Not much to report today.

The media organizations have finally called Alaska for the Republicans, in both the Presidency and the Senate race. That puts the current electoral college score at 279-217. The leads in the Pennsylvania and the three uncalled states are now as follows: Biden by 53K in Pennsylvania; Biden by 14K in Georgia; Biden by less than 12K in Arizona; and Trump by 73K in North Carolina.

Georgia announced today that they will do a full hand recount, as opposed to a mechanical recount. The election certification deadline in Georgia is 9 days from now, on November 20th; it seems arduous to get a hand recount of almost 5 million votes accomplished by then.

Biden made his first significant appointment announcement today, naming (to nobody’s surprise) Ron Klain as his chief of staff.

A good article today from Benjamin Wittes, “How Hard is it to Overturn an American Election?”
