*Investigators are linking the capture of counterfeit watches to Union City. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers found more than 50 fake watches that came into Louisville from Hong Kong. Union City was one final destination for the items. The value of the watches with the real name brand would have come in at over six million dollars.  
 
 *A now former executive vice president for the Hawks is accused of defrauding the organization. Reportedly the team found Lester Jones embezzled three-point-eight million dollars while working as VP of financial planning and analysis.  

*Young voter organizations in Georgia say their hard work is paying off as more young people and people of color are heading to the polls. A coordinator with Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, Kahla Doby, says her organization spent all year educating voters on important races like the Public Service Commission that sets your power bill rates. Coalition members say this election is the perfect opportunity for voters to take their power back and make their voices heard.
