Fox News: RNC rails against California's late mail-in ballot counting amid national litigation: 'It is absurd'
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has initiated lawsuits to halt the counting of mail-in ballots in several states, criticizing California's practice of accepting ballots up to seven days after Election Day. The RNC argues this delays election results and undermines election integrity.
California's voting process has faced scrutiny due to the high volume of mail-in ballots, with nearly 90% of votes cast by mail in the 2022 election. The RNC, alongside state Republican parties, is actively working to ensure transparency and push for reforms in mail-in voting practices.

The American Mind: To Give or Not to Give…Thanks
On September 25, 1789, the U.S. House of Representatives debated a resolution for a day of public thanksgiving, introduced by Elias Boudinot. Some representatives opposed the idea, arguing it was inappropriate for Congress to involve itself in religious matters or to assume the public's gratitude for the new Constitution.
Despite the debate, Congress moved forward, leading to President Washington's proclamation of Thanksgiving on October 3, 1789. The tradition solidified with Lincoln's 1863 proclamation and later became a legal holiday in 1941. This history reflects the evolving American spirit of gratitude and unity.
