Washington Post:
Rupert Murdoch will be deposed next week in billion-dollar Big Lie defamation lawsuit
Walter EinenkelThe Big Lie is first and foremost … a lie. The fact that the MAGA-world, with the cowardly complicity of the entire Republican Party, believes it does not mean it isn’t still a lie. The fact that leaders in the political party promoting the Big Lie know it is a complete fabrication of events does not make it any more true. That’s how reality and lies work. And while the threat to our democracy is very real, there is a ton of money at stake for people that make money off of our election infrastructure.
One such company is Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion Voting equipment has been at the nexus of all kinds of fact-free conspiracy theories of how the wildly unpopular disgraced former president could somehow remain wildly unpopular and receive a lot less votes than his opponent in 2020. As the right-wing-o-sphere of propaganda pushed the theory that Dominion Voting Systems are corrupted by secret “deep state” forces, Dominion decided that instead of potentially losing billions of dollars, it would sue all of the people promoting the lie for defamation.
One of the entities being pressed in the $1.6 billion defamation case is Fox News. Dominion Voting Systems’ lawyers have argued that Fox News’ on-air personalities have knowingly promoted a lie. They have repeatedly reported falsehoods, knowingly, for profit. In so doing, they have called into question the integrity of the product Dominion Voting Systems makes. That’s the defamation part. When you are a billion-dollar company suing another billion-dollar company, people are going to be deposed. So far Fox luminaries like Jeanine Pirro, Steve Doocy, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Lou Dobbs have reportedly been deposed, along with various “news” producers at the network.
On Monday, reports began filtering out that the 91-year-old big fish at Fox News would soon be sitting down to give the court an Australian accented deposition.
Rupert Murdoch will reportedly be forced to answer questions under oath concerning his network’s handling of the 2020 presidential election. Murdoch is the chairman of Fox News parent company Fox Corp. The Washington Post reports that he will face Dominion lawyers on Dec. 13 and Dec. 14. The deposition will be conducted via video conference according to court filings on the matter. What will Murdoch be asked and what he will testify to will be interesting to know. When Fox News failed to get Dominion’s defamation lawsuit thrown out of court, the judge cited a report noting Murdoch had spoken with Donald Trump a few days after the election and had told the Donald he was a big loser and had been fired by the American people.
Murdoch’s deposition will be the highest-ranking power player to be forced into questioning in the defamation case. He follows Rupert’s son Lachlan Murdoch, chief executive at Fox Corp., in sitting for a deposition on Monday. It also comes a few weeks after Fox News CEO, Suzanne Scott, and President Jay Wallace sat for depositions in the case.
Even though Fox News hijacked the MAGA narrative on election night by telling the truth for a change—announcing the harsh reality that Donald Trump lost Arizona—it could not maintain the pivot towards a more reality-based conservatism. After digging through the bottom of the barrel for decades, its many on air personalities spent the following weeks and months promoting the Big Lie rather than lose the MAGA zombies they profit off of.
Fox News has argued a number of things: The fact that Donald Trump was president and saying the election was stolen is newsworthy enough to present with zero factual support; Fox News’ on-air hosts have journalistic protections that should shield them from discovery of their sources. It’s the “somebody who told me there was cheating without providing any evidence so I just passed on the rumor” defense.
But as dean of the Roger Williams School of Law, David A. Logan, told The New York Times, while most defamation cases favor media outlets and their rights, “This is a very different kind of case.” It’s a different case because this isn’t a matter of a single report, an erroneous statement followed up by a half-hearted correction. “Rarely do cases turn on a weekslong pattern of inflammatory, provably false, but also oddly inconsistent statements.”
Dominion’s lawsuit against Fox News is just one of many similar lawsuits taking place against the right-wing propaganda machine-turned-fascist propaganda machine. OANN and Newsmax are being sued by both Dominion and Smartmatic (in separate cases). Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is being sued by Dominion. MyPillow guy Mike Lindell, far-right attorney Sidney Powell, and black hair ink aficionado Rudy Giuliani are all being sued by both Smartmatic and Dominion for promoting baseless lies.

Jan. 6 committee expects to issue criminal referrals, as DOJ subpoenas officials leaned on by Trump
Mark SumnerSpeaking to reporters on Tuesday, committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson indicated that the House select committee on Jan. 6 will be making criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. Those referrals might potentially include charges against Donald Trump, as well as for high members of his White House staff like former chief of staff Mark Meadows. The DOJ does not necessarily have to act on these referrals, but such an announcement from the committee could make clear that they found what they believe to be serious criminal wrongdoing in the lead-up to Jan. 6.
Back in July, NBC News reported on the possibility of such a referral being made. At the time, committee members already said they could envision multiple referrals being made based on the evidence heard at the time, and that was before several witnesses came forward, as well as before the committee gained access to some documents. The committee itself has no prosecution powers, and has been thwarted in its efforts to hear from Trump and other officials who resisted subpoenas to testify.
But even as the committee prepares to send over its recommendations, recently appointed special counsel Jack Smith is already taking action. As The Washington Post reports, Smith has subpoenaed local officials in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin who cooperated in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Additional subpoenas for records in select counties went out last week. Together they show that Smith is following a similar path as the committee: one that directly connects violence at the Capitol with Trump’s efforts to end democracy.
........
While the Republicans may still be snarling and circling each other over who will take the gavel as speaker of the House in January, there’s almost no doubt that any GOP leader will immediately put an end to the House select committee investigating events related to the Jan. 6 insurrection. That means that the clock is ticking loudly on that final report expected from the committee, and on any other actions they may take.
NBC News is now reporting more statements from Thompson, who said, “We have made decisions on criminal referrals,” However, it appears that the committee hasn’t decided exactly what charges will be forwarded.
“I wish I could tell you one, two, three, four,” said Thompson, “but that’s all still being discussed.”
The DOJ has charged at least 955 people with crimes related to events on that day. The investigation now taken over by Smith has largely moved on from looking at those who pushed through police lines to break into the Capitol that day, and is now dealing with the planning behind those events and actions taken by Trump and others to encourage the violence.
Among those subpoenaed are election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona—who were contacted by both Trump and Rudy Giuliani— as well as officials in Milwaukee and Dane counties in Wisconsin. Smith is after any communication the election officials had with Trump, Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien, Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn, and attorneys Justin Clark, Matthew Morgan, John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Cleta Mitchell.
One of those sought, former Maricopa County board supervisor Clint Hickman, received multiple direct calls from Trump, but refused to pick up the phone. Instead, he let the calls go to voicemail.
From this it’s clear that Hickman knew what Trump was trying to do was wrong. It also seems that at least one person involved in this whole mess actually did get called “sir.”
John Bolton threatens to run in 2024 after calling Trump ‘un-American’
Rebekah SagerJohn Bolton, former national security adviser to ex-President Donald Trump, slammed comments made by his former boss recently that call for the termination of the Constitution. These comments inspired Bolton to threaten to launch his own presidential run in 2024. And now it’s official: The clowns are lining up early.
In an appearance Monday on NBC News’ Meet the Press Now, Bolton said Trump’s recent Truth Social post was “disqualifying.”
“A president, when he’s sworn into office, takes a Constitutional oath and says in part, ‘I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.’ Donald Trump has just said he won’t do that. That is disqualifying, and Republican leaders have to say that,” Bolton said.
Bolton went on to say that any Republican candidate who runs for president in 2024 needs to repudiate Trump’s comments. And if they don’t, “there’s one thing that would get me to get into the presidential race, which I’ve looked at at prior elections, it would be to make it clear to the people of this country that Donald Trump is unacceptable as the Republican nominee.”
When pushed about whether Bolton would actually enter the 2024 race, he answered, “Absolutely.”
“I think to be a presidential candidate, you can’t simply say, ‘I support the Constitution,’ you have to say, ‘I would oppose people who would undercut it,’” Bolton said, adding that to say what Trump said is “un-American.”
Bolton added that in order for him not to run, he would need to see “Shermanesque statements from all the potential candidates … If I don’t see that, I’m going to seriously consider getting in,” and he doubled down by tweeting this segment of his interview.
Let’s talk about who is also un-American (and equally vile): John Bolton.
First off, Bolton was a devout supporter of the Vietnam War but someone who refused actually to fight in it himself.
Under the late former President Ronald Reagan, Bolton fought relentlessly to remove regulations on marketing baby formula in nations without clean water. And under former President George W. Bush, Bolton lied about Cuba having a biological weapons program.
In a 2015 op-ed for The New York Times, Bolton suggested the U.S. should “Bomb Iran!” And let’s not forget Bolton’s call for a war with North Korea—by, in essence, destroying the Constitution.
Bolton resigned from Trump’s Cabinet in 2019 and went on to write a memoir that primarily focused on the former president.
Bolton said of the former president: “He second-guessed people’s motives, saw conspiracies behind rocks, and remained stunningly uninformed on how to run the White House, let alone the huge federal government.”
When asked about his platform if he were to run, Bolton said simply, “Trump’s a whiner; he’s negative; he’s the ‘most-persecuted American out there.’ This is a 180-degree opposite of Ronald Regan.”
Bolton added that he would be a Reagan-styled candidate and would be announcing his run sooner rather than later.
Do you like Donald Trump? Do you like hats? Then have we got a deal for you
HunterHey, kids. Do you like hats? Do you like Donald Trump? Okay, let's all shut up for a minute and pretend you do. If you're the kind of person who likes Donald Trump and has a human head then you're going to want to get in on this hot new product advertised on Trump's Truth Social and shared by reddit user cujokila for the r/ParlerWatch community.
As marketed by PatriotSurging dot com, it's a "Trump 2024 Camo Hat" that's three parts camo, and one part Flags 'n Stuff. And it's absolutely "FREE" to all "Patriots." Made using only the most patriotic grades of plastic and other synthetics, "conservatives have fallen in love" with these hats. "But if the Democrats are successful, you won't be able to find these Trump hats anymore..."
Who could say no to a FREE hat? It only stands to reason that a "Trump 2024 / Take America Back!" hat made from only the finest and most luxurious material these kind of hats are made of would be loved by conservatives—and loathed by Democrats. And this hat could be yours, FREE, thanks to PatriotThrusting dot com.
And by "FREE," what we actually mean is free except for a small $7.95 shipping and handling fee. Those are low fees for shipping a product of this caliber! Your hat will be shipped across the Pacific Ocean in a mostly entirely rodent-free shipping container before being lovingly unpacked by only the most patriotic of North American workers. At only $7.95, there's never been a better bargain. You too can show your support for Donald Trump for the free price of $7.95, plus our low one-month membership fee of $67.32.
We've chosen that one-month membership price for the convenience of you, the customer. It's got a six, and a seven, and a three and a two, allowing number lovers from across the land to enjoy all four digits on their credit card statement. For the low total price of $75.37, you can own this free hat commissioned by an unnamed "patriotic survival company" and sent from PatriotPulsating dot com.
You do want to survive, right? What better way is there to survive than to cover your human head in a camouflaged pattern so that your noggin is less visible to North America's many apex predators? Normal camouflage patterns can be purchased anywhere, but only our product and possibly others like it break up the monotony of camouflage greens and browns with a big ol' honkin picture of the Red, White 'n Blue. Turn your head to one direction to blend into the very fabric of nature; turn it to the other to shout "I am a Trump-supporting patriot and I don't care whether you see me or not."
Imagine the reaction from The Libs when you materialize out of tall plastic office ferns to declare "Trump 2024, Take America Back!" Your coworkers will scream in surprise and know they have been owned. And you can own those Libs time and time again with your free hat for just $75.37.
And by $75.37, we mean that that's your low first-month payment for this luxurious imported patriotic hat. You'll pay just $75.37, plus a low monthly membership fee of $56.95 per month from now until you remember to cancel. If you decide to cancel your membership, we'll provide you with a phone number so that you can speak to one of our agents about your decision to not be a Patriot anymore. If you decide you are still a Patriot after all, you'll continue to enjoy membership in our Consumer Direct Savings store, not affiliated with Donald Trump or the family, campaign, or past sexual partners of Donald Trump. That's a low yearly fee of just $683.40, plus $67.32, plus $7.95, and this free hat can be yours.
You'll also enjoy shopping at our members-only store, where you'll receive a $200 gift card each month to purchase from our "hundreds" of products available at prices you and your fellow patriots literally won't believe. You can wear your free hat as a public sign that you aren't just more patriotic than other Trump voters, you're patriotic enough to pay nearly $700 a year to PatriotSoftlyBouncing dot com, a company that has absolutely no connection to Donald Trump whatsoever. If the Democrats are successful, you won't be able to purchase this hat from our company ever again—so act now, before the Democrats get their way.
Owning Libs through your headwear purchases is all fine and good, but what happens if your prized head-lid gets damaged? Imagine this: You're participating in a patriotic insurrection to install Donald Trump, or possibly Eric Trump or perhaps Tiffany, as the first patriotic god-king of the United States. Things are going well until, out of nowhere, your head intersects in a spacial way with a weaponized, concrete-filled flagpole swung wildly by one of your equally patriotic patriots. Your head looks the same as it always has, at least as far as you know, but what's this? Oh no, your free hat has been damaged!
Less patriotic factory-to-you membership companies might not be able to respond to such events, but we're different. That's why we at PatriotLeaking dot com are offering our Freedom Hat Protection Plan. For an optional add-on fee of $3.99, we'll replace your Freedom Hat if it gets damaged for FREE, charging you only an unspecified shipping and handling fee for the new hat.
That's one-fifth of a bee less than $4.00 to protect an investment of $7.95, plus $67.32, plus $683.40 per year forever. Democrats don't want you to pay that additional fee, but remember: Soon you won't be able to find these Limited Edition Trump Hats anymore, for any price. We won't have any left to ship to you even if you wanted one, unless you pay $3.99 now, in which case we will.
But there's even more at stake here. True patriots know that being able to camouflage their balding neck-knobs might be important, but more important still is showing support for Donald J. Trump and for the Trump Organization and all relevant subsidiary companies. Rest assured, patriot. For the low price of $7.95, plus $67.32, plus $683.40 per year, plus $3.99, you'll enter the elite membership of patriots willing to show their support for Trump 2024, Take America Back! without paying Donald Trump, his companies or his campaign a single cent.
That's right. We here at Interchangeable Shell Company, Ltd aren't the sort of non-patriots who would insult Donald Trump by sending him money. True patriots know that Donald Trump is the most wealthy Patriot in the world, a man in control of billions upon billions of mostly United States dollars. There's nothing the likes of you could do to make him more successful than he already is; he has already achieved peak patriotic success. That's why we at Somewhere Near Panama Holdings, Inc, make sure none of the money from your Trump hat purchase goes to Trump or anything related to Trump.
For the nearly free price of $7.95, plus $67.32, plus $683.40 per year, plus $3.99, you can "prepare yourself and your family to support Trump in 2024" without giving him any of your insulting small change. Few pro-Trump patriots will be able to say the same. Even fewer will have the ability to blend invisibly into office greenery, tall hedges, or your neighbor's rhododendrons.
Now how much would you pay? Unless the Democrats have their way, you don't have to pay a dime for this FREE hat after paying a $7.95 shipping and handling fee, plus $67.32 for your first month's membership in the Not Donald Trump Factory Import Club, plus $683.40 per year in membership fees, plus $3.99 for our Extended Hat Warranty Program.
Act now, because this offer from PatriotHeaving dot com won't last long. It's only a matter of time before Democrats stop EngorgedPatriot dot com from doing business in Your City—unless you love Donald Trump and hats more than we love Donald Trump and hats and—oooooh, you were too late. We're not offering the hats anymore. Now PatriotSurging dot com is offering (1) FREE Tactical Backpack. It seems Patriots have fallen in love with these free Limited Edition Tactical Backpacks. They'd normally cost you in the neighborhood of $200.00, give or take a few bees, but we're offering these Tactical Black Ops Backpacks for FREE if you act now. Prepare to "defend yourself and your family now, before it's too late" with your Free Tactical Black Ops Backpack…

HUH? Tucker Carlson (Senior FOX News Misinformer) Declares that 'Misinformation Can Be True'
News CorpseSince it's inception, the mission of Fox News has been to advance the propaganda and lies of the Republican Party and its ultra-rightist agenda. Their management, editors, and program hosts are all chosen for, and devoted to that mission. And in recent years their extremist political evangelism has fervently pledged to the Cult of Donald Trump.
Leading the wingnut evangelical crusade at Fox News is their top-rated host, Tucker Carlson. His program has become the most popular media destination for America's white supremacists, misogynists, homophobes, and many other hate groups.
On Monday's episode of Carlson's hate-fest, he joined the conservative media's embrace of Elon Musk's Twitter nothingburger that purported to reveal an ingrained bias in favor of Democrats and then-presidential candidate Joe Biden. Suffice to say that the entire alleged "bombshell" was a spectacular dud that produced nothing but rank speculation, fabrication, and the disturbing doxing of private Twitter communications and staff.
Nevertheless, Fox News and Carlson were determined to further brainwash their audience with flagrant falsehoods. And apparently aware that their deceits were too obvious to disguise, they endeavored to frame lies as truths. Carlson literally defined falsehoods as facts. And not even "alternative facts" as previously dubbed by his Fox News colleague, and Trump toady, Kellyanne Conway. Carlson confabulated that...
For the record, misinformation cannot be true. It is, by definition, untrue. If it were true there would be nothing amiss in it. And only in the perverse world of Carlson and Fox News could such a ludicrous contention be made or taken seriously. But then again, it was Carlson who was actually defended in a defamation lawsuit by his own Fox News lawyers who told the court that "no reasonable person" would believe anything he said.
In the same program, Carlson elaborated on his adoption of the Musk Twitter files non-scandal. He complained about Twitter's decisions to moderate the content on their platform in order to prevent Russia from spreading propaganda that was intended to benefit Trump and to sow distrust of American elections. Never mind that Musk's pathetic exposé failed to reveal any wrongdoing or bias. Carlson was outraged at what consumed his imagination, or at least what he wanted to consume the imaginations of his viewers. He huffed that...
First of all, Twitter didn't do anything with the FBI. The internal messages that Musk published proved that all of the decisions about what disinformation to suppress were made solely by Twitter "safety and trust" staff. No government entity or personnel were involved, other than to flag tweets that potentially violated Twitter's rules. And those came from both Democrats and Republicans. Also, at the time, Biden wasn't president. It all took place during Trump's administration with his appointees heading the FBI and the Justice Department.
Yet Carlson thinks that there was something nefarious going on for which he found it "hard to imagine a more brazen attack on our democracy." Really? More brazen than the attempt to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021? More brazen than trying to undermine the election for two years and install the loser as dictator? More brazen than calling for the "termination" of the Constitution.
Carlson also appears to have no idea what the First Amendment says. It is a constraint on government from imposing censorship. It has no authority over private individuals or businesses, such as Twitter.
Finally, Carlson really needs to think twice before bringing up in-kind contributions to political campaigns. Because if that were a concept that were upheld, Fox News would have have to declare billions of dollars in donations that it made to Trump and other GOP candidates for the past quarter century.
Trump did not disclose $19.8m loan while president, documents show
The loan from Daewoo, a company with ties to North Korea, and should have been on public financial disclosure reports
Donald Trump failed to disclose a $19.8m loan from a company with historical ties to North Korea, while he was the US president, according to a new report.
Documents obtained by the New York attorney general, and reported by Forbes, on Sunday indicate a previously unreported loan owed by Trump to Daewoo, the South Korean conglomerate.
Daewoo was the only South Korean company allowed to operate a business in North Korea during the mid-1990s.
Forbes revealed that Trump’s relationship with Daewoo is at least 25 years old. At one point, Daewoo partnered with Trump on a development project near the United Nations headquarters in New York City, Trump World Tower.
Trump and Daewoo continued to do business together, including using Trump’s name on six South Korea-based properties from 1999 to 2007, according to the magazine......
Live Coverage: Georgia Senate runoff election
Daily Kos Elections for Daily Kos LiveblogsUPDATE: Tuesday, Dec 6, 2022 · 8:42:08 PM EST · Steve Singiser
And just like that: Walker takes a small lead (7000 votes out of 2.1 million cast). Again, this is exactly what happened in both 2021 and in November. Smaller rural counties are much more likely to count their election day votes quickly, because (natch) there are fewer of them to count. Warnock still has a huge cushion waiting on him in Atlanta metro, including another 250,000 votes or so in DeKalb County, which is likely to split 80-20 for him (or better!).
.....
UPDATE: Tuesday, Dec 6, 2022 · 8:37:28 PM EST · Steve Singiser
We’re now heading towards two million total votes, and Republican Herschel Walker has cut the lead for Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock to 51-49. HOWEVER, there are no less than 700,000 votes left to count in Democratic stronghold counties in metro Atlanta. This will likely look a lot like November (and the 2021 runoffs, for that matter) where the Republicans will claim a small lead for a short while, only to cough it up when more of those big urban counties report.
.......
UPDATE: Tuesday, Dec 6, 2022 · 8:14:40 PM EST · Steve Singiser
All but a handful of counties have tallied at least some votes, and it looks like at least two dozen very red and rural counties have reported most of their votes. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock’s lead is now 53-47, but if there is cause for optimism, he has built a lead of over 115,000 votes with little vote tallied from DeKalb (only about 13,000 votes of an expected 250,000) and with a lot of deep red counties already having reported their votes.
QAnon thinks Kirstie Alley was murdered over vaccine skepticism, because that's just logical
Aldous J PennyfarthingWe appreciated Kirstie Alley for her iconic appearances in Star Trek II, Cheers, and other beloved films and TV programs, but most of us likely got off the bandwagon when she went MAGA. Whatever you think of her, though, it’s simply not okay that “they” murdered her over her vaccine skepticism.
And make no mistake about it, that’s exactly what the ubiquitous, amorphous “they” have done. And they did it after she reached the age of 71—which is “17” backwards … which is obviously code for the 17th letter of the alphabet: Q.
Yeah, you probably know where this is going, huh?
Turns out Alley didn’t die of cancer—as our secret reptilian overlords, with the imprimatur of the Supreme Galactic Emperor Xenu (Alley was also a Scientologist), recently announced—but from murder most foul. Because all human deaths are now vaccine- or Hillary Clinton-related, whether we want to admit it or not.
VICE News:
According to VICE News, QAnon adherents on extremist message boards and right-leaning to entirely tipped-over sites like Truth Social, Gab, and Telegram have also speculated that Alley may have been forced to get a COVID-19 vaccine after joining the cast of The Masked Singer, despite her vocal criticism of the shots. In addition, one commenter on Telegram said they’d called the hospital in Florida where Alley was being treated to find out if it required their patients to get COVID shots. While that individual never got an answer, they encouraged others to call, too. Because of course. I mean, why wouldn’t you?
Another commenter stated, “Can't help but wonder if ‘they’ got her in another way.”
Yeah, “they” get you one way or another eventually. It’s Kobayashi Maru everywhere you look these days.
But that person wasn’t alone in their unhealthy skepticism.
“Smells fishy,” wrote a QAnon group on Telegram. “She’d been asking a lot of questions about official narratives. Funny thing, these fast acting cancers and celebs that don’t fall in line.”
Yup, that’s the plan. Fill has-been B-list celebrities with “fast-acting” cancers, instead of, say, taking out Kim Jong-un. Just like how Democrats stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump but left Mitch McConnell in power. Makes sense.
Speaking of Trump, his eponymous company was just convicted on 17 counts of tax fraud. As we noted earlier, “17” = Q. Weird, huh?
Nope. All part of the plan.
After I’m cryogenically frozen and thawed out in the year 2143 as part of a Swanson Hungry-Reptile-Man TV dinner, I’ll be too embarrassed to tell them which era I’m from. “Donald Trump? Never heard of him. So would you like a wing or a leg? The legs are bigger, but there’s more implanted alien DNA in the arms. You know, because of the COVID vaccines. Bon appétit!”

DeKalb County just dropped about 100,000 votes, which predictably broke immensely to Raphael Warnock. That has moved him back into the lead, with a lead of 22,000 votes (Warnock +0.9). And there are still about 550,000 votes left to count in the quartet of Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett.

With 2.6 million votes counted, we are...for all intents and purposes...tied. Herschel Walker has a nominal lead of just 980 votes. So why are Republicans a bit down and Democrats confident?
Because of simple math: at this point, the five big Atlanta area blue counties (Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett, and Henry) have about 575,000 votes left to count. The whole state? Probably 800,000 votes left in total, maybe 900,000 at most. You would much, much rather be Raphael Warnock right now.

Fulton County just dropped about 45,000 votes, which broke heavily for Senator Warnock. That addition to the count puts him back ahead in the count, which I do believe is the seventh time that the lead has changed in this evolving ballot count.

Here is the quick math on why Democrats are still feeling quite confident despite Herschel Walker retaking a very narrow lead for the third time tonight:
If you only count counties that have >10% of their votes outstanding, that means that roughly 635,000 votes are on the table, according to NY Times estimates. 519,000 of them are in Democratic counties carried by Raphael Warnock in November. That’s 81.7% of the outstanding vote.
In other words, Walker is getting dangerously close to tapped out.
