Election campaigns heat up as ballot fires prompt federal investigation

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are intensifying their campaigns as Election Day approaches, with over 43 million ballots already cast. Harris is set to deliver a key speech today, while Trump holds events in Pennsylvania. Federal authorities are investigating fires that destroyed ballots in Oregon and Washington. The incidents are linked and appear to be intentional, raising concerns about election-related violence as the election nears. US airlines must now automatically refund passengers for significant flight delays or cancellations. This new rule, effective today, requires refunds within seven days for credit card purchases and 20 days for other payments, despite industry pushback.
