Bill to Boost Presidential Security Passed; Georgia to Hand-count ballots | NTD News Today

by EditorR

The House voted unanimously on Friday in favor of a bipartisan bill to boost security for presidential nominees. It required a two-thirds majority to pass due to an expedited process. The bill requires the Secret Service to use consistent standards to determine the number of agents needed to protect presidents, vice presidents, and major candidates.

Georgia’s election board has voted to approve a new rule that requires millions of ballots to be manually counted on election day. Critics warn it could cause delays and errors, while supporters say it will ensure ballot-scanning machines are accurate.

The Israeli military says it killed senior Hezbollah military commander Ibrahim Aqil in an airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs. Lebanon’s health ministry said the strike killed 9 people and wounded 59 others. The strike inflicted another blow on Hezbollah after the terrorist group suffered an unprecedented attack earlier this week in which pagers and walkie-talkies used by its members exploded.
