"Someone's reading our texts": Tucker Carlson, UPS and the non-stolen Biden documents
Carlson implied he was the target of a deep-state plot when "damning" documents went missing. Then UPS found them

"Hi, Tucker, it's Roger," I wrote. "Did you make copies of those documents? Or did anyone take photos?"
"Of course," Carlson replied. "The point is, someone's reading our texts," he said, suggesting that the package was intercepted because his communications were being monitored.
This struck me as a wild claim. Carlson and I have no rapport; I have his phone number because he called me once in July about a story I was doing. We have spoken only that one time. When I then asked if he would be willing to share the copies of the documents with me, he replied, "Which Roger is this?"
Notorious GOP trickster Roger Stone later said in a text that, while his relationship with Carlson goes back 30 years, he had played no role thus far in the Hunter Biden smear fiasco.

Well, crap - COVID-19 cases close early voting location in Brevard County
https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/10/30/covid-19-cases-close-early-voting-location-in-brevard-county/ PALM BAY, Fla. The Brevard County Supervisor of Elections has temporarily closed the Palm Bay Administrative Office after election workers tested positive for coronavirus, officials said Friday.
Supervisor of Elections Lori Scott said the move was made out of an abundance of caution after consultation with the Department of Health. A news release from Scotts office did not say how many workers tested positive.
Scott said voters did not have direct exposure with those who tested positive for COVID-19 because of safety measure at the polling place, including half-inch ballistic glass between workers and voters.
...
Early voting will continue at nine other sites. A complete list of Brevards early voting sites is available at VoteBrevard.gov.
