In this episode of Ford News, Johnathan and Brian start by discussing the Mark Robinson scandal. The Lt. Governor of North Carolina, known for his extreme views, and way-out-of-the-mainstream musings, is alleged to have been into all sorts of kinky things and expressed them on a website called 'Nude Africa.' Normally, we here at Ford News would have no issue with Mr. Robinson's supposed love of things like Transgender Porn, but when he has been spewing hatred out of his mouth for years, the hypocrisy is overwhelming. Also, there's a possibility he slept with his wife's sister! By the way, he also referred to himself as a "Black Nazi," so that's fun! 

In segment two, we take a trip out to Johnathan's neck of the woods in Omaha, NE to discuss the unique way that the state of Nebraska awards its electors. We discuss a scenario where the one elector representing the Omaha area, which is blue, could turn the election one way or another. The GOP is trying to rework the way Nebraska does this. No surprise here. 

Finally, in the Ford Fact Check, Johnathan discusses the new vote-counting rules down in Georgia. What does it mean to hand-count votes? 

Oh, and Johnathan makes some BOLD election predictions!
