b"On today's show:\\xa0 a bevy of stories, almost a month after the midterm elections, to prove that every single vote matters.\\xa0 In Alaska, which was struck by a major earthquake today, one single, currently-uncounted "mystery ballot" in a single state House race could determine control of the Alaska legislature. In Kentucky, a statehouse race that hangs on a single vote is now being contested. In Georgia, Democrats have sued to force the state to count absentee mail-in ballots that are postmarked by Election Day for two statewide runoffs, because many counties failed to send out requested vote-by-mail ballots with enough time for voters to receive and mail back their ballots by the Election Day deadline next Tuesday. The GA Sec. of State's office, incredibly, blames the delay on Democrats for trying to assure all votes were tallied from the November 6th election. In North Carolina, the mysterious 9th District US House race increasingly appears to be a GOP election fraud case \\u2013 an unlawful scheme to \\u201charvest\\u201d absentee ballots or not deliver them at all. Also today: None of the migrants who were arrested in a clash with border patrol agents (who used tear gas on women and children) on Sunday were actually charged with any crimes. Yet local news outlets at hundreds of Sinclair Broadcasting-owned television stations around the country aired a \\u201cmust-run\\u201d segment by former Trump Administration official Boris Epshteyn, now Sinclair's Chief Political Analyst, charging that the migrant caravan is an "attempted invasion of our country." PAM VOGEL of Media Matters, who has been documenting Sinclair's abuse of our public airwaves, discusses how Sinclair distanced themselves and then supported Epshteyn's commentary, and then falsely attacked Media Matters, and how they could face license renewal problems from the FCC for abusing our public airwaves with biased, false and far-right propaganda on their nearly two-hundred television stations."
