Madison police shot and killed a man during a chase and struggle after he pulled a knife and injured an officer. The incident has prompted widespread protests and calls for accountability from officials including Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers.
Former Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes withdrew from the Democratic primary for governor on July 30, 2026, less than two weeks before the August 11 election. Democrat Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist, was leading polls when Barnes exited the race.
Reports include David Crowley's narrow primary victory over socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial race, general congressional campaign activity in August, and multiple unrelated severe weather alerts across the US on August 24. These are distinct news categories with no connecting thread.

Nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots were rejected during California's June primary election, representing a sharp increase from previous primaries. Reports cite USPS reliability concerns and ballot processing issues as contributing factors.
