Power outage hits Washington, D.C., hours before US midterms

Original: One after another... This time, a major power outage hits Washington, D.C., just hours before the US midterms.. Also tod

A major power outage struck Washington, D.C. just hours before the US midterm elections, fueling online speculation about a possible connection between the blackout and the vote. It came alongside reports of dozens of supermarkets in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg hit by a suspected cyberattack, and a reported complete blackout on Spain's La Palma.

Why now: The timing of the outage right before the midterms, together with simultaneous blackouts and cyberattacks in Europe, is driving suspicion and discussion.
