Summary
The CDC and the Health Department are moving to ban evictions through December for people who can’t pay because of the pandemic. New York City caved to pressure from teachers unions who threatened to strike over school reopenings, pushing back the start of in-person to later this month.
Legal battles over mail-in voting saw major developments in Texas, Iowa, and Georgia. An audit from the Inspector General of the USPS looked at primary elections over the summer, and found that over a million mail ballots didn’t get to voters on time.
And in headlines: Sheriff’s deputies in LA fatally shoot Dijon Kizzee, Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend was offered a plea deal if he implicated her in July, and Facebook and Google threaten to ground Australia from the news.

| 0:53.4 | with online only and begin some in person classes on the 21st. |
| 0:57.6 | Teachers are hoping that this extra delay will facilitate major updates to building safety |
| 1:01.2 | and allow for a system to be set up that would randomly test 10 to 20% of students and |
