That is so true...

Conservatives have nowhere to turn to but small individual news outlets...Even FOX is questionable at times...

FNC is controlled opposition.

If you question this, consider their reaction when Hannity (btw, I am not a big fan of his) spoke at a Trump rally.

THIS JUST IN RE GEORGIA: Federal Judge Orders Georgia To Postpone Election Certification,
BY ED MORRISSEY, November 13, 2018, hotair.com
—snip—

The gap in the gubernatorial race is presently more than 57,000 votes, so Stacy Abrams can’t win even if she gets every signal vote from the provisional ballots. However, Kemp’s currently at 50.262% of the vote, barely enough to keep from having to face Abrams in a runoff. Abrams is hoping to get enough votes out of the provisional ballots to force Kemp into a head-to-head match on December 4th.

Is that possible? Yes, but only just.

In order to fall below the 50% mark now with just the provisional ballots as the pool of remaining votes, Kemp would have to have received fewer than 3,510 votes in the provisional ballots if they all get accepted and counted. It doesn’t matter how many votes Abrams gets, assuming all 27,000 turn out to be valid; she doesn’t need to gain another vote as long as Kemp doesn’t get them. However, that would require Kemp to get less than 13% of provisional ballots while winning slightly more than 50% in the overall vote — which would be a very strange statistical anomaly.

The distribution of outstanding provisional ballots makes this scenario even less likely. Between Democratic bastions DeKalb and Fulton counties, there are 6,678 outstanding provisional ballots — but even in these counties, Kemp got 16% and 27% of the vote, respectively. Cobb County has 2202 provisional ballots, but Kemp got 45% of the Cobb County vote. He also got 42% of the vote in Gwinett, which has 2,427 provisional ballots outstanding. Between those four Atlanta-region counties in Abrams’ power base, there are less than half of the provisional ballots left to count (11,307), and the rest are widely dispersed throughout the state.

There is no reason to suspect that Kemp won’t get more than enough votes to sustain a majority and avoid a runoff, even if every provisional ballot is accepted.

This looks like a postponement of the inevitable. Abrams came close enough to contest the issue, but not close enough to win it through legal maneuvers. But the fact she got this close in the first place is a big warning sign for Republicans about Georgia in 2020 and beyond.Nov 14.
