Nevada court dismisses Trump campaign election suit
Dec. 7 - A Nevada court Friday dismissed with prejudice a Trump campaign election contest lawsuit. In the suit, the president’s legal team alleged voter fraud in mail-in ballots, voter irregularities in provisional ballots, machine signature matching errors, in-person voter fraud and denial of legal voters, double voting, voter impersonation, late counted ballots, failures in voter roll maintenance, and improper Postal Service ballot delivery. Additionally, the legal team alleged that Nevada’s vote count and observation process itself was flawed and threatened election integrity. Outside of allegations over the election process, the legal team additionally accused the Biden campaign of giving voters monetary incentives to vote for Joe Biden and of filling out fraudulent ballots behind a Biden-Harris campaign bus.
The court dismissed the case because it found that the Trump legal team had failed to meet the requisite burden of proof:
Although Nevada has not addressed this issue, the Court believes that Contestants need to prove the ground for their contest by clear and convincing evidence. This higher standard of proof is appropriate in election contests because it “adequately balances the conflicting interests in preserving the integrity of the lection and avoiding unnecessary disenfranchisement of qualified absentee voters.”…However, even if preponderance of the evidence standard was used, the Court concludes that Contestant’s claims fail on the merits there under or under any standard…Contestants’ evidence does not establish by clear and convincing proof, or under any standard of evidence, that “there was a malfunction of any voting device or electronic tabulator, counting device or computer in a manner sufficient to raise reasonable doubt as to the outcome of the election.”…Contestants did not prove under any standard of proof that the Agilis machine malfunctioned…Contestants did not prove under any standard of proof that illegal votes were cast and counted, or legal votes were not counted at all, due to voter fraud, nor in an amount equal to or greater than 33,596, or otherwise in an amount sufficient to raise reasonable doubt as to the outcome of the election.
The Nevada court’s decision follows a series of cases over the election results and the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s refusal Thursday to hear a Trump campaign election challenge. source

FCC chairman admits that he wants to block Biden from changing anything
Dec. 7 - In a recent interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox Business, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, said it would be “valuable” for Senate Republicans to block President-elect Joe Biden from appointing a new FCC chairperson. That way, the GOP can “forestall” Biden’s agenda in the agency, including restoring net neutrality so that corporations can’t charge companies for an equal presence on the internet.
In short, if Republicans win Georgia’s runoff elections on January 5, they could stall a vote for Biden’s new pick for the FCC head. If this happens, Biden won’t be able to seat someone to help implement his agenda.
“But I think it would be very valuable to … help forestall what really would be billions of dollars worth of economic damage that I think a Democrat FCC would look to jam through from day one in January or February,” Carr said. source

Here's what police chiefs think Biden should do to help address issues with law enforcement
Dec. 8, (CNN) - Police chiefs across the country are hoping President-elect Joe Biden's incoming administration will help them address a crisis of legitimacy and focus on reform measures after a string of high-profile shootings by police officers and subsequent protests roiled the nation this summer.
A survey of almost 400 police chiefs, administered by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), asked law enforcement leaders across the country to identify priorities for the incoming administration. The top two results: Increasing public trust and addressing the call for reform.
Biden identified police reform as a priority of his racial equity agenda following a summer of unrest in cities across the country. The protests were prompted by the death of George Floyd in May, who died after a now-fired member of the Minneapolis Police Department knelt on his neck during an arrest.It's not clear what Biden will be able to accomplish, and the makeup of the US Senate is contingent on special election results in Georgia. Biden's transition team met with the Fraternal Order of Police in November, and has met with other groups representing law enforcement since.
The chiefs, surveyed at the end of November, were asked to identify three policing issues in greatest need of addressing.
A clear majority said they hope the Biden administration will help increase trust in police, with 76% calling it a priority, and 57% wanting to address calls for police reform.
Fewer than half of respondents -- 43% -- said crime reduction was among their top three priorities for next year. more details
