There weren’t enough viewers, so they had to duplicate them.
So there’s no such thing as voter fraud? Then why is a judge in New Jersey ordering a new election?

In more legal news, a California appeals court has issued a stay that will allow Uber and Lyft to continue operations in that state. The business model of the two companies falls afoul of AB5, the state’s anti-freelance, anti-gig work law.
