Hillary Clinton Kicks off Multi-City Tour in Sanford to Encourage Early Voting

With one week left until Election Day, Hillary Clinton is stopping in Sanford to convince voters that the nation’s next president should be her. This will be the Clinton’s second visit to central Florida in the past four days.
It is part of her campaign’s aggressive ground game which includes visits from celebrities and dignitaries in tandem with “Get Out the Early Vote” events across central Florida. Clinton is expected to tailor her message to Puerto Rican and Black voters, as well as young, on-the-fence voters who started out supporting Bernie Sanders.

 
The campaign is hoping to widen a margin of victory with in-person early voting and mail in ballots. After her visit to Sanford, Clinton is scheduled to appear in Tampa and Fort Lauderdale.

 
The multi-city tour is taking place as the FBI investigates whether a new set of emails is related to Clinton’s handling of classified information while serving as Secretary of State.

 
Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick Mike Pence wraps up a tour of central Florida Monday with stops in Clearwater, Cocoa, and Maitland.
 
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is scheduled to rally in Orlando on Wednesday.

    Supreme Court rejects call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide
    The Associated Press
    The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The justices on Monday turned away an appeal from a former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the Supreme Court's 2015 ruling. Clerk Kim Davis had been trying to get the justices to overturn a lower-court order that she pay $360,000 in damages and attorney's fees. Justice Clarence Thomas has urged his colleagues to overturn the Supreme Court's marriage decision, much as they did in 2022 when the high court overturned the right to abortion.

    Gray Catbirds – “Skulkers” and Hunters in Dense Vegetation
    Dr. Jerry Jackson
    Gray Catbirds are in a bird family known as the “Mimidae” – because they mimic other birds, other animals, and even mechanical sounds. Other members of their family in Florida include the Brown Thrasher and the Northern Mockingbird – two excellent mimics that we often see and hear year-round as they feed, sing, and nest in relatively open vegetation. They often mimic the vocalizations of other bird species and it has been suggested that their mimicry may send the message that the area is crowded – and cause other birds to search for food elsewhere.
