In Freedom Town, which is accessible through Epic Games Inc.s Fortnite platform, there are campaign signs for Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

Puerto Rico's G.O.P. Chairman Demands Apology From Trump for Comic's Remarks
Puerto Ricos Republican Party chairman said on Monday that he would withhold his support from former President Donald J. Trump unless he apologized for racist remarks that an insult comic made about the U.S. territory on Sunday during Mr. Trumps rally at Madison Square Garden.
While residents of U.S. territories are not eligible to vote for president, Angel M. Cintrón, the islands G.O.P. chairman, called on Mr. Trump to personally disavow comments made by the comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, in an opening speech at his rally that referred to Puerto Rico as a a floating island of garbage.
Otherwise, Mr. Cintrón said during a talk show appearance, he would not be casting a symbolic ballot in the election for Mr. Trump, whose nomination he helped cement in July during a roll call at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee when Puerto Rico awarded all 23 of its G.O.P. delegates to the former president. (Puerto Ricans are American citizens, and they are eligible to vote as residents in states. A sizable number of Puerto Ricans live in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state.)
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday night.

MT-GOV: Gianforte votes in Gallatin County, again raising question of constitutional residency requirement
Gov. Greg Gianforte voted again with a voter registration address in Gallatin County despite a requirement in the Montana Constitution that the governor reside at the seat of government.
Helena is the seat of government in Montana.
The Montana Secretary of State Offices searchable voter portal indicates Gianforte, a Republican, used his Bozeman address to register to vote and his 2024 election ballot was accepted.
Earlier this year, a Great Falls lawyer reviewed Montanas residency requirement and records related to Gianforte.
Caitlin Boland Aarab said she believes there is compelling evidence the governor does not meet the residency requirement given that he votes and pulls hunting tags outside of Helena, and he is a taxpayer for the Bozeman home for which his wife signed for a tax rebate.

Texas judge accused of breaking law after asking his university students to vote for him
A candidate running against a Central Texas district judge is accusing her opponent of using his adjunct teaching position at Texas State University to encourage students to campaign and vote for him, violating state law.
According to a letter sent to Texas State President Kelly Damphousse by a lawyer representing Alicia Key, Judge Tanner Neidhardt emailed his students on Oct. 21 asking them to vote for him and to encourage their friends to do so as well.
Any student who helped campaign for him at the on-campus polling location would receive a free campaign t-shirt and pizza, according to a screenshot of the email provided to The Texas Tribune by Keys attorney, Chevo Pastrano.
Ive always told you that you will make a difference in the future of our justice system, Neidhardt wrote. In fact, you can make a difference right now. When you support a judge committed to a better justice system, I can keep working to improve it.

Torrance County Clerk apologizes for return address mishap on estimated 140 ballots
The lead elections official in Torrance County is apologizing and assuring voters that their ballots will be counted after workers mistakenly mailed about 140 absentee ballots without return address labels.
Republican Torrance County Clerk Linda Jaramillo said the clerks office had received more than 100 of those now-completed ballots back as of Friday.
This was an isolated incident, said Jaramillo in an interview with Source NM. It has never happened to my board before, and I apologize.
Elections workers on the countys absentee board failed to add the return labels to a batch of ballots that they were sending out in early October, Jaramillo said. The 140 affected voters only for about 1% of the countys more than 10,000 voters.
