  • My name is Thomas Gibbons.

  • I'm a journalist at the New York Times.

  • I served in the Marine Corps as an infantryman.

  • When it comes to reporting on the front line, I think nothing is more important than talking to the people involved, you know, hearing their stories and being able to connect that with people thousands of miles away.

  • Anything that can make something like this more personal, I think is well worth the risk.

  • New York Times subscribers make it possible for us to keep doing this vital coverage.

  • From the New York Times, it's the headlines.

  • I'm Tracy Mumford.

  • Today's Thursday, October 31st.

  • Here's what we're covering.

  • Across the U.S.

  • more than 50 million voters have already cast their ballots.

  • The election's mostly been running smoothly, but the country is still on edge.

  • Authorities have warned about political violence and foreign powers spreading disinformation.

  • There are also concerns about how the actual counting of the votes will play out.

  • One of the concerns that state and local election officials have right now is what they call insider threats.

  • These would be people who are kind of well positioned or even running elections offices who would have ability to impact the election based on conspiracy theories.

  • Alexandra Berzon covers voting for the Times.

  • She says that people steeped in Donald Trump's false claims about rigged elections are now in some cases in charge of the election process in communities across the country.
