Too much else is at stake with the economy and elections.

The most online election in history has been snapped, shared, and memed into oblivion. WIRED’s photo department has curated moments across the country from the last few months.

Last week’s column discussed insects that we may encounter sharing our space, especially as temperatures drop and the winter season is quickly approaching.

Analysts are watching both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump for potential regulatory picks, as well as how strongly Trump advocates for policies like tariffs and deportations that could impact the economy, inflation and bankers' prospects.

It’s very possible that Vice President Kamala Harris could win the presidency after a campaign heavily focused on abortion rights and pledges to pass federal protections. Pro-choice ballot measures may pass multiple states in what some people are gleefully referring to as “Roevember”—if only, for some, to sell merch. But it’s also looking increasingly likely that multiple all-trimester abortion clinics, which between hype-filled campaign seasons remain the safety net for people turned away elsewhere, could shutter in the next few months.

Some political experts have been speculating that Donald Trump might win the popular vote in 2024 yet lose in the Electoral College, as Hillary Clinton did in 2016 and Al Gore in 2000 (and Grover Cleveland, Samuel Tilden, and Andrew Jackson before that).

As Americans head to the polls this week, they will contend with two competing realities of modern electoral politics. Voting is more secure than ever, thanks to increasingly stringent election security measures taken by state and local officials. At the same time, the persistent, ambient threats of political violence and widespread misinformation have inculcated a culture of fear and distrust for many voters.

Four years ago, heading into election day, the tension and foreboding that many people are feeling right now was slightly less-formed and more uncertain. Trump had suggested that the election was going to be stolen from him, but we hadn’t yet seen armed Trump supporters surround the bland office buildings where votes would be tallied. Trump had declined to promise a peaceful transition of power, but the shape that would take on January 6 was not clear.

U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar has an incredibly difficult job. Every day, it falls to her to prepare the best possible legal arguments in front of a 6–3 conservative Supreme Court on behalf of a Democratic administration. Truly, this is not for the weak of heart. From abortion rights to gun control to environmental regulations, Prelogar has expertly argued for liberal priorities before the likes of Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch.

If the polls are to be trusted, the 2024 presidential election will be decided by razor-thin margins: somewhere in the agonizing space between Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat and Joe Biden’s 2020 victory. Since August, pollsters have consistently shown a dead heat in the seven swing states that will almost certainly decide the election. Pennsylvania, the most likely tipping-point state, has been the tightest of them all, with most poll aggregators giving either candidate a lead of less than half of a percentage point.

Democrats have been getting a hidden advantage not revealed by the polls.

The results of the presidential election could come down to which candidate has convinced the American people that they are the best choice to handle the economy. Vice President Harris and former President Trump have been pursuing fundamentally different strategies on the economy, which has polled as the top issue for voters in Tuesday’s general...

Neither Vice President Harris nor former President Trump have voluntarily disclosed their top campaign fundraisers as of Election Day, upending a bipartisan tradition that dates back to 2000. Campaigns are not legally required to disclose their top fundraisers, often referred to as “bundlers,” unless they are an active, registered federal lobbyist. But since President George...

The Republican and Democratic parties are both facing a crossroads in Tuesday’s election, which is likely to determine the direction each takes over the next few years.   If former President Trump defeats Vice President Harris, he would secure the transformation of the GOP from the protrade, proimmigration and globalist party that former President Reagan...
