Bombshell reports coming out of Springfield, IL: The IL Supreme Court voted 6-1 stopping the full-scale statewide recount in all 102 counties effective immediately. The majority opinion ruled that the Carter campaign & their lawyers failed to provide specific evidence of illegal irregularities in several key regions of IL.
Following news of the bombshell ruling, outgoing IL Secretary of State & incoming United States Senator Alan J. Dixon (D) announced he will join IL Governor Big Jim Thompson (R) in certifying IL's 26 electoral votes to former CA Governor Ronald Reagan (R), which means in all likelihood that Ronald Wilson Reagan, the former Hollywood actor turned 33rd Governor of CA will be the 41st President of the United States come January 20th, 1981; After four years in the wilderness, GOPers are back in control of the White House.
According to ABC 17 WAND-TV Springfield, Governor Reagan appears to have narrowly won IL by less than 719 votes. With the Land of Lincoln's 26 electoral votes going into the GOP column, Reagan will win the 1980 Presidential election with 291 electoral votes defeating Vice President Jimmy Carter, who won 252 electoral votes.
