It’s worth taking a moment to read Politico’s latest deep dive into the state of Michigan’s Nov. 3, 2020 General Election controversy. In the end, one Republican lawyer’s decision to simply stick to the law as it is written cemented Michigan’s election outcome, upholding more than five million votes in a record-breaking year for the state’s voter turnout.

From NRA via CNN(CNN) - The National Rifle Association is beating back a new round of criticism from some of its own board members. In a letter to NRA leadership Monday, four board members called for an "outside professional to conduct an independent, internal investigation and confidential audit into the allegations of financial misconduct." They want both issues investigated by an outside committee that will report its findings to the full NRA board. Outside counsel for the NRA confirmed the gun rights group received the letter and provided a series of written statements from NRA leadership, dismissing the board members' concerns. But NRA members have also raised red flags about some of the gun rights group's expenses.
