It took four days for The Associated Press and other media outlets to call the presidential election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Now, recounts and certification of the results will take a bit longer.With races too close to call in Arizona, Nevada and Georgia, Pennsylvania became the battleground that tipped the Electoral College count in Biden¡¯s favor Saturday afternoon.But within hours of declaring victory, President Donald Trump released a statement saying, ¡°Joe Biden has not been certified the winner of any state.¡±¡°Technically it's true. Certifying election results takes a while,¡± said Kira Lerner, the managing editor of Vote Beat, a non-partisan, non-profit covering election administration and voting.¡°Canvassing is the process of counting the ballots,¡± said Lerner. ¡°It's what election officials are doing across the country right now. They're working tirelessly, overnight in some cases, to make sure that every single vote is counted in the certification process. Each state has a different deadline.¡±Certification happens after canvassing ¨C whereby election officials verify that every single ballot was counted and there were no clerical errors. But tallying has taken longer due to record turnout and a surge in mail-in ballots.Still, six states have a deadline of within one week of the election to certify their results and have already done so. (Delaware, Virginia, Vermont, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Louisiana).In 26 states and Washington D.C., the certification deadline is between November 10 and the 30. (Wyoming, Mississippi, Florida, Massachusetts, Idaho, Arkansas, North Dakota, Georgia, Utah, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maine, Kentucky, Ohio, North Carolina, New Mexico, Minnesota, Indiana, Washington D.C., Alaska, Alabama, Nebraska, Montana, Iowa, Colorado, and Arizona).In 14 states, the certification deadline is in December. (Wisconsin, Nevada, Kansas, West Virginia, Washington, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Missouri, Maryland, and California)The remaining states don¡¯t have deadlines. (Hawaii, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Tennessee)¡°It will be some time before we can formally certify the winner of the presidential contest. But that doesn't mean that we won't know without a doubt who our president elect is, which we already do,¡± said Lerner.And then there are the recounts. In some states, they are automatically triggered when the victory falls within a razor thin margin. In Georgia, for example that¡¯s .5%.But in the majority of states, candidates, political parties and in some cases voters can request a recount.Currently, the Trump administration is calling for recounts in Wisconsin and Georgia.¡°In Wisconsin, you have two days after the winner of the race has been certified to call for a recount. In other states, like Georgia, the secretary of state has already said that he will be seeking a recount on Donald Trump's behalf.¡±Lerner says legal challenges and recounts will likely fail to change the outcome of the election. Electors will vote by mid-December and deliver to officials in Washington just before Christmas. It may take a few more weeks but experts say the official results are unlikely to be delayed. 3213

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. ¡ª Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly is pausing its trial of antibody treatment for coronavirus ¡°out of an abundance of caution.¡±It¡¯s unclear exactly what happened to prompt the company to pause its trial.¡°Safety is of the utmost importance to Lilly,¡± a statement from Eli Lilly reads. ¡°We are aware that, out of an abundance of caution, the ACTIV-3 independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) has recommended a pause in enrollment.¡±The trial, according to CNN, is a combination of two lab-engineered immune system proteins called monoclonal antibodies. It would be used to treat severely ill patients who have coronavirus.CNN said it is similar to the treatment made by Regeneron that was given to President Trump earlier this month.This story was first reported by Matt McKinney at WRTV in Indianapolis, Indiana. 839

In the South, football is king. Which makes Westlake High School, home of multiple championships and the alma mater of a former NFL MVP, royalty.Now, this powerhouse program in the Atlanta area is facing an invisible opponent: COVID-19.¡°It¡¯s completely changed the way we operate,¡± said Lions head coach Bobby May.May is following the Georgia High School Association¡¯s ever-changing game plan. Which will hopefully get his team on the field and playing underneath the lights come fall.¡°Before they workout, we take their temperatures,¡± May said of his student athletes. ¡°Right now, we are limited to groups of 20, including coaches.¡±Those coaches are required to wear masks and those groups of players are split up by positions -- and won¡¯t interact in the weight room or on the field.¡°At least the quarterbacks and receivers can be together,¡± said Lions receiver Leo Blackburn. Blackburn has earned a scholarship to play football at nearby Georgia Institute of Technology next year.Before playing on Saturday afternoons, however, he wants to end his high school career with the guys he grew up with on Friday nights.¡°This football program is like a family,¡± he said. ¡°It¡¯s more than just football.¡±Millions of high school students play football across the country. Each state has its own set of guidelines when it comes to playing and practicing during this pandemic.Blackburn¡¯s mother is a nurse fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines. So, he knows all about coronavirus concerns while watching from sidelines.¡°She has to take risks and then come home to her family just to make money,¡± he said. ¡°Just wear your mask so we can put our helmets on.¡±That decision isn¡¯t up to staff or students. At anytime, any state could call an audible and decide to keep fans out of the stands or even end the season.¡°We just hoping we have a season, period,¡± Blackburn said. ¡°We really don¡¯t care about fans, we¡¯re just trying to bring this state championship home.¡±While playing in an empty stadium doesn¡¯t bother Blackburn, a canceled season could cost communities something much more than just a game.¡°Without football in the South,¡± May said. ¡°I think we would be in a world of hurt.¡± 2180

Is there something you wish had never been invented?For a second-grader in Louisiana, it's their mother's cell phone.The student's teacher, Jen Adams Beason, posted this comment on her Facebook page, along with the child's essay.In that post, Beason revealed that four of her 21 students also said they wished cell phones had never been invented.In the essay, the student wrote, "I would say that I don't like the phone," capping off the work with a drawing of a cell phone with an "x" through it and a sad face saying, "I hate it." The image was posted on May 18 and has since been shared more than 207,000 times.As you can imagine, it's generating a strong response online."Wow. Out of the mouths of babes! We are all guilty!" wrote one person. "Truth from a second grader! This is powerful," added another.A 2017 survey reported that half of parents found using technology disrupted time with their children three or more times a day.    968

In post-Brexit Britain, trips to the European Union will get a little more expensive for millions of Brits in search of a continental break.The European Commission confirmed on Friday that UK travelers will be required fill out an online form and cough up €7 (.90) for visa-free travel, which will be valid for three years.Natasha Bertaud, a spokeswoman for the commission's President Jean-Claude Juncker, likened the "simple form" to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) scheme used by the United States -- which requires travelers to pay to apply for permission to enter the country.She also pointed out that the EU's version, called ETIAS, will be "way cheaper."But this all comes with a major caveat. If the UK crashes out of the EU with no agreement in place, Brits will be required to get a visa to travel to the EU, a commission spokeswoman told Reuters on Friday.ETIAS, which is expected to come into force in 2021, will apply to countries outside the EU whose citizens can currently travel in Europe visa free. There are currently 61 such countries, including the United States, Israel and Singapore.It will cover the so-called Schengen group of 26 European countries that share largely open land borders.The electronic visa waiver system was conceived to "identify any security or irregular migratory risks posed by visa-exempt visitors traveling to the Schengen area while at the same time facilitate crossing frontiers for the vast majority of travelers who do not pose such risks,"?according to the commission. 1554
