EAST LANSING, Mich.—A capacity crowd of some 6,000 supporters filled Jenison Field House on the campus of Michigan State University for Vice President Kamala Harris’s last appearance in the state before the Nov. 5 election.

Pennsylvania’s top election official confirmed his office is investigating potentially fraudulent voter registration applications after authorities in multiple counties reported the issue.

Health care access and affordability seem to have received limited attention during the 2024 presidential campaigns, despite the industry accounting for more than 17 percent of the United States’ GDP.
“For perhaps the first election season since 2004, health coverage policies have had a relatively low profile,” Sharon Glied, dean of New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, wrote in an opinion piece in the New England Journal of Medicine.
John C. Goodman, health economist and health policy expert, told The Epoch Times: “The two biggest problems in health care: Millions of people can’t afford the care they need, and millions of people don’t have access to the care they need. And neither candidate is addressing these two problems in any serious way.”
While campaigning in battleground Michigan on Nov. 3, Vice President Kamala Harris said her mail-in ballot was “on its way to California” and declined to say how she voted on her home state’s Proposition 36, which would enhance criminal penalties for shoplifting and drug dealing.
Harris passed on the question while speaking with reporters on Sunday.
The 2024 presidential election is the first in which the majority of Generation Z—those born between 1997 and 2012 and currently aged between 12 and 27—will be eligible to vote.
Often called Gen Z or Zoomers, the newest generation of voters, aged 18 to 27, tend to have an outlook different from that of older generations.
Gen Zers make up roughly 20 percent of the U.S. population. But they’re greatly outnumbered in voter registration by older generations: An April study found that fewer than 40 percent were registered to vote.
Despite recent market gains, many Americans are worried about how the upcoming election will affect their savings and investments. However, financial analysts say that, regardless of who wins, the person in the Oval Office will likely have less of an impact on market performance than people think.

WATERFORD, Mich.—Midday voter turnout was steady at the Waterford Event Center in Oakland County on the state’s last day of early voting. About a dozen people waited for check-in as about 50 others waited or cast ballots at approximately two dozen voter stations inside.

With just two days to go before the Nov. 5 general election, multiple final polls show that the 2024 presidential race still appears to be close.
What Final Polls Are Saying
Multiple final polls released by The New York Times-Siena College, Morning Consult, Rasmussen, ABC News, Atlas Intel, and NBC News show that Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck, although the picture becomes murkier when broken down by swing states.

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in the final days before the Nov. 5 election, playing herself as the mirror-image double of Maya Rudolph’s version of her in the show’s cold open.
A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner on Sunday said that the Democratic presidential candidate’s “SNL” appearance may have violated the agency’s rule about equal time being given to candidates.
“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr wrote on the social platform X late on Saturday night.
People who identify as transgender make up about 1.6 percent of the U.S. population, the Pew Research Center found in 2022.

NEW YORK—Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on “Saturday Night Live” in the final days before the election, playing herself as the mirror-image double of Maya Rudolph’s version of her in the show’s cold open.
The first lines the Democratic nominee spoke as she sat across from Rudolph, their outfits identical, were drowned out by cheers from the audience.
“It is nice to see you Kamala,” Harris told Rudolph with a broad grin she kept throughout the sketch. “And I’m just here to remind you, you got this.”
A Georgia judge has dismissed a Republican lawsuit attempting to prevent counties from operating election offices over the weekend to accept hand-delivered absentee ballots.
Plaintiffs said the lack of poll watchers to observe the absentee (or mail-in) ballot intake by local election officials compromised election integrity.
The Georgia secretary of state’s office recorded more than 4 million votes cast during the state’s early voting period, which concluded on Nov. 1.
In all, the office logged 4,004,588 ballots cast, including 3,761,968 in-person votes and 242,620 mail-in absentee ballots.
The FBI has disavowed a pair of videos purporting to be made by the bureau that raise election integrity concerns.
The FBI statement said one of the videos claims the bureau has apprehended three linked groups committing ballot fraud.
