La confianza de los demócratas en que los votos de las elecciones intermedias se contarán con precisión ha caído desde 2022, según una encuesta de AP-NORC
The AP-NORC Center said 55% of registered Democratic voters have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence votes will be counted accurately, down from 75% before the 2022 midterms, compared with 38% of Republican voters, whose confidence has risen. About 7 in 10 voters called AI-generated misinformation and partisan gerrymandering major problems, and only 17% were extremely or very confident the Supreme Court would handle midterm cases fairly. The poll was conducted Oct. 8-12.

AP reported Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign confirmed late Tuesday it produced the video, in which Acton's birth mother, Donna Arthur, calls her "a liar," and said it will spend $4 million to promote it; a spokesperson said Arthur was not paid. Acton, who was removed from her mother's custody as a child after her stepfather was indicted for raping her, condemned the ad, and her brother called it a "disgusting attack," ABC News reported. Ramaswamy told reporters he viewed the ad as "legitimate."
