E. Martinez: 德州人口结构的转变，使其成为一个更具竞争性的政治战场，有可能改变参议院选举的结果。 Deepa Shivaram: 两位总统候选人都在德州采取策略性行动，争取不同性别和族裔选民，并试图影响德州参议院选举。民主党人认为他们有机会赢得这个席位，因为该州的人口结构变化以及对堕胎权的关注。 Sam Greenglass: FBI警告极端分子可能在选举后采取暴力行动，佐治亚州等摇摆州的选举官员和选民对此高度关注，并采取措施应对。选民对政治言论的反应各不相同，一些人感到担忧，另一些人则认为这不会影响他们的投票意愿。 Frank Stoltz: 洛杉矶地区检察官建议对梅内德兹兄弟重新判刑并释放，理由是他们童年遭受父亲性虐待。这一决定在社会上引起了争议，一些人认为兄弟俩应该为自己的罪行负责，而另一些人则认为应该考虑到他们所遭受的虐待。

Swing states like Georgia are on edge as the FBI warns state and local officials that extremists with election grievances could turn to violence in the coming weeks. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is recommending that the Menendez brothers be resentenced and released from prison. And President Biden is set to make a formal apology for the federal government's Native American Boarding schools. *Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?
