Yet, they knew people were eagerly anticipating their first pilot project and some had traveled from all over the country to be there in person as it went live Friday. All 30 panels — the LEDs, heaters and solar cells — had been tested and worked. What they hadn’t counted on was the lamination — the last step in the manufacturing process — taking so long.

When Zombies, Aliens, and Felons Steal Our Votes
A recent report by the Public Interest Legal Foundation and Virginia Voters Alliance lists thousands of noncitizens who were registered to vote and cast ballots in elections in Virginia and Pennsylvania.
