The Economist: New Jersey introduced a smart voting reform—then let it lapse
New Jersey saw a significant increase in voter turnout in the 2020 presidential election due to the automatic mail-in ballot system implemented during the pandemic. However, despite its success, the state allowed the provision to expire, leading to lower voter turnout in subsequent elections. This decision is particularly surprising given that New Jersey is a blue state that favors accessible voting. Voter participation is expected to remain low in the state, especially during mid-term elections.

The rise of technology, including AI and deep fake videos, has made it difficult for people to distinguish between what is real and what is fake. This trend is expected to continue, with 71% of respondents believing it will become even harder to determine what is real in the next 10 years.

Flag And Cross: Depression, Constipation, And UTIs May Signal Early Multiple Sclerosis, Study Finds
Depression, constipation, and urinary tract infections may be early signs of multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a new study. The research found that people who later develop MS are more likely to experience these conditions five years before their diagnosis. Sexual problems and bladder infections were also more common among those who later developed MS. However, the study's authors noted that these conditions can be signs of other diseases as well, so they may not necessarily lead to earlier MS diagnosis in the general population.
