(AP) \u2014 North Dakota\u2019s top election official says an effort to recall a state legislator can\u2019t occur now that a new redistricting map has been approved. Secretary of State Al Jaeger on Thursday announced that he rescinded the petition to recall GOP Rep. Dwight Kiefert because an election will be held in his district in less than a year. Kiefert won reelection last year. But he must run again next year to keep his seat because the redrawn legislative map adds a third incumbent. The effort to recall Kiefert was largely over his vote to expel GOP Rep. Luke Simons who was accused of sexually harassing women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The North Dakota Department of Health dashboard is updated daily by 11 am and includes cases reported through the previous day.

(AP) \u2014 A new monthly survey of bankers in rural parts of 10 Plains and Western states suggests rising economic growth in the region, but confidence in the economy&#8217;s future continued to drop. The overall Rural Mainstreet economic index rose in November to 67.7 from October\u2019s 66.1. Any score above 50 suggests growth. The survey&#8217;s confidence index, which reflects bank CEO expectations for the economy six months out, sank for the fifth straight month to 48.4 in November. That&#8217;s the lowest level since August of last year and down from October\u2019s 51.8.

(AP) \u2014 The judge at Kyle Rittenhouse\u2019s murder trial banned MSNBC from the courthouse Thursday after police said they briefly detained a man who had followed the jury bus and may have tried to photograph jurors. Judge Bruce Schroeder said the man had claimed to be working for MSNBC. NBC News said the man was a freelancer who never contacted or intended to contact the jurors during deliberations and never intended to photograph them. The jurors are anonymous by order of the court. Schroeder said they were riding in a bus whose windows had been covered over to keep them from seeing any signs about the case. Schroeder said the matter is under further investigation.<\/p>\n<p>OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) \u2014 Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has stopped the execution of Julius Jones, just hours before he was scheduled to be put to death. Stitt announced Thursday he was using his authority to commute Jones&#8217; sentence to life in prison with no chance of parole. The state\u2019s Pardon and Parole Board had recommended that Stitt commute Jones\u2019 sentence. The 41-year-old Jones was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to die for the shooting death of businessman Paul Howell during a carjacking. Jones has maintained his innocence, alleging he was framed by a co-defendant who testified against him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) \u2014 The man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery has testified that the 25-year-old Black man did not speak, show a weapon or threaten him in any way before he raised his shotgun and pointed it at him. On his second day of testimony Thursday, Travis McMichael said he was \u201cunder the impression\u201d that Arbery could be a threat because he was running straight at him and he had seen Arbery trying to get into the truck of a neighbor. McMichael is one of three white men on trial for murder. He and his father and a neighbor chased down Arbery after seeing him running through their neighborhood on Feb. 23, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) \u2014 Hundreds of pastors are rallying at the Georgia courthouse where three white men are on trial in the killing of Ahmed Arbery. The mostly Black group gathered Thursday in response to a defense lawyer\u2019s bid to keep Black ministers out of the courtroom. Many carried signs that said \u201cBlack pastors matter,\u201d and some wore buttons with Arbery\u2019s picture. The Rev. Al Sharpton announced the rally after a defense attorney said he didn\u2019t want \u201cany more Black pastors\u201d sitting in the Glynn County courtroom with Arbery\u2019s family. The February 2020 shooting death of the 25-year-old Black man deepened a national outcry over racial injustice after cellphone video of the death leaked two months later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. (AP) \u2014 Lawyers for nine people hurt during the \u201cUnite The Right\u201d rally in Charlottesville have told a jury that white nationalists \u201cplanned, executed and then celebrated\u201d racially motivated violence that left one counterprotester dead and dozens more injured. The closing arguments come in a lawsuit seeking to hold two dozen white nationalists, neo-Nazis and white supremist organizations accountable for the violence that erupted in 2017. The defendants deny any conspiracy and said their pre-rally boasting was protected by the First Amendment. One woman was killed and dozens were injured when an avowed white supremacist rammed his car into counterprotesters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; THURSDAY NIGHT\u2026Increasing clouds.
