US rightwing group planned $6m for anti-trans messaging in 2022 midterms
But the Women's Bill of Rights is a weapon in a war against gender equity being waged by a conservative non-profit women's group. Independent Women's Voice, or IWV, lobbies against the equal rights amendment, criticizes public school curriculum and opposes government-funded parental leave. Recently, they have turned their resources to fighting transgender rights. And, according to documents shared with the Guardian by watchdog True North Research, IWV budgeted nearly $6m to promote anti-trans messaging in 10 swing states in advance of last year's midterms...

"The absurdity of this recount is laughable. There is absolutely no circumstance under which this recount will change the result of the election. None. This is a waste of the recount requestor's money and it is a waste of taxpayer dollars because the deposit required under statute will in no way cover the actual costs of completing the recount."

Crime coverage on Fox News halved once US midterms were over
Gertz said Tucker Carlson, Fox News' most-watched host, had a big part to play in the coverage – and in how Republicans across the country used crime as an issue. In a monologue in August, Carlson advised Republican politicians to focus their campaigns on "law and order", which he said would result in a "red wave" in the midterms.

The Washington Post reported that Republicans spent nearly $50m on ads focused on crime between 5 September and 25 October, far outspending Democrats on the issue...
