Whatever odd reasons might
cause the Democrats to lose big in today’s election, the White
House wants to make clear that it’s most assuredly
not because of them.- Citizens of Guam today voted to
legalize medical marijuana there. They are the first U.S.
territory to do so. - A Russian member of the Taliban
captured in Afghanistan is the first detainee to be brought to
the United States to stand trial. - Mexican police have captured the fugitive ex-mayor blamed for
the
disappearance of 43 student teachers that are believed to have
been murdered. - Supreme Court justices appear sympathetic that
whistleblower protections should apply to an air marshal who
exposed to the media a lack of security on certain long-distance
flights. - Reminder: After polls close today, we will be using our
Reason 24/7 newsfeed and our
Reason 24/7 Twitter
account to help folks keep track of pivotal midterm election
results.
