(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou is solely focused on the task at hand and not getting distracted by the Premier League table at this stage of the season, he said after his side came back from behind to crush Aston Villa 4-1 on Sunday.

Voting rights groups have warned that intentionally spreading rumours and falsehoods can result in Americans deciding not to cast a ballot or trust the integrity of the election. Doubts being spread by Trump and his allies – including Musk, the world’s richest man – open the door for the former president to contest the outcome just as he did after his loss in 2020.
"Some of these conspiracies don’t make any damn sense, but they’re still propagating and influencing people’s faith in the electoral process,” said William Pelfrey Jr., a professor focused on domestic terrorism at Virginia Commonwealth University. Rumours about non-citizens illegally voting also have been a theme of online conspiracies, according to anti-misinformation specialists. A network of phony X accounts has masqueraded in recent weeks as foreign nationals openly stating that they planned to vote in the election, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a nonprofit that advocates for policies to fight extremism.
