An 11point lead in the state of pennsylvania. But theres a lot of vote yet to be counted in that state and want to bring in the attorney general of that state josh shapiro joining us, i believe from philadelphia. Josh, thank you for joining us this morning. If youre not in philadelphia, i apologize for that. Tell us where things are with the count, when you expect to see more results, how the process is going. Yeah, look, george, i get it. Folks want to know. My kids jumped on me this morning, daddy, daddy, who won and my kids jumped on me too. Weve been saying for months, you know, were going to secure, protect and count every vote so we secured the vote. We protected it and now its being counted all across pennsylvania clerks from our communities are making sure that these ballots are counted. Theres still a lot of vote left. This is way too early in the process. I anticipate throughout the day today youre going to see significant numbers of votes being put into the system, so the public will be able to see those numbers change and rise and go up and down. The bottom line is, were going to make sure here in pennsylvania that we respect the will of the people. Were going to get an accurate count. Its the law. The law says count every eligible vote and thats whats happening all across pennsylvania. You heard the president threaten to go to the Supreme Court to stop the counting. Yeah, look, it doesnt work that way, george. You know, the president doesnt count these votes. The clerks in our communities count these votes. You know, these issue, the legal issues have largely been settled and now it is time to count these votes and make sure that the will of the people is heard and so were not going to let anything interfere with that process. We need to have more patience. Maybe a little more patience than my kids and your kids have and we have to make sure every eligible vote is counted. Supreme court said any ballots postmarked by election day could be counted up till friday but the Supreme Court could still invalidate that in later rulings and the challenges are out there. Well, you know, george, the Supreme Court of pennsylvania looked at that question and determined that ballots that were postmarked by election day and received up until friday at 5 00 p. M. Were valid and could be counted. On two separate occasions petitioners asked the United StatesSupreme Court to step in and overturn that or stop that, invalidate it and on two separate occasions they didnt do that there is a legal principle, i dont need to nerd out on know as the purcell principles saying matters of election law should be left to the states. Two separate occasions they didnt step n the state that is shes battles should be counted and counties are full steam ahead on counting every eligible vote and those are eligible vote. Could take days but that is okay. We just have to go through the process. Thanks for your time this morning. We move to georgia and biden hoping to turn this battleground state blue. The votes are still being counted there and t. J. Holmes joins us from atlanta with more. Good morning, t. J. Reporter hey, good morning to you, stra. You called it. A battleground state and the battle could just be beginning and let me explain why. After a relatively smooth day of voting, didnt see a lot of long lines or problems. Some of the average wait times are two, three minutes around the state but came the night and a few problems started popping up in particular at state farm arena where the hawks play, a lot of ballots were being processed. Well, we got word a pipe burst and there was a mess that needed to be cleaned up and needed to move the workers out, caused a delay and got word we wouldnt get the results last night from Fulton County. Why is Fulton County important . That is where atlanta is. Democratic stronghold and waiting on those results because with biden about 100,000 votes behind trump right now if he can make up ground in Fulton County he could get close enough to overturn and turn this red state blue and hate to mention this but Something Else to keep in mind if the margin closes enough within a half of a percentage point a candidate has the option of asking for a recount. I know who to ask about that. Ill do it now. Lets bring in georgias secretary of state brad raffensperger. I know it has been a long, long night. Early morning. Your workers, the poll workers are working around the clock. Any idea when all the votes will be counted . Were working hard on that. By midday we should be pretty much through it. Probably by the end of the day well definitely have it done. Fulton county is a little behind as you mentioned due to the problem they had at state farm with the water. And that was one. There were just a few glitches in the state. Any way in any way does that compromise the count . No, the count is secure. Were continuing to go through the process. As you mentionedless we had yesterday an average of twominute wait times. We had a successful election. Over 4. 8 million georgians voted which is also a record turnout for a president ial election. T. J. Brought up the word recount. I know you havent even completed the counting. What do you think is the probability there will be a recount . I dont get into probabilities. We just do the counting. At the end. Day but any race within a half a percent, state rep, senator, congressman or the president ial race, a candidate could ask for that within half a percent so well have to wait and see. Is there anything you could say to our viewers . Many were hoping at this point we would wake up and we would know who the next president of the United States would be. As i said, working so hard, what can you say to people who are, you want them to be patient but thats anything but for many people right now. Well, yesterday georgia had a great day running an election. We had to recruit 52,000 new poll workers due to covid and had a new verifiable paper Ballot System and voters liked the system because they had a verifiable paper ballot. They may not like the results but they have that confidence and then well follow that up with our first statewide audit so the alex perelections will b audited. And they can give voters that additional layer of confidence. And you are. Thank you, sir, very much. Maybe a couple of days ahead of you and appreciate you taking time to be with us. Take care.

The ballots being counted in pennsylvania. Usually thats the end of the process. We have a long way to go. There will be legal challenges to these so lets bring in our legal team, kate shaw and dan abrams. Kate, let me begin with you on that point. Were seeing them be counted. Several states are almost certainly going to lead to either automatic recounts or challenges from whoever is behind and recounts there. We know it will happen in pennsylvania as well. Walk everybody through the process and where the challenges are likely. Sure thing, george. In every state you can theres either an automatic recount or recount a candidate can request when the margin is close enough. Sometimes half a percentage point or a quarter or a point so i think youre right. Were almost certain to see at least a couple of states within that margin and if we do, its all but certain one of the candidates is going to request a recount if state law doesnt automatically provide for it. Weve been cautioning americans to be airport before the election and i think we really do need to sort of redouble those efforts at broadcasting the need for patients because it could be weeks if were in recount territory before we know the winner of at least, you know, one or more of these states so those processes will unfold much like the count be is unfolding now and will be count by machine or potentially by hand and either at the same time or after all that is done, there could be legal challenges filed to various decisions made about how to count particular categories of ballots. Dan, weve seen this before back in 2000 but only in one state, the state of florida where they had the recount finally decided by about 500 votes after the Supreme Court stopped the counting. This year you could have the potential to have that happen in several states and again potentially could go to the Supreme Court after appeals. It could and, remember, that each state has different law answer different triggers for possible recounts and different rules for which ballots are counted. So dont expect if there are multiple state challenges a sort of one size fits all Supreme Court appeal. It will have to be specifically state by state. Issue by issue potentially ballot by ballot that gets appealed. But as we talked about before, i think whoever ends up on top at the time the legal fight starts, meaning once the recounts have happened, whoever is on top is at a significant advantage. You dont want to be the person who has lost or is losing and trying to appeal to the Supreme Court to save you. Kate shaw, quickly, john roberts, chief Justice John Roberts also probably doesnt want to get in the middle of this for the sake of the court. I think thats right. Chief Justice Roberts cares a great about the courts legitimacy and doesnt want them at the center of a political fight and see if another other members of the court agree with him that the court might try to find a way not to step into the middle of this dispute potentially to hand over to Congress Responsibility for deciding some of these disputed elections or essentially saying what it didnt say 20 years ago these are state law questions and the Supreme Court has no rule in resolving them so that is possible and of course the huge x factor is the newest member Justice Amy Coney barrett. We dont know what she would do. Whether shell even join the case, thank you very much, michael. George, so much attention being paid to the president ial election. Theres a lot of other elections going on and a big night of firsts across the nation. Well highlight the notable wins in the candidates making history this morning.
