Greatest mobilization. In u. S. History, pioneering developing and manufacturing therapies and vaccines. In record time, there was no talk of the election result. This was an update on the fight against corona virus, the hope provided by a vaccine. But there was almost the slip almost an acknowledgment. His time in the white house was coming to a close. Ideally, we wont go to a lockdown. I will not go, this administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully the, the, whatever happens in the future, who knows which of ministration will be, i guess time will tell. But i can tell you this administration will not go to a lockdown. The president has been adamant, he continues to fight in the courts to overturn an election. He claims without evidence was stolen from him, but hes running out of route. His campaign has dropped, its action in arizona with joe biden has been declared. The winner cases in michigan and pennsylvania have run into legal difficulties. Law teams have quit the f
So today well talk about the Electoral College, what it is, how it works and why most scholars kind of hate the Electoral College and its among the Political Science set which homely youve had so far and you get a fullthroated argument against the Electoral College and it is a useful, instructive book because lays out all of the common arguments for it, as well which is helpful for allowing each person to sort of make up their mind about what they think about this institution generally speaking. So this is really i do a whole week on this one because its how we like the president and few americans fully understand the process.

You know, youll know, weve been saying that for the last few hours, donald trump has been tweeting out the fact that he believes 2700000 votes were deleted from election machines across the united states. The company that runs those machines said that simply didnt happen. This watchdog is also backing that up, adding inboard in their very own statement. There is no evidence that any of the voting systems deleted or lost sports, changeable, or wasnt any. We compromise this is going to make happy reading for donald trump and me well to the pressure to him to concede the election. If not concede the election at the very least.

So were just adding that to the total mostly the total later on right now though i want to talk about North Carolina 15 Electoral College votes still too close to call but when we break down the numbers we start to get a little bit more of the picture. 100 percent reporting i believe its just short of that actually at the moment and donald trump has a 75000. 00 vote difference but once again North Carolina its the story of the night in so many states that rural urban split there is maybe still a little bit of a runway left for joe biden in the urban areas but it would only be a very small amount and remember in this sort of part of the United States when it goes North Carolina you could pos
2 things will start to come to our aid. Number one, the mass testing the kind i just described, the rapid turnaround testing. And then the other thing is now the prospect, the realistic prospect of a vaccine say you have a kind of, as it were to boxing gloves, to the disease in that, in the weeks and months that followed.
