Two Hurricanes may strongly effect early voting, regular voting for those who had to evacuate and general running of the poll booths in places that are flooded as well as have building damage.  Many Southern states are affected.

Congress passed the stopgap spending bill on September 25 to keep government agencies funded into December, avoiding a shutdown, while pushing final spending decisions until after Election Day. The Senate passed the measure by a 78-18 vote. The House had approved it in a 341-82 vote.

The House Republican majority relied on Democrats to pass the legislation since many in the GOP generally opposed stopgap measures, and said that it did not do enough to rein in government spending.

The bill provided $20 billion for FEMA—the same amount the agency got last year. It also gave FEMA flexibility to draw on money as needed, but it left out billions that had been requested in supplemental disaster funding.  Some Florida congressmen want to reconvene to provide more funding.
