51
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 5>Move to extend the mail in deadline comes after the

00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 5>campaigns for former President Donald Trump and Republican Senate candidate

53
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.560
<v Speaker 5>Dave McCormick sued Bucks County for voter suppression. They claimed

54
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 5>people were turned away before the original five pm deadline

55
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 5>on Tuesday, and we're not allowed to comple the whole

56
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 5>voting process at the Bucks County Administration building. Bucks County

57
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 5>officials claimed they followed the state's law, but the judge

58
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 5>found they violated Pennsylvania election code.

59
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Not as CBS's jan Caribillo. We's got some pretty warm

60
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>weather out there today. Temperature has got well into the seventies.

61
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>We hit eighty in a few places, and still at

62
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>eighty degrees in Norwood this afternoon, so there's plenty of

63
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 1>warmth out there. Keep the jacket at home, I guess

64
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>tonight for trick or treating partially the mostly cloudy skies.

65
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Later on, temperatures eventually fall back into the low sixties.

66
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 1>We may have a shower first thing tomorrow, then some

67
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 1>sunshine breaks back out, the temperatures climb into the mid

68
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>to upper seventies, and we do have red flag warnings

69
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.400

70
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Danger of fires around the region,

71
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 1>especially with the low humidity and some of the wind

72
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 1>gusts that could hit thirty or thirty five miles an hour. Tomorrow.

73
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 1>We will get in on cooler weather as we head

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 6>it up with a big puppy jacket.

84
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, or wear something underneath, like long sleeves and long

85
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 4>pants underneath.

<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is questioning the Department of Justice

99
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and its failure to hold TD Bank executives accountable. She

100
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>is calling it legal gymnastics that allowed the bank to

101
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 1>escape the death penalty. A settlement by the Justice Department

102
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>with TD Bank over money laundering and other charges did

103
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>not include any of the bank's high level executives, and Warren,

104

106
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 1>not face the full range of penalties that Congress hasn't

107
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>acted for banks that engage in criminal money laundering. Warren

108
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>notes the bank's crimes hurt hundreds of thousands of people.
