Dominion executive accused of bias against Trump

 Matt Margolis:

CLAIM: Dominion Exec Bragged That He Made Sure 'Trump Is Not Gonna Win' on Conference Call

...

 According to Oltmanna, someone on the call asked, “What are we gonna do if f***ing Trump wins?”

Oltmann paraphrased Coomer’s alleged response:  “Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f***ing sure of that!”

Snopes currently rates these allegations as “unproven,” explaining that they “don’t know whether Oltmann’s allegations against Coomer are accurate or not.” Evidence presented by Oltmann so far, such as social media posts allegedly belonging to Coomer, do not prove or disprove the key allegation made by Oltmann—that Coomer bragged about rigging the election. Snopes concedes that despite this, it  “doesn’t necessarily mean Oltmann’s claim is false, it just means it is so far not supported by any publicly available evidence beyond his verbal account.” However, Snopes does add yet another caveat: “It’s also not clear whether Coomer’s alleged remarks if they did take place, were made in earnest, and therefore whether they should be interpreted as proof of election meddling … even if Coomer made the comment in earnest, he might have been lying, either to impress others on the call, to exaggerate his power and influence, or for some other reason.”

... 

I am not aware that Coomer has denied the claim.  It is funny that Snopes does not report a denial.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
