that is on the west coast or a ton of times convicted felons. there's already been presidents. you'll used to hearing it by now, but this election is still too close to call and might even be decided by the courts rather than by voters. and then what i'm feel gail in the lane and this is the day the in less than 90 days is you know, being him or me sitting in the oval office. the stakes could be higher choice could be clear. we have an opportunity in the election to finally turn the page. so let's get out there a proposal for a candidate of change. let's get donald j trump, back in the white house. so with you about on tuesday, we're going to fire cabala, and we're going to save america. we will,

when you get the, also, on the day his recordings revolutionize the music, the world of entertainment one's us song right to and for juice, quincy jones. so he's been nominated for 79 grammy's and 127 annual. yeah, he also produced the biggest selling album all time and the biggest selling single of all time. so no big deal. welcome to the day. it's just a matter of hours now until the 1st polling stations opened in the us presidential election. and after months of campaigning, the polls indicated to advice that he's still too close to call. between the vice president comm, a harris and former president, donald trump. the kinds of that some spend the final day before the election day

trying to radi. supposing water expect it to be the decisive swing states. it still will be election will come down to which side does a better job of getting their supporters to actually turn out and vote. surveys show us votes as top concerns, all the economy and immigration issues, which donald trump has come pained on and tried to profit from that. and the final day is that based campaign. he's remarks about women and other groups have been seized on by his opponent. calmly, harris was thought to remind folks as why she says, mister trump is unfit for office. i'm going to do it whether the women like it or not. i've got to protect them. i'm going to protect them from migraines coming in. i've got to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit a hit us with missiles and lots of other things. so he said that he will do what he wants. now i'm about to quote, whatever the women like it or not the

same person who said that women should be punished for their choice is small piece of matthew is a professor of political science at cyprus college in long beach california. 2 years ago, he was a democratic candidate for congress and welcome back to dw professor. so the po side, the race has been tied for weeks. why do you think maybe the content that has been able to gain even a slight advantage? well, this is divided country is, you know, and the people on 2 sides here about what type of country they want, a trump in version or some, all harris was present. here's the version and it's very strong feelings on both sides. but i must say that if you look at the certain groups within that point, you'll find that to them, most of the harris is actually gained a lot of support with women, especially above the age of 65. but women voters or colleges,

the kids are flocking to her and larger numbers. and then trump has gathered support among young men, bailey, african american, and latino young man. so one group is a hired turn our group and the other. so there may be some shifting gloria that we can see in the old right now, depending on who will turn out on the election day on the swing states or the kids . you know, we can talk about that in a few minutes, right? let's, let's just stay with the person you knew raised. but what is the appeal? why is trump appealing to men? why is a, why is harris appealing to women? a little heresy. booming because 1st of all, the issue of choice on abortion for example, that's the biggest issue for women, but also the issue of being able to control their own futures and having economic support for that. last problem here is that you put forward with programs, especially on the choice issue that will guarantee to reverse the re weighed decision. so i will american living there, try to have a choice on abortion and a couple other people that have freedom across the country. i'm a trustworthy but it was a man. yeah, well trump with a man,

he's putting forth the image of a much he's most, some kind of a us, you know, that man have to stuff with their rights, so they've been travel upon and cetera. and he's trying to go along these tv all these radio shows that are almost a young man, a 19 to 30 and goes when i, when i feel maybe a green do some ways i left out. and he's trying to reach them and get them to support him and saying he'll make down great again. and i think that's appealing to some of them. and then there was an interesting, she hasn't the advantage of 16 points where the women was a larger group and he has to be eligible to 18 points with a man which is a smaller group. so we'll see how that balances us, the 34 percent gender gap. biggest learned to modern history in such a close me for and contentious context. do you see being decided that the ballot box so box in the supreme court might be 2000 to 100 and chad selection that george w bush was yes, we still remember that and it was probably a mess, but i do believe that the ballot will make

a big difference because of the swing states, certain motors will come off. for example, the puerto rican american voters are offended by the comments coming out at the front rally above. for it could be an island of garbus. it's been fired off the about $400000.00. puerto rican voters in pennsylvania is a top swing state. those people might destroy the larger numbers and what was expected of lots of poor. somebody has low coming out a website for of, of trump that want. lots of puerto ricans, when trump talks about immigration and my guns, i, he's not talking about me as some of them are coming out for a majority or not. and it looks like you left the community, the majority of them about 60 percent off or tumbling, harris about 40 percent for trial with a still a, a large that's actually a treatment for the front cover of the past. with vitamin from either end was even larger, so i would say some of the latino to me men especially are coming up for trunk. but the larger numbers for harris at this point that's going to make a difference. it's going to be very close. i cannot guarantee who's going on at this point to be honest as and so here's what sort of role do you see the quotes

play. and because we've seen a team trump sort of getting, getting ready to contest and rectify the mistakes they made last time. when they went to court, i kept losing these cases. they lost all the case of 60 to the last time, but now they're preparing and i don't know if they're really successful this time again. i don't think so. but bill could be, they can hold up the whole works by challenging these are the results in court, and they're hoping to have a course that will be favorable to our, the ruling in their favor. but i'm not really thinking that the courts will do that . this time the, they're probably going to let it happen with the way the certification goes. then we'll have to wait and see if they get more involved. and obviously the challenge it is going to be trace front of the, stabilize the, the results to say that if he doesn't, when there was cheating, he's actually come out and said that he said he'll accept the results if he went. so that's not a good way to look at the democracy. ok, i'm, let's then talk about the nice. lemme watching the election returns come in on

tuesday night when you be looking to do something for the 1st clues to the results . i was east coast. of course, were there was a 3 hours ahead of those polls will close. earlier i'll be looking for north carolina, particularly. looks like was present here, is that you called at the trump there, but from maybe it had it in some polls by one or 2 percent was one percent north carolina. we're really going to georgia is east coast state, which is huge. if you is georgia to north carolina and pennsylvania, he's on the road to winning actually of course, the blue law states into michigan that's also on the midwest. that will be looking at those states for to swing states to see how the numbers are adding up. it was loading, so that will be very interesting and challenging for us to come up with the results early. it probably won't be till wednesday, but we'll understand who actually has won the election auto sams roster. i can look at the closing guys, housing authority, some references to violence against opponents, such as liz cheney on the, against the media. how concerned to you about the possibility of unrest if they say election is as close as the polls suggest?

i am concerned about as many other people around lives that are concerned because this is on call for its not allow should not be allowed to democracy for candidates or talk this way when he talks about his cheney and refers to guns and rifles. and he also talks about the media ends, him getting shot at through the mediator with the media will do that in front of him. it's a terrible kind of details he's bringing up and democracy requires that the losing side except the results. so the rule of law can be implemented in this case, is the stabilizing of those kinds of comments. i americans throw somebody's low bulls, if not a group of people that support it might take them to the hands of it lose. and it would be very dangerous for america, and people should be prepared the social, the government to handle expensive. that's not forgotten. the other elections for congress, which the next president will have to work with to get legislation passed. how is that to fight for control shaping on this is looking quite competitive actually. and there's a chance that the democrats could take back the house,

but it's only have to wait a few seeds like 3 or 4 seats to get you become majority party in the house and said, they're gonna hold on policies again, it has to do with the swing states and also the, the fact that right now, the generic polls the same. most america, people want the democrats to be the majority party, but it'd be nice to see should harris actually gets his, our own party to back for by winning. it still be very close concepts, the race races, but trump is not helping those down valid races to do well because he's coming up with some very unusual comments. i really need to turn off a lot of people. okay, thanks for talking to us or not to take the professor. peter mathews from cyprus college. maybe. thanks my pleasure. thank you. well, with such a raise a been a margin and election polls of republicans and democrats have been preparing legal strategies to help them get the result they want. let's take a look at what that lawyers have been up to and how that might affect the results. working for every vote is even is but in the battle ground 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 or bid his loss to joe biden. in 2020 was due to voter fraud. liked about 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 have been pursuing this strategy with a closely divided electorate in the swing states getting some ballots disqualified,

could swing the election. 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 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. the bread schafer is a senior fellow at the gym and marshall funds alliance for security. democracy has

a particular interest in this information and or for a terry an interference. the outlines, these biggest concerns about this election. we're worried about the after period, so we're actually already in the election period because was early voting so many americans have already cast 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 have already voted. so we're already seeing that kind of just information that is attacking the process, but it really is the period after we're very, very concerned about obviously january 6, a, you know, 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. as brett shy set now in

the aftermath of a 2020 election when donald trump last and the support is falsely claimed, voted for many republican states tightened the voting laws. one of those was georgia, which has a not black population. that is one of these. she is closely watch swing states in 2021, georgia state, lawmakers and i did a series of measures which among other things made it illegal to hand that wanted to focus, waiting in line. critics say it's an example of voting restrictions, which unfairly talk it. minority communities christine slow, so is an associate professor of political science at boston university where she studies black voting habits and any quality issues. she joins us tonight from baltimore. welcome to d. w. at the georgia example i just cited to is one of the most egregious we could find what's the state, the purpose of a restriction like this of the restrictions that we have on

voting and barrier are to protect the, the send the of the, that democratic process here in the united states, so we want to ensure that folks who are voting in are participating with the actual process are citizens and are registered in qualified to vote. however, when we take in context the history of voting restriction, the united states, we see that they haven't been applied equally and fairly across racial groups, including for african american voters. for internet voters, for voters, for whom english is not their 1st language selling theory. they uh, protect the ballot box, but in practice we see they often restrict and harm different individuals who are looking to catch the balance. right, and do these, do we presume that these restrictions tend to be implemented by one side?

is this a republican phenomenon or a democratic that is, let's just doing this as well. i think across both parties, it's particularly important that the electrical process is free and fair. however, if we look across different states where we seized employee for admission of voting laws, restrictive building laws, those tend to be more conservative leading states. however, this is not the case across the united states as some places that are heavily democratic. also have boating practices are restricted building laws in place, so it, it does varied, but it's important to keep in mind that it's not simply controlled by one side. is it something that occurs at the state level? right? and so the, it's like looking at best from outside is it you sort of looking at anything? well, obviously, how is this legal, even if you say you want to your stated objects, objects is to preserve the sanctity of the democratic process, you know,

handing out bottles of water on the, on a, on a hot day. 11, that's how that would damage democracy. yeah, so the georgia um and some of the old one was particularly agreed there's because like you said, it targeted something as simple as handed out water and snacks. a hot day for folks waiting in line to vote. but it, it does vary in terms of the ferry or the restrictive minutes of the ballot. so initially, those laws may be put in place to protect interference with the electrical process . just going back a years ago, we would notice, or historians have documented that people would try to intimidate voters in line. so the, the spot behind the rule or the bank behind the restriction is that to not interact with people while they are waiting to vote. it's just in practice, it's something as simple as passing out snacks versus handing out literature or incorrect information to dissuade people from voting and other states that you have

particular concerns about. i think for many americans, every state is something that has great, great concern. but if we think about which states, again are, are the 7 battleground states in this election, vice president here is and also, former president transferred, visited georgia extensively within the past few weeks to mobilize voters in georgia . and if we can call around the 2020 election, i'm george is, you know, uh, president trump, at the time, had called to try to change or make changes to the certification of the electoral process in georgia. so i think rightfully so, there's a lot of attention on the georgia, especially because of the concentration of african american voters in fulton county and in other counties in georgia that are, you know, hoping to deliver to or vote democratic for president or vice president here. smile

as you will get too excited about some racism her go. so it is played by georgia also, and there's been a lot of activity in pennsylvania. there is a close date every state, but there's a close margin restrictive voting rules can certainly turn over at the, the outcome in the election. so these are all things i think everyone is paying attention to the so despite base of georgia and other states have reported rec, what turn out amongst all the villages they see that there's main concerns about the new rules were exaggerated. oh, absolutely not. i think when we look at early turn out in georgia, why do we know most african american voters prefer voting on election day compared to early boeing methods? so the scene and busy as a i'm to participate in the election before the election day, i think has been great to watch. but it's also know this is not to say the election

day. we can see a completely different crowd of voters, but also a completely different set of rules in place or a completely different process. let me not say rules a completely different process of folks having to wait in line for those people who did not participate in the early voting. which ended yesterday. so just because we saw him do the adam does not mean that barriers on a precedent is just people chose to vote early as compared to potentially encountering longer lines one election day. and do we see moves amongst the of black voters and, and people of color to try and count to these efforts that suppression? right, absolutely. i think on the, on the ground here in the united states, we've seen one large legacy civil rights organizations like the national association rate, then advancement of colored people. we've seen on the historic roberts and fraternities of the divine 9 particularly work to ensure that people have that

resources. if they do encounter intimidation at oppose their numbers to call. there are folks volunteering to work as co workers. there are lawyers that are organizing for what anticipated and challenges people. facebook folks have already thought through ways to a voters on, on election day, particularly students across college campuses as well. okay. thank you for that associate to professor christine spelled different boston university. thank so much . thank you so much. i a legendary us music producer and song writer, quincy, john says die. he was 91, a 7 decade career, begun in chicago, and liked him to become one of the most renowned music produces of the modern era. he worked with a wide range of stars including frank sinatra. i've read the franklin and stevie wonder and he produced the best selling album a full time michael jackson's thriller in his hand. present several on some of the
