closing airports and highways. the hello, i'm christine one day. there's just one day to go until the us presidential election with polls showing it's a votes to close to pool. but it's coming to harris for the democrats and donald trump, for the republicans, making a final push across the key battleground states, paris maid, who, closing fits on sunday at around me in the same state of michigan. she'll spin monday in pennsylvania and behold a late night randy. they would sit overseas including oprah winfrey. trump meanwhile ended sunday nice with a riley in georgia having already visited pennsylvania and north carolina. earlier in the day, he will be back in north carolina on monday, before heading to to more sling states. tens of millions of us versus have cost

any ballots in an election which is shaping up to be extremely close, both in battle, ground states and at the national level. on the eve of election day, millions of americans have already made the presidential pick. people in ohio queued for hours on sunday, determined to cost ballots before early voting closed. i mean, we're here cuz like it's really crucially important. like, yeah, so many rights are at stake right now. gay re submitting rates. everyone's rates, immigration, so it's a big deal. so i've been in line for about 2 and a half hours and i wanted to do early voting. realize when i got here that probably a lot of other people had the same idea as well. we thought it, it was great. i feel gratified. i feel satisfied, and i'm proud that you know we, we added on voice more than $77000000.00 americans have cost yearly votes with so

many ballots already in some official, st boots and states like georgia could be a ghost town on tuesday. georgia is one of 7 swing states likely to be crucial to the election along with michigan, nevada, north carolina, wisconsin, arizona. and what could be the closest contestable pennsylvania poles there, but the race on the nice edge i hope that we're able to take and have an honest, good election, a fair election. and i hope trump wins that i think they really are learning a lot of the policies of hairs. and the more they learn, the more they're changing their boat. and there's a lot of independence that i've talked to that are leaning toward terrace. so i feel good, i do feel good about it. i don't want this extreme is right in the left side. i want people to be able to talk to one another again in a way that's respectful and,

you know, people to get along again. and i think we're hitting this turning point where we can have that again. the well minis always has nervously anticipating election day a, when a may not be declared quickly. both camps have people on the ground monitoring the vote. security measures of being put in place in washington in case of any unrest. it could take days for a final results to be consumed. now with a gap in election polls raise a thing. both republicans and democrats have been prepaying legal strategies to help them get the result. they wanted to take a look at what their lawyers have been up to and how it might affect the results working for every vote, even if but in the battleground state of michigan. there it hasn't just been about getting voters to the polls that matters this year. there's also a fight to legally define which both account after the ballots are cast. across

michigan and other swing states, republicans and allied groups have filed well over a 100 lawsuits to limit the number of votes that can be counted. they say that's necessary to fight election fraud. trump's allies falsely claim here, but his loss to joe biden in 2020 was due to voter fraud. but courts rejected over 60 lawsuits, filed by republican allied lawyers after the election. many of the suits cited conspiracy theories. and some of the lawyers involved including former new york mayor rudy giuliani lost their legal licenses after avenue. but it's clear why so many republicans had been pursuing this strategy. with the closely divided the electorate in the swing states getting some ballots disqualified, could swing the election. so let's take a look at the republican strategy and 3 key states, michigan, pennsylvania and arizona. in michigan,

the republicans have targeted voter registration efforts. they've tried to disqualify mobile voting sites like vans, meant to make it easier for voters and underserved areas to cast a ballot and they worked to tighten the restrictions on may when ballots. similar efforts are underway in pennsylvania with republican last it's challenging mail voting rules and the ability of voters to correct mistakes on their ballots. for instance, filling in the wrong date in arizona, the republicans have filed one of their most aggressive challenges. arguing that courts should be able to toss out election results if irregularities are detected. those irregularities cover so many possibilities that a potentially huge number of votes could be disqualified. democratic campaign, lawyers are fighting or have promised a fight. each of these suits challenges to those rulings. you could send one or more cases all the way to the supreme court of it, which has 3 members appointed by republicans candidate donald trump and has favored

him in recent decisions. and that could mean that the results of the election won't be known for some time. meanwhile, over the past 4 years, the republican legal strategy has convinced many in their base and beyond that the voting system is fundamentally corrupt. trump, himself has threatened to jail election officials as well as political opponents if he wins. and if you lose, as he said, he won't accept the results. that's a road america has been down before on january 6th, 2021. but this time around, it could lead somewhere different. and for warren, this i am joined by brit shaffer who's joining me from washington dc. he is a senior fellow at the gym and marshall funds alliance for securing democracy. who specializes in this information and or say, or for a terry and interference, welcome to dw, right?

it's good to have you. so we've just seen in our pro, it's the legal if it's by the republican policy in battle, ground states to prevent output votes or fraud. now the quotes rejected no less than 60 of these claims off to the 2020 election. why there's so many americans still not trust the election system? yeah, i think it really comes from the top of the ticket and we've seen this messaging now not just for 4 years, but really for 8 years. and so there's been a sort of snowball effect of casting doubt on the gym sea of elections and casting down on the process. and so in some ways, you kind of can't ring that bell at this point. so it's very much embedded in at least part of the g o p strategy to cast out about the prophecies to cast out about the legitimacy of elections. and obviously to t up some legal challenges in case tuesday doesn't go the way that they hope so, but just just perhaps maybe under school that within with some of the evidence you've seen that there is indeed as you're putting it, a deliberate,

if it's under maine, say undermine faith in the election system in the united states. yeah, i mean we, we've seen it obviously from certain parts of the g o, p and the trump campaign. but there's also been a bit of a cottage industry that has popped up over the past 4 years, around election integrity or so called election integrity efforts. so these are people outside of the campaigns who have gone state by state sort of ginning up conspiracies about widespread voter fraud about non citizens voting and math about problems with machines, with a balance of problems with mail and voting. and so all of these things have just picked up momentum over time. so the narrative that we're seeing right now, these have been constants now for 4 years, we're not seeing much difference. the difference is a much greater percentage of americans are skeptical about elections and how they're administered. then they were even 4 years ago from, from everything else is observed pertaining to this information. who's pushing the

disinformation in this election? is it coming from both sides? the republicans and the democrats and, and some of the external sources. this is largely domestically driven. unfortunately, when we look at social media, when we look at the key influencers around casting doubt related to the election, these are coming from known americans that said our foreign adversaries have also weaponized these debates. so we see have seen russian linked actors in the past couple of weeks, spreading false accusations around voter fraud, including cutting out 2 videos that are entirely fabricated. one in pennsylvania that appeared to show the election workers ripping of ballots. another one in georgia where they said haitian immigrants were voting in the election. these things weren't were not true. they were entirely made up. the intelligence community has linked it to russia. so russia takes excuse from americans. they're very parasitic, and they're just information. so when they see that this is clearly a divisive issue, they latch onto it,

they help to amplify it. and in some cases they're actually generating some of this, this information. a bright annual. what do you distinguish between 3 periods when false or misleading information? 10 has and effects you say before the election day off and off to the election. tell us what you're worried about most and why we're worried about the after period . so we're actually already in the election period because with early voting so many americans have already passed the ballot. we've already seen the information environment shift. so before the election we see a tax on candidates. we see a what the tax on political parties on their policies during the election. we see a tax on the process. and so we're already in that period. obviously, tuesday is the big day, but millions and millions americans of already voted. so already seeing the kind of disinformation that it is attacking the process, but it really is the period after work. very, very concerned about obviously january 6 a, you know, what has led to this,

the sort of long standing mistrust that the results. so we're really concerned about what we're going to see after tuesday when the votes are counting, when we're going to see a spike and this information about the election itself, you mentioned january 6. my next question was really going to be a few things that there is a potential for for violence, the kind of which we sold on january 6th, 2021. unfortunately, i do think there's a potential for that. i hope that there isn't. i hope we're not going to see that again, obviously, but i think clearly there is the potential for that to happen. i mean, the groundwork has been laid. i think the difference now is that law enforcement is not gonna be caught flat footed. i don't think anyone really expected what happened on january 6th to happen, and now people are prepared for it. so there's been much better preparation this time around. election officials are much better prepared to communicate out results to deal with missing this information locally. and i think at the federal level, law enforcement is far better prepared for the kind of political by ones that we

saw on january 6th. but again, i hope it doesn't happen this time. yeah. and, and just perhaps maybe quickly bringing us to a close. um, how, how confident are you that this presidential election will reflect the will of the people? i'm very confident and we've done a lot of work over the past 6 months over the past, actually 4 years working with election officials. these are very dedicated individuals from both the left and the right. i mean, i think one of the things, it's really unfortunate is a lot of the people who have been caught up in these conspiracy theories who've been attacked, who've had their families threatened their republicans for doing their job and election officials. i have full trust in them, and again, if there are issues, there are legal processes to go through. they're always lawsuits. so there are ways to challenge this, but i trust that election officials are going to do it right. the counts going to be accurate and we're going to know the true winner, maybe not on wednesday, but at least in a, in a week or so. all right, that is spread schaefer from the gym and national funds alliance for securing

democracy. we appreciate your time. thank you, bruce. thank you. now, severe with the in spain has forced the cancellation of flights to buffalo and as torrential rain panels, the province of catalonia, about 50 flights choose to take or from the o problem. it was up in to fix it by flooding road and rail travel has also been disrupted. spain is already prepping with the ultimate, of extreme flooding in the east of the country last week. at least 217 people killed mostly in the valencia problems. rescue is all continuing to search for bodies inside houses and cause. 7500 troops had been deployed to help in affected areas. and these people from the general steven book and joins me now from buffalo. and it's good to see stephen. so we're hearing that in boston on the way you why you're experiencing torrential rains. what is, what is the situation there and how is it being managed?

as of right now, the reins of the stall, um, but there was a brand very, very heavily this morning. and uh, as so to show it in your pictures and particularly in the south of the city near the airport. so one of the main approach rose to the, to the city is, is not possible it's on the volta and the airport is still a mess as a board for that. and as well as the 50 flights canceled. i'm thinking of a 7 theatre been diverse is and the right ways the roles are not functioning. however, i think the response has been, has been rented. we were given an alert. um, pretty much just before that happens. okay. um. and which was perhaps some of the lives of people who might have already started on jonas. but certainly it's been because of what happened at the scene. i think the emergency forces have been well prepared for this. and stephen, speaking of valencia people,

they are very angry over the inadequate reaction and response to the flood as lost . uh and now the politicians of a blaming each other to yes, well, what colors must on who is the president of valencia? and whose handling of this crisis has been generally viewed as, as spectacular, encompass and has now said, 1st of all, he's by the name of the central government for not providing the resources, although it was actually up to him to us, to the resources under the existing protocols and then he blamed by the water board for saying that the, that they had issued a warning to which the water board reply to it isn't the brief to issue warnings. it's the government that does that. they simply provide the government with information about right in full and the condition of the rivers. meanwhile, muscle in the presence of lenses own political boss has effectively dis,

own tim, um, by saying to the press, the spanish government, please do declare a state of emergency which as well. and that's on really probably should have done . the 1st place is to stay in england and streaming. can you give us a sense of what people are still facing on the ground? they very quickly are they from so you know, people are still without power, without drinking water. food supplies are arrested losses. so being managed by volunteers rather than by any of any other official body. and of course the clear up is going to take weeks for months. so there's a long way to go. all right, that is featured miss stevens. i have been talking to us from boston knowing that we appreciate that, steven. thank you. smell smolders is pro western present. my assigned to has one is 2nd to him, an office in a closely watched presidential election with any one of the ballots counted central

he worked with so many people and he had deep bonds with these people. so one of those people, michael jackson, who was mentioned and that success with the album thriller was due to their chemistry, they had a really deep connection and not something he was known for. he, he, you know, blended genres often he worked with people across different musical style. so that's a real big key to success is the collaborative. a collaborative effort that he, yeah. and, and he also compose soundtracks for more than 50 films and tv programs. right. and he was nominated for a number of ask, is what impact did he have? would you say brianna on pop culture and beyond? yeah, that's a great question. i mean, quincy jones was actually nominated for 7 oscars for over 55 years, which is phenomenal. but he worked on the waves, which is where he met michael jackson, and then he also, you know, went on to work on the color purple. so this is another example of his, you know, general bending and going outside of just one industry or one. you know,

area of music but, but that particular, you know, style, you know, cross cultural difference or making music that crosses cultures or doing projects that, you know, go across different genres is something you see a lot today. so that's something he definitely established. and then there he worked on the fresh prince of bel air even with will smith and help punch his career. and that's something that's very culturally relevant today was a a resurgence and seeing references there. so yeah, and maybe just get a sense of what, what did he, how did he spend, he's lost his, what does he been doing to? yeah, he actually, um, was told he had to stop playing the trumpet a couple times for his health. so he really, you know, was kind of a strong work ethic and some called him a workaholic, even himself. so he was still very much around the music industry, living in l. a. she was very close by, but he even traveled to europe to music festivals. and switzerland and such. so he was in a very much a, a relevant fingers still to this day and something that people around the world

felt. so it's clear that his his way to see what last, throughout its real time. yeah. i just remember this one quick way he said, and when you retire you, you've traveled the world and you do it what you love and i'm doing that anyway. so they sent me to retire. so just to the point who he really worked, so the really and so just give us a sense of how people are, you know, talking about his legacy today. i'm actually as low as on social media, young people, you know, people in the industry, what have you been seeing? exactly. people are flocking the x and, and instagram and really pulling their hearts out for him. and it's interesting, particularly we get to see the black community really, how they've been inspired by him and seen him as a single block success story in the us. and this is something i can relate to myself as a block american. so it's something we've always just known his name, he's a household name, and if he can do it, you know, we can do it is kind of how it's always felt. so that's kind interesting, rougher a little cool today actually even said that he has been many things, but he's been a mentor. he's been a role model and the king. and he also said that music isn't music without him. and

i think that's a sentiment, a lot of people feel and i'm gonna put you on this punch and ask you, what was your, your favorite hit song? well, what was it that you love it because he just, if i'm going to have to say anything, michael jackson and we're done, i think of something that's like ingrained and in my memory. and i can't. yeah, think of anything else. i think that's. that's the big one. i kind of what a legend. well, we on a, it kind of thank you so much for coming to see do talking to us about this relation . appreciated a and a reminder of our top story here on t w with just one day. so go until the us presidential elections boats coming to higher sense. donald trump on making a final push across, keep special round space. tens of millions of americans have or rated cost to bend in cnn election. that there is a d, p po, notarized nation. that's who a news update that's next as science towed,
