Deputies in rural northern Iredell County, North Carolina, are investigating a suspicious death after a body was discovered beside a parked vehicle with an open door near the intersection of Sandy Springs Road and Renegar Road.

Nebraska Attorney General Threatens Legal Action Over Lincoln Charter Petitions

Nebraska Attorney General Threatens Legal Action Over Lincoln Charter Petitions

Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers has threatened legal action against the City of Lincoln if it fails to submit three charter-election petitions. These petitions aim to change city election dates, set term limits for city council members, and allow certain residents outside city limits to vote. Hilgers sent a letter to the city attorney, demanding a response by Thursday regarding the city's intent to submit the petitions to the Lancaster County Election Commissioner by the September 1 statutory deadline. The City of Lincoln stated that ballot initiatives typically require a resolution passed by the city council, a process that usually takes two weeks. Hilgers alleges that public reporting suggests the city intends to disregard its constitutional obligation. The Good Government Lincoln Project submitted an initial batch of signatures in July, with over 65% rejected by the Lancaster County election commissioner, and approximately 70% of those rejections attributed to alleged fraud. Six out-of-state indi...
