SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The U.S. territory of Puerto Rico has yet to produce a certified vote tally for a single district almost a month after holding historic general elections. Then on Wednesday, a judge issued a ruling that sparked an outcry and threatened to further delay the certification process as the Jan. 2 swearing in looms. The judge, in response to a lawsuit, ordered Puerto Rico’s State Elections Commission to count early votes following ID verification even if the postal address used to request those votes is different from the one in the general voter registration. “Contrary to what some actors in our society may have encouraged in public opinion, our legal framework in electoral matters is covered with guarantees of reliability, which leave no room for speculation or doubts about the validity of early votes,” Judge Raúl A. Candelario López wrote. The Nov. 21 lawsuit was filed by a dozen voters affiliated with the pro-statehood New Progressive Party, which won the gubernatorial race, according to preliminary results. The ruling noted that those voters alleged “their rights are being violated since they requested early voting, complied with all the requirements for it, and their votes are being subject to additional requirements without any legal basis.” The judge’s decision angered many including Karla Angleró, electoral commissioner for the opposing Popular Democratic Party, one of Puerto Rico’s two main parties, She said the party would appeal Wednesday’s ruling. In September, Angleró and electoral commissioners from other parties agreed that if they uncovered addresses that didn’t match, officials would call people to confirm that they indeed requested an early vote to prevent any fraud. Angleró and other commissioners had recently requested that the elections commission investigate how more than 40 ballots with different residential addresses were requested from the same P.O. box in the southern coastal town of Santa Isabel. “We’ve been waiting for weeks,” she told reporters on Wednesday of the investigation. Judicial officials already are investigating allegations made before Nov. 2 about electoral crimes including people who said they received confirmations for early voting when they had made no such request. As those investigations continue, workers are certifying ballots with the aim to finish by Dec. 20 or 22, according to Jessika Padilla, alternate president for the elections commission. The aim was to finalize the district of the capital of San Juan on Wednesday, but that was pushed back to Sunday, she told reporters. Numerous obstacles have delayed the certification process, including an increase in write-in votes and a flurry of errors detected in bedside ballots, prompting all electoral commissioners to agree to start counting more than 60,000 such votes from scratch. The delay prompted electoral commissioners last week to temporarily halt the counting of ballots cast in a nonbinding referendum also held Nov. 2 on Puerto Rico’s political status so they could focus on election ballots. Local law dictates that the certification process must be completed by Dec. 31.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian have completed seven years of marriage. The power couple has a happy life in LA, being passionate parents and co-investors. Among other roles, Ohanian has also become a social media influencer after his success with Reddit. He took to the SPolitics Podcast to talk about what makes both of them special. The interviewer, Jemele Hill, asked Ohanian deliberately about the things he is better at than Serena since it ‘ticks her off’. In response, the first thing he could think of was art. Ohanian can come up with good drawings and paintings for his daughters by just seeing a YouTube video. Ohanian moved on to brag about his cooking skills. He clarified that Serena is very good at baking. But overall in cooking, he thinks he is better even though he knows Serena ‘will contest that claim’. The third skill was even more hilarious. Ohanian believes that ‘video games’ are indeed a skill to master. The way he played them with the ‘jump shots’ and all, he is right up there in their house as compared to Serena. In fact, in his Instagram post, while sharing that particular cut, Ohanian teased Serena by mentioning that she is the best at tennis, but in everything else, he is. Serena and Ohanian banter a lot with each other, showing the kind of bond they have. Not long ago, they came together for a content segment with Lingo, the healthcare app in which both of them are brand ambassadors, and shared a lot about each other. Serena and Ohanian did not get off on the right foot in their relationship Ohanian kickstarted the “SpikeSessions” episode by asking Serena if she remembered what their first meal together was. Just before the video revealed that the two shared a Poulet roti frites together, Serena justified why she brought her agent and assistant along with her – she was unsure about Ohanian. In another podcast, Ohanian spoke about the time when he and Serena were just friends, and the tennis legend offered him some free coaching lessons — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, indeed. But Ohanian, who wasn’t exactly a tennis fan at the time, turned her down! Serena was stunned, and it almost put a strain on their budding friendship. Reflecting on it now, Ohanian couldn’t help but laugh at himself for making what he calls a “historic blunder.” He joked that he might be the only person in the world to have ever refused free tennis lessons from Serena Williams herself.The 32-year-old woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, had visited a popular nail salon for a gel manicure.

Barkley floated his idea during an appearance on the recent The Steam Room podcast he co-hosts with Ernie Johnson. He also discussed the presidential campaign idea during his discussion with former Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Brobible reported. The former Shark Tank star enthusiastically proposed the idea and insisted, “Yes, absolutely. We would win running away. No question about it.” “We’d win. We’d definitely win,” Barkley replied. Barkley endorsed Kamala Harris’ disastrous bid for the White House, and Cuban faced mountains of criticism for his blind support of both Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris during the 2024 campaign cycle. Cuban took a lot of heat during the last days of the campaign for claiming in a post an X that “strong and intelligent women” didn’t support Donald Trump. The billionaire tried several times to defend himself after being hit with a massive backlash for saying female Trump supporters are weak and stupid. But he ended up apologizing for the slight. Cuban, reportedly worth $5.7 billion, was so embarrassed by his support of Harris that after she lost, he systematically deleted his posts on X in support of her campaign. Back in 2019, Cuban had briefly floated the idea that he might also run for president. Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: facebook.com/Warner.Todd.Huston , or Truth Social @WarnerToddHuston
