My latest: The Trump campaign's pressure on GA Sec. of State started in Jan., when they asked him to endorse and he declined. They didn't stop asking. In one meeting, a Trump campaign official told staffers: "We'll see how helpful you are in November." propublica.org/article/trump…
New: The Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, rejected repeated demands to endorse Trump. As the official overseeing the voting, he believed he should remain neutral. buff.ly/2IIRoOm

The state offered election information in nine languages this year. For voters, that meant new resources -- and some continued frustrations.

The Texas results are, so far, largely undisputed by either party. Both sides agree that some Texas voters were disenfranchised, though they disagree over why. buff.ly/3eLyK4v

New: The most important thing journalists can do as they think about covering and investigating government and politics in election years is to not assume any outcome. buff.ly/3p844iF
