Trump has two business days to request one, per the AJC. I fully expect him to do so, since it prolongs his stupid charade and costs him no money. We’ll see.

Have not read, just the highlighted sentence:

Republicans shouldn’t take the Jan. 5 runoffs, or their majority in the Senate, for granted.

It was, indeed, a pleasure to share such wonderful news with the board. Today was one of the best days since the networks called the race with the coup attempt failing all over the place. Have a lovely evening out there in Hawaii!

Couldn't just announce the certification - has to also promote the Clown's phony legal efforts.

He is undermining Democracy too.


Wake up Georgians!

It’ll be a meaningless exercise, but so has the rest of their post-election posturing.

It's very confusing, trying to keep all these damn states straight!

Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the hand audit last week, citing the close margin of the race.

The four counties with new vote totals must recertify their results. Statewide election results must be certified by Friday. The Trump campaign then has until Tuesday to request an additional recount, which would be by machine rather than by hand.
