Many states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.

A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

⭕️ Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf described why Tehran abruptly walked out of talks with the U.S. delegation in Switzerland:

“Naturally, we entered the meeting room and began our discussions. The talks were going well. There was no dispute. We were almost at the end of the discussions and preparing to move into the second phase when I realized that, during the very time we were negotiating, Trump had made highly threatening remarks directed at both our negotiating delegation and our president, and had also threatened to attack our country.

Right there, I told Mr. Vance: “Mr. Vance, we are here negotiating, and we have already signed Article One of this agreement that says there must be no threats or coercion. But today your president used threats and coercion. You should know that we never negotiate under threats or coercion.”
We ended the negotiations and walked out of the meeting. We did not return. We even rejected a proposed meeting with the American delegation in the presence of the mediators. We left the session.

However, Pakistan’s prime minister,  Shehbaz Sharif, who was serving as a mediator, along with the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, came to speak with me. We discussed the situation. They had some points to raise, and we told them, “We will talk with you, but we will not speak with the American delegation more right now.”

Therefore, we reviewed and finalized what had been discussed during the previous 80 minutes. That summary became the statement later issued by our two mediators, Qatar and Pakistan.”
