It notes Congress appropriating billions for Army and Navy and suggests funding remains robust under all circumstances. It surveys South American volatility, Argentina and Bolivia politics, and shifts in Argentina’s corn surplus exports. It reports Census voting estimates, with 10 percent of eligible voters reaching voting age since 1940, women voters outnumbering men for the first time, and varying turnout by state. Nebraska lists absentee voting strengths, and projected armed forces reach 12 million by November.
