Adelson's Las Vegas Review-Journal says it is time for Trump to accept reality and let the transition get going.

There would be little surprise if a Georgia recount had Perdue at greater than 50%
Considering the hand recount is for presidential votes only, that would in fact be a huge surprise.

Australia is ranked 43rd in the world for internet. :-)
That's part of the "backward" title.
CIA base at Pine Gap in the Outback probably has its own better system. :-)

Given that Australia is on the bottom half of the globe and the logistic difficulties in having to put poles and stuff in upside down, plus WFi signals falling down into the ether of space, 43rd is pretty good. If I understand the science correctly.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Funny how Biden and his folk have been all over the COVID issue, stating how they'd do things so differently
Yet now they are complaining about not being properly informed, about not being in the loop.

Funny how they'd want the latest and best info available.

Quote
“We could save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few months. Not Democratic or Republican lives, American lives,” Biden said in a speech this week. “Please, I implore you, wear a mask.”

Incoming White House chief of staff Ron Klain said Biden will appoint a “COVID coordinator” who will lead the administration’s pandemic response. Klain, speaking on MSNBC Thursday night, said the individual will have “direct access” to the president and will brief him daily on the pandemic.

So that's already a sea-change from Trump who doesn't seem to give a shit that the virus is raging at the highest levels right now.  Wear masks, says the new Prez.  It'll save lives say he.  He'll have a CV-coordinator with a direct pipeline to the Oval Office.
Things getting better already.

I don't know Ron Klain but AOC gave him a thumbs up, so that's encouraging.
Maybe Biden should keep Jared on board to ensure a smooth transition ...

Which is why I didnt say THE recount.

Funny you mention it though -

Is it strange to you that so many Biden voters did not bother voting for a Senate candidate?

How about that so many new voters registered who were over 90?

No?

Funny.

Can't debate numbers if you don't post any.   You do know what's called "undervoting" is quite common in American presidential elections,  right?   And has never been linked to anything fraudulent.

Nothing is different.  Biden is making plans, as all incoming leaders do.  Is not being blocked at all.

They don't decorate the Oval til much later

I see Fauci

a)  hasnt been asked to
b)  isnt going to

be a part of Biden's COVID team.

Saying all the right things.  Who says Anthony isnt political?

His continuing service to the nation and this president are greatly appreciated.  He just got a bit confused at times.
