The election of President Trump, which shocked many pollsters and reputed experts, gave rise to a much-discussed species: the shy Trump voter, a citizen so cowed by critics and the media they won’t dare express their feelings out loud. latimes.com/politics/story…
Less noted are the shy Biden voters, who may quietly help the Democrat chip away at Trump’s base in small-town and rural America. latimes.com/politics/story…
Pennsylvania, which Democrats once reliably counted on, is a keystone of this presidential campaign.

It will be tough for either candidate to win this time without its 20 electoral votes. latimes.com/politics/story…

Several months ago, we invited readers to send in the names of shops, restaurants and other businesses in their communities that had closed permanently as a result of the pandemic.

Here are the stories of three small businesses that didn't survive: latimes.com/business/story…
When the virus began making headlines in the U.S., Kay Osorio knew it could have a devastating effect on her business, The Awesome Playground.

She wasn’t interested in a loan, which she believed would be impossible to repay with minimal revenue. latimes.com/business/story…
Unlike other businesses that have been able to pivot to outdoor-only or remote offerings, β€œwe couldn’t come up with another way to deliver our service,” Osorio says.

7 months later, she does not have plans to reopen the play destination. πŸ“Έ: Kay Osorio latimes.com/business/story… Image

Running a small business during the pandemic is a make-it-up-as-you-go-along trial without end. Many companies will keep their doors open because of adaptation, determination and luck. Others face closure.

Here’s how four businesses are surviving: latimes.com/business/story…
Business manager Belva Anakwenze had to become very flexible. She has taken distanced client meetings in her driveway and backyard, depending on her family's schedule.

Communication with her employees has changed as well. latimes.com/business/story…

One month later, Riverside County’s worst mass killing in recent memory remains cloaked in mystery.

The authorities have not said if they’ve turned up a motive.

The victims β€” mostly new immigrants from Laos β€” have little if any paper trail.
latimes.com/california/sto…
The murder scene in Aguanga was a large marijuana cultivation and processing site β€” a β€œmajor organized-crime type of an operation,” Sheriff Chad Bianco said.

Everyone on the property β€” living and dead β€” was Laotian.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The son of one of the victims said several of his mother’s friends worked at the grow alongside a revolving cast of recent immigrants from Laos, who, unable to speak English and struggling to find employment, would work and live on the site until they made enough cash to move on.

A 🧡:

Hi this is @fidmart85, audience engagement editor for @latimessports. I've also been working on launching a weekly newsletter for The Times. Today, I'm happy to announce that the Latinx Files goes live Nov. 12.

You can sign up for it here: latimes.com/latinxfiles
You can probably tell from the name what the focus of this newsletter will be: Us.

The Latinx community is vast and diverse. Some of us believe "we didn't cross the border, it crossed us" . For others, the memory of a home left behind is still fresh. Many fall in between.
All these different experiences deserve to be chronicled. Because you can't accurately tell the story of Los Angeles, of California and this country without including us.
