DOJ Eyes Minnesota's 'Vouching' System For Voter Registration, Demands Records The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) civil rights division demanded voter registration records from Minnesota on Jan. 2, saying the state’s law that allows people to “vouch” for others’ residency for voter registration appeared inconsistent with federal voting laws. According to Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, the DOJ is “particularly concerned” with votes and registrations accepted by “vouching” from other registered voters or residential facility employees, along with other same-day registration procedures. Minnesota allows a registered voter to vouch for up to eight other individuals on Election Day. Employees of senior care homes or other group facilities can vouch for an unlimited number of residents in their facilities. As Jill McLaughlin reports below for The Epoch Times, Dhillon sent a letter to Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon demanding that he turn over all records documenting same-day voter registrations, records for votes cast by voters registered under same-day voter registrations, and other records related to the registrations and votes. The request is for records going back 22 months, including the March 5, 2024, primary election and Nov. 5, 2024, general election. The demand was made under the Civil Rights Act of 1960 and is to “ensure Minnesota’s registration and voting practices are in compliance with federal law, particularly the minimum requirement under [the Help America Vote Act],” according to the letter. Minnesota’s “system seems facially inconsistent with the Help America Vote Act of 2002. We’ll see!” Dhillon posted on X on Friday. The Help America Vote Act was passed by Congress in 2002 to reform the voting process by improving voting systems and voter access, following the 2000 election, when Florida’s recount exposed significant flaws in outdated punch-card voting machines that resulted in “hanging” and “dimpled” chads. Minnesota passed same-da...

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel , in trading on Friday, shares of Sysco Corp (Symbol: SYY) were yielding above the 3% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $2.16), with the stock changing hands as low as $71.85 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) back on 12/31/1999 — you would have paid $146.88 per share. Fast forward to 12/31/2012 and each share was worth $142.41 on that date, a decrease of $4.67/share over all those years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $25.98 per share in dividends over the same period, for a positive total return of 23.36%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.6%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 3% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Sysco Corp (Symbol: SYY) is an S&P 500 company, giving it special status as one of the large-cap companies making up the S&P 500 Index. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Sysco Corp, looking at the history chart for SYY below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 3% annual yield. SYY has been growing its dividend for more than 20 years consecutively. For more dividend growth stocks view our Dividend Aristocrats List on Dividend Channel.

But now consider that you collected a whopping $10.77 per share in dividends over the same period, increasing your return to 13.15%.

A state law creating the first registry of people convicted of domestic abuse in the US took effect Thursday in Tennessee. Named after Savanna Puckett, a woman who was shot to death by her ex-boyfriend in January 2022, “Savanna’s law” requires the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to maintain a database of people who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to at least two domestic violence offenses. The database will include the offender’s name, date of birth, and a photo and location of their convictions. It will not include their address. The database can include information about offenders for up to 20 years after their last conviction, although it is not retroactive. People will only be eligible for the database if they plead guilty to or are convicted of offenses after 1 January. In January 2022, after Puckett failed to appear for work as a sheriff’s deputy in Robertson county, in northern Tennessee, a co-worker went to her home and found it in flames. Firefighters later discovered Puckett’s body, which had been shot multiple times. James Jackson Conn, Puckett’s ex-boyfriend, pleaded guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. He is now serving a life sentence. By the time of Puckett’s death, Conn had amassed an extensive record of domestic violence allegations, according to the Tennesseean. In 2019, Conn shoved his then girlfriend down the stairs, dragged her across a yard and hit her in the head, according to a police report. That same year, Conn pushed a woman to the ground when she tried to exit his car. After police ordered Conn not to contact the woman, he called her multiple times and, in December 2019, forced his way into her home. Conn pleaded guilty to multiple domestic violence and trespassing charges, the Tennesseean reported. “I was just horrified when I finally saw all those records, because I know Savanna well enough that she would have never dated him,” Puckett’s mother, Kim Dodson, told a local news outlet in Tennessee. “I honestly, honestly, h...

Micron (MU) stock is pushing meaningfully higher on Jan. 2 after a senior Bernstein analyst, Stacy Rasgon, issued a constructive note in it favor. Today’s rally drove MU’s near-term relative strength index (9-day) into the mid-70s, which is often interpreted as the overbought territory. Including today’s gains, Micron shares are trading at nearly 5x their price in April 2025. Why Does Bernstein Remain Bullish on Micron Stock? Stacy Rasgon expects MU stock to push higher mostly because he sees “the largest pricing upcycle in the memory sector” ahead. According to him, the artificial intelligence (AI)-driven demand for DRAM will materially exceed supply, driving prices to record levels in 2026. On Friday, the Bernstein analyst maintained his “Outperform” rating on the semiconductor firm and raised his price target to $330, indicating potential upside of another 16% on its previous close. A 0.15% dividend yield and billions in authorized share repurchases make Micron Technology all the more attractive as a long-term holding. Note that MU came in handily above Street estimates in its latest reported quarter on Dec. 17. MU Shares Are Super Cheap for an AI Name Bernstein expects DRAM prices to climb as much as 25% in the first quarter of 2026. Last month, Micron’s revenue guidance for its fiscal Q2 ending Feb. 26 topped consensus estimate by a staggering $4.5 billion, reinforcing Rasgon’s view on the expected price hikes. Most importantly, despite its meteoric rally, Micron stock is currently trading at a forward earnings multiple of less than 10x only, which is super cheap for a company riding the AI tailwinds. Plus, MU currently sits decisively above its major moving averages ( 50-day, 100-day, 200-day ), suggesting bulls remain fully in control across multiple timeframes. How Wall Street Recommends Playing Micron An exciting combination of robust fundamentals and uniquely attractive valuation is keeping Wall Street analysts positive on Micron shares for the next 12 mon...

Key Points Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor are benefiting from the AI infrastructure boom. Meta and Pinterest are social media stocks that are seeing their revenue driven by AI. Salesforce has a big AI agent opportunity, helped by its acquisition of Informatica. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Technology stocks have been leading the market higher the past few years, but that doesn't mean there still aren't good values out there. Let's look at five cheap tech stocks to buy right now. Nvidia While Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock isn't often associated with being cheap, it trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of just 25 times next year's analyst estimates. For a company that just grew its revenue by 62% last quarter and continues to see insatiable demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs), that's a bargain. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Spending on artificial intelligence (AI) just continues to climb, and Nvidia remains in the best position to capture it. It has about a 90% market share in the GPU market, and its CUDA software platform, which is where most foundational AI code has been written, gives it a wide moat. And the company has shown it is ready to go on the offensive following a few recent acquisitions and partnerships. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing With a forward P/E of less than 24, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(NYSE: TSM) is another top tech bargain. The company saw its revenue soar 41% last quarter, and it is projecting that demand for AI chips will continue to grow at a more than 40% compound annual rate over the next few years. As the only company that can manufacture advanced chips at scale with few defects, TSMC is in a prime position to benefit from the strong continued demand for GPUs and other AI chips. The company is working closely with chip designers on their semiconductor ro...

Supermicro (SMCI) shares rallied today after the Nasdaq-listed firm unveiled a new high-density, liquid-cooled blade server designed for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance compute workloads. Dubbed the SBI-622BA-1NE12-LCC, this latest addition to the company’s SuperBlade family “is powered by dual Intel Xeon 6900 series processors,” according to its press release on Friday. Despite today’s gains, SMCI stock remains down more than 50% versus its October high. Significance of the AI Server Launch for SMCI Stock Supermicro’s new server delivers rack-level performance in a compact footprint, reducing cabling by a remarkable 93% and supporting up to 3TB of memory. Investors cheered the announcement mostly because it positions SMCI as a key player in next-gen AI infrastructure, especially as demand for scalable, energy-efficient solutions continues to ramp in 2026. According to Charles Liang , the chief executive of Super Micro Computer, “this new iteration is the most core-dense SuperBlade we’ve ever created, providing customers with a scalable, efficient platform.” With applications spanning finance, climate modeling, and scientific research, this new AI server strengthens the company’s competitive edge, which is why SMCI shares are pushing higher on Jan 2. Are Supermicro Shares Worth Owning in 2026? At a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of about 0.8x currently, SMCI stock appears priced for permanent impairment, despite clear signs of operational momentum. Moreover, the AI server specialist has entered 2026 with a $13 billion backlog, offering sufficient visibility into future demand, particularly across artificial intelligence and HPC verticals. If the firm delivers on its roadmap and capitalizes on hyperscale infrastructure growth, its current valuation could prove deeply discounted. Note that Supermicro shares now look headed to challenge their 20-day moving average (MA) at $31.86 level, a break above which could further accelerate upward momentum in the...
