Today’s Headlines: With Election Day approaching, early voting has surged to 44 million ballots cast. Federal authorities are investigating ballot box fires in Oregon and Washington—both affecting tight races. The FBI and DHS have also issued warnings about possible election disruptions from domestic actors. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos reportedly stopped a Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris, potentially to protect Blue Origin contracts, leading to a subscriber loss of 200,000. Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner has sued Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC for an alleged unlawful lottery targeting swing-state voters. Lastly, McDonald’s has resumed selling quarter-pounders after an E. coli outbreak was traced to raw onions from a supplier, not the chain itself.
