Tucker Carlson Tonight host discusses the Georgia Senate runoffs and preserving the integrity of elections
There was a time, not that long ago, when Americans expected to learn election results on Election Night. Usually, they did. Were voting machines that much more efficient way back in, say, 2012? No, they weren t. The difference was that we just required most people to vote in-person back then.
In-person voting reduces fraud, and reducing fraud and the appearance of fraud used to be important to us. We wanted people to believe the results when they came in. We wanted to protect the system that made all of our good things possible. We wanted democracy to continue. But then everything changed.

U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner
A federal judge on Monday evening sided with a voting rights organization seeking to prevent two counties from purging thousands of “targeted voters” from their voting rolls less than two weeks ahead of the state’s highly consequential Senate runoff elections.
The controversy stems from the election boards in Ben Hill County and Muscogee County voting to remove the names of more than 4,000 individuals whom they claimed had moved out of state based on unverified data obtained from the National Change of Address (NCOA) registry. “Targeted voters” those whose names appeared on the NCOA registry list attempting to vote in-person would only be permitted to cast provisional ballots, while those seeking to vote via mail would have to provide additional evidence of residency before being sent a ballot.
Lolo Burglary Suspect Denied Release at District Court Hearing
Chief Deputy County Attorney Matt Jennings provided background information about the arrest.
“Treylind Lafley was involved in several reported thefts and incidents in the Lolo area a couple weeks ago,” said Jennings. “Our diligent law enforcement in Missoula County was looking for him and his co defendant. Ultimately, Mr. Lafley did turn himself in and he has been in the Missoula county jail for a couple weeks now.”
Jennings described the hearing that occurred on Monday.
“Yesterday there was a hearing with Mr. Lafley and he requested his release,” he said. “That s something that the Missoula County Attorney s office opposes at this time for community safety reasons, and the judge yesterday continued his bail, as had already been said, so he remains in jail.”

On Nov. 24, 2020, the State of New York Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Kramer Levin client Sutton 58 Associates LLC (Sutton), an affiliate of Gamma Real Estate, in its $100 million lawsuit brought against real estate investor Philip Pilevsky, his sons and related entities.
The 23-page majority opinion held that federal bankruptcy law did not preempt Sutton’s state law claims for tortious interference with contract. This landmark decision from New York’s highest court reversed a decision of the Appellate Division, First Department, which had imperiled the enforceability of “bankruptcy remote special purpose entity” loan structures and “bad boy” springing loan guarantees. The decision thus preserves these two common real estate financing tools that are crucial to many Kramer Levin clients.
