El Paso County Elections Department honored for website — once again
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — For the sixth straight year, the El Paso County Elections Department is being honored for its website by the League of Women Voters of Texas.
Once again, the County Elections Department has received an 'Outstanding' rating in its 2024 website review done by the League of Women Voters, which is a nonpartisan group that advocates for voter participation and voter information.
Out of all 254 Texas counties, only 61 counties received this ranking, according to the El Paso County Elections Department.
'The League evaluates election website based on quality, accuracy, and accessibility of information available to voters. This recognition underscores the department's dedication to providing transparent, accurate, and accessible election information to El Paso County voters,' read a news release.
'We are excited that our continued efforts have contributed to this year's recognition and that we've maintained 'Outstanding' ranking year after year. The added features on our revamped website reflect our commitment to making the election process easier and more accessible to voters,' said Lisa Wise, El Paso County elections administrator.
The department announced the launch of its newly revamped elections website in August 2024.
The updated website offers El Paso voters a 'more user-friendly experience, with improved functionality and a range of interactive tools,' the County Elections Department said.
The County Elections Department said its revamped website includes the following tools with their descriptions of each:
• My Voter Dashboard: A personalized tool where users can find their voter registration status, view their voting history, see a personalized sample ballot, and check eligibility for upcoming elections.
Improved Accessibility for our Disabled Community: The new accessibility widget allows users to adjust font size, contrast colors, and other features to meet individual needs.
• Interactive Voting Place Locator: A new search tool helps voters find the nearest Early Voting Location and/or Election Day Vote Center by providing their zip code. Results will be narrowed within the interactive Google Maps.
The department said it partnered with El Paso-based company Hello Amigo nine years ago to ensure that the website remains current, secure, and easy to navigate, providing accurate information and resources for all voters.

Nova Scotia's offshore wind transmission line could cost $10 billion: premier
HALIFAX - It could cost between $5 billion and $10 billion to build a transmission line that would connect Nova Scotia's proposed offshore wind farms with the rest of the country, Premier Tim Houston says. The rough estimate follows his announcement last week that Nova Scotia wants to license enough offshore turbines over the next 10 years to produce 40 gigawatts of electricity — eight times more than what was originally planned. 'It's a concept,' Houston said after a cabinet meeting Thursday, referring to the Wind West project. 'It's a very powerful concept .... My objective, initially, was to capture the imagination of Nova Scotians.' For context on the size of Houston's ambitions, Nova Scotia, with just over one million people, requires 2.4 GW at peak demand. The Brussels-based Global Wind Energy Council issued a 2025 report saying China's offshore wind turbines were producing just under 42 GW as of last year. The council says the global offshore wind energy industry added 11 GW in 2023 and 8 GW in 2024. Houston went on to say the project would require 'hundreds' of wind turbines to be built in water about 100 metres deep, about 25 kilometres offshore. A renewable energy expert, however, said it will take far more turbines to generate 40 GW of reliable electricity, assuming that a peak capacity of 66 GW would be required. Sven Scholtysik, a research director at Net Zero Atlantic, said that based on the current industry standard of using 15 megawatt turbines, Wind West would require construction of more than 4,000 offshore turbines. Despite that big number, Scholtysik said there would be ample room for them amid the 19,500 square kilometres within the five 'wind energy areas' selected in January by an independent committee appointed by the federal and Nova Scotia governments. When asked how long it would take to build such an ambitious project, Scholtysik said it would be difficult to come up with an accurate timeline. 'When we look at how long it takes to build an offshore wind park, that 10-year number is about right,' said Scholtysik, who's research focuses on electricity, clean fuels and modelling. 'But that ambition to install 66 GW is likely going to require multiple projects, not one single project.' Tina Northrup, a lawyer with the East Coast Environmental Law Association, said Houston's 10-year time frame does not seem feasible, given the need for consultations and environmental studies. 'It would be unrealistic to have that much offshore wind infrastructure out into the water in a short period of time,' she said. 'We understand this to be a vision that might be realized decades into the future. It wouldn't be an all-at-once kind of thing.' As for Houston, he has said he floated the idea on June 2 to get the attention of Prime Minister Mark Carney, who has asked provincial and territorial leaders to submit bids for infrastructure projects to help Canada withstand the trade turmoil caused by U.S. President Donald Trump. 'I think Nova Scotians are pretty inspired by what's possible,' Houston said. 'This would change Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada and provide green, renewable energy that the world is looking for.' The Progressive Conservative premier has said he wants Ottawa to help cover the costs of Wind West, saying the excess electricity could supply 27 per cent of Canada's total demand. If his plan is successful, Nova Scotia would become an 'energy superpower' that no longer requires federal equalization payments, he said. 'We could get off of that transfer system over the next 20 years if we pursued the opportunities that are available to us.' Houston went on to say Nova Scotia's offshore is blessed with strong, remarkably steady winds. Scholtysik, whose research group gets most of its funding from provincial and federal governments, confirmed that the wind energy industry is well aware that Nova Scotia's offshore winds are among the strongest and most consistent in the world. A study from the wind energy research firm Aegir Insights, based in Denmark, found that Nova Scotia's offshore has a 'world-class wind resource,' with almost all areas recording consistent wind speeds between 9 and 11 metres per second. 'The consistent availability of good wind resources across the entire offshore territory means that wind speed will likely not be a restricting factor when it comes to siting offshore wind farms,' the 2020 study says.

US Ally Secures Military Access to Contested South China Sea
Japan's ratification of an agreement allowing reciprocal military visits with the Philippines puts the U.S. allies on a course for greater security cooperation amid regional tensions with China. Newsweek reached out to the Japanese and Chinese Foreign Ministries via email for comment. China's rapid military buildup and overlapping territorial claims have driven Beijing's neighbors to deepen security ties with Washington, as well as with each other, through "mini-laterals" arrangements such as the "Squad" (comprising the U.S., Australia, Japan, and the Philippines), and bilateral frameworks. Japan's National Diet voted Friday to approve a reciprocal access agreement with the Philippines. Manila's legislature ratified the deal six months earlier. The arrangement is expected to enhance interoperability, facilitate military drills, and support joint operations, including disaster relief, according to the agreement. Philippine military chief General Romeo Brawner, chief of staff of the Philippine armed forces, in a statement, hailed the pact as a "significant step in advancing bilateral defense cooperation and regional stability." The Philippines is the third country to sign this kind of agreement with Japan, following Australia and the United Kingdom. Japan previously selected the Philippines as the first beneficiary of its Official Security Assistance program for like-minded partners. China has frequently criticized defense cooperation between the Philippines and "outside forces," maintaining that the South China Sea dispute is a bilateral issue. The Philippines is embroiled in a long-standing territorial dispute with China, which has expanded its maritime presence within the maritime zone of its U.S. defense treaty ally. China claims sovereignty over most of the South China Sea-through which an estimated $3 trillion in trade passes annually-despite a Hague-based arbitral tribunal's 2016 decision that dismissed these claims. A separate dispute also simmers over a group of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, known in Japan as the Senkakus and in China as the Diaoyu Islands. Both Japanese and Philippine officials-like their American counterparts-have voiced concern over China's growing military activity around Taiwan, the self-ruled democracy that Beijing has vowed to unify with, by force if necessary. Chen Xiangmiao, director of the World Navy Research Center at China's National Institute for South China Sea Studies, said in February: "Japan seeks to bypass the constraints of its postwar pacifist constitution through defense cooperation with the Philippines." The Japan-Philippines Armed Forces Facilitation Agreement says: "As the security environment in the region becomes increasingly severe, the signing of an important agreement in the field of security with the Philippines, a strategic partner located at a strategic location on sea lanes and sharing fundamental values and principles with Japan, will further promote security and defense cooperation between the two countries and firmly support peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region." Earlier this year, the two countries announced plans for regular meetings to address Philippine defense equipment needs, as well as early efforts to establish an intelligence-sharing framework.

5 key questions on Israel's strikes, Iran's response, and the risk of a wider war
Israel targeted nuclear and military sites in Iran in airstrikes early Friday morning. The strikes are a major escalation that threatens to expand into a wider regional conflict. These are five key questions in the wake of Israel's air war. Israel's widespread airstrikes on Iran effectively damaged the country's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, which officials said was a primary goal. The strikes hit over 100 targets, including Iran's air defense systems, missile launchers, and senior military leadership. Now, all eyes are on Tehran's response and the specter of a wider conflict. And there are questions over whether the US will get pulled into the fight. Here are some main questions stemming from the attacks. How has Iran responded? Iran initially responded to the attack by firing 100 drones at Israel on Friday, which the Israel Defense Forces said were mostly intercepted. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel "should anticipate a severe punishment" in response to the strikes, and that Iran "won't let them go unpunished." Hours later, the IDF said Iran had launched "dozens" of missiles at Israel in what appeared to be several waves. The military said its air defenses were actively intercepting threats, and video footage captured several impacts. "The Iranian response might be delayed or split into multiple phases," said Matthew Savill, the director of military sciences at the UK-based Royal United Services Institute think tank. "But their main weapon will be ballistic missiles," he added, "which have the best chance of inflicting damage on Israel, whereas drone and cruise missile attacks will face more extensive Israeli defences." It is not unprecedented for Iran to launch powerful weapons at Israel; Tehran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at its foe in April and October last year. However, those strikes were mostly intercepted by Israel and its allies, including the US. Beyond direct strikes, another way that Iran could retaliate is through the so-called "Axis of Resistance," a vast network of militias it is aligned with throughout the region, including Lebanon's Hezbollah and Yemen's Houthis. Israel has been battling these forces, and Hamas in Gaza, since the October 7, 2023, attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long advocated for destroying Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran claims is for civilian purposes. The US, however, has been trying to reach a new deal with Iran (and has threatened violence if a deal isn't done). The strikes could derail those efforts and even goad Iran into racing to build a nuclear arsenal. Could this trigger a wider conflict? Israel's strikes threaten to spark a wider regional conflict, analysts at London's Chatham House think tank warned Friday. "Far from being a preventive action, this strike risks triggering a broader regional escalation and may inadvertently bolster the Islamic Republic's domestic and international legitimacy," Sanam Vakil, Chatham House's Middle East and North Africa program director, said. Last year, Tehran reportedly threatened to target Gulf state oil facilities if they allowed Israel access to their airspace for strikes against Iran. It's unclear what routes Israeli aircraft used in the attacks, but there's been speculation Israel could exploit the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria to get its aircraft directly over Iraq for strikes. Russia is also a close ally of Iran, and the two have increased their defense cooperation since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. However, Nikita Smagin, an analyst at the Carnegie Endowment, said in December that the Kremlin is unlikely to come to Iran's direct aid in order to avoid direct confrontations with Israel and the US. Will the US be pulled into a fight? The US has helped arm and defend Israel, notably in the wake of Hamas' October 7 attacks. The world will be watching to see how President Donald Trump responds. Trump has sought to broker a new nuclear deal with Iran, and in the wake of the Israeli attacks overnight, warned of "even more brutal" strikes from Israel if Iran refuses a new agreement. Last year, the US Navy helped shoot down Iranian missiles fired at Israel in two major attacks, and it has rotated multiple aircraft carriers and many warships into the region since 2023, in a show of support for Israel and to deter its enemies, including Iran. The US and other NATO countries have also defended international shipping routes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden from attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. What forces does the US have in the region? The US has a substantial military presence in the Middle East, including naval forces, ground troops, and strike aircraft. A Navy spokesperson told BI that the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group — consisting of an aircraft carrier, a cruiser, and three destroyers — is in the Arabian Sea. There are also three American destroyers in the Red Sea and another in the Eastern Mediterranean. All of these warships, and the carrier's dozens of embarked aircraft, are capable of carrying out air defense missions to defeat incoming drones and missiles. Were the strikes effective? IDF spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said Israel's strikes "significantly harmed" Iran's main uranium enrichment site at Natanz. "For many years, the people of the Iranian regime made an effort to obtain nuclear arms in this facility," he said, adding that the site "has the necessary infrastructure to enrich uranium to a military grade." The International Atomic Energy Agency has confirmed the site was struck, but the extent of the damage remains unverified. Satellite imagery appeared to show significant damage at the surface level. There was also a report Friday that Israel had struck Fordow, a nuclear fuel enrichment site guarded deep under a mountain. Overnight, Israeli strikes reportedly targeted strategic Iranian sites, including the Natanz nuclear facility, Iran's primary center for uranium enrichment. High-resolution imagery from @AirbusDefence, captured on June 13, 2025, reveals significant damage to the facility. — Open Source Centre (@osc_london) June 13, 2025 The IDF said that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Hossein Salami and other senior military commanders were also killed in targeted strikes.
