Last Wednesday, former Florida State Attorney Pam Bondi joined the group making accusations about the 2020 General Election. Ms. Bondi spoke at a press conference in Philadelphia along with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and others.
At the press conference, Bondi said, “We’ve won Pennsylvania, and we want every vote to be counted in a fair way.”
Election officials counted votes received on Election Day first and Trump led President-Elect Joe Biden, Jr., by more than 600,000 votes.
However, the margin slowly faded as election offi- cials began counting votes re- ceived during the Early Voting period and the Vote- By-Mail ballots.
Echoing allegations made by Trump, Bondi claims widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania.
However, amid the law- suit filings and accusations,

District Judge James S. Moody, Jr., sentenced Black to 15 years in federal prison.
On the day of the home visit by his probation officer, law enforcement arrived at his apartment. Black arrived more than 30 minutes later and let police into the apart- ment he shared with his girl- friend and their two children.

She also made the accusa- tion that Trump supporters were denied the right to watch the count.
“For every vote that came in late, that was postmarked late ... that discounts every legal vote that came in. That means the good residents who are all supporting us in Pennsylvania, their votes don’t count by these fake bal- lots and that are coming in late... They’re not letting us watch the process.”

The officers found a loaded 9 mm magazine in the bedroom linen closet, and an orange pot and scale with co- caine residue.

Bethune-Cookman, Florida A&M Announce Virtual Florida Blue Florida Classic Week
ORLANDO — Bethune- Cookman University and Florida A&M University will host “Virtual Florida Blue Florida Classic Week” next week, a collection of online events celebrating both insti- tutions, their students, foot- ball teams, bands and alumni.
The week of events begins Tuesday, Nov. 17 and will in- clude a pledge drive to sup- port the HBCUs in lieu of ticket sales to the traditional in-person events.
Over the past four decades, including nearly 25 years in Central Florida, the Florida Blue Florida Classic has blossomed from a fierce local football rivalry to a na- tionally televised, must-see spectacle of HBCU culture and Black joy. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the 41st edition of
the game to fall 2021, when FAMU and B-CU both moved to the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).
To replace those lost ticket sales, FAMU and B-CU are encouraging alumni, fans and supporters around the globe to visit FloridaClas- sic.org to support these his- toric universities amid unprecedented financial hardship. A goal of 60,000 individual donations of $20 or more — equivalent to a Camping World Stadium sellout — and additional sup-
port from game sponsors would drive critical support in 2020.
During the week of Nov. 17-21 – the original date of the Florida Blue Florida Clas- sic weekend – the Consor- tium and its partners will celebrate the rivalry with a series of virtual events high- lighting the critical role HBCUs play in our commu- nity.
The weeklong slate will include appearances from the Marching “100” of Florida A&M and Marching Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman, foot- ball head coaches Terry Sims and Willie Sim- mons, alumni from both in- stitutions and other special guests. The week of events is presented with support from traditional game sponsors, including title sponsor Florida Blue.
