Feinstein Not Seeking Top Democrat Position on Senate Judiciary Committee, Durbin Plans to Run

[…]

The 87-year-old congresswoman announced, “After serving as the lead Democrat on the Judiciary Committee for four years, I will not seek the chairmanship or ranking member position in the next Congress.”

In late October, Feinstein faced backlash from Democrats when she praise Republicans for their organization of the hearings with Judge Amy Coney Barrett, the then-Supreme Court nominee.

The hearings ended on Oct. 15, upon which Feinstein hugged Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the chair of the Judiciary Committee, and praised him for “one of the best set of hearings that I have participated in.”

“I want to thank you for your fairness and the opportunity of going back and forth. It leaves one with a lot of hopes, a lot of questions and even some ideas—perhaps some good bipartisan legislation we can put together to make this great country even better,” she told Graham on Oct. 15.

Signature Matching in Georgia Recount Can’t Be Done, Says Secretary of State

Georgia’s secretary of state said Monday that signature matching will not be possible for the state’s third count of votes set to begin Tuesday morning amid demands from the Trump campaign and Republicans to “conduct an honest recount.”

The office of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has repeatedly asserted that at this point in the process, signature matching is impossible because of state election rules designed to protect voter privacy. After initial verification, ballots in the state are separated from their envelopes, where the signatures are located. Raffensperger’s office has said this makes it impossible to reconnect the two after ballots are counted while the Trump campaign has alleged a lack of due process during the initial count, citing instances of voter irregularities, issues with voting machines, and poll watcher access.

“President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature-matching and other vital safeguards,” Trump’s legal team said in a statement Saturday. “Without signature-matching, this recount would be a sham and again allow for illegal votes to be counted.”

“If there is no signature-matching, this would be as phony as the initial vote count and recount. Let’s stop giving the people false results. There must be a time when we stop counting illegal ballots. Hopefully it’s coming soon,” the statement continued.

[…]

Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting system implementation manager, said during a press briefing on Monday that there is no legal process in place in the state to allow signature verification as part of the recount.

“There’s no way to match [the ballot] back. The only remedy would be to throw out all absentee ballots … in a particular county,” Sterling told reporters. “I don’t think there’s a judge in the land that would throw out all those legally cast votes if there’s proof of a handful of illegally cast ones potentially, which, again, we’ve seen no proof or evidence that actually exists.”

Trump Vows to Win Re-Election After GSA Makes Transition Resources Available to Biden

President Donald Trump said on Monday that he will win the 2020 presidential election after the General Services Administration (GSA) indicated that it has made transition resources available for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good fight, and I believe we will prevail!” he wrote in a Twitter post.

Trump’s announcement follows a letter that GSA Administrator Emily Murphy sent to Biden (pdf), where she notified the former vice president that some transition resources, including $6,300,000 for the Biden transition team to carry out the provisions of Section 3 of the Presidential Transition Act and another $1,000,000 for the Biden team to provide appointee orientation sessions and a transition directory, are now made available for him and his team.

[…]

In her letter, Murphy explicitly stated that the presidency has not been decided.

“GSA does not dictate the outcome of legal disputes and recounts, nor does it determine whether such proceedings are reasonable or justified,” she wrote. “The actual winner of the presidential election will be determined by the electoral process detailed in the Constitution.”

[…]

Trump praised Murphy for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to the country.

“I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has been harassed, threatened, and abused—and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA,” the president wrote.

The president took to social media again late Monday, writing, “What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history? We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & ‘Dominion.'”
