This was made possible by the passing of Ballot Measure 109, per the Associated Press, which will […]
Biden‘s campaign said early Wednesday they had legal teams “standing by” should Trump, who falsely declared victory in the presidential election despite the race being quite obviously undecided, follow through on his threat to go to court in an effort to block the counting of votes. Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign manager, rightfully noted Trump’s “naked effort” to […]
