Trump plans crowdfunded exit poll Donald Trump loyalists will attempt to conduct their own crowdfunded exit polling on Election Day, ostensibly due to fears that electronic voting machines in certain areas may have been "rigged", the Guardian has learned. The effort, led by Trump's notorious informal adviser Roger Stone, will focus on 600 different precincts in nine Democrat-leaning cities with large minority populations, a tactic branded highly irregular by experts, who suggested that organizers could potentially use polling as a way to intimidate voters. Trump loyalists plan own exit poll amid claims of 'rigged' election Will the west turn blue? Across the towns and cities of bone-dry Arizona, voters and pollsters have started to ask openly about a change that seemed nearly glacial, if not impossible, not so long ago: could Democrats take the American west? An Arizona Republic poll released Wednesday showed Clinton up by five percentage points. Nevada, another toss-up state, showed Clinton ahead by seven, and she has an apparent lock on Colorado and New Mexico. Arizona asks 'the unprecedented': could Democrats sweep the west? Clinton's problem with young black voters There's no question that black voters will support Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in large numbers, but the real question is whether they will actually come out and vote for her. Democrats believe they need a turnout of black voters on par with the numbers reached during the 2008 and 2012 election. As they anxiously try to rally their bases, the concern is that there is limited enthusiasm from black millennial voters. Why should we trust you?

First Megyn Kelly lit into Trump over the candidate's insulting remarks about women. Then came the ousting of Fox's founder and chairman Roger Ailes, who left the network in disgrace in July amid a series of allegations of sexual misconduct. Now the chaos of the Trump candidacy is tearing the network in two. But this is the logical conclusion of what Fox News spent nearly 20 years sowing in rightwing politics. Can Fox News survive the forces it unleashed on the 2016 election? The plight of central American migrants A Médecins Sans Frontières study has found that nine out of 10 migrants seen by the charity's psychologists this year have showed symptoms of anxiety or depression caused by violence and threats suffered during their journeys. As a US-sponsored immigration crackdown has forced migrants to use more perilous routes through Mexico. Two-thirds of migrants interviewed at shelters across the country reported suffering at least one violent attack – such as assault, rape or kidnapping – during their journey, according to a survey shared exclusively with the Guardian. Central American migrants showing record levels of mental health problems Trump's insult to all women Clinton can take pride in being Nasty-Woman-in-chief of the United States, writes Arwa Mahdawi. There are few of us who haven't been called the same at some point in our lives. It often happens at the bar. A guy comes over to you and pays you a compliment. It's a real honor; he's taken time out from socializing with his friends to talk to you! Instead of understanding how much of an honor it is, however, you tell him that you're not really interested. He informs you, in so many words, that you're a Nasty Woman. 'Nasty woman' is an insult we know only too well Arsenal manager warns of complacency On the back of a run of seven consecutive wins, team manager Arsène Wenger is urging his players to keep their wits about them within the pack at the top of the Premier League. "We live in a jungle where everybody wants to eat you, and you have to survive by keeping your vigilance," he said. "That's what competition is about. Every day you have to fight again to survive. I believe that humility is to understand that you start again from zero." Arsène Wenger warns Arsenal to avoid complacency in Premier League 'jungle' Lupita Nyong'o, Queen of Katwe Since 12 Years A Slave, the beautiful Lupita Nyong'o has landed roles in Star Wars and The Jungle Book and dined with the Obamas. Now she's playing the mother of a chess prodigy in Queen of Katwe. But queen or not, her reputation for being demanding follows her. It is not, I realise, that Nyong'o is haughty, more that she is atypical of her peers; she isn't on a charm offensive, just businesslike: articulate and smart, clipped and polite. "I don't feel a need to be anyone but myself," she says. Lupita Nyong'o: 'Art is political in whatever way you slice it' In case you missed it ... It took Bob Dylan the best part of a week to acknowledge that he had been awarded the Nobel prize in literature, and even then only in the most dismissive way: an update to a page on his website plugging a new collection of his lyrics. But now it appears even that paltry nod went too far for the music legend. Bob Dylan, Nobel laureate, is once again plain Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan removes mention of Nobel prize from website |
