Appearing on Fox News on Thursday night, Barr said mail-in voting plans were “grossly irresponsible” and threatened the integrity of the coming presidential and congressional races, despite research showing little voter fraud takes place among voters using mail-in ballots. The attorney general also told Fox News host Sean Hannity that it was “reckless and wrong” to conduct elections solely through mail-in ballots. “To do this when we’re a closely divided country as we are is playing with fire in my view,” Barr told Hannity last night....

If you’ve followed baseball’s Hall of Fame process at all over the past several years, you’ve no doubt heard voters — including myself (often) — complain about a crowded ballot. And you’re probably annoyed by now, either at us grumbling voters or at the Hall, which has long limited eligible BBWAA voters to 10 check marks on a ballot that includes 30-something players who made the cut. MORE: Derek Jeter tops list of newcomers on 2020 HOF ballot...

[HTML1] Thanks to their excellent work bringing the ultimate Batman experience to video games, many have been anticipating news on Rocksteady’s next project. With Batman: Arkham Knight wrapping up the Arkham saga, it creates the possibility that Rocksteady will tackle another superhero next. Rocksteady themselves have left hints at the possibility that they will help craft a larger DC video game universe, and their work with the Arkham games shows that they are more than capable of pulling such a feat off....

Batman Arkham Origins is arguably the most well-known name out of the aforementioned list of titles coming to the Xbox One’s backward compatibility service, yet many would likely rank it as the weakest entry in the entirety of the Arkham franchise, most likely due to the fact that Rocksteady Studios didn’t develop it. Nevertheless, while this is definitely a contentious subject among fans of the series, it’s safe to say that most would agree it’s still a high quality game with plenty of merits of its own and that its addition to the Xbox One’s backward compatibility program is ultimately a good thing....
