Margin shrink drives GOP court losses in Kennedy win
Republican groups lost two court bids to overturn Kennedy margins in Illinois and Texas. New York canvass trimmed Kennedy’s tally by 20,869, leaving a 0.168 percent national two party lead. Illinois, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island未 reported final counts. Kennedy maintains 300 electoral votes. Unpledged electors from Mississippi and Alabama urged Byrd support to shift the race to the House, but odds are slim.

Supreme Court voids Arkansas teacher affiliations law
The court ruled the 1958 Arkansas statute requiring annual affidavits listing origi nizations teachers supported or contributed to is too broad and infringes associational freedom. Justice Stewart wrote for a 5-4 majority. Justices Harlan, Frankfurter, Clark, and Whittaker dissented, arguing the law did not prove racial discrimination or violate constitutional limits. The decision targets the law’s sweeping reach rather than specific abuses.
