North Carolina works to reach voters on absentee errors
Thousands of NC voters face ballot defects as officials rush to implement updated guidance two weeks before Election Day. After a two week halt, state and federal courts have eased restrictions on handling missing witness signatures and other deficiencies. About 10,000 ballots statewide show problems, with some counties cleared while others have not contacted voters. In Durham, 24 year old Stephane Prieto learned her ballot was marked incomplete and may need reballoting. Authorities warned it will take days to reach all affected voters and enter the backlog into the database. Officials hope materials reach voters by early next week.

Purdue Pharma to plead guilty to three federal charges
Purdue Pharma will plead guilty to three federal criminal counts including conspiracy to defraud the United States and violating anti kickback laws as part of a bankruptcy settlement exceeding 8 billion dollars. The deal does not resolve criminal liability for Sackler family members or executives, and criticism says it falls short of holding them accountable. The announcement marks a high profile attempt by federal authorities to address opioid crisis tied to more than 470,000 U.S. deaths since 2000.
