IMO, Acosta acted like an ass and was treated like one. I hope he never gets back in.
CNN can send someone else. Or no one else. I don't care.
CNN in fact has numerous other reporters with hard passes. Acosta is doing this for self only. He's been played by Trump. Trump lives in his head.
Acosta is violating journalism 101 by making himself the story

You have no problem with the SC making rulings based on politics instead of the constitution?
The Feds are finally getting involved, and they're finding inconsistencies...imagine that...

Of course I want the SC following the Constitution, right down the line. I hate politics in general.
Agreed. I don't think he should of had his pass taken away, but it's clear he hasn't been following normal standards. No other reporter, including other CNN reporters, are acting like him. And CNN is playing right into Trump's hands by filing the lawsuit. It gives him a talking point about the press personally attacking him in addition to more free press. Those are the kinds of things that helped get him elected.
I probably shouldn't have posted that. For a lot of reasons.

That is why I asked you about the meme, It implies that tou want politics to run the SC and I didn't think you really did.
Yea but I'm afraid my real job wouldn't. And the picture I posted had others in it besides me who might not like their faces splattered all over the internet.
If people want to vote, then there are ways for them to vote. Early voting is extremely popular now. You have weeks to vote, not just one day. I'm fine with using a drivers license or ID to show proof.
My brother is homeless, yet he has an I'd and a cell phone. If people want to vote, then they will find a way. My kids call me and ask who to vote for, I tell them to do their homework. If it's something they dont understand, then leave it blank
I got to read it before you took it down. Don't worry though. I'll keep it between you and me.
THAT'S RACIST!! You are a racist of the worst kind! How can you be so racist. You're even a misogynist!! Yeah...a racist AND a misogynist. How dare you!!
I wish the WH would give him his credentials back and allow him to go to pressers. The best part would be when Trump ignores him and doesnt allow him to ask questions..or in Acosta's case, "challenge" the president on a comment.
But wait, we keep being told there is NO SUCH THING as in person voter fraud. There are people on this very board who have frequently told us that. Does this mean they had no idea what they were talking about, or were they just liberal shills? I'll go with both.Doug HanksVerified account@doug_hanks

That's the only thing that would have been better than taking his pass.
Let him sit there like the schmoe he is and never get called on. After about a week of that he would spontaneously combust, there'd be a little mess to clean up, and that would be the end of little Jimmy Accoster.
"Audio of a Florida Democratic Party caller leaving a voicemail message asking a Palm Beach County voter to fix their vote by mail ballot after Election Day, which is not allowed, was also sent to POLITICO separately. It was not part of the information turned over to federal prosecutors."

"Update of Georgia Governor's Race results:
For Immediate Release
Wednesday, November 14, 2018
WEDNESDAY TALLIES RE-AFFIRM KEMP'S INSURMOUNTABLE LEAD
(Athens, GA) - On Tuesday, Georgia counties reported their provisional and military/overseas ballot results to the Secretary of State's office. Seven days after the November 6th election, businessman Brian Kemp's lead without a runoff or recount remains clear and insurmountable. Even with lawsuits, publicity stunts, and television ads, Stacey Abrams has no viable path to a recount, runoff, or victory. In response, the Kemp for Governor campaign issued the following statement:
"Since Election night, hardworking Georgians have watched how the 'new' Democratic Party behaves," said Cody Hall, Press Secretary. "From reporting fake vote totals and hosting desperate press conferences to filing dangerous lawsuits that attempt to rewrite election law, count illegal votes and create new ones, Stacey Abrams and her radical backers will stop at nothing to undermine democracy and attempt to steal this election to be Georgia's next governor.
"After all of the theatrics, the math remains the same. Abrams lost and Brian Kemp won. This election is over. Stacey Abrams needs to concede. It’s time to move past the campaign and work towards a safer, stronger Georgia."

CNN is starting to report that Nelson is going to win. If Nelson wins, I don't see how DeSantis doesn't win.
I haven't seen that report, but, that'd be great if it happens . . though it's not very probable. Scott & DeSantis will both win.
My bad, they're reporting that Scott is going to win. I have no idea why I typed Nelson. I've been groggy all day for some reason.

I heard that 14k votes were stricken down in Broward because the district was trying to add votes where their signatures didn't match. I also heard that the recount extension was stricken down by the appeals court, which would mean the recount ends tonight. If those are both true, I don't see how Nelson or Gillum wins. However, there's been so much shady stuff going on this election, that I won't feel comfortable until it's official.
If it holds like it is there will be some screaming at the sky this week.
And that will be another win for us. #winning
Although I’m a bit concerned that @Hark_The_Sound_2010 might hurt his right hand if all this were to occur.
The thing is, if you read the story, there has never been a recount that has come up with 12k votes. The biggest in history was about 11.5k votes, and most of them don't even reach a 1k difference, let alone a 12k difference.
