verify the security of the voting equipment so, lawrence, i ended up having to decertify the voting equipment in mesa county the county replaced the voting equipment, and i also placed a supervisor on top of the election the former republican county clerk who served prior to the current county clerk and what happened what are you hoping will be the outcome at the end of this story where would be the end of this story, if pursued through to the end? well, i think we need to take some bold actions to protect democracy. i hope that we win the litigation that we re currently in to completely remove the clerk from all election activity and actually put in place the former county clerk and actually my predecessor, republican clerk wayne williams to oversee the election this election but it s more than just one
likely be the president, what will be your foreign politics especially in a relationships with my country and do you want to continue the politics of sanctions that are damaging both economy or you have any other ideas? okay. obama gets along with nobody. the whole world takes us. i believe i would get along very nicely with putin. the big question tonight, was russia more than going to the nra with the purpose of electing trump? back to that $30 million staggering number. keep in mind, foreign nationals are prohibited to contributing to any election activity in the united states, if russia money was funneled to help trump, it s a huge deal. then there is this. if it happened, did donald trump know about it? sarah, what have you 11ed about what mule learned about what mueller is looking at? reporter: because of all the money it spent on the 2016 election as well as ties to the
number of other leaders down there. and he was also asked about the lack of republican support, which he acknowledged. republicans calling on him to respond to these accusations have publicly said there s likely going to need to be a new election, and the state legislature that is controlled by the gop passing a mandate that s now at the governor s desk that any kind of new election activity would have to be linked to a new primary, essentially saying we want a second chance to get our candidate right this time. so not a lot of confidence there in harris. this is completely different than what you re seeing on the democratic side, his opponent dan mccready is getting a lot of national attention, even getting a fund-raising e-mail from elizabeth warren sent out on his behalf. alex. our thanks to kristin holmes. coming up at the top of the hour, more questions than answers after a judge strikes down a key provision of

dollars on election activity. and almost most of them are conservative. and most of them are doing things which you couldn t tell a difference between them, the social welfare group. right. and a political operation. and that s what the change. it s not like big money is leaving politics because you can still give money to superpacs as well. right. what the administration wants to do, they want to make sure 501-c4s are not as powerful. superpacs have to say who gives money to them. 501-c4 s don t. that s what president obama wants to encourage. the operation is considered to be operated exclusively for the social welfare if it is primarily engaged in promoting some way the common good and general we feel of the community. that s according to irs.gov. jackie, crossroads gps, common good and general welfare of the community? not sure that that definition flies. well, and that s one of the
