Allen County shifted left more than any other in IN3. Why? The data center? More Democrats to fire up than other counties? The 2027 Mayor's race might show us the answer. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

Seems like a win for northeast Indiana
BREAKING: @INHouseGOP selects State Rep. Ben Smaltz as the next Indiana House Speaker. Smaltz introduced the failed bill last year to redraw Indiana’s congressional maps mid-decade. “I'm honored to be selected by my colleagues to serve as Speaker-elect and lead the House Republican caucus. We had a disappointing night last night, but Republicans maintained the majority in the House and we will continue to champion the common-sense, fiscally responsible leadership Hoosiers expect and deserve. We will continue to build on the progress we've made in Indiana and focus on the issues important to Hoosiers – lowering cost of living, growing our economy and expanding opportunity for Hoosiers across our state.” He replaces @tmhuston, who lost his bid for re-election. @FOX59 | @CBS4Indy

election day myth check: do gas prices get pushed down in swing states before elections? since 2006, in the 30 days before election day, battleground state prices fell 21¢ on avg. safe states fell 28¢. the national avg fell 22¢. swing states actually fell the least.
