You’d be hard-pressed to find a swing state more swinging than Nevada. Over the past century, the candidate who won the state has been elected president in all but one election: 1976, when Gerald Ford won its three electoral votes but lost the election to Jimmy Carter.

Six electoral votes are at stake there now. For much of the year, neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton seemed to have a clear advantage, making it a fitting venue for the final presidential debate.

The most recent polling, though, has shown Hillary Clinton opening up something of a lead. The latest survey, from Monmouth University, gave her a seven-point advantage.

When Donald Trump apologized for saying in 2005 that he could grope women because of his celebrity, he immediately pointed to Bill Clinton as having done worse. Trump appeared before a debate alongside Clinton’s accusers and again mentioned the former president’s past while onstage with Hillary Clinton. But Trump’s argument was undercut when more women publicly came forward with allegations that he had groped or kissed them without consent.

Take a look at the pasts of both Trump and Bill Clinton and accusations against them.

Donald Trump's consistent lead in the USC/L.A. Times "Daybreak" poll of the election — and the gap between the poll and all other major surveys — has drawn a lot of attention. 

Most of the comments have come from partisans, either Trump supporters praising the poll for telling them what they'd like to believe or Clinton supporters attacking it for the opposite reason.

Ernie Tedeschi, an economist and former Treasury Department official who is adept at data analysis, looked at the issue differently. He wondered what was driving the difference between the Daybreak poll and other surveys.

A federal judge has denied a request for a second extension of the voter registration deadline for Georgia counties stricken by Hurricane Matthew.

U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. issued his order Wednesday after the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit seeking six additional days for new voters to sign up in Georgia's six coastal counties. The judge said the request for another deadline extension after early voting has begun "exponentially increases the disruption to Georgia's electoral process."

Last week, the same judge granted a similar request by a different legal group to push back the Oct. 11 registration deadline for only Chatham County, which includes Savannah. That extension lapsed Tuesday, giving new voters just a few extra days to join the rolls.

Debate highlights:

What: The third and final presidential debate of the 2016 election, featuring Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, moderated by Chris Wallace of Fox News.

There will be six 15-minute segments on these topics, in order: debt and entitlements; immigration; economy; Supreme Court; foreign hot spots; fitness to be president.

Ivanka Trump said Wednesday that she believes her father, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, will accept the results of the election.

“He’ll either win or he won’t win, and I believe he’ll accept the outcome either way,” Trump said at a women’s summit in Laguna Niguel.

She made the remarks as her father has increasingly been saying the election is rigged as he has slipped in the polls, leading to fears among politicians of both parties that he was trying to delegitimize the election before it happens.

Presidential campaigns, which rumble around the country like traveling theater productions, provide a valuable and often fun reminder of the country's geographic diversity.

It would be hard to find a more vivid example of the contrast than the one between Farmville, Va., the tiny but historic town that hosted the vice presidential debate on Oct. 4, and Las Vegas, the glitzy spectacle of excess that will host Wednesday's third and final presidential faceoff.

Farmville has an understated antique mall on Main Street, a few furniture stores, charming old brick warehouses and a handful of restaurants that serve the town's two universities.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) said Donald Trump's unsubstantiated charges of voter fraud are "irresponsible" and called on Republican congressional leaders to join her in condemning them.

Peolosi told a Capitol Hill news conference that she hopes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) "will join us in saying that we have confidence in our system and that we always respect the results of the election."

Congressional Democrats have sought to tie Republicans lawmakers to the GOP nominee all year with mixed success.
