In the press release they did suggest democrats were engaged in some sort of manipulation of the vote count. Were going to keep an eye on that as we keep an eye on the ongoing vote count.

Each candidate has 49. 4 of the vote. Theyre continuing to count absentee ballots but biden is ahead by 1100 votes. A live look in arizona, this is maricopa county. 90 of the vote in there right now, looking a little sleepy in the vote counting room. Biden is up about 47,000 points and maricopa has more than 200,000 ballots outstanding. So we are keeping an eye on that as well as pennsylvania this morning. It looks like we are going to have potentially some solid results by the end of the day. We will keep you posted. Bac
