Georgia senate race between Loeffler and Warnock will be decided in January runoff

Image
At least one of the Georgia Senate races won’t be decided until 2021—but at least we now know who the contenders for the seat will be. Atlanta Dream co-owner Kelly Loeffler and Ebenezer Baptist Church pastor Rev. Raphael Warnock will have to win in a runoff that takes place on Jan. 5. As neither candidate received more than 50% of the vote, by Georgia law, a runoff must be held to decide the victor. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/3oZbSTx via Latest News

Trump can't just ask the Supreme Court to stop ballot counting, GOP election lawyer tells CNN

Image
President Trump early Wednesday said he thinks he won the presidential race, prematurely claimed victory in states that still have millions of votes uncounted, and said he will ask the Supreme Court to halt the vote count -- or stop the "voting," as he said. Officials in Pennsylvania and other states that won't finish counting votes for hours or days vowed that every ballot will be counted. And legal experts said Trump can't really just petition the Supreme Court to halt the counting of legally cast votes.Ben Ginsberg, who spent decades as a top Republican Party election lawyer, told CNN's Jake Tapper early Wednesday that even if Trump did have a mechanism to petition an end to the vote counting or toss out votes, that request would "be viewed by any court, including the Supreme Court, as just a massive disenfranchisement that would be frowned upon."> "These are all legally cast votes and the process of trying to toss them out for some reason wou

Mexico tried, failed to get warrant for ex-cabinet secretary

Image
Mexico’s president confirmed Tuesday that federal prosecutors had tried to get an arrest warrant for former Treasury and Foreign Relations Secretary Luis Videgaray, but said a judge rejected the request. Videgaray, currently a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management, is considered the political figure closest to former President Enrique Peña Nieto, in whose 2012-2018 administration he served. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Tuesday he did not know what the charges were because he maintains an arms-length relationship with the independent attorney general's office, though he said he had read they included a charge of treason. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2TQl12I via Latest News

Bail for Illinois teen charged in Kenosha killings set at $2 million

Image
It was the first court appearance in Wisconsin for Kyle Rittenhouse since he was ordered extradited from Illinois on Friday. Presiding over the hearing, Kenosha County Commissioner Loren Keating said that a "very significant cash bond is necessary to assure this defendant's appearance in court, as the court does believe that he is a flight risk." Rittenhouse's attorney, Mark Richards, argued for lower bail, saying that his client's unsuccessful attempt to turn himself in to Kenosha police during the street disturbances where the killings took place, suggest he would not flee. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/3kSd5tw via Latest News

Pelosi Says House is Prepared to Decide Presidential Election If Results are Disputed

Image
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that Congress is prepared to play a “prominent role” in deciding the presidential election in the event that results are disputed. “We understand what the law is and the preeminence of the role of Congress and specifically the House of Representatives when it comes to counting the votes,” Pelosi said in an interview with NPR. If the presidential election does not determine a clear winner by electoral vote, then it falls to the House to choose the next president.“We’re ready. We’re prepared. We’ve been ready for a while because we see this irresponsibility of the president, his disrespect for the Constitution, for our democracy and for the integrity of our elections. So we’re ready for him,” Pelosi said.According to Axios, the president has told confidants he plans to declare victory if he appears to be “ahead.” However, Trump has denied that he would prematurely claim victory.Should the election end in a tie in the Electoral College, an unlikely b
