But also find a way to fund the government by december 11th to keep it from shutting down. Today confirmed bidens victory in georgia after completing a statewide audit. The final results showing he beat President Trump by 12 1284 votes and during the weeklong recount officials in 4 counties found new batches of votes. Were not counted on election day. The president has called the discovery is proof of wrongdoing even though nearly 1400 of those votes were in his favor. Georgias republican secretary of state has faced heavy scrutiny from fellow republicans accusing him of failing to deliver honest and transparent elections. And it announcement from georgia today only further cements president elect bidens victory as he moves forward with his transition into the white house as best he can without cooperation from the current commander in chief and his others today he met with state governors to form a plan for trying to track the pandemic and President Trump fund his legal team are doing everything they can to try to reverse the outcome of the election Dean Reynolds says the latest. The president s lawyer Rudy Giuliani told reporters there is abundant evidence of vote fraud in states he lost like michigan. An affidavit we have in the michigan case. 220 affidavits those of people give affidavit. Reported incident. That under any other circumstances would on the front page of all your newspapers. It didnt involve the hatred that you have irrational pathological haitians. You have. For the president on pennsylvanias same viewpoint, pennsylvania and pennsylvania. The margin of victory now for biden which is a not a victory. Its a fraud while the Trump Legal Team has suffered a number of setbacks their efforts may at least be spreading doubts. A Reuters Ipsos poll this week found half of republicans believe the election was rigged. But alleging fraud is different from proving it. There has been no evidence of widespread Election Fraud in any state. According to officials at both the state and federal levels. So the president s move today to invite republican lawmakers from michigan to the white house suggested he might be pursuing a parallel strategy. One which in theory would involve republican controlled legislatures, ignoring mister bidens victory in their states picking their own pro trump delegations for the Electoral College and having them award their electoral votes to the president. If that is the strategy the president would have to be very persuasive because both michigan lawmakers tomorrow House Speaker Lee Chatfield and Senate Majority leader mike shirkey have already indicated the state legislature will not appoint its own slate of electors mister biden is ahead in michigan by more than a 150,000 votes. Today in wilmington, the president elect reacted to the white house news with the president doing now is the another. And where he will go down in history.

These numbers not bad but we could see a lot warmer too is weve got High Pressure trying to sneak in here, but its not a very big ridge kind of flat and you can see some of the high clouds begin to drift over that weak ridge were going to see more of that for tomorrow and that means well going make for some interesting skies outside make sure you take a look at the cannes.
