South Dakota governor spars with George Stephanopoulos

after she insisted on debunked claim that 'dead people voted in Pennsylvania'

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Sunday sparred with ABC News journalist George Stephanopoulos over the results of the presidential election, with the governor saying that "illegal activities" may have aided President-elect Joe Biden at the ballot box.

On ABC's "This Week," Stephanopoulos began the conversation by asking Noem if she would work with Biden to fight against the coronavirus in her state, which has had one of the worst rates of deaths per capita in the country for several weeks.

Noem insisted that it was too early to declare Biden as the president-elect.

"This is a premature conversation because we have not finished counting votes," she said.

Palin did not seem as fast on her feet as Noem, but I have no idea how they compare in terms of intelligence or education.

I can easily see her being the VP nominee in 2024. OH yea, you're loathsome Gov. Noem and dead wrong about COVID-19. Such callousness towards the infected and dying in your state.

In the past week in South Dakota...

New daily reported cases rose 4.4%
New daily reported deaths rose 55.6%
Covid-related hospitalizations rose 40.8% Read more
Among reported tests, the positivity rate was 54.3%.

The number of tests reported fell 8.4% from the previous week
