Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake's attempt to have all of Arizona's election ballots counted by hand was dead on arrival at the Supreme Court of the United States. Lake initially filed suit against then-Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs during her failed 2022 gubernatorial campaign, claiming that electronic ballot tabulators didn't provide a fair and accurate vote. A lower court found that the claims by Lake and former Arizona State Rep. Mark Finchem " a Republican who ran for Secretary of State in 2022 " were "baseless" and ordered financial sanctions against their lawyers, for making false and misleading statements to the court. Lake appealed. On Monday, the Supreme Court dismissed her appeal without comment, bringing an end to the case.


Four Germans were caught laying white roses in memory of Adolf Hitler at the house where the Nazi dictator was born in western Austria on the anniversary of his birth, and one gave a Hitler salute as they posed for photos, police said Monday. Hitler was born April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn. After lengthy wrangling over the future of the house where he was born, work started last year on turning it into a police station " a project meant to make it unattractive as a pilgrimage site for people who glorify Hitler. Police in Upper Austria province said the four Germans " two sisters and their partners, in their 20s and early 30s " went to the building Saturday to lay white roses in its window recesses. They posed in front of the house for photos, and one of the women gave the stiff-armed Hitler salute.
