“We have a very fair, very responsibly managed elections,” says Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser. “[Tina Peters’] effort to cast doubt on that, it's not based in reality; it's based to serve some political cause.” Tina Peters served nearly two years behind bars for crimes related to breaching voting system security. She maintains she was trying to show flaws in the system. Tonight, 60 Minutes takes a closer look at Tina Peters’ case and its fallout.

In AZ, for many years, Republicans dominated early voting from wire to wire. They built the system and dominated it. It was only when Trump started to cast doubts on vote by mail that Dems started to lead in early returns. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to rewrite history.

Preemptively suing over results of an election that hasn’t happened yet does not suggest confidence that your preferred candidate is going to win.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration sues to block Alaska Senate race certification if Republican loses, citing candidate name confusion.

Regarding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, @LACaldwellDC says, "There is widespread belief on Capitol Hill that he will be impeached in November when the Congress comes back during the lame duck."

OF NOTE: DOJ observers are set to appear in Maricopa, Pima, Navajo, and Apache counties next month as part of the federal government's usual efforts to monitor the polls during major elections. See screenshots of the DOJ's email to state officials below. This all appears normal.

NEW: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes just filed a mandamus action, asking a judge to force Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap to carry out his "nondiscretionary duty to immediately restore the" voting rights of 23 people his office previously alleged were noncitizens.
UPDATE: Arizona Attorney General @AZAGMayes tells Maricopa County Recorder @RecordersOffice she is prepared to sue if his office does not reinstate voting rights to 24 Arizonans who were allegedly noncitizens—but were confirmed to be citizens by @Rachel1Mitchell. Expect action this week.

My heart is completely broken for the children, families, teachers, and entire Silver Rail Elementary community in Bend, Oregon today. Elementary school should be about jungle gyms, math class, and making new friends—not learning where to hide from a shooter. We cannot keep asking our children to be brave enough to survive school shootings. Our leaders must be brave enough to stop them.

“ONE OF THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE PLAYS YOU WILL EVER SEE BY A SHORTSTOP!” OTD 25 years ago, Derek Jeter came out of nowhere to cut off a throw from the outfield and nail the runner trying to score. The @Yankees, who were facing elimination, held on to win the game 1-0, then won the next two games to capture the series, and “The Flip” became one of the most legendary moments of The Captain’s career.
