a few parties can't solve this problem, usually they submit the issue to the electoral court, the electoralrt also says whether will hear the matter or the matter should be submitted to higher courts. what is the average participation rate in parliamentary elections in your country? we believe that this decrease is closely related to the decrease in support for the ruling party of the african national congress, but on the other hand, this is the people's dissatisfaction with electoral policies and promises, because political parties have made many, many promises to the people of south africa over the years, and we usually, they don't keep their promises, after every election that is held once every 5 years , they come through 5-year political programs they make new promises, but after holding the elections, they disappear. therefore, my point of view is that because there are many risks in this year's elections , the voter participation rate may increase slightly, but we also have a significant part of the advertisements that can be seen on all the streets in the big media and television an

courts as necessary, each electoral court is formed to resolve disputes at the national level, headed by a judge from the supreme court, and as a result, the president of the court must be a judicial person. there is a complicated procedure where a person sends a case to the court , presents the evidence and explains what was wrong with the election. anyone who thinks that the law has been violated during voting can submit a complaint to the election commission, and this commission will then set up a court. later too court within the time limit set for him about the complaint. if he is dissatisfied with the decision of the court, he can take his complaint to the supreme court of pakistan, and the supreme court of pakistan will decide whether the dispute is between the plaintiff and a candidate or between two election candidates. on average, the participation rate in. what is the percentage of parliamentary elections in your country? we are talking about pakistan , we are talking about four states and islamabad, which is a federal area. the level of participation in each state is diffe

he said that trump doesn't have to have the courts declare him the winner of the vote. he just needs to convince republican legislatures that the election was systematically rigged. but it's impossible to run again so that they would appoint the electors instead. >> so andrew, what is chesebro saying about this now >> so we reached out to chesebro is attorney, and they did tell cnn that there is clearly a conflict between some of these tweets and what he told the prosecutors. and he told they've told cnn that they've actually gone on back to the state. investigators to correct the record. and in a statement to cnn, chesbro's attorney said that chesebro, when he was doing volunteer work, for the campaign, he was very specific and hunker down into being the lawyer that he is and gave specific kinds of legal advice based on the things that he thought were legitimate legal challenges versus badger pundit who is this other guy over there just being a goof according to his attorney let that be a warning to folks out there with burner

chief justice and may it please the court, exercising its far reaching powers under the electors clause, colorado's legislature directed courts to resolve any challenges to the listing of any candidate on the presidential primary ballot before coloradans cast their votes. despite this law, petitioner contends colorado must put him on the ballot because of the possibility there would be a super majority act of congress to remove his legal disability. under this theory, colorado and every other state would have to indulge this possibility not just for the primary but through the general election and up to the moment an ineligible candidate was sworn into office. nothing in the constitution strips the states of their power to direct presidential elections in this way. this case was handled capably and efficiently by the colorado courts under a process that we used to decide ballot challenges for more than a century. as everyone agrees, the court now has the record that it needs to resolve these important issues. i welcome your questions. >> is there an express provision with respect -- tha

the supreme court has always looked at the electoral system as a practical matter. as a practical matter, colorado has been doing the right thing, but this court clearly doesn't want to do the right thing, so they're going to throw it back to congress. nothing is going to happen until potentially january 6th unless donald trump is convicted on some of the 91 federal criminal offenses that are outstanding against him in court. >> and a statute did come up, speaking of conviction. there was a seeming attempt to say is there some other remedy other than barring him from the ballot or should there have been another remedy? there is a law, u.s. code 2383. and it is actually the statute about insurrection. whoever incites, insists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the united states or gives aid or comfort there to should be imprisoned more than ten years or both, and shall be incapable of holding any office in the united states. in your view, does that mean that it might have been a mistake for jack smith to not charge him with insurrection? you were an

i think everybody can understand for what it is. 60 federal and state court decisions rejecting every claim of electoral fraud and corruption that were advanced by donald trump and yet still election denialism is at the heart of donald trump's political program and also at the heart of this attack on president biden today. so it's a shameful spectacle, i think. [indiscernible question] mr. raskin: i haven't seen any documents on that, but this is a convicted felon and in prison who they went to see. another star witness in the lineup of the alleged felons and fugitives who make up the lineup for the republicans. that's right. i don't know. i haven't seen any document based upon that. i'm happy to look at it. nobody can tell us what is the high crime or misdemeanor. we told them, sir, that donald trump incited a violent insurrection and mobilized the public evidence and all kinds of evidence that came out later in the bipartisan january 6 committee that documented exactly what donald trump had done. what did joe biden do? nobody can tell us. >> joe biden -- [indiscernible] do you think

brazil's electoral system has come a long way. we have an election court. and we have an election prosecutor. the electoral justice institution has invested a lot in this sector and used many technologies to design advanced voting tariffs. years of this structure we tested. this structure is also used in other countries. now people use electronic devices and vote very easily. there are hackers who try this. hack the network , but the former president of our country was not successful , even though he was elected using the same method and the same network was used in his presidency, he gathered the ambassadors to tell them that this electoral system is safe. it is not , while the same structure has been used in our country for 30 years and he was elected in the same way. in fact, they are challenging the election results drew now the election justice institution has prosecuted him. he used the facilities of the presidential palace to strengthen his position in the next election. if a candidate has used illegal financial resources to buy people's votes, a com

as a result, the supreme court gave in and a third round was announced.ovided for by the constitution or the electoral code of ukraine and, of course, another candidate, yushchenko, won there. the supreme court's decision was illegal. created a completely new legal reality, grossly contrary to the constitution. nevertheless, viktor yanukovych agreed to participate in the third round and even went to the pre-election debates with yushchenko. we all know very well what that revolution led to, but ukraine has always wanted to take farmers to the usa. right? we started with europe and will finish with it. in austria in 2016 the elections did not go well literally. see off the president. the outrageous calm was a bad campaign in two rounds, it seemed boring, the envelopes. the second round of the presidential elections took place on may 22. the independent candidate alexander vanderbelin won, although at first another candidate, norbert hofer, was in the lead, but thanks to votes sent by mail, this method has been allowed since 2007 vander belin won with a mar

remember, there were 60 federal and state court decisions rejecting every claim of electoral fraud and corruption that were advanced by donald trump and the republicans after that election. still election denialism is at the heart of donald trump's political program and also at the heart of this attack on president biden today. it's a shameful spectacle, i think. i haven't seen any documents on that, but this is the convicted felon who is in prison who they went to see. he's another star witness in the lineup of alleged felons and fugitives who make up the lineup for the republicans. that's right. i haven't seen any documentation on that. i'm happy to look at it. again, nobody can tell us what is the high crime or misdemeanor. we told them, sir, that donald trump incite add violent insurrection. we mobilized all of the public evidence. and then there was all kinds of evidence that came out later in the bipartisan january 6 committee that documented exactly what donald trump had done. what did joe biden do? nobody can tell us. >> one of the revelations from the testimony was that joe bi

the court decided in 2020 about whether electors are free to vote however they want, it's now clear that states have the power to tell electors how they must vote. so justice alito asked the question what if after the election, the state legislature doesn't believe the results are accurately reflected in the count of the elector's board? could the legislature just tell the electors that they have to vote for donald trump even though the state went for joe biden? and the problem that we've identified in the book is that seems to be the law as it is right now. no doubt justice kagan did not intend that when she wrote the opinion in the case, but it's where we are and it's one of the things we need to protect against to assure that that game is not played next election. >> and one of trump's most ardent defenders has been talked about as a police running mate. she was asked whether she would have certified the votes on january 6th and here's what she told kaitlan collins. >> i would not have done what mike pence did. i don't think that was the right approach. i specifically stand by wh

the new political reality for an electorate that has stopped trump before. all in starts now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. the right wing dominated the supreme court and gave donald trump a gift. the biggest possible gift anyone could give him. the biggest possible gift they have given him yet. trump in violent coup to overthrow democracy. he rallied a supporter system to destroy the capital and he was indicted by our justice department, representative of us, the people, on four federal felony counts by a grand jury for his role in the insurrection . today, in a single document, the court agreed to consider trump's claim that he is immune from prosecution for the january 6th insurrection, because he was acting in some sense of his official capacity as president. the order itself is not the story. it is the timing. it all comes back to the timing. let's remember that the court case and trial that donald trump over his effort to subvert the constitutional republic was originally set to begin days from now in march. all of that is on hold, b

>> this court emphasized for much of american history state legislatures picked their own electors and assigned their own electors themselves. but that would be much more extraordinary than what we have here, which is simple application of normal state ballot access principles to say that we're only going to put on the ballot an individual who is qualified to assume the office. >> can i ask you again the question that justice gorsuch asked, and you -- to which you responded by citing the de facto officer doctrine, look at that going forward, rather than judging the validity of an act committed between the time when a president allegedly engages in an insurrection and the time when the president leaves office. during that interim period, would it be lawful for military commanders and other officers to disobey orders of the president in question? >> i'm not sure that anything gives military officers the authority to adjudicate effectively the legality of the presidency. >> why not? you say he's disqualified from the moment it happens. now, i understand the de facto officer doctrine might

as a result, the court recognized the decision of the center for electoral commission as lawful; nadezhdinat he intended to appeal this decision as well. reforming the global and international governance system. tensions, these topics will be key at the council of ministers foreign affairs of the group of twenty in rio deneiro, our country is represented at the negotiations by sergei lavrov. we’ll find out all the details right now from our special correspondent natalia solovyova. she communicates directly from brazil. natasha, greetings, what questions does russia raise at the meeting and what other meetings does sergei lavrov have planned? yes, dmitry, hello, the meeting is taking place right now. behind closed doors, the part open to the press was very short, brazil presides, here in its in maura viero's opening remarks, he spoke about how this world needs security, with 170 outstanding wars and conflicts happening right now. at the g20, special attention should be paid to the conflict in ukraine in palestine. the multilateral commissions that currently exist cannot cope with what is ha

in case they won court cases though there would be trump electors available on january 6, when congress certifies the vote, take a listen to this i wanted conditional language and all the states suggest in three times to trump camp in >> december 12, that they make it conditional on winning litigation but on his secret twitter account, he said the courts didn't matter. look at this tweet from november 5, 2020, he says trump doesn't have to get the courts to declare him the winner of the vote. he just needs to convince republican legislatures that the election was systematically rigged. but it's impossible to ron again, so they should appoint electors instead >> so i mean, it's all there. now, how did you connect the dots that this pundit was actually chesebro so it's kind of interesting me and my colleague ali gordan. first off, chesebro references this twitter account in an email exchange with the trump campaign on january 5. so me and my colleague, ali gordan, we started going through the account to see badgerpundit said he was with alex jones on january 6, chesebro was with alex jone

you concerned that she's going to violate a duty, an elector can bring her to court? right. but do your job. so why does the court then have more authority than the secretary to then make that declaration? >> because that is the way that this court, particularly in coon, has interpreted our in the -- interpreted our election code. >> in coon, it was a separate constitutional cause of action. all we are seeking here is to enforce the election code under 11113. so it is not a question of and, and, and just like in hassan, where the qualification of issue is a constitutional one and particularly for federal offices, right? the constitutional qualifications are by definition not set by the state. they're set by our federal constitution, and under u.s. term limits. that is what they are. and so those proceedings occur under 11113, and in kuhn, and as the secretary's brief, in this case, where a issue is the, you -- >> so your position is that the secretary is not bound by this one-page statement and after all of that that the document does not include that you've served tw

this election will come down to 3% to 5% of the electorate and perhaps there's a supreme court ruling on january 6th that is impactful, but perhaps not. >> when we talk about the trump trials, one that was in focus this week was down in georgia where district attorney fani willis took the stand to defend herself against accusations she was having a relationship with one of her top prosecutors nathan wade. the trump team is trying to get her dismissed. let's take a look at that a little bit and discuss it on the other side. >> let's be clear because you lied. this right here, this right here -- no, no, no, no, no. this is the truth and it is a lie. it is a lie. >> miss willis, we're going to take five minutes. >> mara, what was the impact of this moment? this testimony? >> some people felt she was being treated unfairly and other people thought this undermines her case. the big question is will fani wls be remove fwrd this case, which to me is a corroborating case and another way donald trump is trying to change the outcome of the election and throw out millions of people's votes, and

doing the same, thing maybe before the supreme court rules. he's gonna say, i'm gonna peel what stormy daniels. >> with, me i think my reaction to it isn't necessarily for the implication that it means for the electoral chances of donald trump. it is a level of craziness from the court. that, they are moving at the. space that i find deeply unnerving. you know what i mean? it's because, the court, but the thing about the court as they move fast, when they want to move fast and they move so when they want to move. so >> this particular court does never move that fast. when we look at the court that was filed against nixon, we look again bush records. but, this court, it is fast for. them, but i do agree that this is the most isolated court in the history of the court. so, they think that this is going to appear to be fast. >> you just referenced a knicks in court. and, he spent a lot of time on that, period. so, kate my wife who has forgotten about law more than 11. no and basically just shut off for everything pointed out to me today that, in

voted against the electors. >> you said there, you voted against certifying the electors from two states, arizona and pennsylvania, i should note here the courts threw out every legal challenge to the results in those states, biden did win the election, so what is the possible valid legal justification you could of had to block those electors on january 6th? >> the electors act of 1887. saying it is not a ceremonial act but an act of congress that we need to pursue and we had numerous credible allegations of not only election fraud but of state officials making changes in the election process without . >> there is no. >> look. >> congressman, i know you heard it a million times but i will say it again. there is no evidence of election fraud sufficient to change the outcome of the election and on top of that, on top of that, in both of the states that you mentioned the courts threw out challenges to the issues that, the challenges to the issue that you are bringing up. but here is the thing, the reason i want to ask you about this. >> sure. >> part of the thing here is that tim does not t

he's much further away from the electorate.y the court cases and the things you are describing earlier. he is far more extreme, and far more dangerous. his performances far more erratic and disturbing. and he has gone into this madness when he is talking now. i think that they are going to have six things in this election that people are going to come to learn about donald trump. they didn't know about him last time that i think they will make it very difficult for him to win. that he raped e. jean carroll in the department store dressing room. that he oversaw one of the largest financial frauds in american history. that he stole american secrets live with the fbi and share them with other people that he led an insurrection against the united states, -- more money from foreign governments than any family in american history and now we have this ongoing extremism around reproductive freedom and health, that is just shocking. and he singularly responsible for ushering in this kind of assault on women and freedoms. and their perso
