Podcasts about Election day

Laura Starcher and her friends were fed up with the halfhearted, desultory service they were getting from city government. So they got organized, ran for all the public offices, and won ... much to the chagrin of the defeated mayor: Starcher's husband. (Umatilla, Umatilla County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1903d.umatilla-petticoat-revolution-540.html)

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On this episode, we welcome longtime Johns Creek resident and community advocate Arthur Holst, who joins the show to make the case for the proposed performing arts center that voters will decide on this November. As Election Day approaches, Johns Creek residents are weighing a bond referendum that would fund the construction of a new performing arts center — a project that has sparked significant debate about cost, vision, and the city's priorities. Holst, one of the leading voices supporting the initiative, lays out why he believes the arts center represents a transformative investment in the city's future. In our conversation, we explore the potential economic and cultural benefits of the project and how the arts center fits into Johns Creek's long-term goals for community development and identity. Holst also addresses common concerns raised by opponents and explains why he thinks this is the right moment for Johns Creek to take a bold step toward becoming a true destination for the arts in North Fulton.

Fresh off dropping his reelection campaign, Mayor Eric Adams went on an unexpected trip to Albania. Back home, the three remaining major mayoral candidates marked the anniversary of Oct. 7, while former Gov. Andrew Cuomo surprised many by reversing course on his earlier support for closing Rikers Island. NY1's investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli break down another eventful week in the race for mayor. Later, as we head into the final stretch before Election Day, the “Off Topic” team begins taking a closer look at the leading candidates and what they're proposing for New York City.

A case in which the Court will decide whether federal candidates have Article III standing to challenge state election laws that extend the deadline for receiving and counting mail-in ballots beyond Election Day when they allege vote dilution and increased campaign costs from monitoring extended ballot counting.

Bost v. IL Bd. of Elections | 10/08/25 | Docket #: 24-568 24-568 BOST V. ILLINOIS BOARD OF ELECTIONS DECISION BELOW: 114 F.4th 634 CERT. GRANTED 6/2/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: Federal law sets the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November as the federal Election Day. 2 U.S.C. §§ 1 and 7; and 3 U.S.C. § 1. Several states, including Illinois, have enacted state laws that allow ballots to be received and counted after Election Day. Petitioners contend these state laws are preempted under the Elections and Electors Clauses. Petitioners sued to enjoin Illinois' law allowing ballots to be received up to fourteen days after Election Day. The sole question presented here is whether Petitioners, as federal candidates, have pleaded sufficient factual allegations to show Article III standing to challenge state time, place, and manner regulations concerning their federal elections. LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 23-2644

Edwin Cruz Gomez, of Uniondale, Queens is charged with murder and attempted murder after prosecutors say he intentionally drove his SUV into a family, killing a sixteen year old girl.

But as WNYC's Samantha Max reports, it can be hard to find information about judicial candidates. Also, the Yankees live to play another day after rallying from a six to one deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays nine to six, forcing Game 4 tonight in the Bronx.

The Supreme Court is gearing up for one of its most consequential cases involving Donald Trump, and the timeline is moving at breakneck speed. Just over a month ago, on September 4th, Trump's legal team filed a petition asking the nation's highest court to review a decision from the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. The case, officially titled Donald J. Trump, President of the United States versus V.O.S. Selections, Incorporated, represents a fascinating legal battleground that's captured national attention.What makes this case particularly striking is how quickly the Supreme Court acted. Within days of the petition being filed, Trump's attorneys submitted a motion asking the Court to expedite everything - the review process, briefing schedules, and oral arguments. This wasn't just any routine request; it was a clear signal that the stakes were extraordinarily high.The Court's response was swift and decisive. On September 9th, the justices granted both the motion to expedite and the petition for review. But here's where things get really interesting - they also consolidated this case with another Trump-related matter, case number 24-1287, creating a legal showdown that would receive a full hour of oral argument time.The briefing schedule reads like a legal sprint. Opening briefs were due by September 19th, with amicus briefs following by September 23rd. Response briefs had to be filed by October 20th, and reply briefs are due by October 30th. That's an incredibly compressed timeline for a Supreme Court case, especially one involving a sitting president.Mark your calendars, because oral arguments are scheduled for Wednesday, November 5th - Election Day 2025. The timing couldn't be more dramatic or consequential. While the specific details of what V.O.S. Selections does or what the underlying dispute involves remain somewhat opaque from the public docket, the urgency suggests this case touches on fundamental questions of presidential power and authority.The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision on August 29th, and within a week, Trump's team was at the Supreme Court's doorstep. That kind of rapid-fire legal maneuvering typically indicates that constitutional principles or significant government powers are at stake.What's particularly noteworthy is how the Court handled the consolidation. They've essentially created a single, comprehensive review of related Trump administration legal challenges, streamlining what could have been separate, drawn-out proceedings into one decisive moment.The Supreme Court has been dealing with Trump-related cases throughout the Roberts Court era, but this particular combination of expedited review, consolidated proceedings, and Election Day oral arguments creates a perfect storm of legal and political significance.As we watch this unfold over the coming weeks, the implications will likely extend far beyond just this one case, potentially shaping presidential powers for future administrations.Thank you for tuning in to today's legal update. Make sure to come back next week for more developments as this historic case moves toward oral arguments. This has been a Quiet Please production.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 1, 2025. 0:30 In a massive Illinois ICE operation called Operation Midway Blitz, over 800 illegal alien criminals were arrested in one coordinated sweep.These weren’t first-time visa overstays. We’re talking about gang members, drug traffickers, sexual predators, and violent offenders—people no community should be forced to live next to. Yet, thanks to Illinois’ sanctuary policies, these criminals were shielded from removal until federal agents stepped in. We break down the operation and why the stakes are so high for Americans and our safety. 9:44 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Democrats voted to shut down the Federal Government last night, repeatedly voting against passing a continuing resolution to keep the government funded through November 7th. The Trump administration is suing LA County in California for violating the 2nd Amendment. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services department announced the results of Operation Twin Shield. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We unpack the new American Pope's criticism of President Donald Trump where he suggested that enforcing immigration laws is somehow at odds with being pro-life. We also dive into the controversy surrounding the Archdiocese of Chicago honoring Senator Dick Durbin, a Catholic politician who openly supports abortion, with a “lifetime achievement award.” 16:30 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about parents who put their kids in travel sports. Are they just living vicariously through their kids? Our American Mamas say there’s a lot more to the story. From the sacrifices families make, to the friendships built on the road, to the competitive edge required just to make a Texas high school team, travel sports can be a pathway to scholarships, memories, and life lessons. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 In Memphis, President Trump has deployed the National Guard alongside federal agents—working with Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee—to crack down on violent crime. Within just 48 hours, the operation led to 53 arrests and 20 illegal guns seized. But instead of welcoming the results, Democrats remain silent—or outright protest. Why? We break down why the left won’t credit Trump’s actions, the political games behind crime and safety, and how real families in Memphis are the ones who stand to benefit. 26:45 New voter registration data from Decision Desk HQ reveals a stunning shift: since Election Day last year, over 2.1 million names have been purged from U.S. voter rolls. We Dig Deep into what the numbers really mean, why voter roll maintenance matters, and how the push for automatic registration could be fueling fraudulent enrollments. We also examine why Democrats resist voter ID laws, the risks to election integrity, and how trust in the system erodes when the numbers don’t add up. 32:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 The Biden-era green agenda just took a major hit — and it’s Democrats’ own fault. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has announced the cancellation of $8 billion in green energy funding, wiping out a huge chunk of what critics call “slush funds for climate activists.” Democrats refused to pass a continuing resolution, betting that a government shutdown would hurt Republicans and President Trump politically. Instead, OMB Director Russ Vought wielded the budget axe — and the cuts landed squarely on the Green New Deal. 36:35 Plus, having a sense of purpose may protect your brain health, and that's a Bright Spot. In new study in the Journal of Geriatric Psychology, researchers found that people who felt their lives had meaning were less likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s even if they carried the APOE4 gene, a major risk factor. 40:30 Massive immigration raids are underway in Chicago, and former ICE Director Tom Homan says the strategy is simple: target the cities that resist federal immigration enforcement the most. From Los Angeles to Chicago, so-called “sanctuary cities” have become magnets for illegal immigration, gangs, and crime—and Tom Homan is saying "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with a school community who came together to support their school's security guard.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 1st Publish Date:  October 1st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, October 1st and Happy Birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal KSU biology student gets hands-on experience in Guatemala clinic Macabre Victorian Funeral Experience returns to Root House Museum Graduation rates increase across state, including Cobb, Marietta All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 5 STORY 1: KSU biology student gets hands-on experience in Guatemala clinic  Like a lot of college students, Kennesaw State junior David Roque spent his summer in the tropics. But beaches and ziplining? Not exactly. Instead, he was back in his hometown of Poptun, Guatemala, working at his dad’s medical clinic—his second summer doing so. David wore a lot of hats: checking in patients, translating, assisting with surgeries. Poptun, tucked in Guatemala’s northern Peten region, is remote—thick forests, few medical facilities. Patients travel miles for care, and David’s bilingual skills made him indispensable. Between shifts, he even managed to take a cell biology course remotely. Medicine runs in his blood. His grandfather was a doctor in Cuba, his dad runs the clinic, his mom’s a nurse, and his sister’s about to graduate med school. At KSU, David’s passion for medicine expanded into research. Through the First-Year Scholars program, he joined a project on radiation therapy for cancer patients, earning two publications in his first year. David’s work has taken him to conferences at Georgia Tech, the State Capitol, and even Pennsylvania. He’s now drafting a proposal for his own cancer research project, blending his love for medicine and discovery. STORY 2: Macabre Victorian Funeral Experience returns to Root House Museum  This October, the William Root House takes a step back in time—into the somber world of a Victorian-era funeral. In 1856, Hannah and William Root shared their home with family, including Hannah’s father, Leonard Simpson, who passed away on Oct. 11 of that year. To honor his memory, the house is now staged as it would’ve been after his death: curtains drawn, black crepe draped over furniture, and mourning ribbons everywhere. Visitors can explore artifacts like 19th-century embalming tools, mourning jewelry made from human hair (yes, really), and other eerie relics of Victorian death customs. Daytime tours are included with regular admission. For those craving something darker, two after-hours events are on the calendar. Midnight Wake (Oct. 11, 11 p.m.–midnight): A candlelit VIP tour dives into embalming practices of the 1800s, ending with a haunting recital of a death poem written by Leonard Simpson himself. Tickets are $50, limited to 13 guests, and for ages 12+. Victorian Funeral Flashlight Tours (Oct. 25, 5–9 p.m.): Wander the house at your own pace, flashlight in hand, through dimly lit rooms. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Details at RootHouseMuseum.com/Funeral. STORY 3: Graduation rates increase across state, including Cobb, Marietta  Graduation rates are climbing, and 2025 was a record-breaking year for Marietta, Cobb, and Georgia as a whole. Marietta High hit 92.2%, its highest since Georgia adopted the adjusted cohort method in 2011. Cobb County wasn’t far behind, with an 89.2% rate—its best ever. Statewide, Georgia’s seniors reached 87.2%, another all-time high. Cobb’s Superintendent Chris Ragsdale credited a decade of steady growth, with schools like South Cobb making huge leaps (up 9.5 points to 87.9%). Meanwhile, Marietta Superintendent Dr. Grant Rivera praised the “shared commitment” of teachers, families, and students. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 5 STORY 4: UPDATE: Ted’s Montana Grill to fill 'Goldstein Gap' on Marietta Square  After years of sitting empty, the infamous “Goldstein Gap” on Marietta Square is finally getting a new tenant—a Ted’s Montana Grill. The Marietta Historic Board of Review gave the project a unanimous thumbs-up, approving plans for a single-story restaurant designed to blend seamlessly with the Square’s historic charm. The lot at 77 North Park Square, owned by former Councilman Philip Goldstein’s family, has been vacant since 2010, when the Cuthbertson building was demolished. Past proposals, including a brewery and a five-story building, fizzled out. The new 4,311-square-foot building will feature a brick façade, mahogany trim, and a design that mimics a two-story structure to match its neighbors. Ted’s Montana Grill, founded by Ted Turner, will bring its signature American and Western-style menu to the space—finally filling a long-standing gap in the Square’s landscape. STORY 5: Multiple businesses close after east Cobb shopping center fire A fire at the Village East Cobb shopping center has left nearly every business there shuttered, at least for now. Bookmiser, the beloved indie bookstore, is among the hardest hit. Co-owner Annell Gerson said the shop is closed “until further notice” after smoke and soot from Sunday’s early morning fire damaged much of their inventory. The fire started in the back room of Owl Repair, a phone repair shop next door, likely from a lithium-ion battery, though the cause is still under investigation. Firefighters contained the flames, but smoke spread through the building’s shared attic, leaving damage in every business. Chop Stix China Bistro owner Lyn Lin said they’ll be closed “at least a week” to deep clean and toss all food. Bookmiser is working to salvage what they can, but in the meantime, customers can shop online at bookmiser.net. Break: STORY 6: Kemp denies Cobb Election Board's request to amend special election date   Gov. Brian Kemp has denied a request from the Cobb Board of Elections to move the special election for former state Sen. Jason Esteves’ seat to Nov. 4, sticking with the original date of Nov. 18. Esteves, who resigned Sept. 10 to run for governor, left his District 35 seat—covering parts of Cobb and Fulton—vacant. The elections board argued Nov. 4, already a statewide Election Day, would save money and reduce voter confusion. But Kemp disagreed. “Convenience isn’t the priority,” Kemp wrote, emphasizing the need for voters and candidates to have more time. Local leaders, however, aren’t thrilled. Cobb Democratic Chair Essence Johnson called the decision “fiscally irresponsible,” while GOP Chair Mary Clarice Hathaway said it could lead to low turnout. Early voting starts Oct. 27, with registration closing Oct. 20. If a runoff is needed, it’ll happen Dec. 16—just in time for the holiday chaos. STORY 7: Autumn happenings Cobb County’s got fall covered—pumpkins, paint, parades, and just the right amount of spooky. Here’s a taste of what’s happening: Oct. 10, 6–7:30 p.m.: Paint Your Own Pumpkin Candy Dish at Sewell Mill Library. $28 gets you paint, glaze, and a kiln-fired masterpiece.

On this episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast, we welcome longtime Johns Creek resident and Rivermont Golf Club owner Chris Cupit to discuss why he is helping lead the effort to encourage residents to vote no on this November's referendum to fund a new performing arts center. With Election Day quickly approaching, Johns Creek voters will see a bond referendum on the ballot asking whether to fund a new community arts center.  Cupit has emerged as a prominent voice in the “no” campaign, and he joins the show to share his perspective on why he believes the arts center bond is not the right move for Johns Creek. We discuss the details of the proposal, how it fits into the city's broader vision, and what voters should keep in mind as they head to the polls in November. Editor's Note: We welcome any leader of the "yes" campaign to join us for an episode to discuss why they think the bond IS the right move for Johns Creek.

In a matter of weeks, North Texas voters have the chance to flip a Texas Senate seat from red to blue, and provide another vote for sanity in a chamber dominated by the nonsense of Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. Union president, veteran, and working class public education champion Taylor Rehmet is running against two far-right MAGA Republicans in the special election to fill a vacancy left by Republican Kelly Hancock's move to the Texas Comptroller's Office. Taylor spoke with our Executive Director Kathleen Thompson about his public policy priorities including affordable heath care, education, protecting Texas veterans, and this paramount opportunity—in a competitive district—where recent local election voters sent a clear message that they're done with MAGA extremism. Make sure your friends and family in Senate District 9 (Bedford, Fort Worth, Keller, North Richland Hills, etc.) know early voting begins October 20 and Election Day is November 4.How to get involved in Taylor's campaign: https://www.taylorfortx.comProgress Texas' voting information resource GoVoteTexas.org assists voters in navigating election deadlines, polling locations, and the current status of the state's changing voter ID laws in 5 languages: English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese, and Hindi! https://govotetexas.org/

A new report says unsafe working conditions at Kawasaki's rail car plants in Nebraska and Yonkers are delaying train deliveries for the MTA. Meanwhile, the MTA board has approved a fare hike that will raise subway and bus rides to $3 starting in January, along with ending 30-day unlimited passes and coin payments on buses.

On today's podcast: 1) The top four congressional leaders will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, a day before federal funding would expire if the two parties can’t agree on a short-term spending bill. The discussions will be the first between Trump and congressional leaders ahead of the deadline to avoid a shutdown. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and his House counterpart, Hakeem Jeffries, were expected to meet with the president last week but it was canceled by the White House at the last minute. 2) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to hold a crucial White House meeting with US President Donald Trump on Monday amid assertions from Washington that an ambitious plan to end the war in Gaza is nearly complete. The meeting — the fourth between the two allies since Trump took office in January — comes after the US leader shared a 21-point proposal aimed at concluding the Israel-Hamas conflict with other regional heads in New York last week. 3) New York City Mayor Eric Adams bowed out of his struggling reelection campaign Sunday, but the decision may be too late to fundamentally alter the outcome of the November election to replace him. Adams’ decision to withdraw, amid faltering poll numbers and a struggle to raise money, was a long-speculated outcome by donors and sought by others who hoped to boost former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s chances to defeat frontrunner Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist. But political analysts questioned Sunday whether the decision can make a difference with just 37 days until Election Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination has been felt far wider and deeper than many expected. Tributes have sprung up around the globe — from the UK and Australia to South Africa, Europe, South America, and Asia. Yet much of the media first misinformed the public and then tried to push the “both sides are violent” narrative, while thousands of online leftists cheered his death and desecrated memorials. What does this say about the moral health of our institutions — and the people shaping public opinion?Speaking of what's wrong with our institutions: this week The Heartland Institute received a letter from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) clearly intended to bully. He's demanding that by September 30 Heartland hand over any and all communications since Election Day 2024 discussing why the Endangerment Finding for carbon dioxide should be rescinded — after reports that Heartland influenced the Trump administration's decision to attempt that rescission. Heartland President James Taylor has a simple reply: pound sand.Join Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, S.T. Karnick, and James Taylor as they break down the media spin, the moral rot, and Sen.

Miller said “‘Pony Up' has died a natural death.” It led to an outpouring of frustration from fans on social media. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We're now less than two months from Election Day, and a new round of polls shows Zohran Mamdani holding a comfortable lead over Andrew Cuomo. But a lot can shift in the weeks ahead and the numbers suggest Mamdani's margin would narrow considerably in a one-on-one matchup with Cuomo. So the big question is: can anyone catch Mamdani? NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza and Ayana Harry are joined by political director Bob Hardt to weigh in on whether Mamdani is truly untouchable. Plus, straight from the campaign trail: will Mayor Eric Adams actually drop out of the race? How is Andrew Cuomo trying to turn the 9/11 anniversary into a political moment? And what's behind Mamdani's viral video of him playing soccer? The “Off Topic” team breaks down another busy week in the mayor's race.

It was giving big Mandani energy until that incumbent, Jacob Frey, challenged the result and got the endorsement revoked. Now, with less than two months until Election Day, Fateh joins Bad Faith to discuss comparisons to Zohran, why Frey has lost the confidence of the party, how DSA candidates can remain accountable to the organization, and how to handle the corporate media's attacks on the defund movement -- especially as a candidate running in the city where George Floyd was killed.

Three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices elected as Democrats are defending their records on the bench amid criticisms from the Republican Party over their impartiality in rulings. The judges all face a statewide vote on Election Day, determining whether they’ll keep their seats. The state has approved a request by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, to use state transit reserve money to close a more than $300 million budget gap over the next two years. The Trump administration wants to roll back the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects wild areas in national forests, including in Pennsylvania. Critics say that could undo the environmental gains that have been made, compromising a critical resource. Lancaster County commissioners recently adopted a new hazard safety plan. The five-year mitigation plan details environmental and human-made risks facing county residents and what can be done to prevent them. Pennsylvania now has its first comprehensive digital inventory of trails within Pennsylvania's state parks. The new digital trail resource maps more than 17-hundred miles of trails across 119 parks. Federal funding for public media has been rescinded. Your monthly gift to WITF can help fill the gap as we navigate this new reality.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about Election Day and the anticipation around what the results might bring. While he acknowledges the political side of things, the conversation quickly shifts toa reflection on the state of the culture and the presence of something he’s not afraid to name: evil. In a calm but serious tone, Brett unpacks how it operates quietly, how it feeds on doubt and division, and how it shows up in our daily choices. But this isn’t just a warning — it’s a call to stand strong. He encourages listeners to hold onto truth, integrity, and hope, even when the noise of the world says otherwise. Whether Republican or Democrat, Brett’s message is clear: now is the time to build, not tear down. With steady conviction, he reminds us that we’re not alone in the fight — and we are not going to fold. We’re joined by former North Carolina Governor and former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory to talk about the federalization of a recent case and broader concerns around public safety and city leadership. In a serious but steady conversation, McCrory reflects on how small issues — like the lack of enforcement on public transit and the growing presence of homelessness — have slowly chipped away at the city’s stability. Drawing on his experience as mayor, he recalls implementing curfews, targeting repeat offenders, and rallying community support to confront crime head-on. He stresses that the business community shouldn’t sit back, but should be vocal in holding local government accountable. While he expresses concern about the city’s direction over the last 12 to 15 years, McCrory also reaffirms his deep love for Charlotte. His message is clear: it’s time for common-sense leadership, stronger standards, and a willingness to step up before the damage becomes irreversible. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the federalization of the tragic transit case that’s shaken the Charlotte community, and the broader conversation around justice, mental health, and the systems that too often fail those who need help — and those they hurt. Beth brings heartfelt insight into the human side of the story, reflecting on the life lost and the many complex layers tied to crime, public safety, and cultural desensitization. She and Brett also discuss how national and even international dynamics echo in our local headlines, reminding listeners that these stories are never just local. Beth also shares what she and Bo Thompson have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT, including cybersecurity expert Teresa Payton, political analyst Scott Huffmon Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!
