"After several negative tests, I learned I was positive this morning," he said in a statement. "I am feeling good and experiencing very mild symptoms. I will be working from home in Naples until it is safe for me to return to Washington, D.C."

US Supreme Court overturns stay of execution in Texas.

T**** seems to have dusted off his party's 1876 playbook on how to steal an election.

Trying to follow this...it was H**** who sold off black enfranchisement (via fed troop withdrawal) in order to get the key electoral votes from T****, right?

Well, yes, but the essential point is the R********* party used their Reconstruction era control over the states to make up and send in different vote totals than the process had resulted in.

Thanks.  I got there, but had to wander through some encyclopedia entries.  Unfortunately, T**** doesn't have any chips like "we'll end Reconstruction for you" and Florida already got its poll tax reinstalled.

Massachusetts is it for Biden.

Looks like NY passed IL for the third spot between when I posted and now, by about 24k votes. MD had a slightly higher percentage than MA for Biden. Nobody touched DC on either side. Can't imagine why the GOP doesn't want them to be a state! "No taxation without representation, except for you folks!"

The GOP winner is Tennessee! Trump's got a 710,000+ bulge there. Texas is at 630k and a bit, and now second. Alabama's at 590k. KY's at 554k. OK's at 516k.

Dang, I wasn't even close.  Ohio margin was something like 470K. 

I would have guessed either Mass or NY for Biden, but Mass makes more sense given those red counties in NY outside of the island.

This is hypothetical, but if you look at the number of ex-felons in Florida, 1.4 million, and take the remaining fraction with unpaid court fees (which barred them from voting), which was something like 700,000, and if 60% of them were motivated to vote a Dem ticket....that would have given Biden the state.  He needed around 370,000 more votes.

Dominion Voting Systems committed to attending an oversight hearing in Pennsylvania but backed out at the last moment, lawmakers in the Keystone State said Friday.

The members of the state government committee were looking forward to publicly addressing the plethora of accusations of Dominion Voting Systems in a format which would have allowed open and honest dialogue. I was impressed at what appeared to be the willingness of Dominion Voting Systems to address accusations, and it would have put the 1.3 million Pennsylvanians who used their machines at ease, including myself,” state Rep. Seth Grove, a Republican who chairs of the Government Oversight Committee, said during a press conference.

“Unfortunately, last evening, Dominion Voting Systems lawyered up and backed out of their commitment

Fourteen counties in Pennsylvania use Dominion’s voting systems. Approximately 1.3 million people, or 19 percent of voters, voted in those counties.

Can't help yourself from spreading unsubstantiated, evidenceless rumors.

Giuliani lobbed more wild accusations.
'What we are seeing is massive influence of Communist money from Venezuela, Cuba and likely China,' he said.
'We use largely a Venezuelan voting machine to count our vote,' Giuliani claimed.

POWELL: “The Dominion Voting Systems, the Smartmatic technology software, and the software that goes in other computerized voting systems here as well, not just Dominion, were created in Venezuela at the direction of Hugo Chavez to make sure he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out.”

THE FACTS: No, Dominion does not have any ties to Venezuela, nor does it have a partnership with Smartmatic, according to Eddie Perez, a voting technology expert at the OSET Institute, a nonpartisan election technology research and development nonprofit.

Smartmatic is an international company incorporated in Florida by Venezuelan founders.

That's from the AP.

Thanks, Bo.

I'd read it, but hadn't gotten back to chasing down when/where.
