of the Central and Eastern states and even into part of south-central and southeastern Canada," Anderson said. Afternoon temperatures may approach 70 in Chicago and Washington, D.C., and may climb well into the 60s in New York City and Boston on Saturday. Normal highs are in the mid-50s in Chicago and Boston, the low 60s in D.C., and the upper 50s in New York City during early November. The high temperature could even challenge the record daily high of 72 set back in 1874 in Minneapolis, where normal highs this time of year are around 50. The unusual warmth will arrive after Minneapolis residents experienced a taste of winter. The city picked up 9.3 inches of snowfall in late October, a month that normally brings just 0.6 of an inch. For the month of October, the city picked up 1,550% of normal snowfall. Temperatures will reach even higher across areas farther to the south. In the South Central and Southeastern states, highs in the 70s will be widespread with temperatures topping out near 80 degrees along the Gulf Coast. Atlanta's normal highs are in the upper 60s and New Orlean's average highs for early November are in the mid-70s. It is possible that colder air and perhaps a return to winterlike conditions may transpire later next weekend to the second week of November over parts of the Central states, but warmth may hold on for several more days in the East during the second week of November. Record high temperatures in the Northeast are generally in the 70s over the region with some records in the lower 80s around the Chesapeake Bay. It may be possible for some record highs to be challenged in the Northeast next week. As warmth congregates in the East next week, activity in the tropics may warrant some concern for part of the Southeastern states either due to Eta or a spinoff off Eta.
