HAPPINESS is to have EVERYTHING you NEED,
not the NEED to have EVERYTHING.

11.07 Day after voting day.
In all it was a good day for the Democrats. Not so much for the fact that there are more Democrats in Congress, but to the fact that we now have a  check on the Executive Branch of the government.
Now I would have to go to Texas. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke was so dynamic, I thought for sure he would take Texas, but for a Democrat in a red state he did awesomely. I hope to see Beto in a couple of years for the 2020 Presidential Elections.
Next Georgia.
A statement from CNN summed it up nicely.
Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams is not conceding the Georgia governor’s race to Republican candidate Brian Kemp, arguing that the high stakes contest is too close to call. CNN has not projected a winner in the Georgia governor’s race, but Kemp is ahead in votes with 99% of precincts reporting. “I’m here tonight to tell you votes remain to be counted. There’s voices that are waiting to be heard,”

    Abrams told supporters early Wednesday morning gathered in Atlanta. In a statement provided to CNN, her campaign cited several specific reasons why she is not conceding, including that three of the state’s largest counties “have reported only a portion of the votes that were submitted by early mail” and four other large counties “have reported exactly 0 votes by mail,” according to the campaign. Together, it said, the seven counties “are expected to return a minimum of 77,000 ballots.”

He (Kemp) dismissed critics alleging that he weaponized state law to suppress the minority vote as “outside agitators.” A lawsuit filed Tuesday in a Georgia federal court by five state voters asked a judge to strip Kemp of his powers over the midterm election — including any potential runoffs.
My hopes and prayers are for Abrams, only time will determine this outcome. It’s hard to believe voter suppression would still be in our vocabulary in these modern and enlightened years. Good luck Stacey!
