Has vowed to keep up his legal challenges though saying that he will never give up fighting for the nation. Act as his supporters continue that protest outside Voting Centers elsewhere vote very different scene celebrations are broken out in anticipation of a final result. Well joe biden is edging closer to that crucial number 270 Electoral College votes needed to make him the next president of the United States 3 days after americans voted the democratic candidate has overtaken donald trump in 2 key battleground states pennsylvania and georgia so where do we stand right now there are just a handful of states that are still being counted and biden is leading in most of them based on projections from the Associated Press he has secured 264 Electoral College votes so far donald trump has 214 and needs both children pennsylvania to reach 270 but it is extremely close in georgia right now most of the remaining votes are from atlanta and its suburbs which tends to lean to the democrats and theyve helped joe biden get ahead but it is by a slim margin that might secure him the 60 electoral votes in the election. Bot the secretary of state has also said that there is going to be a recount because its very close this time yesterday trump was leading in georgia by almost 13000 votes he was also ahead in pennsylvania by more than 100000 votes but thats changed as well biden has overtaken him there although his lead has diminished thats bidens leaders shrunk a bit in the past couple of hours but carney counting mail in ballots which are swaying heavily towards the democrats as expected and could potentially hand by in the states very valuable 20 electoral votes meanwhile in nevada joe bidens lead there is so i it widen the winner of this state will secure a 6 electoral votes in 2016 a President Trump lost this state by more than 2 percent another key state where theyre still counting is our zona joe biden has a substantial lead the Associated Press is already projected this state for joe biden which took his Electoral College vote count to 264 on wednesday all the House Speaker nancy pelosi has been open the indicating that the democrats are expecting a joe Biden Victory this morning it is clear that the biden harris ticket will win the white house his election is historic propelled by the biggest vote ever in the history of our country 73800000 and counting americans the most both ever received by any president ial ticket in history. But President Trump is still far from ready to concede hes been tweeting saying that i easily won the presidency with the legal votes cast he says the observers were not allowed in any way shape or form to do that job and therefore votes accepted during this period must be determined to be illegal votes u. S. Supremes court should decide President Trump says meanwhile the Republican NationalCommittee Chairwoman has made a statement also questioning the integrity of the election want to mcdaniel announce that legal teams are on the ground in 4 states following several allegations of voting irregularities we have seen some discrepancies in michigan and some irregularities that deserve investigation democrats and the media spent 4 years and millions of taxpayer dollars talking about a russian hoax on the grounds of Election Integrity now with just over 48 hours after polls have closed in an actual election for president they want to ignore clear irregularities russia call states as one and the selection we will not stand for that every candidate in every office from president down to the local level has a legal right to challenge irregularities that occur in the process of canvassing ballots we intend to ensure that every lawful voter has their vote counted in accordance with the law that observers are granted the access they are do under state law and that any irregularities that have occurred whether by malicious attack intent or incompetence are fully investigated to the fully fullest extent allowed under the law lets go live now to alan fisher is following all this from washington and it looks increasingly like likely alan based on these projections and the results that we have the democrats will be back in the white house but the president wont concede if and when that time comes. Its going to take a while simply because you can see that both through mcdaniel and also President Trump are digging in for the long haul with him saying you would go to the Supreme Court and run a mcdaniel essentially appealing to the president by having a few old favorites the media the rush of hawks talking about transparency i dont trump himself in the last few hours has issued a statement let me try and sum up for you he said that he believes the American People deserve full transparency so that they can see integrity in the entire election process not just this election he said all legal ballots must be counted and he said theyre meeting resistance from democrats to do that and then he said they will pursue every aspect through the courts he will never stop fighting for the American People so its clear he is laying down a marker that hes not going to concede hes going to continue pushing this room we know that the republicans have employed a high level lawyer whos going to try and make sure to coordinate the legal efforts from the Republican Party in all 4 states its certainly an issue that he raised before the election he said that if he didnt when then that would be because of fraud he talked a great deal about how you felt that mail in ballots were rife for fraud that may come back to bite him simply because it seems that joe biden has surged forward because of the sheer number of mail in ballots many people opting not to go to a polling place on the dia of the election simply because they felt that they may be at risk because of covert so you can see that that is no becoming an issue for him even though his advisers warned him not to go so hard on the fact that ballots may be disqualified there may be an issue with mail in voting so this is going to end up in the courts were seeing that already just a couple of instances already weve seen in Pennsylvania Court where they talked about getting observers into the court the judge said look dont you have people in the room isnt there someone from the party there already and they said yes but they felt they werent close enough. To see the voting the judge threw that one and then in michigan when they presented evidence of what they said was electoral fraud it was someone told someone whod had something he said look thats hear see or hear or see that doesnt meet the Legal Standard that will be the problem for the republicans mentioned for already several times theyve mentioned integrity several times but they havent produced any evidence and theyve got to do that not just for the American People but more importantly for the courts and they have to reach a certain standard if they do not do that it will be a problem for them to overturn what were seeing at the moment a problem to overturn the prospect of joe biden spending the next 4 years in the white house and alan there any allegations of voter fraud obviously also. There were earlier claims by president trying to have won the election while votes were still being counted now one of election observers that say about this. All the organization of american states 1st came to the United States to observe lections back in 2016 and the reason they decided to do it then was because that donald trump as candidate trump was suggesting that the election would be stolen from him there would be irregularities there would be voter fraud so they sent a team of observers and said they didnt see anything of that of course donald trump has for a very long time said that there was a voter fraud in fact he suggested there were millions of votes cast for him that were counted that he said explain the idea that Hillary Clinton won 3000000 more votes in the popular vote than he did well joe biden has won about 4000000 this time around the organization of american states sent observers this time they were in some of the key areas such as michigan pennsylvania georgia they said they had all the complaints that donald trump made in advance their observers saw nothing that would substantiate that at this stage there are other observers there as well they will obviously report back in june course but this fresh report from the organization of american states so. There was nothing to see donald trump doesnt believe that thats why theres every possibility that the 2020 president ial election is going to end up in the Supreme Court. Thank you alan fischer in washington. Were hearing that President Trump has prematurely declared victory multiple times since election day while same time alleging voter fraud his latest remarks on thursday night have driven a number of republicans to distance themselves from their policies candidate for example jeff flake from a Republican Senate safira zona cold on republicans to defend u. S. Elections and Democratic Institutions saying no republican should be ok with the president s statement just now marylands republican governor larry hogan joined the condemnation of the president s comments tweeting there is no defense for the president s comments tonight undermining our democratic process america is counting the votes and we must respect the results as we always have before no election or person is more important than our democracy but leading republican Lindsey Graham is standing by the president s democracy depends upon parallel actions President Trumps teen is going to have a chance to make a case regarding. Voting irregularities they deserve a chance to make that case stand with pros a tribe your democrats are doing this would be cheered on. Munisteri is a former Deputy Assistant to us President Donald Trump hes also a former chairman of the texas Republican Party joins us live now from austin. Has been clear for a while now that joe biden is likely to be back in the white house but as weve seen those figures in those projections coming in were hearing more and more allegations about irregularities in voter fraud from the president. Well 1st let me point out that tuesday night everybody was saying it looked very good for President Trump you have to let the process play out and we have several states with razor thin margins and there are legitimate questions for example in pennsylvania the authorities are purporting to count the ballots after the day of the election where is the regulations are supposed to be that they have to be received by tuesday and in nevada i would point out that the Republican Party has checked the national change of address register and so it is i dont know and i let that provide us that was a given me missing in a stare you say that its important that the process play out but why then did the president declare victory several times while votes was still being counted well because he had very wide margins and i think most people in a normal lection year would think for example in pennsylvania if you were ahead by over 700000 votes which he was at the time that it was a very likely that youd be the winner let me point out that several Networks Said that arizona was going for joe biden and then had to reverse so its not any different for the president to make a prediction and then have to pull it back just says its not unusual for the networks to have made mistakes you know are just making predictions is he hes saying that that has been widespread irregularities hes alleging voter fraud he doesnt have any evidence to support his claims. Well let me correct you on that that is not true the Republican National committee would obtain the names of the national change of address that any organization can do that its people that have listed themselves as having changed their address they compared it to the no vote nevada voter file and lo and behold so far already 5000 voters have been a den of fighters having change their address from nevada yet are shown to have voted in nevada that is demonstrably evidence of an irregularity and you should. Think of me going to mr munisteri forgive me but you i mean you also i was speaking about a situation in pennsylvania just that and of course you know that because of the now let me address that. You know that because of the cove in 1000. 00 pandemic many votes as a large number of votes as of whats a cost that ballots early vote counting is going to be much though because that requires an additional verification process it requies things yes jack and thats not the issue but you a gentleman and i dont know that but youre just saying that the vote counting has been late in pennsylvania no no thats not what i said maam what i said was they are counting votes that were received after election day my understanding is the statute is that in order for a vote to count it has to be received by tuesday its not a question of how fast or slow the vote count is it is what the statute requires i practiced law for 27 years and im familiar with election law here you cannot just arbitrarily change the rules after the election thats the complaints of the republic when and how they all be ferreted. How they are ready changing the rules. Their local officials Just Announced because of covert they were going to extend the deadline the problem with that legally is you dont have authority to do that unless you go to the legislature thats why that is a major irregularity but there are a lot of good and legislatures. Pointed out requests from local Election Officials officials right to pass those new laws to allow extra time for processing and they have said that they are thieves that and they refuse that i mean i am yes maam sure and when they refuse it we have a process that if you dont adopt a statute the new than the rule is not changed that went to our u. S. Supreme court and the ruling was 4 to 4 so now we have another justice and they can hear the matter again but if the legislature refuses to change the law it doesnt mean a local official can ignore of the preexisting law so the point is if an exit lane is a point you have to run to the president and face it is lying to that im going to war in philadelphia. Well remember we have plenty of time to count the Electoral College alecks the president not the National Popular vote last time the Electoral College didnt meet to december 19th most states take a week to 3 weeks to certify the vote so its not an issue of not having enough time to count the vote and have the Electoral College the issue is are you going to follow the law in that state if you do not want to know what you didnt assessing that involved. This year that thats a key sort of the jetsam and that isnt thats not sorry thats just thats just not true so for example here in texas which was considered a battleground because it was close we had 3 weeks of early voting most states have early voting most states also have mail in addition you can vote on the day of the election so these are things that were trying to flesh out and one of the reasons im here is to help to explain to the public that theres been a misrepresentation as to whats been going on but there isnt necessarily any early voting doesnt necessarily mean early processing but something told that we might just as the line thank you very much really appreciate you taking the time Steve Munisteri youre welcome all right thank you so crowds have been building in some cities in the u. S. Is democrat side of right what they on to supply to be a victory is opposed to holding daunce policies in the streets of philadelphia and washington meanwhile accounts of protests are also being yelled with republican demonstrators echoing claims of Election Fraud that made by donald trump and calling for the vote counting to stop. Now the cheating theyre making bounce. Its a fraud theyre clearly cheating to do the clips of dead people voted for they do this every single turn this story were not putting up with what i want i want the boat to be counted that that got here 1 november 3rd and nothing further i dont want the ballots that came in november 4th i dont want the ballots that came on november 12th december 1st january 28th january 90 those dont matter because if they matter they were a mere one time. Meanwhile supporters of joe biden of said that they have faith in the u. S. Electoral system. To me a blue wave saw the senates doing good. And yeah im just really excited to see him next couple of days one season from t. Ballots are all counted feeling good i thought it was going to be kind of the landslide but. It just makes us see how the world really is here in our country. Our country is so scary that its so divided its important that every vote is counted every vote matters makes a difference every vote should be counted absolutely well lets get the latest on the ongoing vote counting we have correspondents Monitoring Progress in pennsylvania georgia nevada and arizona 1st lets go to patty call in in philadelphia pennsylvania where. Just tell u
