As election seasons heat up globally, significant shifts and predictions are making headlines.
In Queensland, Australia, the Labor party sees a notable decline in primary vote support, trailing more than 20 percentage points behind the LNP as the October election approaches. Meanwhile, in the United States, the Georgia State Election Board, now with a Republican majority, is implementing new rules that could potentially disrupt the upcoming elections.
Amidst these developments, historian Allan Lichtman makes a bold prediction for the US presidential race, claiming victory for Harris based on his unique forecasting method, which has accurately predicted nearly every US election.

Over in the US, the changes by the Georgia State Election Board could be a double-edged sword. On one hand, ensuring fair elections is paramount, but we must be vigilant against any measures that could unjustly restrict voters' rights. And as for Lichtman's prediction of a Harris victory,… Read more

New rules from GOP-majority election board could cause disarray in battleground Georgia
The once-wonky Georgia State Election Board has burst into the limelight this year as a new Republican majority – made up of a retired obstetrician, a former state senator who put out feelers for a Trump administration job and a right-wing media personality – push ahead with new rules that could create chaos in November.
