| "The Results Remain Unchanged" Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, announced the state had completed its review of the 2020 election, and that it reaffirmed President-Elect Joe Biden’s victory.
In a Monday press conference, Raffensperger said the state will re-certify the results after three counts of the ballots.
"This Isn’t a Third World Country"
Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan defended the integrity of his state’s election on CNN this morning by saying “it wasn’t hard” to determine that it was a “fair and legal” contest.
"Scared." MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle admitted Monday that she and her family had contracted Covid-19. “After testing positive for Covid-19, I have spent the better part of the last two weeks in bed isolating and taking all the precautions needed to protect myself, my family, and my community,” Ruhle told viewers of her Monday program. "As a person who is sick and scared, I am begging you, please take this seriously. It is not over," she said in her plea for good judgment and caution.
