2024 NPR Election News

It is not uncommon for political commentators to call a late-breaking story during a presidential election an "October surprise" — even when there is little evidence that it mattered all that much.

Harris wants to make it easier for eligible voters to cast ballots and rebuild Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination, while Trump pushes for more restrictions to voting access.

Former President Barack Obama bluntly told Black men this week that they need to get over it if they "just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president."

Vice President Harris' campaign is using the report to underscore the fact that she is younger than her Republican rival — who has not released much information about his health.

All the available evidence suggests that a miniscule number of noncitizens vote illegally in federal elections and not in numbers that would sway the outcome of any race.

The lawsuit alleges that an executive order issued in August by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin requiring daily updates to voter lists to remove ineligible voters violates federal law.

Trump doubled down on false claims he has made about migrant crime in the city, and called for the death penalty "for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law-enforcement officer."

“Research has been consistent over time that voter fraud is infinitesimally rare,” one expert tells NPR.

Vice President Harris took questions on inflation, immigration and the way she became the Democratic nominee from undecided voters in her first town hall.

Lack of enthusiasm for Harris “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers," Obama said while campaigning for her in Pittsburgh. He said Black men need to get behind Harris and get out to vote.
