1 Eight people were killed at three metro Atlanta spas in the span of about an hour yesterday. We still don't know a lot about the victims, but four have been described as being of Korean ethnicity, according to South Korea's foreign ministry.

Earlier, Atlanta's police chief had said at least four were female and appeared to be Asian. A 21-year-old suspect was taken into custody after a car chase, and police believe he was responsible for the three attacks.

2 A judge has struck down a state directive that encourages local election clerks to be very flexible when reviewing signatures on Michigan absentee ballots. 

The decision doesn’t apply to the recent fall election, of course, because it’s over. But the case is significant because the policy from Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson apparently would have applied to future elections, too. 

Benson told clerks last fall that they must presume that a signature on an absentee ballot envelope or ballot application is valid. 

Judge Christopher Murray says Benson’s directive was illegal because it didn’t go through a formal rule-making process that involves the Legislature.

A Georgia judge signaled Monday that he may unseal absentee ballots from Fulton County and allow a government watchdog group to investigate the ballots for signs of potential voter fraud.
