In addition to the presidential and congressional races being disputed tonight, there are a number of state referenda on the ballot. Most of these are on expanded abortion. Florida is the largest state to have such an amendment on the ballot, and its failure has triggered the Regime Media. MSNBC’s Joy Reid was quick to unload on the failure of Florida’s Amendment 4, and to levy a familiar smear against Governor Ron DeSantis: JOY REID: Yeah, Ron Desantis has put everything on trying to ensure that Florida will buck the trend of every other state, including red states, that have passed the right to bodily autonomy. He’s put everything on it including, as you said, threats- whatever it takes to try to make sure that that amendment fails using the power of government that is, I would say, openly fascist and determinativ- and very determined. A quick explainer: Florida law requires that ballot initiatives clear a 60% threshold before the state constitution can be amended. This happened after simple majority passage of an amendment mandating pregnant pigs be housed in enclosures of a certain minimum size (Tim Graham and I talk about it in the latest NewsBusters Podcast).  Florida’s Amendment 4, in addition to repealing the state’s heartbeat law, would have allowed for abortions to be performed by non-doctor medical personnel, blew the limit out from 6 weeks to some ambiguous nonspecific “viability”, and would have threatened parental notification. Planned Parenthood, George Soros, and super rich liberal donors spent over $100 million dollars to ensure passage of Amendment 4. Governor Ron DeSantis acted in a manner consistent with his mandate, and marshaled resources as needed in order to fight disinformation as concerned this ballot initiative. But this is a bridge too far for the Regime Media, most of which appear to worship at the altar of Molech. Chief among them, Joy Reid who lambasted DeSantis as “fascist.” The abortion lobby will no doubt pick itself up off the mat and try again. But much to the chagrin of the media, DeSantis will have left a blueprint in place. Cry harder.  

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis — the Georgia prosecutor who brought charges against former President Donald Trump — has won her bid for re-election in overwhelming fashion.Willis — a noted Democrat incumbent — defeated Republican challenger Courtney Kramer on Tuesday. Willis easily defeated Kramer by a whopping margin of nearly 68% to 32%. Trump's lawyers have called for Willis to be removed from the case due to her seeming conflict of interest because of her 'personal relationship' with Nathan Wade.Fulton County is a Democratic stronghold that includes most of Atlanta, which has 11% of the state’s electorate.Kramer was an intern in the White House counsel’s office during the Trump presidency and is active in Republican activist organizations. Willis won her election in 2021 after defeating her former boss — District Attorney Paul Howard — in the primary. She was not challenged by a Republican in that election. Willis made a name for herself by launching an investigation into Trump. Willis' office indicted Trump and 18 co-defendants in August 2023 on felony charges related to alleged attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.Four individuals have pleaded guilty after reaching plea deals with prosecutors. Willis has weaponized racketeering, or RICO, laws, to go after Trump and his allies. Trump and the other defendants have pleaded not guilty in the case. However, Trump's lawyers have called for Willis to be removed from the case due to her seeming conflict of interest because of her "personal relationship" with Nathan Wade — a special prosecutor whom she hired. The Georgia Court of Appeals plans to hear oral arguments in the Willis case against Trump beginning on Dec. 5. Willis said she wants to serve three terms as district attorney and then move on to teaching at her undergraduate alma mater — Howard University in Washington, D.C.Like Blaze News?

President Donald Trump has won North Carolina once again, picking up the key battleground state's 16 electoral votes.Around 9:22 p.m. ET, the Decision Desk HQ called the Tar Heel state for Trump. The Associated Press subsequently called it around 11:20 p.m. ET. At the time of publication, Trump had a comfortable lead, 50.8% to 48.1% with 88% of the votes countedJill Stein of the Green Party and Libertarian Chase Oliver both failed to clinch half a percentage point.Exit polls indicated that the sexes split as expected, with 57% of men voting for Trump and 56% of women voting for Kamala Harris, reported NBC News. Trump secured roughly 61% of the white vote, 12% of the black vote, and 48% of the Hispanic vote.Trump even made history: He won Anson County, which is more than 44% black. A Republican has won that county in a presidential election only once since the 1870s.According to the Associated Press, the issues that decided the election in North Carolina were the economy, immigration, abortion, and health care, in that order.Former Obama adviser David Axelrod recently told Mike Murphy of the podcast "Hacks on Tap" that if Harris won North Carolina, Trump, who held some of his final rallies in the state, would be "in deep trouble." It appears that Harris now has major troubles of her own.Republican North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson was not so fortunate, trailing the state's Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein by roughly 13 percentage points. Republicans Brad Knott, Richard Hudson, Tim Moore, David Rouzer, Mark Harris, Pat Harrigan, Virginia Foxx, Addison McDowell, Greg Murphy, and Chuck Edwards all appear to have locked down or kept seats in the U.S. Congress.Editor's note: This article has been updated to reflect that a Republican presidential candidate has won Anson County once since the 1870s. A previous version claimed no Republican had won it since the 1870s.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Republican candidate Bernie Moreno defeated Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio Tuesday night, flipping another crucial Senate seat.Moreno won 50.5% of the vote while Moreno secured 46.1% of the vote, according to Politico. At the time of this writing, Republicans have now flipped two Senate seats, regaining their majority from the Democrats. Brown, who was first elected as one of Ohio's two senators since 2006, was projected to be the winner early on in the race. As November approached, Moreno closed in on Brown's lead and actually surpassed him in the polls by a few points. Moreno was supported by former President Donald Trump's endorsement as well as the Republican nominee's strong performance in Ohio. Moreno originally ran for Ohio Senate in 2022 but later dropped out, allowing then-Republican candidate turned Trump running mate JD Vance to secure the electoral victory. Like Blaze News?

The exceptional 6th century burial chamber of a woman discovered near the Thuringian town of Kölleda will be presented to the public on November 9th still partially encased in its massive soil block. The grave was discovered during an archaeological excavation of a 20-hectare site slated for construction. Between 2017 and 2021, the Thuringian State Office for Monument Preservation and Archaeology (TLDA) unearthed more than 3,700 archaeological objects from 4,000 years of settlement of the area. Of particular note were 17 graves dating to the 6th and 7th centuries, a transition period when the Thuringian Kingdom, which collapsed in 531, became part of the Merovingian Frankish Empire. The excavation also uncovered a settlement from the same period just 330 feet south of the burial ground. The remains of about 70 homes were unearthed. It is one of very few Merovingian villages discovered in central Germany, and the only one to be archaeologically excavated in its entirety with an associated burial ground. The burial ground was unusual in several ways. Eleven decapitated horses were buried in seven pits next to the human dead. The graves were also atypical: dug exceptionally deep and containing well-crafted wooden burial chambers with grave goods including weapons, jewelry, glass vessels from the Rhine-Main area and bronze vessels of eastern Mediterranean manufacture. The bronze vessels are rare, and have only been found in Frankish territory in the graves of the nobility. One of the burials stood out from the other 16 because it was buried 13 feet beneath the surface of the soil and had a second chamber built above it with large field stones along the edge. The presence of the second chamber prevented the burial beneath it from being looted. The depth of the burial and the second chamber also kept this highly significant grave from being destroyed when a bomb detonated over it during World War II. The entire burial chamber and surrounding earth were removed for excavation in the workshops of the TLDA. The total block removed weighed 13 tons and was 15 feet deep. It had to be encased in steel for transportation. It has been in the TLDA conservation laboratory since March of 2022, but excavation was delayed until late 2023 when specialized equipment and a new facility made it possible to handle so large a block. Various scanning methods for 3D documentation of the individual excavation phases ensured the best possible recording of the exact position of the objects in the grave pit. The skeletal material and other particularly fragile objects were already consolidated with impregnating agents during the excavation. In the next step, the grave goods complexes were removed in smaller blocks and examined using computer tomography and other analysis methods. In this way, for example, very small objects (such as pearl necklaces) could already be identified and specifically exposed by the restorers. The grave examined belonged to a woman aged around 25-30 years. The deceased had been buried with various food offerings and personal items. In particular, numerous gold and silver jewelry items as well as a chased bronze basin underline the outstanding social status of the deceased. The objects, of outstanding artistic quality, reveal far-reaching cultural relationships of members of this upper class as far as central Italy and the Mediterranean region. The public is invited to view the Lady of Kölleda grave at the TLDA restoration workshop in Weimar on Saturday. Archaeologists will explain the complex excavation and their findings thus far.
