A federal appeals court has blocked an Arizona law making it a felony to collect early ballots, a win for the Democratic get-out-the-vote effort shortly before Election Day.

Fox News' Judge Napolitano tore into FBI Director James Comey for injecting the FBI into the political process, informing Congress about Anthony Wiener's laptop, linking it to Hillary Clinton without any proof and violating his oath of office and due process. Judge told Fox News' Shep Smith, "There was absolutely no duty, obligation, or right for him to announce that the Clinton investigation had been opened."
White supremacist David Duke's appearance in Louisiana's final U.S. Senate debate ahead of next week's election derailed much of the event Wednesday, with opponents trashing him, the debate moderator struggling to keep him within time limits and angry protesters chanting outside the building.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is warning that electing rival Hillary Clinton could mire the country "in a constitutional crisis that we cannot afford."

The Justice Department discouraged the FBI from alerting Congress to the unexpected discovery of emails potentially related to its investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server, given the proximity to the presidential election and the potential for political fallout, a government official said.

WorldNetDaily is somewhere between desperate and disengaged when it comes to the election -- its tired attacks on Hillary are like so much poo flung at the wall and because nobody believes WND , none of what they're doing is sticking. First came an article by Corsi claiming that "experts" say that "Watergate pales in comparison," citing right-wing activist Thomas Lipscomb saying the undercover video investigation by James O'Keefe and the Wikileaks' publication of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's emails provide "ample proof of criminal activity that would have made both Donald Segretti and G. Gordon Liddy blush."

Patriot Majority USA issued a statement earlier this week claiming Gov. Mike Pence - and Donald Trump's vice presidential candidate, is using the Indiana State Police to suppress African-American voters. "This is not only voter suppression at its worst, it is an insult to all of the honest troopers in the state police, and to law-enforcement officials across the country, who disapprove of wasting precious crime-fighting resources on partisan witch hunts that further harm relations between police officers and minority communities," said Craig Varoga, President of Patriot Majority USA.
A judge on Friday dismissed a wrongful-death lawsuit by Newtown families against the maker of the rifle used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre, citing an embattled federal law that shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products. State Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis granted a motion by Remington Arms to strike the lawsuit by the families of nine children and adults killed and a teacher who survived the Dec. 14, 2012, school attack, in which a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six educators with a Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle made by Remington.
