Talarico spokesperson confirmed Talarico had the flu.
The hospital Talarico was accused of being at later confirmed the progressive lawmaker had never received treatment from the facility.
This should be an interesting election. I hope Democrats get out the vote so there will be no question as to who won. Although, if AI hacks the votes we're in big trouble. On the other hand, it is my understanding voting computers have no access to the Internet, thus can't be hacked?
