bite her again. the fbi released more notes from its now closed investigation of the former secretary of state. those notes reveal a senior state department official tried to strike a deal with the bureau over one of the e-mails. the note suggests there would be something in that deal for the fbi nancy cordes is covering the >> the controversy surrounds one e-mail about the benghazi attacks, the very first of clinton's e-mails to be retroactively classified as secret last year. in direct contradiction of her early claims. >> there is no classified materials. >> according to fbi interviews, clinton's undersecretary, patrick kennedy began pushing security officials to see their way clear to marking the e-mail unclassified. one fbi contact told kennedy he would look into the e-mail matter if kennedy would provide authority concerning the fbi's request to increase its personnel in iraq. the fbi official then called a colleague who told agents he felt pressured to change the classified e-mail to unclassified as part of a quid pro quo. >> it just stinks to no end. >> utah republican jason chaffitz. >> when you have an fbi agent say he was in a quid pro quo discussion with the undersecretary of management at the state department that should scare everybody. >> the fbi says in the end no favors changed hands and the classification level stayed as is. state department spokesman mark toner. this was somehow tit for tat or quid pro quo exchange in that manner really frankly is insulting. >> the fbi documents include an interview with a diplomatic security agent at the state department. who said clinton frequently and blatantly disregarded security protocols. when traveling overseas for instance, clinton often refused to ride in the armored limousine with the local u.s. ambassador. opting instead to ride with long-time aide huma abedin, a practice that frequently resulted in cmplaints by ambassadors who were insulted and embarrassed by this breach of protocol. >> nancy, tell us what has the clinton campaign had to say about all this today? >> scott, they say the is well known that state department officials thought that clinton's e-mails were being overclassified and fought the intelligence community on that matter all last year. about this conversation involving undersecretary kennedy, but they point out that even the fbi appears to have concluded that there was no quid pro quo. >> nancy cordes, thank you. 22 days before the election. our new cbs news poll gives clinton a nine-point lead. 82% of voters told us this campaign is more

are being processed for voting purposes. he is provided no evidence for either charge. but a study by the brennan center for justice found the average american was more likely struck by lightning than cast a fraudulent ballot. another study found 31 incidents of voter fraud out of 1 billion votes cast from 2000 to 2014. we put the question to ohio republican secretary of state john husted responsible for ensuring a fair election in the battleground state. >> there is a difference between an individual random act and a systemic problem. and we do not have any systemic problems i am not aware of any systemic problem in any state in the country. idea of building a national campaign where you are suggesting that the elections process itself 'tis rigged is an irresponsible comment. >> in previous close presidential elections, the losing candidates have graciously conceded for the good scott, one presidential historian told us, trump gives every impression of doing the opposite in this, the hiss tore can said could be the most disturbing aspect of his entire campaign. >> major garrett in our washington newsroom. thank you. >> well perhaps a more serious threat against the

gerasimov wrote of using propaganda tactics to turn a state into a victim of foreign intervention causing it to sink into a web of chaos. adam myers, head of intelligence for cybersecurity firm, crowdstrike says, gerasimov's doctrine behind the recent hacks of election data bases and >> imagine on election nights if reports come out that cause people to think the results of the election are questionable. >> myers and u.s. government officials fear that's what the russians will try to do. >> all they need to do is cause us to question the results that come back from one district and one state that could trigger enough react, that we might call for say complete recount. >> helen purcell, the elections recorder, says an easy way to stop the hackers is to keep the voting machines offline. >> even on our touch screen machines, you have a tape of everything that happens on that machine. that can be verified later. >> u.s. officials accuse the russians of using similar tactics in

it was blown up by an anti-tank missile. >> isis doesn't fight as well it used to. and their morale is down, colonel genergadi told us. that's why they're using more suicide bombers. but a desperate
