Several states are making late changes to election rules, even as voting is set to begin
SUMMARY: As the November election approaches, states are implementing new voting procedures. In Georgia and Arizona, election workers are required to hand-count ballots, potentially delaying results. In North Carolina, students may use digital IDs to vote, while Wisconsin sees the re-legalization of ballot drop boxes, though usage varies by community. Voting processes differ significantly across states, causing potential confusion among voters. Changes also affect mail-in ballots and registration, with Pennsylvania dealing with provisional ballot disputes. Georgia’s election board has also passed new vote certification rules, which have drawn legal challenges from Democrats.

Judge dismisses lawsuit seeking to protect dolphins along the Mississippi Gulf Coast
SUMMARY: A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit aimed at protecting dolphins along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, which arose after many dolphins were affected by the prolonged opening of the Bonnet Carre Spillway in 2019. The Mississippi Sound Coalition, which filed the civil complaint, was ruled not to have legal standing as they could not demonstrate imminent harm. The spillway’s operation helps manage flood risks but also introduces polluted freshwater into the Gulf, negatively impacting marine life. The judge noted that the plaintiffs failed to show evidence of harm during previous spillway openings, deeming future harm claims too speculative.
