Hospital Scrambles To Find Patients Before Freezer Failure Ruins 830 Vaccines : Coronavirus Updates : NPR

Together hospital staff worked the phones, sent out text blasts and relied on word-of-mouth to ensure every available vaccine dose was delivered into every available arm.

Two hundred doses were immediately sent to Mendocino County Public Health, which distributed them to some of the region's most high-risk employees and citizens, including sheriff's deputies, jail staff and some jail inmates.

Another 70 doses went to two nursing homes in the area which house many of the county's most vulnerable patients. Howe added the hospital also provided nurses to administer the vaccinations.

The remaining doses were given out at emergency vaccine clinics set up at various locations manned by hospital employees or other emergency response workers from around the region.

Hawaii was the ‘Florida’ of 1960 election

Hawaii was the ‘Florida’ of 1960 election

In 1960, the Electoral College consisted of 537 members, of which Hawaii had three. The majority to win was 269 votes.

The initial results of the Nov. 8 election that year showed Vice President Richard Nixon 141 votes ahead of Sen. John Kennedy in Hawaii, and so the new state's three electoral votes were officially cast with Nixon.

The Hawaii vote, however, was so close that a recount was inevitable. Both parties made charges of voter fraud, although a court investigation later showed no evidence of tampering. Electors nationwide were scheduled to cast their ballots on ec. 19 that year, but the Hawaii recount was still under way when the date approached. Hawaii's Republican electors cast votes that day for Nixon, and one minute later, emocratic electors cast their three votes for Kennedy.

Trump Pressures Pence to Reject Electoral Votes – The New York Times

The job has occasionally been unpleasant for vice presidents. In 1961, the state of Hawaii sent two slates of electors and the vice president, Richard M. Nixon, who had just lost the election to John . Kennedy, moved to count the emocratic electors, which expanded his own margin of defeat. orty years later, Al Gore was in a similar spot, burdened with overruling objections from his fellow emocrats and declaring the victory of George W. Bush — and his own defeat — after a drawn-out lorida recount that was ended by the Supreme Court. And in 2017, Mr. Biden, then the vice president, had to reject a emocratic challenge to Mr. Trump’s victory.
