You can't make this stuff up.

If they pull the same stunt, the courts will likely force them to certify. 4. The republican-led MI house and Senate had already said they will declare Biden the winner.

Undoubtedly you will have to pull all this info from multiple articles and do some of your own digging. Some outlets will go for maximum liberal outrage and some will go for giving Trump supporters false hope.

Didn't last long. Wayne county voted 4-0 to certify; called on the Michigan SOS to figure out why the books don't match up. Reasonable.

Who cares if Trump throws a few overboard off a sinking ship? It will mean nothing when all is said and done. I wouldn't be surprised if those jettisoned actually requested it.

Biden will be here soon enough to save all of us. /s

Yes I see that right now ... Walton county.

280 votes; 225 of them for Trump.

Can you imagine if Georgia was as close as it was on November 7th (What a stupid sentence to say out loud). The state could have flipped now that Trump has found 1,600 votes. Just crazy.

Unfortunately, no it is not. Starting Friday, if someone is to enter your house that is not direct family, both the entering party and the homeowner and family are required to wear a mask.

Side note -- our district high school shut down on Friday afternoon. Our district middle school shut down yesterday. Both will resume in person classes on the 30th. All elementary schools remain open.

Good thing they have a lot of time to tighten up the ship before the midterms, not like they have any high profile elections coming up, such as runoffs to determine control of the US Senate, or anything

How the hell does that get enforced?

Task force armed with those long range binoculars that they use on stakeouts?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Do I need to wear a mask when around my family members or at a friend's house?

Yes. A face covering is required when indoors and around persons who are not part of the same household. For example, if you are a part of a family of four who is hosting a dinner with extended family, friends or neighbors, all attendees must wear face coverings. If having dinner with just the persons who reside in the same home as you, you do not need to wear face coverings. If outdoors and able to maintain sustained physical distance, face coverings are recommended, but not required."

Help me out on this -- are all of these "found" votes only for Trump? Or are there down ballot votes as well?

How many votes need to be "found" to get Purdue to 50% and take him out of the runoff? I kind of always thought that would be a better reason for the Republicans to fight hard for a recount?

If that were to happen, than all the people who want to move to Georgia for a week just to vote could save their moving expenses, right?

Nothing. They just asked nicely.

"The Wayne County Board of Canvassers has just unanimously voted to certify the results of the election & called on Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson to conduct an audit of the unexplained precincts in Wayne County that did not match."

Just a reversal of their previous position in record time. Made for a good one hour news cycle!

Gonna be tough will all the police being defunded....

Wolf/Levine/Fetterman are just absolute train wrecks as politicians.

If 25 people are allowed at a funeral - I will invite 24 of you to mourn with me the passing of my pet turkey. The service will be Thanksgiving Day and refreshments will be served.

One would have to assume that the Trump votes would transfer down ballot. I think Purdue needs 14k votes. Pretty unlikely.

Goes from a required 6 feet to 5.

Not enough. You are correct that they're also finding Purdue votes, but he's 16,000 short of the 50% threshold. More votes needed for him than Trump to flip the state.

Runoff is happening. Purdue and Loeffler will win (Warnock seems to be quite an awful candidate as it turns out).

Hopefully Jocelyn can get to the bottom of the 200-300 count discrepancy.

Appreciate the numerical breakdown. Wasn't sure what the scenario looked like.

Not the point is it. If there are 200 that they found how many more may not have been found?

We need a real trustworthy election process regardless of the outcome of this election. And if anyone disagrees with that then they are sketchy themselves.
