the system is rigged against you, and people do feel that way. to peter s point, as far as who does this sway? what s important now is that donald trump only has about 80% of republicans. he needs to get back to 90, 92% or hillary clinton is with democrats. but he also needs to get that enthusiasm gap closed. because now hillary clinton is outpacing him. i want to play a clip for you. earlier my colleague spoke to republican election lawyer, chris ashby. here s what he had to say about the impact donald trump s claims could have on the election system. when one candidate claims in advance ever the election the entire election is rigged, that it has been the outcome of that election has been predetermined by someone else, it has a debilitating effect on the legitimacy of the entire government. those of us who have worked in the system, who understand our election laws, and who understand the way that elections are conducted in the united states, i think have an obligation to spe
christie s circle, as the government says. thank you so much for that report. very eye opening there. defense attorneys that s going to do it for me this hour. thank you so much for watching. ayman mohyeldin takes over at the top of the hour, and he will talk with an election lawyer who will give us a reality check about trump s claims. all finished. umm. you wouldn t want your painter to quit part way. i think you missed a spot. so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? aleve, live whole not part. painter: you want this color over the whole house?
reprehensible. there s the state by state ballots and the fact that it s almost impossible, if not impossible, and people are already voting. the people on the ballot are indicative of the party s preference. you can t change the ballot. it s essentially a shorthand bait and switch. they should be talking about it if they recognize that donald trump is talking about sexual assault and criminal activity. can i say something? what you just described is a full employment program for every election lawyer in the country. there would be a blizzard of lawsuits. every single person who voted for trump and then had their vote switched to pence. you re basically saying because your party nominated this person, the entire country has to be bludgeoned into chaos. you should not be allowed to have a late-term abortion of your candidate. you are late in the term. you have to go ahead with this
to let attacks on these rights go unchallenged. we won t let voter suppression go unchallenged. so earlier this week, you heard from the attorney general and there is a reason the agency he runs is called the department of justice. they have taken on more than 100 voting rights cases since 2009, they have defended the right of everybody from african-americans to spanish speakers to soldiers serving overseas. earlier in year a bipartisan commission i appointed chaired by my election lawyer and mitt romney s election lawyer came up with a series of common sense reforms to modernize voter registration and to curb the potential for fraud in a smart way and ensure that no one has to wait for more than half an hour to cast a ballot. states and local election boards should take up those recommendations. i urge members of congress to
it s that time of year, the election lawyer full employment act labor alone has recruited nearly 300 union lawyers to be on call on election day and take calls from voters who have had problems at the polls. with the presidential race likely to go down-to-the-wire there s a small but very real possibility we won t know who won the presidency on november 6th. i m joined now by the washington post political reporter aaron blake. let s show this map, this is nine swing states, charlie cook says this race will go down the wire. how likely is it do you think that there will be an electoral college tie? well it s very, very unlikely. this is a nightmare scenario of sorts. lots of things have to fall into place and given how many combinations there can be with the nine swing states that we currently see, it s very, very unlikely we would get to a situation where we would have 269 electoral votes on either side. you outline five scenarios in
