The reason the election cant be certified yet is there are 8,000 professional and Absentee Ballots that have yet to be counted and it will take a week for all of that counting to take place and then the other variable that could take place that is if the margin shrinks to less than half a percentage

Its Congressman Collins, his son and the sons soon to be fatherinlaw. There are a lot of references to coconspirators not named as defendants. Yes. So are those folks who if youre a prosecutor, are these other Family Members who are cooperating or might they be indicted down the road. They could be indicted down the road. At this point theyre not being indicted but they participated in criminal conspiracy according to the indictment. The most Famous Coconspirator in an indictment probably was Richard Nixon in the watergate affair.
