Trump Comes Up Empty When Pressed for Evidence of Election Fraud in Court (DonkeyHotey)
The author writes, “President Donald Trump’s campaign, ordered by a federal court judge in Pennsylvania to back up its claims of fraud in the state’s vote-by-mail system, has documented only a handful of cases of election fraud in recent years — none of which involved mail-in ballots. The revelation, which came in the form of a partially redacted 524-page document produced by the Trump campaign last week, undermines the claim by Trump team operatives that mail-in ballot fraud is a grave risk to Pennsylvania voters.”

The problem is that millions of millennials and members of Generation Z may not be able to afford those homes, or they may not want them, opting for smaller homes in walkable communities instead of distant suburbs.”
Exonerated One-Legged Woman Settles Wrongful Conviction Lawsuit (Dana)
The author writes, “For years, Susan King maintained she could not possibly have killed Kyle Breeden and thrown his body into the Kentucky River, in part because she has one leg and no prosthetic.

Now, five years after the Spencer County woman filed a wrongful conviction lawsuit against KSP, the case was dismissed in U.S. District Court earlier this month after the department agreed to pay her $750,000 in damages.”
