ATLANTA, GEORGIA - Another voter rights lawsuit is in motion in Georgia, this one explicitly targeting mail-in ballots.
On Tuesday, the Coalition for Good Governance filed suit against secretary of state, and gubernatorial candidate, Brian Kemp, as well as each member of the state's Board of Elections and each member of Gwinnett County's board of elections.
SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - Many Californians have already received their 2018 midterm ballots by mail. It's important to note for anyone casting a ballot in advance or who will go to the polls on November 6 that there are two cards to vote, and both are front and back.
Card A has the candidates for elections on the federal, state, and local levels. The front of the card includes top-ticket races for:
Yesterday, CNN hosted it’s latest series “Pulse of the People.” The panel highlighted disgruntled independent voters who previously supported Donald Trump but were now regretting their decision.

This is the “Pulse of the People,” according to CNN. Only problem is, CNN fished for the very pulse they wanted to promote.
How do we know? Because the billion-dollar news empire asked us, a small non-profit digital news website, to help them find independent voters who “no longer support the President.”
Ted Metz, Georgia Libertarian Candidate for Governor:
"If a vote for the Libertarian is really a vote for the Democrat, and some people would argue it's really a vote for the Republican, then that must mean a libertarian vote is worth three votes!"
During an exclusive IVN interview with Ted Metz, the Libertarian Party candidate for Governor in Georgia, Ted talked ballot access and voting rights, as well as some of the issues in the Georgia race.
Here's what he had to say:
BALTIMORE, MD. - Last week, it was the Albuquerque Journal. This week, it is the Baltimore Sun. It seems election reform is on the mind of a number of editorial boards just weeks before the midterm elections. It must be a sign of the times.
It is getting increasingly harder to ignore the presence of independent voters in the registered voting population and elections -- particularly their exclusion from critical stages of the elections process.
SANTA FE, N.M. - Being a beacon for the dispossessed has defined our nation since its inception. Our democracy used to uplift people around the world. It made all of us proud. That we’ve lost that stature diminishes each of us. We can’t directly address the dysfunction of our national dialogue. But we can reinvigorate the dialogue we have with each other in New Mexico.
FRESNO, CALIF. -The plan: cover one of the most destitute tracts of California’s poorest major city with a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and watch dust turn to dollars.
But soon, funding for the project known as Running Horse evaporated. Debt ballooned.
Across the continent, Donald Trump smelled opportunity. He wooed city officials, and talked big — really big — about how he’d save Running Horse, schedule a PGA Tour event and transform Southwest Fresno right along with it.
San Diego, CALIF.- Dan Walters is a columnist for CALmatters, and has been writing about California politics for more than 50 years.
This upcoming election will chart the next course for California in many ways. From governor, to U.S. Senate and the first ever NPP candidate for Insurance Commissioner in Steve Poizner, Walters is a great source for information on what will likely happen come November 6th.
LANSING, MICH. - Michigan’s congressional districts rank among the most gerrymandered in the country. In fact, a new project providing historical data on gerrymandering identifies Michigan’s congressional districts as “more skewed than 95 percent of the enacted plans ... analyzed nationwide.”
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - Election security was once a niche topic, but after the DNC revealed that its computers had been penetrated by Russian hackers in the Summer of 2016, it has entered the mainstream awareness as an urgent matter of national import.
During this time of heightened scrutiny to safeguard against foreign interference in U.S. elections, the choice of a foreign tech company with a dubious past and strong ties to the Venezuelan government to overhaul LA County's antiquated voting system may seem odd.
