Preserve America<\/a>, a super PAC that supports Trump\u2019s re-election.<\/p>\nAdelson Known for Last-Minute Political Contributions<\/h2>\n
Last month, the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan organization that follows campaign finance, speculated in an online report that the Adelsons \u201cmay pour even more money into the 2020 elections. In late October of 2016, they shelled out another $25 million in last-minute contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sheldon and Miriam Adelson already set a record for political campaign donations from individuals in a single election cycle. They gave $172.7 million, the Center for Responsive Politics reported last month.<\/p>\n
In total, the Adelsons will donate about $250 million to Trump\u2019s campaign, as well as to Republican Senate and House members and other conservative causes during this election cycle, The Guardian, <\/em>a UK-based newspaper, reported last Saturday.<\/p>\nWhen asked late Friday about possible donations from casino moguls for the Trump campaign\u2019s legal fees, Thomas E. Mann, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution think tank and a resident scholar at the Institute of Governmental Studies based at the University of California, Berkeley, declined to speculate if the Adelsons could be among the likely donors.<\/p>\n
If that money is intended to help Trump\u2019s legal challenges to the election count, it would be a very bad bet,\u201d Mann told Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nHe added that Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania will likely be called for Biden \u201ctonight or tomorrow morning.”<\/p>\n
Alito Wants Late Ballots Segregated<\/h2>\n
Late Friday, US Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito temporarily ordered any ballots received after 8 pm on Election Day in Pennsylvania be segregated, Fox News said. If they are counted, they need to be counted separately, Alito added and the Washington Post<\/em> further reported. Reponses to the order are due by Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\nFormer Vice President Joe Biden was close to declaring victory on Friday, as his Electoral College vote totals moved closer to 270, the news media reported. Trump and his allies have questioned how votes were cast and counted in multiple states.<\/p>\n
Republicans in Nevada<\/a> are challenging in court what they claim are improper votes cast in Clark County<\/a>, Nevada or elsewhere in the state. Thousands allegedly voted in Nevada while living in another state, the GOP claims. Dead people were also allegedly counted among those who cast votes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donors reportedly are getting asked to contribute $60 million or more to pay for legal challenges by Donald Trump\u2019s campaign to fight alleged \u201cirregularities\u201d in the recent vote for president.
