The national Republican Party, the Trump Campaign and several sitting GOP Congressmembers have filed suit to stop  Pennsylvania counties from using secure absentee ballot drop-off boxes, even though an expansion of absentee voting was approved last year by the state's GOP-majority legislature, and secure drop-off boxes are a recommended best practice by vote-by-mail experts and the federal government. Also today: a heart-felt tribute to beloved comedy legend Carl Reiner, who passed away today at the age of 98. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report'...
