As the countdown to the November 5 presidential election begins, key dates are rapidly approaching. The first mail ballots will be sent out on September 6, followed by the first presidential debate on September 10. Former President Donald Trump is scheduled for sentencing in his New York hush money case on September 18, and early in-person voting will start in some states on September 20. Voter registration deadlines vary across states, with Georgia's cutoff on October 7, and Pennsylvania allowing mail ballot requests starting September 16. Both political parties are gearing up for contentious battles over voting rules and integrity, with the Republican National Committee actively challenging various regulations. This election season will likely see heightened legal disputes as both parties mobilize their resources and strategies.
