Matt Vasilogambros | Stateline.org (TNS) In April, Wisconsin joined 27 other states that have banned or restricted local governments’ use of private donations to run cash-strapped election offices, buy voting equipment or hire poll workers for Election Day. All of the state laws came in the past four years, pushed by conservative lawmakers and activists who claim that Democratic voters disproportionately benefited from hundreds of millions of dollars in grants primarily funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, during the 2020 presidential election. Courts and federal regulators have rejected those claims, but the debate over the role of outside money reveals a broader worry among election experts, who say there are significant shortcomings in local government funding of election offices.

If you’re fed up with traffic near Port Everglades, here’s some good news: Construction starts this week for a new road that will gives drivers one more way to get from U. S. 1 to Southeast 17th Street, on their way toward Fort Lauderdale beach. Broward’s new Port Everglades Bypass Road will be about a mile long and costs about $55 million. The goal will be to give drivers easier access from the airport toward Southeast 17th Street, which often is used by drivers to head east toward State Road A1A, which then runs north along the city’s beach side.

Considering his past few weeks have been spent in court defending himself from felony charges and not campaigning for a second term, a recent poll showing former President Donald Trump way ahead in the race for the White House must have come as a very welcome surprise to the 45th President’s campaign staff. A CNN poll of more than 900 registered voters released Sunday shows that, if the November election were held today, the former president would beat incumbent President Joe Biden by six points.
