By AAMER MADHANI and KEVIN FREKING Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional leaders from both parties, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, swiftly pushed back Thursday after President Donald Trump declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the Nov. 3 presidential election. Trump said during a Wednesday news conference, 'We're going to have to see what happens,' responding to a question about committing to the results. 'You know that I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots, and the ballots are a disaster.' McConnell and other leaders of Trump's Republican […]

Ryan Destiny, who is best known for her role as Alexandra Crane on the now-canceled Fox television show “Star,” recently sent a message to young Black women in Hollywood.
On Thursday, June 4, Destiny posted a lengthy message on Instagram to encourage young people to speak out against discrimination in the workplace.
Reflecting on a time when she was mistreated on set, she wrote: “This message is to my fellow black sisters in particular… This goes for any career or work space but I’m speaking from my own experience.”
“If you are just now entering Hollywood in any form or plan to… and at some point experience discrimination, appropriation, racism, colorism, microaggression even if sometimes sadly by your own people…speak up for yourself.
Destiny revealed on Twitter that “Glee” star Amber Patrice Riley inspired her to tell her story.
Yesterday Gov. Gavin Newsom leaned over the hood of an electric car and signed an executive order to phase out new gas-powered vehicles in California by 2035 and halt new fracking projects by 2024. It was exactly the kind of “big, hairy, audacious” move that Newsom has made his calling card: one guaranteed to generate […]

With all of the efforts underway to suppress votes, it’s important to take steps to make sure that not only are you registered but also that you’re on your local voter rolls so that there is no issue when you try to vote on Election Day.
This year’s election presents a unique set of circumstances that might result in more people than average trying to mail their votes or cast absentee ballots.
Therefore, with all of these factors colliding ahead of what is sure to be one of the most consequential presidential elections of everybody’s lifetimes, the stakes are high for voters to make sure all of their electoral i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed.
The first step in doing so is determining from which state you plan to vote and then contacting the local board of elections.
From there you can determine voter registration deadlines, which are enforced and can keep someone from voting.
Given the generally perceived poor performances of the governments during this period it is no surprise that the three elections have been the most competitive (one seat majorities/minorities for the winner) in the history of Guyana’s elections.
As some writers have suggested, Guyana’s elections are dynamic because of the increased Mixed and Indigenous citizens, influx of youthful voters unburdened by loyalty or distrust, and older voters willing to give third (e.g. AFC) parties a voice in parliament.
GECOM, the body tasked to provide an appropriate OLE has not done so despite major activities over the past 10 years: three general elections, two local government elections, claims and objection periods and an aborted partial house-to-house registration.
got the clear impression from the Chairman (retired Justice Claudette Singh) and all of the Commissioners that they were quite satisfied that the preparations for elections were onstream and that we can all look forward to having a credible and efficient election by the 2nd of March,”
Given the above, I am convinced all parties went into the 2020 election accepting the OLE and were well aware of the “bloat”.
Statements from observers and almost all the contesting parties suggest that GECOM election day staff and processes effectively thwarted most of the efforts to use the OLE illegally.

If preliminary data estimates on the recent 2020 primaries in North Carolina are accurate, student voters on HBCU campuses must raise their turnout game come the general election this November.
Busa analyzed student voter turnout from ten North Carolina campuses, three of them HBCUs – N.C. A&T University, in Greensboro, Winston-Salem State University and North Carolina Central University in Durham.
At least seven of the ten NC universities tracked for student early voting did much better, with six of the top schools coming in with two to three times the state’s overall voter turnout (Duke was at 34%, for instance).
As a result, because 66% of North Carolina voters vote on Primary day, and college students don’t, they effectively caught up percentage-wise with the high college voting, leaving only Duke University (34.3%) to exceed both groups (NC was at 30.6%) in total voter turnout percentages, Busa says.
During the early voting period, more than 30,458 Fulton County voters cast their ballots, according to a joint statement by Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections Chair Mary Carole Cooney and Director of Registration & Elections Richard L. Barron.
In an unprecedented election season, the Fulton County Election Commission added two polling locations, one in Roswell and another in College Park.
Since early voting began in May, Fulton County has experienced socially distanced lines that resulted in waits of up to four hours, a backlog of absentee ballot applications.
The Fulton County Election Commission has acknowledged the number of voters who applied for absentee ballots but never received them.

Worried about the economy amidst COVID-19, young people in Seychelles say they want to see the island nation diversify away from its reliance on tourism and grow the island nation's ICT sector and agriculture production to lower its reliance on imports.
SNA spoke to several young people to get their point of view on how COVID-19 has impacted Seychelles, what changes they would like to see as well as opportunities presented.
Echoing the need to diversify the economy, Jade Jules told SNA that though the country is small, Seychelles has a lot of potential.
Angelique Popounneau, another young Seychellois, told SNA that COVID-19 has provided the country with an opportunity to test the 'working from home' concept which most organisations or people were not employing before the pandemic.
Popounneau, who is chief executive of the Seychelles Conservation and Climate Adaptation Trust (SeyCCAT), added that whether people will see the working from home concept continue into the future, depends on the willingness of the organisations to create work environments that work for their workers.

Director Spike Lee did what he does best and created a short film right after the killing of George Floyd.
The project, called “3 Brothers — Radio Raheem, Eric Garner, and George Floyd,” was posted on his Twitter and Instagram accounts and connects the death of Floyd, Eric Garner, and Radio Raheem, the character in Lee’s 1989 film “Do the Right Thing.”
Because I’m looking at the faces and I see our white brothers and sisters joined with their black and brown sisters, arm in arm, step by step, in there… I haven’t seen this since I was 10 or 11, during the ’60s… the Vietnam War, black power movement, women’s movement… This is the next version of that.”
Lee also discussed his Vietnam War movie “Da 5 Bloods,” starring Chadwick Boseman and Delroy Lindo.
“The Vietnam War was the first war that was televised into homes… Me and my late brother Chris, we loved World War II films.
