the state of Tennessee did everything possible to keep Justin Pearson down and after all that he only lost by 1.5% he will be fucking back - @ilikebluethings.bsky.social 4 Nov, 10:03 AM PKT
I don't think this is accurate. Pearson is down to Taylor, but by 1.1%, with a bunch of Memphis left. Think this is based on old results. - @maxberger.bsky.social 4 Nov, 9:21 AM PKT
Ah shit, more results have come in and Pearson is down now.

How do I find my course in MyLab if it is not showing after I sign in?
The course may be tied to a second Pearson account made with a different email address. Sign out and try signing in with your other email addresses. Also check that your temporary access has not expired, since the course hides when it ends.
