Vice President Kamala Harris is kicking off this final full week of campaigning in Philadelphia. She's to make a series of stops around the city a day after campaigning in Michigan with former First Lady Michelle Obama, who directed her remarks in Kalamazoo toward men and the fight over reproductive rights, saying a vote for Donald Trump is a vote against women's health. Are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety? And to the women listening, we have every right to demand that the men in our lives do better by us. Former President Trump was also in Pennsylvania yesterday seeking support from young men during

a rally at Penn State University. Kamala will destroy your inheritance, but much more importantly she's going to destroy your country. If you vote for me, I will ensure that you begin your careers, young people, in a roaring economy and a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

But as Jordan Wilkie of Member Station WITF reports, they did not release evidence showing fraud and large deliveries of registration forms common in presidential election years. The Lancaster County District Attorney says her office has confirmed violations of state law and election code for some forms among a batch of 2,500 submitted registrations. She did not say how many

forms are being investigated, which laws have allegedly been broken, or if charges will be brought. Jerry Feeser, a former elections director in a neighboring county, says third party get-out-the-vote groups often deliver large batches of registration applications at the deadline without checking the forms' validity. That's where you end up causing undue pressure on election offices because you're now basically wasting the election office's time.

J.D. BOOTH County election officials say no faulty registrations have been processed and all legitimate requests to register will be accepted by an election staff that is working overtime. For NPR News, I'm Jordan Wilkie in Harrisburg. J.D. BOOTH The electoral officials in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia say the ruling Georgia Dream Party won a majority, but the opposition

is crying foul. NPR's Charles Maines is in Moscow. The result allows Georgia Dream and its founder, the oligarch Bidzin Ivanishvili, to maintain their hold on power. The opposition parties and democratic watchdog groups refuse to recognize the legitimacy of the results, alleging vote tampering. They're now calling for sustained mass protests. The vote had been seen as a referendum on Georgia's European future, after the government openly embraced pro-Russian policies and anti-democratic rhetoric that put Georgia's European Union candidacy on hold.

Trammy made landfall in Vietnam today, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. In the Philippines, officials say the dead and missing has reached nearly 130. And President Ferdinand Marcos says many areas remain isolated with people in need of rescue. He said some areas received one to two months of rainfall in 24 hours.

Hundreds of members of the deaf and hard of hearing community from Maine and beyond gathered last night to commemorate the mass shootings in Lewiston. A year ago, 18 people were killed, including four deaf men. Maine Public Radio's Patty White has more. The shootings at a bowling alley and at a bar were the deadliest in Maine history and are also believed to be the deadliest for deaf individuals in the U.S. Survivors and loved

ones are still grieving, but the director of the Maine Association of the Deaf, Matt Webster, says through an interpreter that out of the tragedy, they've become even closer. I've noticed a large change in the community is more caring, get together, supporting each other since last year. Webster says the hearing population is also paying more attention to the communication barriers the deaf community faces. For NPR News, I'm Patty White in Portland, Maine. Los Angeles Dodgers have now claimed the first two games of baseball's best of seven World Series. L.A. beat the New York Yankees in Game 2 last night.

The series now shifting to New York amidkees in Game 2 last night. The series, now shifting to New York, amid uncertainty about Dodger star Shohei Otani. He left last night's game in the seventh inning with a partially dislocated shoulder after trying to steal second base. I'm Trial Snyder, NPR News.
