States two largest democratic counties there. Kristin fisher is following it from the white house this morning. Kristin, what is the chance that were going to see the president today . Good morning. Good morning. As of now, there are no Public Events on his calendar. Thats the 12th time, the 12th day this has happened since the election. But it does sound like were going to hear from the president s legal team. The president tweeted about an hour ago that quote an Important NewsConference Today by lawyers on a very clear and viable path to victory. The fact remains that his legal team has yet to provide evidence of voter fraud or irregularities to overturn the election. In wisconsin the Trump Campaign has paid about 3 million for recounts in two counties in that state. Then in wisconsin michigan youve got two republicans on an election board in wayne county who now want to take back their votes which certified the results of the november 3 election. The woman you heard from in the introclaims she was threatened. You have William Hartman who put out a Statement Last night that reads i was enticed to agree to certify based on the premise an audit would take place. I wouldnt have agreed to the certification if not for the promise of an audit. Michigans secretary of state responded to their initial complaints late tuesday night before those statements that i just read to you came out. Listen here. I was very disappointed but sadly given the partisan rancor i was not surprised. We have seen multiple attempts to try to disenfranchise and undermine the will of our voters throughout the election cycle since the American People have spoken, we still see these attempts to misinform or confuse about the validity of the results. It is an extension of that. The Trump Campaigns legal challenges overall have largely fallen by the wayside. In pennsylvania you may remember the state Supreme Court ruled that the city of philadelphia did not break the law in terms of how close those poll observers were allowed to get to ballots. In arizona last week you had one of the Trump Campaigns own attorneys essentially saying that the fraud out there was that they were claiming was not fraud but goodfaith errors. It remains to be seen what types of evidence may be presented at this press conference at noon today, sandra. But so far what has been presented to this point not enough to overturn the outcome of the election. Sandra well see whats presented at the News Conference at noon eastern time today. Kristin fisher at the white house, thank you. Trace the recount, the hand recount in georgia is now finished. The audit discovering a total nearly 6,000 ballots that were not counted. Discrepancies cropping up in four counties. Slightly narrowing president elect bidens margin of victory but not expected to change the outcome. We expect the final results later today. More on this coming up with georgias top election official gabriel sterling. Sandra we look forward to that. Top House Republicans are demanding an investigation into the integrity of the 2020 election. Ranking member jim jar done and house oversite Ranking MemberJames Company march calling for immediate hearings. Why dont democrats want to get to the bottom of all the irregularities and problems we saw . We first called for an investigation today. Sent a letter to mr. Nadler and chairwoman maloney. Why dont you guys investigate . The fundamental question. Sandra he also says oversight is needed to insure americans have faith in the voting system. The Top Democrats on the judiciary and oversight committees jerry nadler and Carolyn Maloney did not immediately respond to a request from fox news for comment. Trace now to another major story. The nations Largest School system goes fully remote today because of a rise in covid cases. Mayor bill deblasio made the announcement to close new York City Schools moments after Governor Cuomo got into a shouting match with reporters about the issue. What are you talking . What are you talking about . You are now going to override we did it already thats the law. Orange zone and a red zone. Follow the facts. Im so confused. Then you are confused. I tell you what you need. Parents are still confused as well. They arent confused, youre confused. , no i think parents are confused as well. Read the law and you wont be confused. The front page of todays New York Post reads no class. David lee miller is following this for us live in new york and david lee, good morning to you. How are parents adapting to this . Trace, there is both confusion and a great deal of anger over the decision to close new York City Schools. This as the governor meanwhile is saying there is the possibility that there could be what he termed a spike in the number of cases. The decision to close schools was based on city, not state metrics, which have slightly different infection rates. Announcement came late in the day leaving many parents unprepared for what to do with their kids. We should point out up until today there was hybrid learning taking place meaning many kids learned in the classroom, many also learned online. Today, though, all schools are shut. Later this morning parents will try to present the mayor with a petition calling on schools to remain open. Meanwhile the governor warned as cases increase that new york city could be branded an orange zone, more restrictions in place. More than a quarter million americans have died from the virus. More than 11 million are testing positive. Minnesota starting tomorrow bars and restaurants close, hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of Covid Patients. This is a day and at a point in this pandemic we hoped would never happen but we prepared for it. In kentucky new Health Measures go into effect. No more private dining and private gatherings will be limited to eight people. In kansas the democratic governor there laura kelly at odds with republican lawmakers say a mask mandate will take effect. It gives local communities a week to come up with a local ordinance. Another vaccine could soon be on the way. Latest test results show that a serum being developed in the u. K. By astrazeneca is especially effective in treating older people and they are among those who are most vulnerable to the virus. Trace. Trace there is a bit of good news. David lee in new york. Sandra joining us for more on the School Shutdown in new york city miranda devine. The cover of the New York Post. Here it is, no class is the headline this morning. Clueless cuomo and deblasio close schools hurting kids and parents. You watched that News Conference yesterday, miranda and you see the governor and the way he responded to fair questions coming from that wall street journal reporter, parents are confused. What is happening here, miranda . Well, unfortunately new york is saddled with two extremely bad leaders. We put the dunce cap on both of theme and they deserve it. The way theyve handled this pandemic from the beginning has been appalling. The nursing home deaths that the governor presided over are a terrible blight on this state. Now to be closing schools based on no science, it is just at a 3 case rate, not positive rate, not death rate, 3 case rate when even the World Health Organization says you dont have to do anything until 5 is simply caving into the Teachers Unions because when the schools initially opened late, that was the deal that was struck with the Teachers Union by the city. And they said as soon as the case rate goes to 3 what are parents meant to do and children meant to do . The harm to children is incall cue able. The risk to them is minuscule. Absolutely tiny. We know the numbers now. We know the numbers better than we did at the beginning of the pandemic back in march. We know that children are damaged by not going to school. Why do this to them again . It is so cruel. The poor parents who just the ones who have to go out and work, what are they meant to do . Sandra not to mention science has to involve the American Pediatric Association who has not only pointed out the risks of covid19, but the risks of kids continuing to be out of school. The risk of isolation, lack of socialization. They call it a travesty. Travesty, ridiculous and cruel. Cruel to the students and their parents. Cruel to the citizenry, school is a safe place for kids and they will now be denied it. Parents, think of the parents having to scramble tomorrow. Here we are prethank giving. What are they going to do . Sandra i want to be clear. The announcement that deblasio made and how he made it. Here is the tweet. Clearly how he explained this to new York City Public School families. New york city has reached the 3 testing positive seven day average threshold. This means Public School buildings will be closed as of tomorrow, thursday, november 19th. Out of an abundance of caution. We must fight back the second wave of covid19. We should be clear nobody is questioning that there is a spike happening right now. We acknowledge there is a surge in cases happening across the country. We acknowledge the need to be safe, to social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands. Where is the evidence that kids are spreading this virus when they are in School Wearing a mask, sitting behind plexiglas, social distanced . There is no evidence. Other countries in the world children are going to school even when they have a higher case rate. Catholic children in new york, they get to go to school. They get to do inperson classes. Were not seeing a problem with that. It is pure and simple a cave to the power of the Teachers Union. You can see who is in charge of new York City Schools. It is not mayor deblasio or Governor Cuomo, it is the teacher unions which are militant. Which didnt want to open up and do their job in the beginning. And it shows that their care is not for the children that they supposedly are looking after and teaching. Their care is simply for themselves and for exerting power to get what they want. And you know, you see that Governor Cuomo during the pandemic he paid more attention to the lobbyists for the hospitals than he did for concern for the people of new york. I think this is going to be the last straw. I dont know how parents cope. It really is im glad i dont have School Age Children at school at the moment. Sandra it is tough. This is the American Pediatric Association on the risks, as i mentioned, of kids not being in school. They have a multipage form you can print out yourself. I did this morning and dig through. The warnings that they have for keeping kids out of the classroom. Included is lack of Computer Internet connection. School meals and Food Security for families at risk. Very important for new york city. Students may face difficulty reentry once they get back in skoo. And they point to the growing gap of systemic racial inequity. Very important. Pew Research SaysSchool Age Children lacking the connectivity to get schoolwork done is more with black households. Cuomo blames people. If you socially distanced and wore a mask and you were smart none of this would be a problem. It is all selfimposed. It is all selfimposed. If you didnt eat the cheesecake you wouldnt have a weight problem. Sandra i have the leave it here. Thats a tough one to hear right now. City speak, really is. Sandra appreciate your time. Trace a fine dining debacle forcing california Governor Newsom to do a bit of damage control. The spirit of what im preaching all the time was contradicted and i have to own that. I want to apologize to you. Trace he was caught breaking his own coronavirus rules. Not the only public official doing it. Mike huckabee is here to react on that next. After the president ial recount turned up thousands of uncounted ballots will georgia be ready for the Senate Runoffs . Youre not verifying signatures . If you are following the rules of Stacey Abrams . How good is your recount. Since pioneering the suv in 1935, the chevy suburban has carried many things. Nothing more important than family. Introducing the most versatile and advanced chevy suburban and tahoe ever. If youre not verifying signatures and following the rules of Stacey Abrams, who refused to concede, who still thinks she is the governor of georgia, how good is your recount . A recount which as you noted found three tron muchs of ballots undiscovered that happened to favor Donald Trumps chances and increase his vote total . How good is that recount has the president has noted . Sandra georgia still under scrutiny after two more counties found uncounted ballots in the final hours of audit. The state prepares for two runoff elections that will determine control of the u. S. Senate. Here to talk about it is gabriel sterling, election implementation manager for the state of georgia. Weve seen you a lot throughout this process speaking on behalf of the secretary of state. Held News Conferences and giving updates. What the update from you this morning in that state . Right now were still looking good on meeting our goal of having the report out of the audit. Almost all the counties got done at 10 30 last night. They found a batch they hadnt counted in cobb county that theyll count this morning. Most of the things were very tight on it. The good part was the audit did its job and found the votes. The last bit of votes we found went the other way, 28 more votes for former President Biden 12,781 by our tally is the count now. Sandra there is another batch of votes found in cobb county overnight is what you are reporting. Not exactly. They had more to audit. Not new ballots. Ballots that werent reported yet. Sandra got it. Kayleigh mcenany you would say what, how good is that recount as the president has noted . How do you respond . The recount is going great. It is tracking exactly right. What they are focusing on is something we have no evidence of, something about signature match. There is a wild mischaracterization. The Settlement Agreement we reached to stop that what we did in this state we won every lawsuit that democrats tried to do to weaken the election time. Extension of allowing absentee ballots a lower court did that like it did in pennsylvania. We won the 11th circuit. This office was doing everything we could to follow our laws in the state. As it looks right now we have two senators in a runoff and President Trump may have come up short. We dont want to say that until were done with the audit. It looks like it is going that way. There is confusion and we understand people are upset who cant believe this happened. Our job is to follow the law and follow the process. As ive said over and over this is about process, process, process. Sandra one of those outraged is senator Lindsey Graham. You heard from him a moment ago. Here he is and ill get you to respond. This is a big deal. Liberals dont want me talking about it. Nobody wants me to ask about. They are trying to shut me down. They are trying to get trump to concede. They dont want any court cases. When Stacey Abrams challenged the results of georgia she was an american hero, when donald trump is going to court, he is a dictator. Im tired of this crap. Were going to fight back in georgia and fight back everywhere. Sandra you hear the outrage from him based on what you are seeing and based on the ongoing recount, is he along with other republicans supporting the president and the president when himself still within their rights and is it still realistic that they continue to push and challenge the outcome of the results in your state . As we have said were a nation of laws, not of men and what specifically this office has said if you have a specific challenge, you have the courts available to you. There is one case left, a hearing at 3 00 today on some of the things in that question. Bring the evidence forward and let the Due Process Rights be gone through. After its certified do an election challenge. After we do the hand tally it looks like the president will be within the right percentage point they can call for a full recounts. Were all about the process and law. They have every right to look out for the 73 million americans would supported donald trump. I understand there are people who its why were doing a hand tally to show the machines counted what they counted and what the ballots say. Having this voter artifact for the first time in 20 years in georgia should give people the level of conference no matter what side of the aisle. When Stacey Abrams didnt concede it jubds mind the system. If donald trump comes up short in georgia hopefully he will see the result is the result. The question from either side undermines democracy. One side loses and wins they accept it.
