This is cnn tonight. I am don lemon. President trump employing a lastditch effort to change the conversation just days ahead of the midterms. Hes attempting to paint a group of migrants hundreds of miles from the border with a broad and scary brush. And what was billed as a policy speech from the roosevelt room today, the president proposed no actual policies. Listen to what he said. Theres nothing political about a caravan of thousands of people and now others forming pouring up into our country. We have no idea who they are. Did you catch that . The president admitted we have no idea who they are. Then why does he keep calling them invaders . If there is nothing political about it, why is the caravan brought up in every Single Campaign appearance the president makes. A slowmoving group of asylum seekers, asylumseeking immigrants . Walking with strollers and suitcases. Not an invasion. Repeating a lie does not make it truth. With the midterms just five days aw away, the president is attempting to scare people to the polls. Lets discuss that. Will it work . Whats going on . Answer the lik is here, molly ball, as well as larry sabato. Good evening. Thank you so much for coming on this evening. David, im going to start with you. I just want to know do you think this plan the white house sat down and came up with or did they come one this or is the president going with his gut and whats worked before . Look, the president is comfortable, don, talking about immigration, and until it doesnt work for him i think hes going to continue to do it. If we go back a couple of weeks, republicans and President Trump were very happy with the narrative coming out of the kavanaugh hearings. They were spooling up this talk about globalists and about the carav caravan then all of a sudden with the bombings the week before last and the tree of life massacre the narrative changed and we heard the president lamenting that the news wasnt about what he wanted to talk about. So in the last couple of days to sort of make sure he got the news back on immigration his topic of choice he first floated this idea about birthright citizenship and then this ad his campaign has released. And finally now today, as you said, a Campaign Speech disguised as a policy speech where he wanted to ratchet up sort of maximum fear of undocumented immigrants coming across the border, something that can be discussed and talked about in a rational way, not as invaders, not as people needing 15,000 troops on the border, but i think the president feels like he won in 2016 with immigration at its core and until he loses an election on immigration thats what hes going with. Molly, the president is making 11 Campaign Stops today through election day. But arizona and nevada are missing from that map. Sources are telling cnns jeff zeleny that trump has been asked to stay away from those tight senate races. Is his message hurting republican candidates, do you think . In the places hes going they obviously feel hes helping, but it is revealing, as i am not the first to note, that the places hes going are places where hes popular and republicans are probably going to win anyway. There are a lost of strategists, republicans and democrats alike, who wonder if he isnt a more galvanizing figure for the other side than he is for his own side. Weve seen how energized democrats are to vote in this Midterm Election 37 well find out for sure on tuesday. And the president and some of his advisers have been telling themselves that their best hope is to increase Republican Base turnout to try to match that democratic enthusiasm. But its not clear that the president doesnt actually motivate more democrats when he goes to a particular place than he does republicans. In a place particularly like nevada or arizona where obviously there is a large section of the electorate that is latino, those are places where republicans would prefer not to have the president going in and potentially stirring up more democrats. Lets bring in larry now. The president s divisive language on race and immigration plays well in some parts of the country but not everywhere. Where could it alienate voters . It alienates voters in the high collegeeducated suburbs that are at the heart of the house districts that may very well turn the house over to the democrats. And don, i really think there is a calculation here that no ones talking about. Certainly the white house wont. They would never concede that the house has lost in advance and most of their base believes theres going to be a giant red wave. You know, weve all gotten those emails and tweets. But i think they have made a very back decision. You may not like it but they decided to save the senate. Thats what this is all about. He is campaigning in all those deeply red straights that probably will allow the republicans to keep the senate, maybe even add a seat or two. As long as he has the senate, he feels like he can get through the next two years, get his court appointments, his cabinet appointments, and hell have the house to beat up on. You know, he likes to have a juicy target. And theyll provide it. I think your analysis is right on there, larry. David, is the president just focusing on immigration because it worked for him in 2016 . You said hes going to continue to do it, hell use immigration as long as it works. Obviously, hes thinking it will work again. First of all, i agree with larry that this is a focus in the final days on the senate. Republicans feel better about that. Democrats feel a little better about the house. And the president knows hes got to at least hold on to one house of congress let me just say this. Sure. Remember 2016, right . Right. But we actually dont really know whats going to happen on tuesday night. Right . No. So go thats the common wisdom with the polling. Right. Yeah. Conventional wisdom i think in 2016 was tested and defeated. Im suggesting republicans feel better about the senate and democrats feel better about the house. Neither party. Especially democrats right now who control neither house nor the white house should get cocky about anything. Leader pelosi the other day saying i think im going to win, was a political mistake, prematu premature. You dont want to give Bulletin Board material to the other side. And she like you say, don, doesnt know whats really going to happen. Really quick just let me answer your question on immigration. The president , although as larry says republicans are facing trouble in some house districts, the president s Approval Rating is right around where it was on inauguration day. Hes got his base with him. Thats number one. And number two, the democrats have a plus 8 i think or plus 7 1 2 in the generic congressional ballot. But thats not the same as having that kind of lead in especially these red states where a lot of democrats are up for reelection in senate races in red states and these house wins even if democrats wins are going to be much closer. Ive got to go to the polling guy since david got us there. Larry, in your latest predictions you switch ratings for four house races. Is that good news for the republicans or is that good news for the democrats . It actually kind of washed out, don. But ill tell you. On the whole, when you talk even to republican analysts you can detect that theyre a little bit pessimistic to a lot pessimistic about keeping the house. Now, when they talk about the individual races, they give you better adds for their individual candidates than they do for keeping the house as a whole. I think its conventional wisdom and i certainly remember 2016. I think everybody in our business who predicted a Hillary Clinton win remembers 2016. But you know the good side of this, don, its that everyone should know that nothing is over until the final poll closes and nobodys going to be overconfident this year. And thats going to encourage a higher voter turnout, maybe on both sides. Im going to give you the bulk of the time after this one. I just want to know from larry why you switched steve kings seat in the house. You switched from likely to leans republican. Why did you make that move . We did it because he is getting a lot of blowback even in his own district from the outrageous comments that he has made. And i dont know anybody, even in the republican hierarchy, who doesnt think his comments were outrageous. He was denounced by the guy rung the republican campaigns whos a member of the house of representatives from ohio. We lowered it because we learned when a major controversy breaks on an incumbent right before the election they may not lose but its going to be closer than it usually is. Youve got 61 the last time. Hes looking at a closer race. Molly, i see you shaking your head. Do you want to respond to that one . I wanted to respond to what we were talking about earlier, this argument about immigration. It is a really interesting test of this immigration message. It is a pretty exotic theory that this is a winning message for republicans, to go all in on this very hardline, very extreme immigration message. Its a political strategy that probably steve king, a couple of President Trumps advisers, and apparently the president s gut believe but its noting . That i think most conventional republican political strategists would advocate, this extremely divisive and as youve said fearmongering message because as larry was saying before, this doesnt only alienate, you know, latino voters who may see themselves perhaps or their ancestors reflected in the people in that caravan. Its all kinds of voters. It alienates suburban voters. It alienates educated voters. It alienates Republican Voters. We have all kinds of data that says that most americans are not really there for a message quite this far out on immigration. And yet the president is determined to make this the closing message for the entire republican party. And well see if like 2016 hes got an instinct thats better than the entire sort of conventional Political Class on this. And its interesting molly because go ahead. What did you want to see . I just wanted to jump in real quick. I really do agree with what molly is saying there and certainly polling bears out that americans are not by and large looking for the type of solutions that the president is proposing. I will only say, though, that in an election where were at the point where this is not about persuading people. This is about getting your base out to vote. Minds arent changing now. Its who will come out to the polls. I think thats where they i just have a couple seconds left. Speak of that, 23 million votes have been cast already. People have made up their minds in many states. For both parties. Theyve managed to get people out to the polls early. Or to vote early. Sure. And early voting is something that has been increasing nationally and in many states and jurisdictions for years now. But look, we see that a Midterm Election is always a turnout election. People have made up their minds, yeah, but they havent necessarily made up their minds to vote. And we have seen democrats champing at the bit to vote in a lot of these early special elections and Virginia Election and so on. As david was saying, the republicans are hoping that this fearbased strategy can energize enough dispirited or complacent republicans or republicanleaning independents who might have been thinking about staying home or assuming because of the president talking about a red wave that their vote wasnt needed. Trying to get those people off the couch, and well see if it works. Thank you all. I appreciate it. From the president s tweets to russian botts on social mediar we at a point where propaganda and lies pass as truth . I tell everyonif you want to get ancestrydna tethe most details about your family history. My pie chart showed that im from all over europe, but then it got super specific. I learned my people came from a small region in poland, and even a little bit of the history about why they might have migrated during that time. Those migration patterns are more than just lines on a map, theyre really your familys story. This holiday, give the gift thats connected millions to a deeper family story. Order your kit at ancestry. Com there is a down side to the internet echo chamber. Lets discuss with frank bruni of the new york times, mike dantoni is author of the truth about trump. Good evening. Theres a method to our madness. I have you here because you wrote something about this. Your piece is titled the internet will be the death of us. And you said at first i was like the death of the u. S. And you say it is a tool for learning, roving, and Constructive Community building, but its unrivaled too in the spread of lies, narrowing of interests and erosion of common cause. Please give us some examples of that. With the internet we are now individuals are kind of curating their information diets, theyre curating their News Consumption in a way that they can tune out anything that doesnt fit their preexisting worldview. They can tuck themselves into echo chambers where they only hear what they already believe, what they want to believe. And weve recently had two horrifying examples of this. Im going to say his name wrong, but cesar sayoc, who sent the pipe bombs allegedly sent the pipe bombs. And then Robert Bowers with the massacre in pittsburgh. In both cases those men spent enormous time online. And what they were doing online was they were finding communities of people who believed in the same dark things theyd who reinforced their beliefs, who colored them darker still, and we have to ask some really serious questions. About whether people who are already prone to hate are actually being pushed all the way to violence by the encouragement, by the reinforcement that they get online. Have we reached a point even here, ill just speak for myself. Well present factual information, back it up with examples, right . Concrete empirical evidence. And people say oh, thats not true or its fake news. Its like what are you talking about . Im often shocked by the amount of propaganda that people believe. Have we reached a point where propaganda can pass as true . Heres why that happens. I was thinking about this when watching cnn earlier this evening. On andersons show he was going through the lies in the president s speech, for lack of a better word, on immigration today. Because the internet gives you all of these kind of tiny niches you can go into, because even the tv dial gives you so many options, you can tell yourself youre extremely well informed because you have all of these sites bookmarked, because youre following these 100 people on twitter, because youre watching some tv. But you can never stumble across a show thats actually giving you objective dispassionate facts. And so you end up, what the internet does for you is you end up overfed and undernourished. Hmm. Inundated but not necessarily informed. But not informed. Ah. Did you want to Say Something . I think thats a brilliant analysis. And i was speaking with someone earlier today who actually had been hired by facebook years ago when they were hoping to consider looking into the news diet that people were getting on facebook. Facebook brought in a whole bunch of journalists. These were professionals at actually informing people. And within a year they fired them all. They decided that they were going to buy into this utopian idea that the internet was going to provide us with a plethora of sources and everybody was going to be very keen on informing themselves. Well, really, people separated themselves into tribes. And now the tribes are getting more and more exclusive. Donald trump would like an eck owe chamber of one so he could hear his own voice all the time. Well, speaking of this, let me ask you this because you know him very well. Youre the biographer. Hes got 55 million twitter followers, right . He capitalizes on that reach to reach out to his base. But he doesnt like to use email. Im not sure if he has an email account. But its widely known in the white house they print out emails and documents for the president to read. How does he get to twitter . Well, i think thats a technology that hes mastered because it matters to him and its only a limited number of characters and words. He actually, if you think about it, is a 1970s tabloid i just had a question in my head. But go on. No one wants to hear more of what donald trump has to say about himself than go ahead. Hes writing New York Post headlines circa 1980. This is how hes always thought. And hes always mastered these niches theres another reason he loves twitter, which is it provides this instant odometer of approval. You sent out the tweet and you look oh, who liked it, who shared it. Its a wonderful instant feeling of validation if youre someone like trump. He told me he was going to run for president in 2014 based on twitter. He said everybodys telling me to do it. He knew at that time that half of his followers were bots. He went out and purchased millions of followers in the philippines and other places. So the bots were telling him to run. But that really was him telling himself to run. Its interesting to me because i just i dont even read the comments anymore. I may as well turn the comments off on all my social media. People say did you see sxuch is such im like no, why are you reading that . Who cares . Yeah, you get that into your head its a big danger. But theres one other crucial thing about social media we have to say. Not only can you use it to follow people you agree with but the algorithms encourage that. If i like something, im going to see more from that person, more of that kind. It takes a narrow interest of yours and it makes it narrower and narrower until you are just spinning in a rut. They even send you ads, if you clicked on something on the internet. Like i bought a backpack the other night. Im like okay, i bought one, i dont need any more backpack ads. But next youll get other mountaineering gear, ads for those things. But theyre forcing you into this limited neighborhood where youre only going to see reflections of yourself. Youre just backpack man. Youre backpack man. Its interesting because we talked about this racist ad that the president retweeted yesterday, and its interesting he would use his twitter page to put out something that many people are saying worse interesting is a kind word. Thats worse than willie horton. But its also a Straight Line to others, not only his followers, and i say followers, right . Notice i didnt say supporters. Followers because thats what its become. But to every journalist who then amplifies what he says, even if its right or wrong, even if its embellishment or a lie, people are still amplifying it. In many ways we do that here on cable news too because we put it on, we run it and then people believe it before we have a chance to fact check it. Yes. Or at least he sets the terms of the conversation. This happened tuesday. At the beginning of tuesday we heard he said with an executive order im going to end birthright citizenship. Hes not going to be able to do that. I dont he believes he can do that. But for 24 hours what were we talking about . Immigration and birthright citizenship. Victory donald trump. Exactly. And im going to do the tax cut. People still believe those things. I was listening to at my home last night randi kayes story on andersons show. And to listen to the people in the crowd what they believe, well, hes going to chait whole birthright citizenship. You realize he cant no, hes going to do it. Do you think its an election tactic so close to election day that these people arent anywhere near . No. They believe its imminent. The folks actually believe it. They believe that an invasion is imminent. They believe that our troops need to be because he said it. There are people who are now talking about sending drones to interdict the caravan 500 miles into mexico because theyre panicked about this fake invasion. I would challenge everyone to just try to walk 500 miles and see how fast you get to somewhere. 800 miles. Or 1,000 miles. This is the world we this is Donald Trumps mind that were all living inside of. He has created this narrative that has at this point in terms of the caravan no relationship whatsoever to the truth. None. But he said what did he say . I tell the truth when i can. Which apparently he cant do that very often. Ive got to run. Well continue this conversation. Maybe one day over a snowy fire or something. Snowy fire. It wouldnt be a snowy fire. A snowy day by a fire. Thanks, guys. With his racist comments catching up to him members of his own party turning against him, eightterm iowa congressman steve king is facing whats shaping up to be the battle of his political life. Republican congressman steve king increasingly under fire for his racially charged remarks, hardline views on immigration and diversity, and comments that many consider hateful. And now he has serious competition in this election. I want to talk to rebecca bassu now, a columnist for the Des Moines Register. So good to have you on. Ive got to say thank you, john. Good to be here. Absolutely. You have been following steve king for years. You wrote a great piece in the Des Moines Register and its entitled steve kings base shows cracks over his rhetoric on immigrants, kavanaugh investigation. So you spoke to some Republican Voters who say theyre now supporting democratic congressman j. D. Shelton. Why is that . You know, its very interesting. He has had such a loyal base of Christian Conservative republicans in his western iowa district. And what is happening is some of those very same Christian Conservative republicans are take great offense now at the way hes talking about immigrants because some of them have adopted children from other countries. And when steve king makes these remarks about we cant preserve our western civilization with other peoples babies thats now very offensive to them because it hits them where they live, in their homes. So i think there are a lost decent people who live in his district who have just been profoundly misguide by his rhetoric, people who have not had a lot of contact with people of color or immigrants before and now theyre not quite sure whether to hes very good at stoking fears, and theyre really not quite sure how to think about their neighbors anymore. And the irony of this is that western iowas towns would be emptied out if it wasnt for immigrants and there would be nobody to work in the meatpacking plants. Interesting. So they have this incredible dependence on immigrant labor and immigrants rebuilding small communities, pop laith the schools, putting in small businesses, all of that, and yet king continually tries to say divisive things about how mexicans dont have the same values or theyre mostly drug runners, theyre involved in crimes. He also said he wanted immigrants to assimilate to American Culture and not to try to reverse it. But i kind of ask you we talked about scholten, right . He is outraising king, the campaign tells our team they took in 800,000 from 24,000 individual donors in 72 hours. That is really astonishing. And hes winning more newspaper endorsements. Is all of that enough to get him over the line do you think or do you think most people are still all in for king . I dont know how much of a difference that makes in kings district. I think it makes a difference everywhere else in the country. Everyone is talking about steve king and his diatribes. But i dont know that more ads, which scholten can certainly afford to buy now because of all of the national attention, is what its going to take in the district. On the other hand, i think scholten himself is a very convincing character. A very convincing candidate. He is 38 years old. He doesnt have a high profile. Hes not been one of the people who went against king previously who didnt get much traction was the wife of the former governor, tom vilsack. And that just didnt go anywhere. Most of these races hes won by about 20 points. But this one is really close, right . This one is really if you look at scholtens data, its a onepoint race. If you look at kings recent data, its an 18point race. I want to get this in because this may explain some of it. This is representative king losing his cool today when someone asked him at a forum about his history of antiimmigrant rhetoric. Watch this. You and the shooter both share an ideology that is antiimmigration do not associate me with that shooter. I know you were an ambusher when you walked in the room. But you get no answer i was about to ask you what distinguishes your ideology. I was about to ask you what distinguishes your no. Youre done. You crossed the line. Its not tolerable to accuse me to be associated with a guy that shot 11 people in pittsburgh. I am a person who has supported israel from the beginning. A link to that nation is a link to my life. I will not answer your question, nor listen to another word from you. Wow. He responded by tweeting the video and then adding leftist media lies have reached peak insanity and compared me to the evil pittsburgh murderer of 11 jews. I mean, it sounds like he is not accustomed to being challenged because he shut that guy down. That guy was calm and he was losing it. Well, he doesnt allow himself to be challenged. He refused to debate scholten. There have not been any debates with scholten because he generally refuses to debate his opponents pen does not come into the Editorial Board anymore. He used to come in for regular interviews, endorsement interviews. He was even once endorsed by the Des Moines Register. But he wont come in anymore now. He says, and youll be interested in, this he says liberal media like cnn and the Des Moines Register, leftwing bias, so i wont talk to them, i cant talk to them, everything is lies. Whats interesting about that goaround with the man who was asking him the question is that i think the man very appropriately quoted started out quoting something king has said about other cultures, other peoples babies and so on. King took offense at linking athat understandably to the synagogue shootings. But king has never taken offense to those remarks being brought up to him again nor has he taken offense to being called a white supremacist or like toend a white supremacist. Until this year when theres some concern on the part of his campaign that it might backfire. I have for a long time been talking about his white supremacist views in my column and ive never gotten any pushback about it. But this time there is some. In fact, king was on a local ive got to run. Im out of time. But go ahead, finish your thought. Okay. I was going to say he was on a local Tv News Program about a week ago in which he said whats so bad about White Supremacists . Three years ago that wantds even a bad wo wasnt even a bad word, awful a sudden its become a bad word. Oh, boy. Rekha, appreciate it. Good to be here. Absolutely. Oprah thats next.

Both candidates bringing out heavy hitters to help get out the vote. Vice president mike pence stumping for republican mike kemp and oprah stumping for Democrat Stacey Abrams and making an impassioned plea to voters. For anybody here who has an ancestor who didnt have the right to vote and you are choosing not to vote wherever you are in this state, in this country, you are dishonoring your family. You are disrespecting and disregarding their legacy. Their suffering and their dreams when you dont vote. Hmm. Lets discuss now. Keith boykin, alice stewart, amanda carpenter. Amandas the author of Gaslighting America why we love it when trump tries to or lies to us p. Either way. Keith, what can oprah do for Stacey Abrams, do you think . Oprah can do a lot pf take the state of georgia. Georgia is 32 africanamerican, 51 female. Oprah has a great deal of resonance with both of those communities because of her popularity, her tv show. And shes out there campaigning, knocking on doors. Shes drawing attention to the race, creating publicity for Stacey Abrams. I think shes already having an impact in a very tight race. Any little bit helps, and oprah will help. Alice, you know, mike pence, the Vice President , was in georgia on behalf of brian kemp. He mocked Stacey Abrams for being bankrolled by hollywood liberals. Watch this. I heard oprahs in town in tonight. I heard will ferrell was going door to door the other day. Well, id like to remind stacey and oprah and will ferrell, im kind of a big deal too. Do you get that . And i got a message. I got a message for all of Stacey Abrams liberal hollywood friends. This aint hollywood. This is georgia. All right. Okay. First of all, oprahs oprah, not mike pences from the south. Second, the president is a celebrity as well. What do you say to that, al snis. Its good to see that mike pence and ron burgundy were both there campaigning in georgia. Don, i was born and raised in georgia. I know that state very well. And oprah hit on a very key issue that resonates with georgia. She says if you dont vote a certain way youre dishonoring your family, youre not supporting your family. Thats the way its been for many years in georgia for democrats. They felt zell miller exemplified this. Born and raised as democrats. But georgians finally realized im actually conservative, i support life, i support immigration reform, i support Second Amendment rights, i am actually a republican. And thats why georgia took this shift. And thats the values that people are going to vote for alice, can i just correct one thing, though . Because you said oprah said if you dont vote vote a certain way. She never said that. She said if you dont vote. She was speaking about the fact that africanamericans had to fight for the right to vote. Or women. Women too. But she didnt say if you dont vote a certain way youre disrespecting your elders. Also, alice, ill let you finish, but she also said that shes a registered independent and she had voted republican in some races and democrat and that she owned her own mind and that you can vote whatever way you want, you dont need a Political Party to tell you which way to vote. I dont think she was talking about democrats. She was talking about people whose ancestors had not been able to vote. She made a very, very articulate case on that. And it was a great speech. It was very motivating. But she was clearly there for Stacey Abrams, as she made it quite clear. And she was smart to avoid talking about the issues because she was there to motivate voters on their emotions. But this was a clear contrast today between Stacey Abrams, who is there being promoted and pushed by Oprah Winfrey whos a very articulate spokesperson for her. But she was pushing Stacey Abrams, who supports socialized medicine, she supports open borders and she supports tax hikes, as opposed to mike pence who was there for kemp, who supports immigration reform, Second Amendment rights and life issues. Two very stark contrasts. Donald trump won georgia by five points and that is the message that resonates with georgians. And i think that will steer clear. I want to get alice in here. But i mean excuse me amanned p. B amanda. But she said she doesnt support open borders. And she supports the Second Amendment. She wants gun control. That doesnt mean she doesnt support the Second Amendment. Come on, alice. Youre better than that. I think we should take a second. This speech by oprah was very well received. I think mike pence is a little mad they lost kanye. So we wont hold that against him right now. A little shade by you and keith. Why was this a good speech . Oprah, theres this big debate going on among democrats whether they go low against donald trump or they go high or whatever. Look at oprahs speech. She gave a very political speech that wasnt partisan. It was extremely accessible to anyone to listen to. But it was very much aimed at women and minorities. But it wasnt over the top. It wasnt race baiting. She told a story. And she talked about the importance of voting. And she said this woman shows my values, and thats why i support her. And it was a beautiful speech. And i think everyone felt good listening to it. To me it was like a breath of fresh air. Im very curious to know what republicans oprah has voted for. But i think people who want to campaign against donald trump should study that and see how she did it because shes an expert. You want to know how to reach out to suburban women . She is the queen. Shes cultivated it with her talk show for years and years and years. And she knocked it out of the park. It was beautiful. Okay. Thank you. Listen, you guys stick around. Were going to talk what you should know about Voter Suppression when we come right back. With no aerosols and no heavy perfumes. So you can spray and stay. Febreze one. At tmobile, forty bucks gets you an unlimited plan and a new Samsung Galaxy s9 included for every line. This is what you get with your 40 plan at verizon. Recap with tmobile, you get this four lines four phones for forty bucks. With verizon, you get this. The choice just got a whole lot more obvious. Get more because you deserve it. Only at tmobile. If these packs have the same number of bladder leak pads, i bet you think bigger is better. Actually, its bulkier. Always discreet quickly turns liquid to gel, for drier protection thats a lot less bulky. Always discreet. All right. Tonight a federal judge denying a motion seeking to open a second polling place in dodge city, kansas. A lawsuit was filed because the only polling place in the city was moved out of town. Im back now with everyone. Weve got to get through this quickly. Short answers, please. Alice, dodge city, kansas 60 hispanic state, a state where the secretary of state kris kobach is in a dead heat with lori keller for governor. How is it moving the polling place weeks before the election outside of dodge city, how is it fair to these voters . They had restrictions that applied topher person across the board in the zriblth, and i think its important to realize when were talking about all of these states that these rules apply across the board. And having served as deputy secretary of state in arkansas, free and Fair Elections require certain things and that is the integrity of our voter laws, making sure that the polling sites are free and fair and equitable and make sure that we have voter i. D. Laws that are equitable across the board. And that is the best way that we can make sure that our elections are free of and integrity.
