States plead for more federal help as virus outbreak worsens

excerpt:

"The needs have become more urgent as the virus rampages across virtually every state. California and Texas each have exceeded 1 million cases.

As intensive care units fill up, some Republican governors once reluctant to impose mask mandates have reversed course, and some cities and states are threatening fines against businesses that violate restrictions on social gatherings.

Biden this week called for Congress to immediately adopt a version of a $2.4 trillion stimulus bill passed by the House, but not the Senate, in May: “This is about keeping Americans afloat.”

A vaccine appears to be on the horizon after two companies announced that early trials show their versions are at least 90% effective. But the powerful freezers needed to store the doses, protective equipment for the workers and the task of getting the vaccine into every community and administering the shots are becoming logistical and financial challenges."

 

GOP reverses course and certifies Wayne County election results.


Wayne County election results certified after last-minute reversal

 

...

 

The GOP wants to selectively examine regions in MI, such as the Detroit area, for voter irregularities while ignoring others, such as rural areas.

 

It appears Michigan is on its way to certifying all of its results.


Wayne County election results certified after last-minute reversal

excerpt:

"A change to Michigan’s recount process made after the 2016 presidential election requires candidates to prove they have a reasonable chance to win in order to initiate a recount. Biden won Michigan by a wide margin — more than 146,000 votes — the state's unofficial results show. Legal experts said they expect the State Board of Canvassers will meet the deadline for certifying the results of the presidential contest, despite pending lawsuits seeking to delay the process.

If legal disputes regarding the election are resolved by Dec. 8, the certified statewide results are free from any further legal challenge and Congress must accept them as final. Michigan's 16 presidential electors are scheduled to convene Dec. 14 to cast the state's Electoral College votes."

 

Yep,Twitter says results certified 4-0 after reversal of previous decision,Trump should just concede ...

 

I think trump will stay hunkered(bunkered) down until a couple of the days before inauguration day, then resign. That way he will deprive us of the joy of seeing him forcibly removed from office.

 

"Porn Hooker" This from a woman who was seen in a compromising situation with another woman while they were both naked.

 

They tried to suppress the Black vote with all of those pre-recorded robocalls and failed, and they're still trying. ...lol...

 

Raffensperger countered the claims that Trump has made.


Georgia secretary of state, 'a Republican through and through,' defends the integrity of his state's election — and his own

Georgia secretary of state, 'a Republican through and through,' defends the integrity of his state's election — and his own

excerpt:

"Raffensperger and his office were singled out. Baseless claims included labeling Dominion, the maker of Georgia’s election system, a “radical left privately owned company” with ties to Venezuela. The company is based in Colorado.

As recently as Monday afternoon, Trump falsely claimed in a tweet that Georgia was not accurately checking signatures.

“Georgia won’t let us look at the all important signature match,” the president tweeted. “Without that the recount is MEANINGLESS. Open up unconstitutional Consent Decree.”

But Raffensperger said this is flat-out wrong.

“We strengthened the signature match,” he wrote in a scathing Facebook post Sunday. “We helped train election officials on GBI [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] signature match — which is confirmed twice before a ballot is ever cast.”

This post came two days after Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins, a staunch Trump ally, blamed the secretary of state’s office for the need for a recount."

 

'What is the matter with them?’: Biden hits back at Trump’s coronavirus adviser Scott Atlas

‘What is the matter with them?’: Biden hits back at Trump’s coronavirus adviser Scott Atlas

excerpt:

"Responding to Dr Atlas’ comments at a press conference on Monday, Mr Biden said: “The idea that the president’s now existing, remaining adviser on Covid is saying that they should resist - what the hell is the matter with these guys?

“What is the matter with them? Resist? Every major individual of any consequence in the health field is saying we can save 100,000 lives just between now and 21 January by wearing these masks.”

Mr Biden added: “We are talking about 350,000 to 400,000 people dying. I mean what are they doing? It’s totally irresponsible. Irresponsible.”"

 

Trump probably would have been better off had he not whined about mail-in voting.



Lindsey Graham on the defensive over calls to state election officials

excerpt:

"Raffensperger also noted that, ironically, Trump’s own rhetoric casting doubt on mail-in voting may have cost him victory in Georgia.

In new intv with me, @GaSecofState says 24,000 GOPs who voted absentee in primary did not vote in General - says Donald Trump cost himself the election by sowing distrust in absentee: "he would have won by 10 thousand votes he actually suppressed, depressed his own voting base"

Wayne Co. canvassers certify election results after initial deadlock

excerpt:

""The Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers put politics above their duty to our residents," Tlaib tweeted Tuesday. "Suggesting that all of Wayne County can be certified, EXCEPT for Detroit, is horrifying racist and a subversion of our democracy."

Biden won Detroit 93.5%-5% over Trump, who still received almost 6,000 more votes this year in Michigan's largest city than in 2016. Biden won the county 68%-31% over Trump with more than 863,000 votes cast."

 

Lindsey Graham said that he had also spoken to the secretary of state of AZ and NV about election irregularities in addition to GA. The statement was refuted by the secretary of state of AZ and NV. Graham later said that he spoke with the governor of AZ, not the secretary of state, and that he couldn't remember who he spoke with in NV.

If Graham wants to give the impression that he is being fair about wanting to talk with various states about election irregularities, he needs to straight out his mind and remember who he called.

Hahahaha

 

Georgia has two runoff elections in January that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate.



In Georgia, a Republican Feud With Trump at the Center

excerpts

"Raffensperger defended the integrity of the election process, and suggested that none of this would be an issue if the Republican candidates had managed to do better at the polls. He also lashed out at Representative Doug Collins, a Republican who is heading up Mr. Trump’s recount effort, labeling him a “liar.” Mr. Collins responded by calling Mr. Raffensperger incompetent."


"The feuding in Georgia has provided a messy backdrop for Mr. Trump’s broader efforts to undermine the electoral system as a whole. It has also complicated the re-election efforts of Mr. Perdue and Ms. Loeffler."

 

Mr. Perdue has refused to debate his Democratic opponent before the runoff election in January.

 

Trump under-performed relative to Republican House candidates in areas that had a high percentage of white people.

Trump's under-performance was worse in the 2020 election compared with 2016.

Trump's under-performance was worse in metropolitan areas.
