    According to Pennsylvania record, 250,780 registered Dems requested but didn't return absentee ballots, compared to 167,470 Republicans. Like every election conspiracy theory, this is explainable unless you're dishonest.

    “According to Pennsylvania state data for early and absentee ballot requests, there are roughly 165,000 ballots requested in the names of registered GOP voters that had not been counted as of Nov. 16.”

    Astonishing story out of DC - 450 kids with disabilities were back in classrooms today, supervised mostly by non-unionized staff who typically work in afterschool. No teachers (who are higher paid, with more job protections) were in the buildings.

    While NYC is closing, D.C. Public Schools formally reopened school buildings today for the first time since March so students w/ high needs can do distance learning in classrooms. 450 students. 25 campuses. Zero teachers. 100+ support staff.
