b"After a two month back and forth since the November 2017 off-year elections in Virginia, it appears that Republicans will retain -- if just barely -- their majority control of the Virginia House of Delegates, for now, despite Democrats across the state defeating Republicans by a 'landslide' 10% margin. The conclusion came despite a 'recount' in the 94th District finding the Democrat had won, until a court decided she hadn't, a random draw on Thursday won by the Republican to determine the winner of that court-declared tie, a second likely 'recount' to come in the same race, and a court challenge to a separate very close race in the 28th district in which at least 147 voters received the wrong ballot. Donald Trump's monumentally failed 'voter fraud' Commission, created after Trump's evidence-free assertions that millions of unlawful votes were cast against him in 2016, was disbanded, suddenly, and without notice to anyone, disbanded it entirely by Executive Order on Wednesday evening. Helmed by longtime GOP 'voter fraud' fraudster and Kansas Sec. of State Kris Kobach, the Commission was besieged with lawsuits, including by one of its own Commissioners. Democrats and voting rights advocates are rejoicing at the news, but will the dissolution of the Commission result in even more concerns for advocates of free and fair elections? Also today: The Trump Administration is preparing to game the 2020 Census (which is also an election-related issue). Desi Doyen joins us for a bone-chilling first 'Green News Report' of the year, as the Trump Administration guts even more environmental and safety regulations over the holiday, and announced a new disturbing expansion of offshore drilling to include 90 percent of federal waters."
