so, over in the senate, the judiciary committee, as expected, has deadlocked on moving judge ketanji brown jackson s nomination to the u.s. supreme court forward. the vote was 11-11 along party lines. senate leader chuck schumer will have to move to discharge her nomination to the full senate which should happen a little later today. let s bring in garrett haake. i ve been groping for information on why this is all day, and claire has explained it to me and my team has explained it to me, but go ahead and explain it to all of our viewers. reporter: the bottom line is democrats got a reminder of just how 50-seat majority is today when a united airlines red-eye flight carrying senator alex podilla had to turn around overnight because of an unrelated medical emergency. without him, democrats couldn t get even to a tie vote in the judiciary committee, which is the bare minimum they would need
to procedurally move judge jackson s vote to the floor. all day long, all of us on capitol hill have turned into amateur flight trackers, trying to figure out exactly which flight the senator was on, when he was going to get to dca. dick durbin joked that he would send his capitol police detail to pick him up and get him here faster if he could, but with all senators accounted for, we just had the vote, a tie as expected, no republicans crossing over to vote for judge jackson, and chuck schumer has started this process now to move her to the floor, and interestingly enough, because of this procedural step that has to be taken because of a tie, i think we re going to find out tonight, rather than on friday when the final votes will be taken, whether there s any more republican support for judge jackson, if you re mitt romney or lisa murkowski or any other republican who hasn t otherwise said how you re going to vote, you ll have to vote on this procedural motion tonight so we ll get all
find out how significant they r. let s find out how many deceased people are on the rolls, how many cases where a deceased individual is voting and let s find out how many aliens are on the voter rolls. california has been accused by many people in the countries of being very lax in allowing non-citizens to register. we can find out. maybe it will turn out there are very few. maybe it will turn out there is atial large number. my reasoning is what is secretary podilla afraid of? show the american public how significant the issue is. it s just fact finding he seems to be afraid of. i have so much to discuss with you. i prepared this well. are you a good debater and a smart guy. we have breaking news about a shooting at a hospital. i have to ask you to end this conversation, i would like to invite you back to continue the conversation. i do need to take you back to bronx south lebanon hospital. police are saying at least one person has been shot t. mayor s office has been briefed on th
purpose? where they will store it and protect it? if you want to do vladimir putin a favor, put all of this information, personal information, for every voter in america is one place online, why not go ahead and make it easy for them to compromise next year s elections? and if they re genuine about the first series of questions how to improve things, go back to the 2014, the last presidential commission on the administration bipartisan recommendations on how to strengthen the integrity of our elections, starting with investing in new technology and voting systems. between that and acknowledging russian interventions, that commission ought to start. alex, thank you for joining us. i will continue in a moment. alex podilla is the secretary of state. joining me now the man who sent the letter, he is the vice chair of the presidential advisory commission on election
integrity. he is also kansas s secretary of state. i suppose kansas will hand over the information. he passed the secure and fair elections act in 2011 where you must show documentary proof of citizenship when applying the vote the american civil liberties union file several suits because of the law. thank you for being with us. thank you for having many esmr chris, have you said, i was talking about the tweet by president trump who said that he won the popular vote, which he didn t, when you take into account all the illegal fraudulent votes. you seem to support that view. on what everyday? well the president s statements in january and february, the commission isn t put in place to prove or displace that. we may never know if that s true or not t. point is to present it to the public. i want to respond to something secretary podilla said.
