your tv on. and they look like they re going to be decisive. because greene county, it s a cow county. there are very few people who live down there. and all of the population in that district is up in those pittsburgh suburbs where people are in business, and maybe they re out of town on business. so they vote absentee. and then as cornell indicated, you get better organization by the democrats of the absentee ballots. that s very much like the early voting you see in other states. a lot of that is about elbow grease. it s about who is out there organizing on the ground old-fashioned field organizing. for all the talk of, you know, social media campaigns and television advertising, which is in some ways becoming old-fashioned, a lot of this is ground out on the ground, at the door, you know. the canvassing. and so that s where the energy that the democrats have really comes in handy. and ron klain, it seems that both democrats and republicans
already. they can do a lot of mischief there. i think they want to hack into the voting machines. 13 states don t even have a paper record we can audit if they hack. should we go to paper this fall to be careful? we need a combination of the touch screens with paper. that can be audited. 69% is, seven out of ten americans believe the russians were involved in our election. they know, most people overwhelmingly believe 9 russians were screwing with us trying to hurt our democracy. sure. something that s been made really clear and comey said this in testimony, the russians tried to leave bred crumbs. they want to show americans they can interfere in our elections whether it s through penetrating voter databases or releasing hacked e-mails or launching social media campaigns. why? because they want us to stoke fear. the next time you go to the polls and see the results of an election, you have a little bit of doubt. of course, it doesn t matter which side it s on. a shaky th

america, who will not get their rewards, until mueller is all done. thank you. we don t know what george papadopoulos, mike flynn, or rick gates know about whether or not i would want to know is whether cambridge an knit cahad social media operations that coordinated with any of the social media campaigns run by the 13 indicted russians. i would want to know if part of the reason on inauguration day they were talking about ripping up russian sanctions if they had any knowledge of what these 13 individuals were doing. you want to know what the people who have pleaded guilty and helping bob mueller know about the work these 13 indicted individuals did, and whether or not they had any knowledge of those campaigns and who was behind them during the campaign. ari melber is with us.
have to learn, be careful on social media campaigns and our stories and monitor things. we all do. yeah. it is the vigilance here that this is going to take is but while this is disturbing, chuck, it s not all that surprising. i mean, we sort of knew this stuff was going on. but now it s in black and white. it is, and it s there s it s unimpeachable. it was done with such precision and detail, it seems unimpeachable. kristen, ken, chuck, thank you all very much. up ahead, what do today s indictments mean for the russian probe going forward? and the president s decision to just focus on no collusion? was that a smart tactic or not? we ll talk to the panel, next. woman: i m a fighter. always have been. when i found out i had age-related macular degeneration, amd, i wanted to fight back. my doctor and i came up with a plan. it includes preservision. only preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute
