More than 2,600 account ballots found in Georgia County: report
According to reports, more than 2,600 ballots in Georgia’s Floyd County, not long enough, were recently found during voting for the state’s 2020 presidential election.
Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperg blamed Floyd County election officials for the problem after they failed to upload votes from a memory card into a ballot-scanning machine.
Georgia began counting its nearly 5 million ballots by hand on Friday after President Donald Trump and the Republican Party requested a statewide audit date.
The fact that the previous 2,600 ballots in the county revealed in the vote count process is a highly significant issue. Floyd County Republican Party Chairman Luke Martin called the tragedy “relevant” but insisted it “does not appear to be a widespread issue.”
Martin told the Atlanta-Journal constitution, “It was revealed by the audit and I’m glad all the votes are counted, I’m glad.”
Numerous ballots have not yet been found in other counties, in which the count figures match their original numbers, Raffensperg said.
Despite President Trump’s alleged denial of voter fraud, the counting of ballots will do little to close the 14,000-vote gap with presidential-election Joe Biden. Click here for more of our top story.

After the Bill’s press conference, Bill Hammer called the media a ‘love fest’
Fox News anchor Bill Hammer called on reporters to question President-elect Joe Biden.
On Monday, Biden commented on how his administration would run the economy, but then raised questions from a handful of pre-selected journalists, who focused mostly on President Trump and refused to accept the election.
“Bill Hammer Reports” offers his reaction immediately after anchor Biden left the podium.
“You’ll notice how much Love Fest is here among the media,” Hammer told the audience.
During a panel discussion with Washington Washington Post columnist Mark Thisen and Democratic strategist Moe Aleithi, Hammer offered a sample of questions asked by reporters.
“By my reckoning, Mark, here were the questions: If the president doesn’t leave, what are you going to do?” Hammer said. “A journalist called it an ‘unprecedented blockade of transition plans.’ … Another question: Will you get vaccinated? What did you think of the president’s tweet on Saturday? Another question is whether families should get together for Turkey Day.”
Reporters have long been criticized for questioning how they campaigned for the Democratic candidate at the time, especially when Biden was asked what flavor ice cream he got at a campaign stop instead of pressing about the controversy surrounding his son Hunter Biden. Click here for more.

California authorities insist people stay at home – meanwhile, they are escaping the charming escape in Hawaii
California legislators are descending on a week-long policy conference in Hawaii as the Golden State urges its citizens to stay away from travel and indoor gatherings.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Independent Voter Project (IVP), which is conducting the conference, refused to name less than 20 legislators who came en masse from California, Texas and Washington.
The conference is being held at Fairmont Kia Lani in Maui, with policy discussions and “squeezing” with corporate sponsors at a cost of Rs. Its website says the program is four days long and aims to “provide a setting for a diverse group of elected officials and industry experts, away from the capital, to consider policy matters in a non-partisan manner.”
News of the incident came just days after the California Department of Public Health issued a travel advisory, urging residents to stay home and not leave their “territory.”
“People in California are encouraged to stay at home or in their area and avoid unnecessary travel to other states or countries,” reads the advice from Friday. “Avoiding travel reduces the risk of transmitting the virus and bringing the virus back to California.” It also recommends that returnees to California be kept separate for 14 days upon arrival.
The Hawaii Council was just the latest to raise questions about how politicians spent their time pointing citizens to keep themselves apart. For example, Governor Gavin News came under fire after attending a dinner party with his wife on November 6th. The gathering was attended by at least a dozen people and took place at an upscale restaurant in Napa Valley. Click here for more.

Some parts words
Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday visited the Georgia G.O.P. Officials were criticized as the Peach State continues to recount the presidential vote.
“I don’t think brain surgery should be the only criterion for determining whether to vote in Georgia.” “They should have checked the signatures against the same database that Election Day voters were supposed to meet with those requesting the mailing ballot.” “It’s easy.”
