It's a much stronger performance than the $6.8 million Kemp collected in the two months ended June 30, pushing his total raised to nearly $60 million.

The Walker campaign also reported a massive fundraising haul that coincided with the latest allegations. In Pennsylvania, Republican Senate nominee Mehmet Oz faced difficult new questions this week raised by a Washington Post article about the medical products he endorsed as a daytime television star. “Senate Republicans had a very bad start to October, but we know each of our races will be tight and we’re going to keep taking nothing for granted,” said Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, who leads the Senate Democrats' campaign arm. “It would be so refreshing to have somebody just tell the truth.”Veteran Democratic strategist Josh Schwerin warned his party against writing off the Georgia Republican.

Many jurisdictions opted for electronic voting machines to replace their punch-card ballot systems. These claims have largely centered on Dominion Voting Systems, one of a handful of companies that dominate the U.S. voting technology market. But rather than dissipate, conspiracies surrounding voting machines have only grown. That includes designating U.S. voting systems in 2017 as "critical infrastructure" -- on par with the nation's banks, dams and nuclear power plants. And Michigan authorities are investigating after voting equipment in a handful of counties was made accessible to unauthorized people.

The question now is whether Herschel Walker, Republican candidate in Georgia for the U.S. Senate, has tripped over that line. But Walker's son Christian Walker, a conservative with a large audience on social media, told his more than 200,000 followers on Twitter that Herschel Walker was a hypocrite and a liar.

The Daily Beast spoke to a woman who said Walker paid for her abortion when they were dating. The woman said Walker encouraged her to end the pregnancy, saying that the time wasn't right for a baby, The Daily Beast reported.

A federal judge has ruled against a Stacey Abrams group and sided with the state of Georgia saying the state's voting practices are constitutional.

“She put herself in the political spotlight nationally, potentially globally, all over the narrative that she lost the governor’s race because of voter suppression. They argue that Trump's claims about voter fraud in 2020 and Abrams' claims about voter suppression in 2018 both corrode faith in democracy. “Stolen election and voter suppression claims by Stacey Abrams were nothing but poll-tested rhetoric not supported by facts and evidence," Raffensperger said Friday in a statement. "However, the battle for voter empowerment over voter suppression persists, and the cause of voter access endures. Georgia voters are well aware of voter suppression efforts, very attuned to it, and Black voters are really mobilized by the issue."

When Democrat Stacey Abrams narrowly lost the Georgia governor's race to Republican Brian Kemp four years ago, she didn’t go quietly. Abrams founded Fair Fight Action, a group focused on fair elections, which within weeks filed a wide-ranging federal lawsuit alleging “gross mismanagement” of Georgia’s elections.

The mass exodus of Russian men — alone or with their families or friends — began Sept. 21, shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the partial call-up of reservists. Over 194,000 Russians had entered Kazakhstan, Georgia and Finland by Tuesday. Georgia saw fewer Russians entering, too: only 6,109 between Thursday and Friday, compared to 9,642 between Wednesday and Thursday, the country's Interior Ministry reported. The Kremlin has said it plans to call-up some 300,000 people, but Russian media reported that the number could be as high as 1.2 million, a claim that Russian officials have denied. They also set up several draft offices at border checkpoints, threatening to serve call-up papers to those seeking to leave.

Fewer Russians have crossed into neighbouring countries in recent days, according to local authorities, despite persisting anxiety over the partial mobilization the Kremlin launched less than two weeks ago to bolster its forces fighting in Ukraine.

“Although Georgia's election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the VRA,” U.S. District Judge Steve Jones in Atlanta wrote, referring to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The lawsuit was filed in November 2018, just weeks after Abrams narrowly lost the governor's race to Republican Brian Kemp. “This is a voting rights case that resulted in wins and losses for all parties over the course of the litigation and culminated in what is believed to have been the longest voting rights bench trial in the history of the Northern District of Georgia,” Jones wrote. Instead, he said, the evidence showed that in many cases problems were resolved quickly once state officials were contacted. “The answer is no.”The plaintiffs argued that the state officials are responsible for training county election officials on the process for canceling absentee ballots.

A growing number of U.S. hospitals own urgent care centers, which limit who they treat for medical — and financial — reasons.

The concern is especially acute when it comes to Black men, who some analysts suggest have trickled recently to Republicans. “If Black men turn out in the numbers and support me at the levels they’re capable of, I can win this election, because we know Black men sometimes punch below their weight class," Abrams said at the event. Strong turnout among white voters meant Black voters accounted for 27% of that electorate, with VoteCast showing that Biden won 92% of the Black vote. Yet in these and other elections, a significantly larger share of Black women voted than Black men. But Wright Rigueur said former President Barack Obama maxed out support from Black men, drawing some Black Republicans who've since moved back toward the GOP.

Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is trying to solidify support and boost turnout by Black men in her governor's race against incumbent Republican Brian Kemp.

COLUMBUS, Ga. — Three Georgia women and an Alabama man pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring to defraud the U.S. Department of Education’s federal financial aid programs of millions of dollars. Each woman faces up to 20 years in prison on each of the conspiracy and wire fraud charges and five years each in prison on each of the financial aid fraud charges, WSB reported. Meanwhile, Leo Thomas pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, the TV station reported. The schemers then completed financial aid applications in the fake students’ names, completed the fake students’ homework and exams, served as teachers and manipulated grade requirements so that the nonexistent students could continue qualifying for federal financial aid. The foursome then either stole the fake students’ financial aid refund checks outright or required the bogus students to hand over at least a portion of those aid checks once they were cashed, the DOJ stated.
