Shortly after the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series, the streets of Los Angeles descended into complete chaos.

As the Dodgers secured the game-five win in the World Series, Dodgers fans and criminals looking to wreak havoc took to the streets en masse.

The Los Angeles Police Department reported that several stores, including a Nike store, were looted during the World Series celebrations.

The LAPD further reported a bus was set on fire near Dodgers Stadium just shortly after midnight.

Per NBC News:

A bus was set on fire, shops were looted and fireworks thrown at police in scenes of lawlessness and “absolute chaos” in downtown LA following the Dodgers’ historic World Series win over the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.

LAPD said at 10:43 p.m. (1:43 ET Thursday) on X that there were reports of several stores being looted on Broadway and 8th Street. Various videos posted to social media, including one shared by the official LAPD X account, showed people walking out of a Nike store holding goods.

An unknown number of people have been arrested in connection with the disturbances.

Police issued a dispersal order because of fireworks and projectiles being thrown at officers. Then a “hostile crowd” surrounded an MTA bus on Echo Park Avenue, a short distance from the Dodger Stadium, at around 12:35 a.m. (3:35 a.m. ET) and set it on fire, police said.

The driver and five passengers managed to leave the bus before the fire started, the transport authority said.

The Dodgers defeated the Yankees 7-6 to win the World Series after the Yankees blew a 5-0 lead in the 5th inning.

In a serious breach of election security, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office left voting system passwords publicly accessible on the state’s website for several months.

Despite discovering the exposure on October 24, Griswold’s team only began to change the leaked passwords after the Colorado GOP brought the issue to light.

For months, passwords necessary to access Colorado’s voting systems in 63 out of the state’s 64 counties were available on a hidden tab of a spreadsheet on the Secretary of State’s website.

The exposed information included one of the two passwords required to modify each county’s voting machine configurations, with data listed by serial number, model, and county.

While this alone ‘may not provide full access,’ security experts have expressed concern that even partial passwords should never have been made public.

Griswold’s office did not notify local election officials until the GOP exposed the security risk, underscoring a major lapse in transparency. A spokesperson from her office later stated that federal agencies, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), were informed promptly and that an internal investigation was underway.

During an interview with 9News’ Kyle Clark, Griswold did not answer if the incident would be investigated by their office or if it involved a third party.

Kyle Clark: Is your office solely responsible for investigating this, or is there an outside agency involved?

Jena Griswold: This is a straightforward case of a civil servant uploading a spreadsheet with some passwords. Two sets of passwords are required for access, and we notified CISA immediately.

At the same interview, Clark turned to Griswold’s apparent double standard and reminded her of her previous statement, where she labeled the unauthorized release of any voting system password as a serious breach.

He noted her office’s firm stance in 2021 during a similar incident involving Tina Peters, who faced severe legal consequences for accessing voting systems in her attempt to safeguard election integrity.

Kyle Clark: You frequently warn of insider threats to elections. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security defines an insider threat as someone who uses authorized access, wittingly or unwittingly, to do harm. Did the actions of your office constitute an insider threat?

Jena Griswold: No.

Kyle Clark: Why do you say that?

Jena Griswold: For several reasons. First, this does not pose an immediate security threat to Colorado’s elections. Colorado has multiple layers of security. There are two unique passwords held by different parties to access voting equipment, and physical access is also required. These passwords must be used in person. Under Colorado law, we have secure rooms, restricted access, and 24/7 video recording of all election equipment. Additionally, we use paper ballots and conduct risk-limiting audits. Our elections are some of the most secure in the nation, and many of these security measures have been enhanced since 2021.

Kyle Clark: In 2021, when Mesa County’s voting system passwords leaked, your office stated that the disclosure of BIOS passwords alone constituted a serious breach. By that standard, did your office commit a serious breach of security protocols?

Jena Griswold: No. The situation in Mesa County was distinct. Tina Peters was just convicted, and we were actively investigating a broader breach in Mesa County.

Kyle Clark: But your office said the public disclosure of BIOS passwords alone constituted a serious breach. Now that your office has leaked passwords, does that constitute a serious breach?

Jena Griswold: The statement was part of a broader press release. The situation with Mesa County involved two sets of unauthorized passwords and a larger security breach. Our security measures have improved since then, with 24/7 surveillance and access badges.

Kyle Clark: The wording used by your office was that passwords alone constituted the breach. What have you done to determine whether those passwords were used by an unauthorized person?

Jena Griswold: We began an investigation immediately and have no reason to believe there are any breaches. Federal partners are assisting, and we are examining access logs and chain-of-custody records.

Kyle Clark: In 2021, you ordered Mesa County to stop using machines for which passwords were leaked. Why no similar order now?

Jena Griswold: In Mesa County, both passwords were used, and unauthorized access occurred. With our improved security measures, we have no evidence of a similar situation here.

The public outcry led Governor Jared Polis to release a statement saying he had been briefed on the incident, initially claiming that “all passwords have been changed.” When informed by 9NEWS that this was incorrect, Polis’s office issued a revised statement that removed the claim but failed to explain the initial inaccuracy.

A spokesperson for @GovofCO Polis said he’d been briefed on election security and was assured all the leaked passwords had been changed. When 9NEWS informed Polis’ office that some leaked passwords are still in use, his office sent a statement with that sentence removed.

Former Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams believes this oversight deserves more than just a simple password reset.

“We need to have an inspection occur of each of the machines that the passwords were potentially disclosed,” Williams said.

A Washington woman was stunned to discover 16 unopened ballots addressed to different names, flooding her mailbox just days before the critical Election Day.

Jami Visaya, who moved into her new Bellevue apartment in early October, received the ballots that raised immediate red flags about the reliability of Washington’s mail-in voting system.

“I was in complete shock,” Visaya told KING 5. Moving in with her son only four weeks ago, she never anticipated the heap of ballots, all with unfamiliar names, being sent to her new address.

The issue emerged with the first wave of nine ballots, which Visaya attempted to return to the USPS for proper handling.

“There were about nine voter registration ballots that were not mine. They were addressed to other people, and so I thought that was strange, so I ended up returning them to the post office here.”

“[I] said, ‘Can you please make sure that these get to who they’re going to?’ And he just said he had a process that the post office follows,” she said.

Days later, another seven ballots, also addressed to unknown individuals, arrived. With her ballot now surrounded by others with last names indicating possibly “Indian descent and possibly Middle Eastern,” Visaya found herself grappling with whether Washington’s vote-by-mail system is prepared to protect the integrity of every vote.

“I feel like it’s not fair for these individuals who do not have their ballot,” she said, and pointedly added her concern about the election’s integrity as a whole.

When KING 5 News reached out to the King County Elections Office, Chief of Staff Kendall LeVan Hodson suggested the ballots could have been meant for previous tenants who hadn’t updated their addresses.

But this reasoning fell short as Visaya noted that her building management confirmed no one had lived in the unit for at least three months prior to her move-in.

In a phone call arranged by KING 5, Visaya confronted Hodson, stating, “In 30 years of voting, I’ve never had that many ballots that don’t belong to me, you know?”

KIRO 7 also reported on this alarming incident:

Visaya returned them to the King County Election office which is working to find the status and location of the people whose names are on the envelopes.

“We won’t know until we get into the weeds a little bit but we should be able to figure out what the story is and they ended up going to places when they should have been going to somewhere else,” said Kendall Hodson, the King County Elections Chief of Staff.

If they find the voters moved, they will try to get them replacement ballots by November 5. If they show up on another state’s voter rolls, they will be removed from Washington’s. Jami said she has voted without issue and hopes the people who don’t have their ballots can make their voices heard.

“My real hope is that they somehow find their way to their owner,” Visaya said.

Hodson wasn’t surprised this happened at an apartment complex but says 16 ballots is more than what usually gets reported.

“If you don’t update your mailing address when you move, we’re still going to mail that ballot to your old house and that’s totally fine,” Hodson said.

If someone more nefarious than Visaya tried to fill out the ballots, Hodson said the unique bar code would have verified if the voter was registered, caught if the real voter had already voted and signature verification would catch a fraudulent signature.

“We’re not going to even open that ballot until we’ve done those three things to confirm that they are able to vote,” Hodson said.

Phil Murphy thought he was just another guest on CNBC’s Squawk Box, but seasoned host Joe Kernen had other plans, grilling the far-left governor on his unwavering loyalty to the Biden-Harris regime’s radical policy positions.

Murphy’s attempt to dance around tough questions left him visibly stammering, dodging, and floundering.

Kernen came out of the gate with a rapid-fire checklist of Harris’s radical proposals: ending the filibuster, abolishing private insurance, decriminalizing illegal crossings, gun buybacks, and taxpayer-funded gender surgeries for inmates.

Yet, rather than respond with a clear position, Murphy deflected, accusing Kernen of sounding “like you’re on the Trump campaign for crying out loud.”

Undeterred, Kernen pressed Murphy on each specific issue, exposing the governor’s evasions with each follow-up.

Joe Kernen: So, Governor, if we went down a checklist, you like all the things that… You like Kamala Harris, not just against. So, let me ask you, do you believe we should abolish the filibuster? How about getting rid of private insurance? How about taxing unrealized gains? How about nationalizing energy? How about mandatory gun buybacks like Australia? How about decriminalizing illegal crossings, ending cash bail, child gender reassignment surgery being paid for in prison? Raising the corporate tax rate? What are your favorite proposals from Kamala Harris that make you like her so much?

Phil Murphy: Joe, for a Jersey guy, you sound like you’re on the Trump campaign for crying out loud. Come on, man… you’re cherry-picking stuff.

Joe Kernen: Which of those do you like? Which of those are you in favor of? Are you in favor of ending the filibuster? We’ll go one by one.

Phil Murphy: I’m not sure on the filibuster, honestly, but I think getting a fair tax rate…

Joe Kernen: You’re not going to talk about any specifics… What’s that?

As the discussion turned to taxes, Kernen, a New Jersey resident himself, wasn’t about to let Murphy off the hook. Murphy, who has long championed “tax fairness,” dodged specifics when asked what he considered a “fair” tax rate and accused Kernen again of sounding “like [he’s] on the Trump campaign.”

Phil Murphy: I said I think fair tax policy is sensible.

Joe Kernen: What does that mean, fair?

Phil Murphy: Fair means you pay what you should pay.

Joe Kernen: Well, you know I live in your state, Governor. Do you think if I pay 55% total, is that fair, or do I need to pay 80%? What would be fair for you? Because I live in your state.

Phil Murphy: Joe, I said that up front. Believe me, I know you do. But you sound like you’re on the Trump campaign.

Joe Kernen: Well, is that fair?

Phil Murphy: I don’t know what the right number is.

[…]

Phil Murphy: We passed a millionaire’s tax five years ago. Everybody, Joe, including you, said it would drive people out of New Jersey. We have more millionaires today than we’ve ever had in our history. So tax fairness isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Joe Kernen: We have a very progressive tax system. Do you think we have a progressive tax system in the United States? Do you think it’s not progressive enough, or are you talking about billionaires? Because you know how much the 1% does pay the lion’s share of federal taxes. So what does fair mean?

Phil Murphy: I’m open-minded. I’ve obviously voted with my feet. We have a millionaire’s tax in New Jersey.

Joe Kernen: Would you tax unrealized gains?

Phil Murphy: We’re not a low-cost state to live in, but we give you an enormous amount back for what you pay.

Joe Kernen: Are you in favor of taxing unrealized gains?

Phil Murphy: We’re the number one state in America to raise a family… No, I’m not wild about unrealized gains, but I’m open-minded.

Joe Kernen: What are you wild about? Not Trump?

The showdown hit a boiling point when Kernen pointed out the elephant in the room—the weaponization of the DOJ under the current administration and Biden’s own hateful rhetoric.

Murphy couldn’t handle the heat. When asked if he believed Harris, Biden, and their allies were using the DOJ to crush political dissent, Murphy responded with denial, “Joe, you’ve got to be kidding me.”

When Murphy attempted to push the narrative of Puerto Rico as “a floating pile of garbage,” Kernen quickly reminded him of Biden’s recent remark, where he labeled Trump supporters as “garbage.”

In a last-ditch effort to deflect, Murphy admitted that Biden’s comment was “about the people in Madison Square Garden,” proving Kernen’s argument. “So they were garbage. Okay,” Kernen responded.

Phil Murphy: Here’s what I’m wild about. I’m wild about a democracy that works. I’m wild about the rich history of our country continuing for the future. I’m wild about opponents having a voice and having a seat at the table, as opposed to being thrown in jail or hunted down by our military. That’s what I’m wild about.

Joe Kernen: But we might throw Trump in jail. The Justice Department was not weaponized under Trump; it’s been weaponized under the current administration, right?

Phil Murphy: Joe, come on. You’ve got to be kidding me.

Joe Kernen: Okay. I don’t know. I haven’t seen Trump throw anyone in jail, but I have seen a lot of lawfare against Trump.

Phil Murphy: You’ve got to be kidding me… There’s no rational viewer right now watching this discussion that thinks Harris is the authoritarian threat versus Trump. There’s no one who’s reasonable who comes to that conclusion. How could you?

Joe Kernen: You just look around. You want me to go over the five cases that we’re talking about… Alvin Bragg? Those were all misdemeanors, trumped up to felonies after the statute of limitations. You don’t think that’s lawfare?

Phil Murphy: Alvin Bragg doesn’t work for Kamala Harris. You and I both know that.

Joe Kernen: Okay, I’m talking about if either candidate is in danger of using the Justice Department to punish enemies; what we’ve seen recently is not from Trump. Is there some reason you think that’s going to happen with him? Is it his rhetoric?

Phil Murphy: Joe, I’m having a hard time believing we’re having this conversation. Are you kidding me? Did you see what happened on Sunday in Madison Square Garden? Have you followed what he said about what he’s going to do against his enemies?

Joe Kernen: Did you see what Joe Biden said last night, that all the Trump supporters are garbage? And that wasn’t a joke. That was the sitting President of the United States. And that wasn’t some comedian that no one knew what he was going to say. That was Biden himself. Did you see that? Trump supporters were garbage?

Phil Murphy: I saw it, and he said specifically it was about the people who were in Madison Square Garden, and you and I both know that’s what he said.

Joe Kernen: So they were garbage. Okay.
