Joe Biden (still) wins Georgia: Georgia finished its risk-limiting audit, the process Georgia's Secretary of State required to essentially double-check the presidential election results. According to the audit, Biden is still the winner of Georgia. The audit consisted of "159 counties examining 41,881 batches of ballots in less than six days," according to GPB News. The vote count varied by about a tenth of a percent, dropping Biden's victory margin from around 14,000 to 13,000 after "four counties discovered ballots that were not scanned or uploaded properly." The Trump campaign will likely request a recount.

Before you blaspheme the Seattle City Council: Take a minute to appreciate that our city council isn't the Cincinnati City Council. As of today, three members of Cincinnati's nine-person council have been arrested and indicted on federal bribery and corruption charges. The most recent arrest is Councilmember P.G. Sittenfeld. All of the arrestees are accused of "selling their votes and influence to developers eager to capitalize on the urban revival occurring across the county," reports the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Trump zeroes in on Michigan: Michigan must certify its election results by Monday. Before that deadline, Trump is inviting Michigan state politicians to meet with him in what seems to be an attempt to stop the certification from happening. According to the New York Times:

Trump allies appear to be pursuing a highly dubious legal theory that if the results are not certified, Republican legislatures could intervene and appoint pro-Trump electors in states Mr. Biden won who would support the president when the Electoral College meets on Dec. 14.

Biden condemned Trump: And called him "one of the most irresponsible presidents in American history," reports the Guardian.

Rudy Giuliani is having a moment: President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, led what CNN dubbed a "wild, fact-free press conference" about Trump's case for virulent voter fraud during the election. Giuliani presented outlandish conspiracy theories, such as, for example, a theory about some voting machines using software "created 'at the direction' of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to swing his own election results." The voting machine company was of course, Giuliani said without providing any evidence, tied to George Soros and the Clinton Foundation. Giuliani also falsely claimed mail-in ballots were prone to fraud, and that another type of software hacked Trump votes and switched them to Biden votes.

Oh, no he's leaking: Rudy, you forgot to close your gas cap. The New York Times looked into what this dark sweat could be. According to hair dressers, the dark liquid wasn't hair dye. One colorist hypothesized that Giuliani could have "used mascara or a touch-up pen to make sure his sideburns matched the rest."
