upper chamber. the republicans come anyhow, 50 seats in the democrats, $48.00. if they win both races in georgia, the democrats will effectively gain the majority because the vice president cast the deciding vote in a tie elevation is in washington d.c. . he says, even tribes are lies and are saying there's little chance of changing the results of the election. there's a series of lawsuits moving their way through the courts, but they're simply not big enough to to justify what the republicans are saying about widespread voter fraud. for example, in arizona. there's a dispute about some ballots, in fact, 180 ballots in georgia, which will no go through a recount. there's a dispute about whether or not 53 people there should have voted. and in michigan, a judge has said to the campaign, look, if you want to bring this case, you've got to go back and refile because you don't have the right documents, you're not doing this properly. and that seems to be a recurring thing, that a lot of times when the truck campaign a raising issues in court,

the judges are simply throwing them out. now, when it comes to recounts, you would think, well that might make a difference in georgia. joe biden has got a lead there of several 1000. let's go back to wisconsin and 2016. hillary clinton was behind there. she demanded a recount. she got her rico. she got 713 more votes. in the recount. donald trump got more than 800, he extended his lead. and so in georgia, they're expecting the same thing to happen there. and the secretary of state there who is a republican who's spoken on this several times. he has said, look, there is no evidence of widespread white spread fraud in the state. so it's a difficulty for donald trump to convince people that there is a huge problem here. libya is expected to hold elections for the next 18 months after reaching a breakthrough during un backed political talks. in tunisia comes after rival factions agreed to
