House Speaker Paul Ryan's office says the GOP leader is "fully confident" the election will be carried out "with integrity."

TULSA, Okla. (AP) —A former NFL defensive lineman whose career was ended by neck injury was killed Saturday in a car accident in Oklahoma. Dennis Byrd was 50. He broke his neck during a game in 1992 and never fully recovered.
