Florida by 3. 4 . He said that he would have won the election legally right now Vice President biden leads President Trump in the total votes counted by 3. 9 million he said he will not allow the corruption to steal the election there is no indication of any corruption to steal the election and no evidence thereof has been offered. He said that they dont want anyone watching as they count the ballots. This is categoric false in each case observers are allowed from both sides of the political aisle to watch the county the counting happen he said that they are trying to commit election fraud. Categorically false. In the state of georgia, the secretary of state was asked if there had been any voter fraud investigations of yet and the secretary of state in the state of georgia said, there have been no complaints of voter fraud by democrats or republicans and as a result, there have been no investigations of voter fraud. The truth is the count continues. The vote ended at different times as set by law and structure in states and counties across the nation on election day, tuesday, november 3rd the vote stopped and the counting began in some cases, ballots were allowed by mailin as long as postmarked by the end of the day on november 3rd to be counted for a few more days, pennsylvania, the republican controlled state created rules that allowed for the voting the counting to continue through friday of this week. So until tomorrow. No votes are being allowed after november the 3rd in some states they have to arrive by november the 3rd but allegations of voter fraud, allegations of trying to steal the election, none of that is true not one word eamon javers is with us from washington eamon, i guess it was 3 00 in the morning yesterday after an all night, after Election Night he came to the podium and issued a series of false statements then hes issuing a series of false statements now yeah, shep, what were looking at tonight is a president of the United States attacking the credibility of a free and Fair Election in the United States of america its not something that any american has witnessed before as the president is now leaving the Briefing Room. I can tell you that one of the arguments that the president made in sort of suggesting that there was some fraud here was this idea he said its amazing how the mailin ballots are so onesided. Well, the president there ignoring the fact, completely walking past the fact that he spent weeks of time arguing that mailin ballots were dangerous, that his supporters should not send their ballots in through the mail, that that was not an acceptable way to vote and urging people to vote in person saying that was the only legitimate way to vote so people who supported trump did that after he made that argument. People who supported biden by and large were wary of covid and decided to mail their ballots in, so thats the reason that the mailin ballots are overwhelmingly biden not anything else. The president throwing that out there, in fact, as an argument for why theres buy dwas in the counting process and ignoring his own role in setting that up in the first place weve just never seen anything like this in american tryst and interesting to see what the reaction s one of the things can i tell you weve been getting new data during the course of the day today in all of these battleground states that are still hanging fire five states out there, still hanging in the balance new count in pennsylvania, new count in georgia, the balance in georgia is tightening tonight. They were down to 9,000 votes earlier. Theyre less than that, im told now, that state is a traditionally red state. The president here tonight listing a long list of his accomplishments and he did have many in this election. He won florida, he won ohio. He won a number of other states by convincing margins, but the state of georgia is in play for democrats right now which indicates that republicans are having trouble there holding on to a historically very red seat. This is a situation that the president is in, hes now declared victory in this election, shep and hes out here tonight in the Briefing Room of the white house talking to america and the world and saying that hes been dealt with unfairly. One thing to note, shep, not at his side today for these comments was the Vice President mike pence, shep i was going to ask you about that mike pence was nowhere to be found. The lawyers that hes been using throughout the day are from his inner circle rudy giuliani, jay sekulow, pam bondi and other, but it was our understanding he was trying to recute other lawyers for these legal challenge, by the way, the only legal challenge that cnbc is aware of that has been passed is that one about distance from the poll viewing of Allegheny County, pennsylvania the rest of them, correct me if im wrong, have all been reje rejected or are still in the work. Michigan and georgia rejected today as the president was arguing in various fronts today, but lawyers im sorry, the courts in those states saying theres just not enough evidence of what youre saying in court you have to present evidence theres been some illegal activity here, some wrongdoing in order to make them go you cant simply File Lawsuits so the Trump Campaign is really struggling and it comes after a day when we saw the president s sons venting on twitter their frustration, enormous frustration in the Republican Party and in particular the potential republican candidates in 2024 who are sort of wading g in the wings how come theyre not doing enough now they are frustrated this president is not seeing sort of a rally around the leader effect among fellow republicans and we saw an interesting defection today as we look at the White House PressBriefing Room tonight. Everybody remembers sean spicer, the president s first press secretary. Spicer who has been a loyal supporter of the president since being fired by him came out today and said that he doesnt see any evidence of voter fraud out there despite what the president has been arguing today and we just saw him argue in the Briefing Room. Spicer saying, you know, you just cant throw an allegation like that without specific evidence and urging the president if he has any to provide any evidence for that. Eamon, well back to you. So why all the distractions . And why, frankly as just documented all of the misstatements . Well, there is a wave as he discussed, but its not coming his way. The margins are razor thin across the board right now were watching pennsylvania very closely and i want to show you this. The secretary of state said we could know the winner tonight in the state of pennsylvania. If Vice President biden wins the commonwealth of pennsylvania, this is over ill show you where we are now im no kornacki but ive learned to work it this is pennsylvania this is philadelphia county. Lets go to pennsylvania itself. Talk me through this, folks. I know how to do that. Pennsylvania, here we go this is pennsylvania right now thats for the presidency and now pennsylvania too close to call still. President trumps lead has now gone down to 73,609. Lets look at some counties here this is philadelphia county. 87 of the vote is in and you can see the margin here. So whats left to get in here . 13 of the vote. Throughout the afternoon in all of the counties across pennsylvania, as these mailin ballots have been coming in because thats what were down too, mailin ballots, the Vice President , Vice President biden has been winning by about 70 with every drop of ballots and were expecting more throughout the night. This is philadelphia county. We still have a lot to come in you saw it just updated again and if he wins by 70 this all of these counties, thats philadelphia county, this is delaware county. You can see 85 in there heres bucks county, still 8 more percent to go there this is montgomery county, 95 in the fact of the matter is if the trends continue, if the trends continue, this date this commonwealth could very well go to Vice President biden. Lets look at arizona now. Arizona is another state that weve been watching and to get to that i think i double click here well get there. This is arizona. Statewide, 86 in. Vice President Biden is winning by 65,000 votes. Arizona is one that as you know some have called, we have not, because the data isnt there to support it arizona could go either way and thats why the nbc news decision desk has decided that fornow its too close to call now lets take a look at the state of georgia in the state of georgia, here are the numbers now. The president is now winning by 3,635 votes. Every time there is an update from the state of georgia, it gets closer and closer we still have 2 to go were still waiting on these look at the area around savannah 95 here but the president has a clear historic lead throughout all of this in addition, here in liberty county, 99 in now and the area around augusta, georgia, same thing. You can see where there are pockets where there is still a lot theres still a lot of votes to come in dekalb county, georgia, atlanta, is one of them and heres another in Fulton County, georgia. Many more votes to be counted in the state of georgia now, lets look at the state of nevada in nevada, the statewide poll has 89 of all of the votes in, have been biden is leading here and here in washo kobe bryant, 94 of the vote in, expecting more tonight they say there are 189,000 ballots left, 09 in heavily democratic clark county. Thats las vegas and 88 are in Vice President biden has a lead here and because these are mailin ballots, thats expected to continue. Now, lets look at North CarolinaNorth Carolina has another week and i think they have a full screen of North Carolina to show you. Theres another week to go in North Carolina because of delays itll be november the 13th before the rest before the full tranche of votes come in from the state of North Carolina so one week from today President Trump has made his stance clear, stop the count he tweeted that in all caps just this morning his lawyers keeping up their legal blitz suing to halt ballot counting in states that could tip the election in bidens favor. Its been tense outside ballot counting sites the president s supporters facing off with Vice President bidens supporters one side chanting count every vote and the other side, stop the count. I dont need to back up because its my right. This is my right [ crowd chanting ] corruption. These people dont know what theyre talking about. What are you talking about . Where did you guys come from gentleman. The Trump Campaign made claims without any evidence to support them of voter fraud. You heard it just a moment ago nbc news correspondent Jacob Soboroff demanded proof. Mr. Grenell, acting gnism, where is the evidence of the fraud . You havent presented any evidence of fraud. Where is the evidence they presented no evidence of fraud. So were live on msnbc you said thousands of illegitimate ballots thousands of illegitimate ballots. Where are they. Jacob speaking to craig melvin on our Sister Network msnbc. That was in clark county, nevada the facts, there are no reports of voter fraud in clark county, nevada then theres pennsylvania where the secretary of state said now 100 minutes ago that there has not been one complaint of voter fraud in pennsylvania. No accusations and no investigations we have reporters in key states across the country as the results come in. First to Geoff Bennett at biden headquarters Vice President biden is urging both sides to stay calm and let the process play out reporter thats right, shep. Good evening when we spoke around this time yesterday i was telling you how the mood was one of cautious optimism at this hour this evening they believe victory is imminent best expressed by the candidate himself in remarks he delivered earlier today. Take a look. We have no doubt that when the count is finished senator harris and i will be declared the winners. So i ask everyone to stay calm, all the people to stay calm. The process is working the count is being completed reporter so joe biden there urging calm and the reason why his campaign feels as if he is on good footing is because of all of the data that they are seeing in those states that you just ticked through. They are claiming arizona even though to be clear nbc news, cnbc has not projected that state. They are looking at the vote to come in nevada they feel good about that and pennsylvania, the word earlier today is that they expect by the end of the day and they hope that day is today that pennsylvania will fall to joe biden, elected democrat there in that state tells mike memoli was to celebrate but get ready to work because a lot of work lie as head. Geoff, thanks very much it would be helpful to speak live with the secretary of state of the state of arizona. Because the accusation is in of widespread voter fraud there and well do that right after this announcer live from cnbc headquarters, the news with shepard smith. Continuing coverage of the vote the aftermath and overtime and the count most specifically. Look at the state of arizona now. In the state of arizona, theyre still counting and they will continue to count. Vice President Biden now leads by the numbers you see on your screen and they are working to get the rest of the votes counted in the valley of the sun. Lets drill down here. Lets bring in katie hobbs shes the secretary of state in arizona. Good to see you, maam thank you. Hi. The accusation today from rick grenell from the Trump Campaign, former director of national intelligence, former ambassador of widespread voter fraud speaking specifically to your area. How would you respond to that . There is actually there is absolutely no merit to any claims of widespread astronauter fraud and it is not something we have experienced here. Has one arizonan even one complained to the secretary of States Office or anyone else about voting fraud were actually being flooded with calls and emails right now and i havent had a chance to look at all of them. To your knowledge. Yeah to, my knowledge, we dont have any specific reports of anything specific you have monitors at all of your polling locations, correct . Theyre allowed its up to the county parties to send them and so i dont know that they were at every single one but theyre absolutely allowed. But your poll workers would report such things if they were complained to about them, correct . Oh, absolutely. Absolutely poll workers, their job is to maintain the integrity of the election at each polling site. Theyre such an important part of the process and they are employees who are hired by the counties and theyre required to uphold the laws in terms of elections. There are accusations people are allowed to vote after the polls closed was there one vote cast after the polls closed in your state if somebody is in line at the time that the polls close, if theyre waiting to vote and polls close at 7 00 p. M. , they are allowed to stay in line and cast their ballot if theyre in line when the polls close. I cant confirm that did or didnt happen because i dont know but it is allowed under law and thats the case in most states youve made these appearances on television quite frequently i personally as a matter of opinion here think thats probably a good thing for the people to hear clarity from those in charge ms. Hobbs, what is it like to hear this from the president of the United States on the work you do. Honestly as an election official its really frustrating and it makes our job harder. Secretaries of state and other Election Officials have a responsibility to ensure the integrity of our elections and not only do that but maintain the Publics Trust and confidence in the systems and in this important Democratic Institution and it makes our job so much harder when people like the president are saying who dont even know anything about how these processes work and is frankly just making things up and people believe him and so it just makes our job that much harder. Simokatie hobbs, thanks for r late count when do you believe the count for the day and then into totality may be completed . Is it possible to estimate such a thing . Yes, so Maricopa County is the bulk of where the ballots are, around 300,000 for the state or Maricopa County they are updating their vote totals every day at 7 00 p. M. Arizona time so well see that in a couple of hours and then they said theyll do that every day until theyre done they told us today that they expect to get through the bulk of those ballots this weekend. Katie hobbs, all the best to you and your people working so hard we thank you thank you so much election analysis now, a look at some of the close key states, larry sabato is back with us,ability director of the university of virginia, center for politics and wanted to focus on a few states and we will. You witnessed what all the rest of us never in my 30year career have i ever interrupted a president of the United States and weve held back from doing so over and over and overs while others have but if any other human being were using our platform of influence to lie to our viewers, we would stop them. And, frankly, enough is enough i wonder how you felt about that display. I agree 100 with what y
