On today's show:\xa0 In the wake of the death of George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States, it was a sign of these times that there was even a question whether the sitting U.S. president would attend Bush's memorial service.\xa0 But Donald Trump will attend, despite his many obnoxious attacks on the Bush family in recent years. We review parts of Bush Sr.'s legacy today -- without either dancing on his grave or lionizing -- particularly on the environment. Callers ring in with their own thoughts on the more unsavory parts of that legacy. Also today, several updates on recent stories, including the race for Alaska House District 1 that was tied, with control of the entire state legislature hanging in the balance, that on Monday was decided by just one vote. In Georgia, a lawsuit filed by the Democratic Party to extend the deadline for absentee ballots to be received in Tuesday's crucial midterm runoff elections was resolved in favor of voters, with the state's next Secretary of State on the line. In North Carolina, more new details on the growing GOP election fraud scandal, including the rather stunning criminal record of GOP contractor McCrae Dowless, who ran an absentee ballot campaign in NC's 9th Congressional District on behalf of GOP candidate Mark Harris. In a state where Republicans, ironically enough, have falsely claimed for years that voting restrictions are needed to deter fraud by Democrats, an investigation is uncovering inexplicable irregularities and other evidence of election fraud in the race.
