Former president Donald Trump spoke by phone this week with a Nebraska state senator as part of a last-minute push to change how the state allocates its electoral votes and block the easiest path Vice President Kamala Harris has to win the White House. State Sen. Merv Riepe (R) said he spoke briefly by phone with Trump Wednesday in the ...
The Republican Party is apparently stuck with Mark Robinson. Some Republicans and people working on behalf of Donald Trump’s campaign pushed Thursday for the North Carolina lieutenant governor to drop out of the governor’s race there amid ugly allegations about decade-old posts on a pornographic website, but Robinson has not done so. The deadline passed at midnight for the party ...

ATLANTA — The Georgia State Election Board approved a rule Friday requiring counties in the critical presidential battleground to hand-count all ballots this year, potentially upending the November election by delaying reporting of results by weeks if not months.

One of the least credible ways in which North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) attempted to dismiss Thursday’s report about wildly offensive comments he made on the message board of a pornographic site years ago was that it didn’t sound like him. “This is not my voice,” he told CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski, whose team uncovered the comments. “These are ...
Democrats hope that the scandal enveloping Mark Robinson, the GOP pick for governor in North Carolina, could not only derail Robinson’s own campaign but also hurt Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the critical battleground state.
