The legislation, Senate Bill 202, was passed along party lines by Georgia’s General Assembly with votes of 100-75 in the House and 34-20 in the Senate about an hour before Kemp signed it. The bill limits absentee ballots and early voting, restricts ballot drop boxes and imposes tough new voter ID requirements. It also allows the state, currently controlled by Republicans, to take over county election boards that the state deems problematic....

Superficially, ““The Crossing’’ is a rewrite of ““All the Pretty Horses.’’ The period is still mid-20th century, although the second book takes place a few years before the first (and none of the first book’s characters reappears). Again, two teenagers on horseback travel from the American Southwest into Mexico. There they pursue violent and vivid adventure. And there the comparisons stop. Where the first book was – by McCarthy’s standards – an almost bucolic romance, a hymn to the pluck of youth and the allure of the Western landscape, the second remorselessly chronicles a boy’s journey from youth to bitter experience....

Although it is still mathematically possible for United to get into the top four, such a scenario seems rather unlikely, with fourth-place Arsenal five points ahead having played two fewer matches. Still, the Red Devils will be aiming to ensure that they at least secure a place in the Europa League in their final two games of 2022/23. Brighton, meanwhile, beat Arsenal and Tottenham last month but also suffered a heavy defeat to Manchester City....

Sydney documented 19 new infections on Australia’s east coast, while Perth reported two new cases on the west coast. Northern Australia’s Darwin also recently reported two new infections. Despite Australia’s success in limiting the COVID-19 impact, with less than 31,000 cases and 910 total deaths, a slow vaccination campaign and vaccine hesitancy have left the nation’s population susceptible to the virus. Just 5 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, and Australia has made the AstraZeneca vaccine available to all adults despite reports of blood clots caused by the shot, the Associated Press reported....

The B.1.1.7 variant has filled 90 percent of hospital beds in Italy’s Brescia province, which is located in the northern region of Lombardy.

It has all the trappings of a vibrant democracy. But behind the speeches and the shouting, our democracy is on life-support. Parliament, the bedrock of Britain’s democratic system, has been suspended by an executive dangerously out of control. Government over-reach under Boris Johnson is at new levels. The crisis facing us is no longer just a no-deal Brexit, though that is serious enough. We are now facing an assault on our democracy itself....

In a few years, Peyton Manning will follow suit, having surpassed all of that. Excuse me, however, if I think Favre reminds us a lot more of the more enjoyable quarterback to watch in Super Bowl 50 — newly minted NFL MVP Cam Newton. Full disclosure: While respecting the legendary career of Manning and its lasting effect on NFL history, whether or not Sunday is his last game, I will not go down as close to his biggest fan....
