Coverboy And Still We Wait
Still Too Close to Call
By Daddy
Las Vegas — At 9 pm Las Vegas time we're still waiting for that magic 270 to be announced. Trumps path to victory is getting very narrow. Bidens path is easier but still isn't a surety. The Republicans have launched several law suits which is telling us what their mind set is.
Now that I'm a couple weeks from my birthday my mind is turning to what I want for my birthday. Traditionally I have given myself the best presents. The first idea is a new digital wall clock. The once I have now is ancient but it does sync itself to WWV. I've been cruising Amazon for one that still syncs the time automatically and provides a bit more information than I have now.
The other idea is a new camcorder as the one I have likewise is ancient and still uses tapes which are getting increasingly more difficult to edit. I'm keeping my eye on the Cannon refurbished web page and the Vixen HF80 which at $230 is hard to resist.
As is usual as we head into the holidays, money gets tight however November appears to be taken care of. To all those that have donated, Thank you for your donations!. Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page

Biden Poised for 270; LGBT Cliffhangers and Winners
By Lisa Keen
Washington — President Trump made a shaky pitch at 2:30 Wednesday morning that he should be declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election and said he would be “going to the U.S. Supreme Court” to make it so. But standing in the way of his plan was the fact that Democratic challenger Joe Biden had more electoral votes and that vote counts in Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada favored Biden. Those four states hold exactly the number of electoral votes Biden needs to win, legitimately. (More)

Nevada Voters Overturn Ban on Same-Sex Marriage
By Kevin Schattenkirk
Nevada — Question 2, which repeals the ban and now defines marriage as between couples, regardless of gender, also allows clergy and religious organizations the right to refuse to preside over such marriages, passed with a 62.1% vote in favor of the repeal and 38.8% not in favor. The constitutional amendment was already rendered moot with the 2015 Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, but yesterday's vote effectively repeals the law from the books. (More)
