b"An enormous amount of news broke over the weekend and today in both the ongoing battles for citizen oversight of election results via attempted 'recounts' and forensic analysis of voting systems and results in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and in the story of the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, where thousands of native Americans have been protesting against its construction near tribal lands for months. On Sunday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers denied permission to build the pipeline under Lake Oahe, the Standing Rock's source of drinking water. Though the victory, while monumental, may be only temporary.\\xa0 At the same time, over the weekend, the corporate media was busy mis-reporting the legal maneuvers of the Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein, who dropped just one of the statewide suits demanding a PA recount in favor of a federal filing, on Constitutional grounds, for a statewide count and forensic analysis. Also on Monday, a federal court ordered Michigan to being counting ballots, after successful maneuvers by Team Trump to delay the start of that effort late last week. David Cobb, Stein's campaign manager and the Party's 2004 Presidential nominee -- who himself called for a partial statewide count of the 2004 Presidential contest in Ohio -- joins us to discuss the disposition of the ongoing counts and legal fights in all three states, and why the Green Party is demanding them. Finally, North Carolina's Republican Gov. Pat McCory has announced he is giving up his own battle for a statewide recount and has conceded to Democratic candidate Roy Cooper, becoming the first Governor to lose a re-election bid in state history."
