π Good morning, RootBadger. Saturday brings a federal appeals-court move in Idaho and a practical check before Election Day.
ποΈ Reuters morning read: A U.S. appeals court on Friday paused an August ruling that required Idaho to allow abortions when needed to protect a pregnant patient's health, not only to prevent death. Reuters reports that the earlier decision found the state's near-total ban unconstitutional because its exceptions did not cover serious health threats. The pause keeps that ruling from taking effect while the appeal proceeds.
π³οΈ Useful this morning: Before Tuesday, confirm where and when you can vote through your state or local election office. Vote.gov's guide links to official polling-place information and notes that opening and closing times vary by jurisdiction. Check the address even if you have voted there before, review your state's ID rules, and make a simple travel plan now rather than discovering a change on Election Day.
