WREXHAM, Wales (AP) — Ryan Reynolds punched the air before turning to embrace Rob McElhenney as the Hollywood stars moved a big step closer to their dream of leading Welsh soccer team Wrexham to promotion. The pair celebrated at the end of a game that had all the thrills of a big screen blockbuster and the ultimate twist as former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster pulled off a penalty save in the seventh minute of stoppage time to secure a 3-2 win against closest rival Notts County on Monday.“I don’t think I have a heart anymore,” Reynolds said afterward. “I think I used all the beats I had left during that match. That was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”Wrexham, which has been given A-list sparkle after being bought by the two actors, moved three points clear at the top of the fifth-tier National League with a game in hand. Elliot Lee’s 78th-minute strike was the decisive goal after both teams had led during the match. But it was Foster’s save to deny Cedwy...

BUCKINGHAM, Virginia — La presentación de quejas sin fundamento en contra de miembros de la Junta Electoral de Buckingham en Virginia ocasionó la renuncia de todo el personal, según denunciaron a NBC News. Lindsey Taylor, quien trabajó como registradora desde 2019, expresó que luego de que el Partido Republicano asumiera el control de la Junta Electoral que supervisa su oficina, los republicanos locales comenzaron a presentar afirmaciones de fraude electoral lo que la llevó a concluir que el equipo la quería fuera. “Había personas que decían que habían escuchado todos estos rumores, que el fiscal general me iba a acusar”, afirmó Taylor, días después de dejar la oficina por última vez. “Mentalmente, simplemente, no podía soportarlo más”.Eventualmente, Taylor dimitió de su cargo y, junto a ella, dos empleados de medio tiempo. Sus renuncias siguieron a un secretario adjunto que se fue en febrero, citando el mismo conflicto.En Virginia, todos los registradores generales del estado cump...
