'd includes the freedom of religion as well. and so the roman catholic diocese, but also orthodox jewish organizations, took new york state to court to say this is not the sort of thing you should be doing. the court, in a surprise, 54 decision decided that's exactly right. and said that new york can't impose these restrictions on places of worship. what was surprising of course, is that john roberts, who is the chief justice nominated by a republican president. he, he sided with the liberal wing of the supreme court, essentially saying look, this is not something we need to be concerning yourself with at the moment we need to see how this plays out. but 5, all of the justices more conservative. nature said no, no,

alan fisher is live from the white house is so, i mean, allan, you know, it is looking increasingly more like the trump campaign really doesn't have a leg to stand on in many ways, but they're still pursuing any avenue they can. they're running out of road. i mean, georgia is a prime example, the results no being verified in the last couple of minutes. but of course, the term campaign says that they will be a lawyer in court action at some point on friday. they have 2 days as well. to ask for a further recount, which could delay the whole confirmation all the way through to december, the fyrst i don't trump has been speaking in the last couple of hours, making his 2nd appearance in front of the cameras since election night. he said that he won the election and when he was talking about prescription drug prices, how big pharma spent millions to try and stop them. how the media tried to stop them. there was a lot of people reigned against him, but he says he still won. and he says he'll be able to prove that. i know, of course, he's meeting with the lawmakers from michigan, one of whom, a

florida tonight shall is fine developments in biden's home state of delaware but let us start with alan fisher who is covering all of this from washington d.c. alan let's start with that demand for a recount in wisconsin just explain that to us is there a margin within which you know each side becomes eligible to request the required tool does it have to provide some sort of justification i mean how does it all work . well wisconsin confirmed in the last so that they've counted all the ballots and joe biden had a lead of around $20000.00 votes that's within the one percent margin of error therefore the trump campaign absolutely within their rights to demand a recount and that's exactly what they've done so they may not be that the whole state has to recurrent it may just be certain counties have to recount but they will go back through every single those ballots that are earmarked and hopefully we'll get a result at some point today possibly to morrow if you add into the fact that georgia see that they won't be completed counting their ballots until friday it's possible michigan might be in th

incompetence are fully investigated to the fully fullest extent allowed under the law let's go live now to alan fisher is following all this from washington and it looks increasingly like likely alan based on these projections and the results that we have the democrats will be back in the white house but the president won't concede if and when that time comes. it's going to take a while simply because you can see that both through mcdaniel and also president trump are digging in for the long haul with him saying you would go to the supreme court and run a mcdaniel essentially appealing to the president by having a few old favorites the media the rush of hawks talking about transparency i don't trump himself in the last few hours has issued a statement let me try and sum up for you he said that he believes the american people deserve full transparency so that they can see integrity in the entire election process not just this election he said all legal ballots must be counted and he said they're meeting resistance from democrats to do that and then he said they will pursue every aspect through the cour
