BREAKING: In a win for voters, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled to allow certain Americans living abroad to vote in state elections. The decision marks a blow to Republicans' nationwide effort to push claims of ineligible voters casting ballots in U.S. elections.

Get the feeling the White House's problems go beyond the press secretary www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Internal GOP polling shows that support for Republican candidates cratered after the party’s midterm convention in Dallas, with voters saying the party was not attuned to their economic concerns, according to a Republican strategist briefed on the numbers. Rather than campaigning extensively in September, Trump spent much of the month hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House and working on his construction projects, including a new White House helipad and his proposed ballroom.
