Because of the pandemic, mail-in voting was used widely and that contributed heavily to increased turnout. In 2020, 66% of registered voters cast ballots, the highest since 1900. Combined with the increasing Latino and Asian American population and a remigration to the South of young Black voters, particularly in Georgia, that has meant a reshaping of the electoral map. It's also because of the continued shift with college-educated white voters toward Democrats.

By the time he reached the area, two or three blown fuses may have sparked a fire at the base of a healthy green tree leaning on the pole that held the conductor. The fire comes with Memorial Day — seen as the unofficial start of summer — about a month away, and the pier is a star attraction for Oceanside. Parsons said it’s not clear when it will reopen to the public because it will need to be evaluated by a structural engineer. A photographer was among those arrested during clashes between protesters and law enforcement on the University of Texas at Austin campus on Wednesday.

The study did not look specifically at how the heat dome, which extended into Northern California, affected the state’s fire season. That summer, the 963,000-acre Dixie fire, which started July 13, became the first to burn from one side of the Sierra Nevada to the other, followed in short order by the 221,000-acre Caldor fire. If this type of synchronous activity persists in future years, it could force fire managers to reevaluate the reliability of resource-sharing arrangements, he said.

Smoke traveled across the continent, triggering air quality alerts across much of the East Coast. That fire had grown to 1,427 acres and was 13% contained Monday morning, officials said. The blaze generated a massive fire whirl over the weekend that sent smoke and flames aloft. On of the state’s highest priority fires, the multi-county Dixie fire burning in Northern California, has long since claimed the title of the second largest wildfire in the state’s recorded history.

"The university is a private campus and the group had been violating some of their orders. It was a trespass at that point and we assisted with the arrests," Los Angeles Police Captain Kelly Muniz said during a briefing.

The family of the fire victims started a fund to pay for funeral expenses through gofundme.com, and it’s raised more than $17,000. The page indicates some of the family have relatives in Georgia who also are planning on having their own funeral service. Two children have now died after the north Spokane house fire that also killed their parents, family members said Friday. "We do not take this decision lightly and understand how this impacts people who enjoy recreating on the National Forests," Regional Forester Jennifer Eberlien said in a written statement.

The researchers also found strong links between the extreme heat and wildfire activity in 2021. That year, 21% of the land burned in North America was scorched by fires that started during and within the heat dome, with that figure rising to 34% when taking into account fires that started within 10 days, the researchers found. At least eight large lightning-sparked wildfires called the LNU Complex in the North Bay have burned hundreds of thousands of acres. Fires are burning in Napa, Lake, Sonoma, Colusa, Solano, and Yolo counties. They've ripped through more than 375,000 acres with containment Monday at 89 percent. This fire in Fresno County is burning northeast of Shaver Lake in Sierra National Forest.

He's qualified so far for the ballot in three states — Michigan, Hawaii and Utah. A Quinnipiac poll last month showed Trump's lead expanding from 3 to 5 points when RFK Jr. was included. Kennedy's campaign and a super PAC supporting him say he has enough signatures to potentially also get on ballots in Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina and South Carolina. But the toss up states are expected to be close, within just a few points, in either candidate's direction. In addition to personnel, ads are the largest expenditure of a presidential campaign. To better understand the landscape for the presidential election with a little more than six months to go, here is our initial Electoral Vote map of the cycle.

The journey that ended with a man setting himself on fire on Friday outside the Manhattan courthouse where Donald J. Trump was being tried seemed to have begun in Florida, with a series of increasingly bizarre outbursts. If a tie happened, Trump would likely become president, because a tie would go to the House. Each House delegation would cast one collective vote for their states.

There are plans in the works to replace the bridge and the lifeguard headquarters underneath the pier, but that $40 million project is several years off. Last year, the city wrapped up a $5.6 million project to install new lines on the pier for potable water, wastewater, electrical and communications. The one there now is the sixth version, built in 1986 to replace one destroyed by storms. The response included 144 firefighters, 30 lifeguards and 32 police officers. A construction company on-site to dredge the harbor also sent a boat to help. Kwong also took more than $700,000 from a company that makes joint replacements and never reported that conflict of interest to the county, investigators found.

San Diego Gas & Electric and Sheriff’s Department helicopters dropped water from above, and the Coast Guard sent a cutter to douse with water from underneath. On the ground, fire crews pulled hoses down the 1,954-foot-long pier. Images shared on social media showed a large black plume of smoke rising above the end of the iconic pier, creating a spectacle for anyone in the area.

“A couple of days ago I really felt we were turning a corner with it,” operations section chief Eric Schwab said Sunday, noting that the fire had been creeping eastward at a pace of about half a mile each day. Acreage and containment updates for the Caldor fire were not available from state fire officials Monday night. Thousands rushed to leave South Lake Tahoe as the resort city came under an evacuation order due to the Caldor fire.

The university "supports free speech through open dialogue that is respectful and constructive," the officials said. Graffiti described as “hateful” has been painted on campus, the officials said. Work and classes will remain remote, and officials are considering keeping the campus closed for longer. House Speaker Mike Johnson called Wednesday for the resignation of the university’s president if she can't "bring order to this chaos."

Still, officials said, there is some concern that Southern California could start to see larger, more destructive fires as the season progresses, further straining resources already committed to the northern part of the state. The increasing population of white, college-educated voters in the state's Research Triangle continues to make the state competitive. But Republicans have won it in all but one presidential election since 1976. Forest Service announced the closure of nine national forests in the state during the week leading up to the Labor Day Holiday. Last month, a repair man reportedly spotted what he suspected to be a blown fuse while he was responding to an outage in Feather River Canyon off of Highway 70 in Oroville. Due to rough terrain and road work, the worker could not reach the pole for several hours, the utility said.

Catastrophic brush fires are occurring at an increasing rate not only in California but across the country. Hillside communities within Los Angeles are under continuous threat of a devastating wildfire. As this risk increases, it is important you protect yourself and your family by planning, preparing and staying aware. Through May 6, more than 1,500 wildfires have burned 6,700 acres in California, according to CalFire statistics.
