San Diego, Calif.- Another election, another Florida controversy.

Florida is on its way for a machine recount in both the Senate and gubernatorial races in Broward county.

Brenda Snipes and Broward county have had a long history of controversies involving vote counting:

IVN Author Wes Messamore and I delve into some of the biggest races that haven't been decided in the 2018 midterms, and the controversies arising that could drag these races out longer, President Donald Trump and members of the Republican Party are calling "FRAUD" in states like Arizona and Florida, where the Senate races are still too close to call:

The Arizona Senate race is a real nail biter.

Over 48 hours after the polls closed in Arizona: "Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema leads Republican Rep. Martha McSally by only a few thousand votes in a race that is too close to call."

MAINE - The race for Maine's 2nd Congressional District will be the first in the nation to be decided by ranked choice voting.

Republican US Rep. Bruce Poliquin has a slight lead over Democrat Jared Golden, but was not able to secure majority support in the first round of voting, meaning the election will come down to the second or third choices of voters who cast a ballot for one or both independent candidates in the race.

Medicare Part D beneficiaries may receive some much-needed relief on the cost of their prescription drugs starting in 2019.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions' resignation from his post this week at the behest of the president was a cherry on top of another string of wins for the marijuana legalization movement in America.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - After successfully winning reelection in the 52nd congressional district, Rep. Scott Peters joined us on Beyond The Headlines to discuss what he thinks the top priorities should be for the House after Democrats reclaimed the majority.

I asked Congressman Peters a number of pressing questions, including who should be the minority leader, will Democrats spend the next two years probing and subpoenaing the President, or will they pursue policy solutions for infrastructure, healthcare and immigration needs.

LANE COUNTY, ORE. - Voters in Lane County, Oregon may not have voted to approve STAR voting in the 2018 midterm election. However, advocates are still celebrating the world's first STAR voting campaign, and the close election to implement it.

“Almost 75,000 Lane County voters chose YES to support a fundamentally new political process,” said Co-Petitioner Mark Frohnmayer.

The New Mexico Senate Race this year was by far the best chance the Libertarian Party has ever had of getting a seat in the U.S. Congress, and in the Senate no less.

In this race the nation's third largest party, still dwarfed by the two main political parties in the United States, had a perfect storm:

A highly credible candidate, with nearly universal name recognition in his state, and a record of actually winning statewide election twice– to New Mexico's governor's office– before stepping aside in accordance with the term limits in New Mexico's constitution.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - The general election in the heavily Democratic California State Senate District 22 (Industry, West Covina) came down two Democrats Tuesday, Susan Rubio and former State Assemblymember Mike Eng. Yet it wasn't the Democratic Party's pick that ended up winning the election.

Rubio, seen as a more independent-minded Democrat, defeated Eng 52-47. Rubio had the endorsement of several current and former elected officials (at the local and state level), nonprofit organizations, public safety associations, women’s groups, and more.
