WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Josh Shapiro wins reelection for governor in Pennsylvania

There's probably a better source for this news than this article, which has it within a sub-section of the article.

The Department of Justice has charged nine more Pennsylvania residents with voting as a noncitizen, according to a Friday news release.

There is no evidence the cases are related or that voter fraud is happening on a widespread or coordinated scale.

According to several people knowledgeable about the discussions, the administration initially floated an idea that would have virtually shut down mail voting: requiring all ballots to be delivered exclusively through certified mail. The proposal — which would have required voters to be home and sign for delivery of their ballots — was ultimately abandoned, after vehement Postal Service objections that it would have been impossible to execute.

Even after the idea fizzled, Postal Service officials were cut out of crucial conversations as the Trump administration moved forward with what became the final executive order, two people familiar with the matter said. Issued in March, its contents came as a shock even to the Postal Service’s lawyers.

Inside the Postal Service, which is overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, deliberations on whether to comply with the order stretched on for weeks. Some board members found it alarming but feared Trump would respond to a direct challenge by trying to fire them, sources familiar with their concerns told ProPublica. Instead, they remained silent, counting on the courts to block the measure.

“The board was being careful how or when it took action, knowing that it might be its last action,” one source said.

Plans presented by CDE Acquisitions (Edged U.S. / Scannell Properties) have changed since they first surfaced late last year.

The current version shows a campus with three data center buildings (each about 492,285 square feet in size), an accessory building that's 40,680 square feet, an electrical substation, a cell tower, 267 parking spaces, three retention ponds for stormwater management, and various buffering and landscaping additions.

The total building square footage of the campus is 1.5 million square feet.

The public meeting on Wednesday, September 23 begins at 6 p.m. at Parkland High School at 2700 North Cedar Crest Boulevard.

The current deadline for the township to act on the Project Atlas plan is October 31.

Developers want to build a coordinated data center campus consisting of 3 data center principal structures.

At Wednesday's meeting, there will be 90 minutes for public comment. There will also be an opportunity for the township's park and recreation board, environmental advisory council, and landscape and shade tree commission to review, discuss, and provide recommendations on the proposal.

The township manager says no action will be taken on the proposal tonight. The board of commissioners has until October 31st to approve, deny, or take other action.

The state says two unvaccinated Lancaster County residents died in connection with measles, including an infant.

But the Lancaster County coroner says although measles was found in the infant's body, the baby did not die from measles.

"We're trying to figure out, you know, who those deaths were and whether they actually happened," said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The Lancaster County coroner said an infant who tested positive for measles died from a ruptured spleen, not measles.

But Pennsylvania's Department of Health stands by calling it a "measles-associated death."

"The only state that won't cooperate with us is Pennsylvania, and we can't get any information," said Kennedy.

Meanwhile, Gov. Josh Shapiro claims Kennedy is spreading conspiracy theories regarding vaccine components.

Kennedy, then a prominent anti-vaccine activist, preceded the visit with a letter to the Samoan prime minister requesting to study the Pacific island nation’s measles, mumps and rubella vaccines after the deaths of two children who had received them. In the letter, he used the words vaccine or vaccination eight times.

Kennedy’s Samoa visit has become one of the most contentious events in his career. At the time, he was leading a nonprofit known for its anti-vaccine activism. Critics said the visit fueled anti-vaccine sentiment in Samoa, which later experienced the measles outbreak that killed 83 people, mostly children under 5.

Donald Trump’s administration can proceed with a nationwide crackdown on mail-in voting, the US supreme court has ruled, approving its emergency appeal.

It remains unclear, however, how his administration can implement the decision in time for the midterm elections in November, and the ruling leaves room for legal challenges.

Insects, on the other hand, despite their tiny, poppy-seed-sized brains, have a perhaps surprising amount of wisdom when it comes to decision-making. Many insect problem-solving skills have, in fact, inspired algorithms for efficient deliberation in real-world human industries.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who oversaw the Oath Keepers’ trials, criticized the department’s move, writing in his ruling that the government “asks to absolve these Defendants of crimes against the United States itself.” But Mehta wrote that he had no choice but to grant the administration’s request.

“This is the last of the prosecutions seeking to hold accountable those responsible for the events of Jan. 6. That book is now closed,” wrote Mehta, who was nominated to the bench by Democratic President Barack Obama.

“Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and law enforcement officers who secured these convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy — the peaceful transfer of presidential power — to buckle. The court cannot write a different ending,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Missouri voters rejected a pair of unique ballot measures backed by the Republican-led Legislature. One defeated measure would have required all citizen-initiated constitutional amendments to pass in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts instead of by a simple statewide majority — a high standard used by no other state. The other measure would have directed lawmakers to repeal the state’s individual income tax while authorizing a state sales tax expansion.
