It’s fertile ground for both Democrats and Republicans to test their strength among Latinos in a state where small margins decide who gets 20 electoral votes. It’s a place where Democratic nominee Kamala Harris can prove that her party still commands a large share of the demographic’s support, and where Trump’s campaign has been working to gain ground.” (AP)

“Having trouble finding your white car in the parking lot? It’s not your memory’s fault — today’s cars are blending together as colors get less popular and gray scale tones reign supreme, per Business Insider.
Today, less than 20% of vehicles are a color other than black, white, silver, or gray, whereas 32% of cars were red in 1991.
It’s not just a fashion choice — minimizing the amount of color is a way for automakers to cut costs on assembly lines.” (Business Insider)
