6:00 pm
new york mocked the critics. >> tucker: of course. great to see you. thank you for your vigilance. sean hannity takes over. >> hannity: welcome to hannity. it is 9 p.m. on the east coast, 6:00 p.m. on the west coast. polls in georgia have now been closed for two hours. tonight the vote counting continues. if possible, we will make a call this hour. both races expected to go down to the wire. could be too close to call for sometime to come. now, straight ahead, we'll have a county by county breakdown. bill hemmer, mark levine. eric trump joins us tonight. later we'll preview tomorrow's massive pro trump march in washington. we'll hear from senator ted cruz, leading an effort to force an election audit prior to the electoral votes being compiled by congress. first we turn back to georgia. two separate runoffs will
6:01 pm
determine the balance of power. kelly loeffler and david perdue are standing in the way of a radical far left agenda that would actively work to strip away pretty much all of president trump's historic achievement. tonight's two races could not be any more important. as we speak, all eyes are on dekalb, fulton county, which were wrought with claims of fraud and abuse during the general election. democrats, we've been saying in the leadup to tonight, need a massive turnout in those two counties to win. seems like we're counting fulton county faster than we did on november 3rd. democrats counting on big numbers of mail in ballots, apparently a lot have already been counted. little hard to sort through it all and marred with issues because of georgia's insane dissent decree agreement which the secretary of state went into. kelly loeffler and david perdue
6:02 pm
are hoping to drum up votes across the state. according to every recent state wide poll, both races are either tied or well within the margin of error. buckle up, we may be in for a long night, long morning, maybe beyond. here with the latest from atlanta at the hannity big board, we call it the hemmer board, bill hemmer. now we see the tightening. what shocked me, and if you can explain this, it seems to be the opposite returns coming in early than what we saw on election night. in other words, fulton county, last time i checked, was 80% in. that's not what happened on november 3rd and 4th. >> well, you had a pipe leak or toilet bust or whatever happened two months ago. sean, you know the state well. i'm going to show you some good news for republicans. i'm going to show you some good news for democrats. right now we're starting to see this tighten. few moments ago we were up
6:03 pm
100,000 votes. we just got a number of valid drops north of atlanta, up in the county of cherokee. this was 1% a moment ago, now close to 95%. this is heavily red for republicans, which seems to, let's pop back out here. see this moment right here, sean? this is the difference between ossoff and perdue at the moment. probably ten minutes ago that was 50,000, 60,000. let me clear this and show you warnock. he's been running about, i would say 10,000 to 15,000 votes higher than ossoff the entire night, which i think is interesting. we'll see whether or not that holds. so i will give you, come on back in here. at the moment, perdue has taken a slight edge over ossoff. things are going back and forth. i'll take you around the state, show you what i'm learning.
6:04 pm
some of it's anecdotal. some may mean a lot in the end. let's start in atlanta, fulton county. you mentioned it. 84% reporting. we knew democrats would do well in this country. they're doing that right now with ossoff checking in with close to 75% of the vote. number one populated county in the state out of 159. this is number two populated, that's kalb county. still have a lot of ways to go. 20 years ago this was newt gingrich's home seat. this is dekalb, heavily populated. you're only at 30% of the vote checking in thus far today. round it out, this is gwinnett county. democrats would like this news, 33% reporting and ossoff with a 2:1 lead. now come back to what i just
6:05 pm
said about cherokee. that's county number six. news clicks in for the red team, perdue and loeffler. this is red. it's trending blue. however, david perdue did very well in forsythe60 days ago. got a long way to go here. last night president was in north georgia. let's check this out. i will tell you we're seeing this real-time data, so when it pops up on the board, sean, you're seeing it the first time we are. this is whitfield county, dalton, georgia, where the big rally was last night. more rural, doesn't rank quite as high as some of the other counties, 30 out of 159. we've got a ways to go in this county as well. let me pull out here for a moment. just a second ago in savannah, georgia, chatham county, this has been very slow to report. now you have a big dump here. 40% reporting.
6:06 pm
couple moments ago that was at 1%. we expect this to go favor of the democrats. let's just see. i'll tell you what i'll do. i'll take the map, take you back 60 days ago and show you how chatham county ran. 57.5 for ossoff, perdue 40. today at the moment, you're at 68/31. how does that stack up with raw votes here? 31,000ossoff, 14,500 for perdue. in the end, two months ago, 75,000. we've got a ways to go. several tens of thousands of votes still out here in chatham county, in the southeastern section. i have been waiting on that. trying to figure out what's been happening in savannah. someone suggested two precincts extended their voting. that was reported earlier today. savannah's checking in here. i mentioned republicans can find some good news on this map. democrats, they can find some good news on this map. come down here to macon,
6:07 pm
georgia. some blue votes coming in. at the moment tuft a tick past 9:00 on the east coast. as we're talking, sean, look at this number. the difference, 964 raw votes. are you seeing what i'm seeing? >> hannity: of course. >> 50.0 to 50.0. unbelievable. at the moment. we'll come back. >> hannity: i told everybody all day yesterday leading up to this, my radio show was an hour and a ten minutes. i said probably the votes in this hour and ten minutes will define the winner. that's how close it was. great work at the big board. we'll be checking back in with bill hemmer throughout the night. now we turn from the big board to the white board. karl rove with the very latest election analysis. karl, okay. we got now finally the
6:08 pm
republican votes coming in. seems the way the county went this time is very different than what we saw on november 3rd. >> yeah. we've got fulton county, for example, came in last time i looked, it was 83% in. we saw a lot of the mail-in ballots from the democratic counties in the atlanta metro region come in early, followed by the early vote numbers. here's sort of where we stand right now. with this changing rapidly. this is 15 minutes ago. but 715,000 of the mail-in absentee ballots have been received. there's 1,015 that were remaining. there could be more that show up tonight that were received by 7:00 p.m. but haven't been yet counted in the tally. say there's roughly 325,000 more votes. republicans are getting 30% of those, which means the republicans are likely to see the margin between them and the democrats grow by about 114,000
6:09 pm
more votes by the time you finish counting them. the early in person has been running 51.5 for republicans, 48.5 for democrats. so this has been a little bit of an advantage for the republicans. 1.219 million, another 2 million total. little of what the democrats gained here, about 114,000 they gained will be off set here. the election day, only 288,000 are in and the republicans are taking 74% of them. we don't know how many more there are of those. we know how many people voted by mail because we got their ballots and they've been totalled up. we know virtually, we know exactly how many people voted early because those votes were totalled up each day. we don't know how many more there are of these.
6:10 pm
the republicans need to get to 800,000 plus total election day turnout in order to have enough and say it drops down to 70%. at 800,000, they wipe out whatever advantage the democrats have from their mail-in ballot numbers that are being reported now. this is the number we need to be watching. obviously we'll continue to monitor how well the republicans do or don't do on mail in ballots and percentage wise on the election day. the real key will be what's the volume of people who came out today to vote on election day itself. >> hannity: robert kahale thought the day of the vote needed to be 850,000 for republicans to have the ability to make up the early voting of the democrats. now, 288,000 doesn't come near that number, but we still have a lot of outstanding votes that have yet to be counted day of. we don't know what the final number will be. other people said 900. some thought maybe 1 million
6:11 pm
votes would be needed. there was some projections you and i discussed that it could be as high as 1.1, maybe more. do we have any anecdotal information that would give us any direction as to how many likely day of votes we've had today? >> well, we don't, but we do have some anecdotal evidence. hall county, northwest of atlanta, have 15,000 people vote on election day in november. this afternoon with about an hour left to vote they announced 24,000 people already voted, 9,000 more and still had another hour. putnam county, southeast of atlanta, again, a red county. they announced about an hour, hour and a half they had already crossed over the threshold of the number they cast in november. we've got some other counties that are smaller counties. let me refer to my phone. i'm carrying them around here. >> hannity: no worries. we got you covered, karl.
6:12 pm
>> there we go. too many people are e-mailing me. irwin county, 32% greater turnout today than in november. franklin county, 37% greater turnout today than in november. towns county, 38%, dawson county, 38%. glenn county 35%. not only that, but good totals. glenn county 37,000 votes. that is more than a third more than they had in november. couple of others. miller county, kelly loeffler is getting 77% there, perdue getting 79% there. there are only 176 fewer voters in that county than they had in november. webster county, 56% for loeffler. they are -- perdue got 54% of the vote there in november.
6:13 pm
so not only are we getting a lot of rural counties and smaller counties that are having a heavier turnout, but we're also seeing the percentage that the republicans are getting is running slightly ahead of what they were getting in november. one small county up near the south carolina border cast 10,750 votes in november. it cast 1,000 votes more this time around and both republicans got several points more than they got in november. anecdotal, we'll see how the pattern plays out. you have to think if it's happening in some places, it's happening in other places as well. the numbers that i gave you were largely devoid of cherokee, which is going to be the big republican bastien tonight. >> hannity: i think they're coming in now. we could expect even a big dump on that.
6:14 pm
i don't like to be pollyannish but i hear optimism in you on the potential results. am i misreading what you're saying? >> no. it's going to be really close. fulton is a big county. it's 20% of the state wide vote. if you've got 83% of that in, that means you've still got 4% of the state wide vote out. we got a lot of these smaller counties coming in. they're offsetting tosome degree. the key will be what is the number of people, what's the total number that we see, that turnout today? i think secretary price, who was on earlier today, was right. i think robert kahalee is right. if this is 850,000 or 900,000, the republicans stand an excellent chance of winning, if that's the election day turnout and they keep the numbers they're keeping thus far in the other two categories of mailing, the vote in mailing where
6:15 pm
they're getting 30% less than they got in november and 51.5% which they're getting in the early in person voting, which i think is probably likely to go up. again, i think we're going to see from cherokee and these rural counties, as they report, the republican number goes up there. they're doing really well on election day with 77% is the last number i saw. >> hannity: if you look at the votes prior to today, were about 3 million. magic number, i would say if you want to get to 1 million and have the extra cushion, you're looking for both totals of 4 million by the end of the count here and we're about 2.6, 2.7 as we speak. we'll get back to you, karl rove. joining us with more on tonight's critical senate runoffs from the trump organization, eric trump is with us. little different count in the state of georgia than what we saw. originally, i wasn't sure of what to make of it.
6:16 pm
i have been making calls all night. anybody else that knows georgia as well as i do, i lived there until 1996 and i came here to fox. it's a very different state than the one i left politically. >> listen, you have a lot of pissed off people in the country, quite frankly. you're gonna see that tonight. they look back to november. they know they were robbed in a state like georgia. quite frankly motivated a lot of people. i think that's one of the reasons you're seeing some of the turnout. probably some of the reason you're seeing the turnout on the opposite side. you have a lot of really upset people in this country. 75 million, to be exact, many more than that. we had ballots that were being thrown in drainage ditches, ballots being torn up, ballots that were purposely being thrown away and lost. so as discouraging as that is in one way, for republicans across this country, i think it
6:17 pm
motivated a lot of people to get out there and vote, especially in a place like georgia, which saw a bunch of funny business. >> hannity: we have ted cruz coming on the program. he wants a commission to look into this for ten days. we're going to have about 150 house members supporting this. big rally. i believe your dad will be addressing that rally tomorrow. eric, the things that have flabbergasted me, there has been no curiosity, supposedly whistle blowers and eyewitnesss were important, but only if they're anonymous and hearsay and against your dad. we had hundreds of them that signed dastes under penalty of perjury, no one wanted to hear. wisconsin state law clearly violated. state constitution of pennsylvania was violated. in spite of the claims of the secretary of state of georgia, he did go into a consent decree agreement with two standards for signature verification. that shouldn't happen. no partisan observers, no chain of custody. i don't see that they did a
6:18 pm
whole lot to improve it since november 3rd. >> i agree with you 100%. you had minors voting in nevada, dead people voting all over. not only did you have dead people, sean, you had people who requested an absentee ballot who had been dead for ten years and then a month later went and actually voted that ballot. you had addresses that didn't exist in states that miraculously received ballots. you had anomalies in the middle of the night where you had 100,000 votes struck, every one for biden. you had republicans being told, go home, we'll pick up the counting tomorrow. they went home, 15 minutes later all the democrats come back and start counting votes. i showed up at some of these in philadelphia. i went to one of these with rudy giuliani. we went to the convention center. they literally had our poll watchers, they wouldn't let them in. they had a do not admit list. every one of them was a republican poll watcher. why is it that these anomalies only went one way?
6:19 pm
i think that's what's infuriating to myself and my father. mainly my father, but our entire family. you see the stop the steal rally tomorrow. i will be speaking at it 10 a.m. tomorrow and my father is speaking at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. you have hundreds of thousands of americans descending on washington, d.c. because they know exactly what happened and the media is totally carrying the water for biden. they know the guy had zero enthusiasm, he did not win. he couldn't draw 12 people into a classroom when my father was filling stadiums. no one believed this guy got 80 million votes. it doesn't feel right. it doesn't look right. tomorrow will tell you a lot about the country. i can tell you, sean, any senator or any congressman that does not, meaning on this side, that does not fight tomorrow, i'm telling you, their political career is over because the maga movement is going nowhere. my father has created the greatest movement in american
6:20 pm
history. they will get primaries next time around and they will lose if they don't stand up and show some back bone and show some conviction. >> hannity: what i said last night on this program, if you would have said to me five years ago that the media would lie for three years to the american people about trump/russia collusion that never happened, that hillary would pay for a russian disinformation dossier that was never verifiable because it was all phoney to cover up the subpoenaed e-mails that she didn't turn over and erased. if you would have told me the fbi would abuse its power and use the phoney dossier as a basis to lie to a fisa court to spy on your father as a candidate and as a president and not one democrat and nobody in the media would not only investigate it, but they pushed the russia/trump collusion, like truthers, liars. they never were held
6:21 pm
accountable. people that did it were not held accountable. i never thought a lot of these things could happen. >> i didn't either. listen, i'm a guy who has lived a very, very clean life. i have lived a very clean life. you see the way they attacked me, donny, ivanka, baron. they got it wrong. the quote unquote elite in the media got it wrong. they said donald trump had a 1.6% chance of becoming president of the united states. new york times the morning of the election on november 8, 2016, 1.6% chance of winning the electi election. they all got it wrong. they were embarrassed. so what did they do? they doubled down. made up stories. it is rather remarkable. it is rather remarkable. i don't even think they believe that joe biden won, to tell you the truth. they know the cheating was done. they know the funny business that was taking place all over. >> hannity: they enabled the guy to hide in his basement and never asked him a tough question. they did his job attacking your
6:22 pm
father. all right, eric. thank you. appreciate it. when we come back, numbers continue to pour in from georgia. bill hemmer's at the big board. senator ted cruz, mark levine, a preview of tomorrow's big day in washington and much more, straight ahead. want to brain better? unlike ordinary memory supplements- neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference.

6:26 pm
6:27 pm
karl's comments to me were interesting about day of voting numbers. seem to be a low percentage back and early voting numbers seem to come in earlier. >> i was listening to that, too. the marker here in georgia seemed to be 800,000. if you can get 800,000 votes today, you can take both races for republicans. i think karl and some others had it higher maybe 900,000 or 1 million. in talking to tom price earlier today, former congressman from atlanta, town of roswell, he had it around 800,000. the difference of 20%. in the end, that could be substantial for either side. here's where we are right now as of 9:30 p.m. on the east coast. you have about 31% of the vote outstanding. this thing is supertight. david perdue just clocked ahead of jon ossoff. the difference the 37,000 in this race. let me pop over to the other
6:28 pm
ticket. here's warnock and loeffler. she has nearly mirrored perdue. warnock seems to be running slightly ahead of ossoff. she's got a lead of 15,484 raw votes. quickly, sean, we got a moment here. tell you what i'm seeing. this clocked in a moment ago. whitfield county, still outstanding. the reason i keep going back here is because this is where the president had his rally. 60% of the vote outstanding. not a huge county, but not small. 30 out of 159. pop over here. the reason i watched this is because david perdue did so well two months ago in this county. he's running around the same clip right now. show you, sean, from 20 from two months ago was 78.3 in the end. tonight he's at that number 78.3 with some of the vote still outstanding. this is floyd county. i find this interesting. nothing reported, sean.
6:29 pm
this is rome, georgia. president had a huge rally in floyd county in the town of rome in the final week of the campaign back in late october, early november. don't know why they're not reporting, but we'll keep an eye on it and see what happens and whether or not a couple thousand votes here or there add up to a significant difference in both of these races. let me come now to cherokee. 99% reported. good night for perdue. and loeffler as well. this is forsythe county. this is red, trending blue over the past six years, i would say. we've got a lot of vote still outstanding, 3/4 still to be counted. perdue with a slight lead. i will tell you this, population centers here in the middle, atlanta. this is -- well, fulton county is at 88%. numbers reporting a lot faster than we saw 60 days ago.
6:30 pm
this is dekalb county, heavily populated. there are a lot of democratic votes there. heavy african-american population as well. there is a significant amount of this vote that is still outstanding. they're only clocking in at 35%, so this is going to change the overall state wide picture as we move through the night. but as it stands right now, 44,000. >> hannity: one question. >> fire away. >> hannity: where are we in terms of the percentage of the vote, fulton and dekalb? >> fulton county right now is reporting 88%. warnock 75, loeffler 24.8. the other ticket, at 88.3%, ossoff 74 and perdue 25. that's fulton county. you wanted dekalb as well? >> hannity: yes, sir. >> all right. this is dekalb.
6:31 pm
this is cobb county still at 35%. this is gwinnett county, they have a ways to go at 39%. lot of votes still out there in the central part of this heavily populated area. >> hannity: i left the state in 1996 when i came to work on the debut of this channel and it is a very different state. i can tell you cobb county was newt gingrich territory back in the day. >> it was. >> hannity: i lived in roswell, you can tell your friend. if it's 800,000, i think that's an achievable number for day of voting. i bet in my own head at about 950. robert kahalee is at 850. thank you. we appreciate you being with us. >> see you in a couple minutes. >> hannity: we'll continue to monitor returns out of georgia. all developing tonight, tomorrow senator ted cruz and about a dozen other republicans are promising to vote against certification. they're demanding audits of the
6:32 pm
2020 election. texas senator ted cruz joins us. senator, thank you for being with us. big day tomorrow. big crowds showed up to the point where the west wing could hear the music and the people chanting who were there already. this all kicks off in the morning tomorrow. >> well, sean, that's right. tomorrow is an important day. we have an obligation, i believe, to protect the integrity of the election and to protect the integrity of the democratic system. last week as you know what i did, i worked to bring together a group of 11 senators. i spent about 24 hours just working the phones, calling my colleagues. ultimately ten of my colleagues joined with me. i intend to object tomorrow. all 11 senators are standing with me on that in that objection. and what the objection is for is to demand that we form an electoral commission. an electoral commission that has
6:33 pm
the authority to investigate these claims of voter fraud, to consider the evidence and to make determinations. these allegations are serious. i gotta say, there are far too many people in washington who are saying dismiss the claims out of hand, don't look at them, don't consider them, that congress has to have a blindfold on. i don't think that's right. i think we have an obligation to the constitution to defend the rule of law. >> hannity: senator, i'm looking at the support you're getting in the senate and the support in the house, maybe 150 members in the end. it's looking like. realistically, can this happen? i don't like to give this audience false hope. would we have an audit? is that real? is that a possibility? do you see, for example, do you see any -- after tomorrow, is there a path for the president constitutionally? >> unfortunately, i think it is extraordinarily uphill.
6:34 pm
tomorrow in the vote, i think it is likely that all or nearly all of the democrats will vote against us, will vote to certify the election exactly as is. based on their public statements, a whole bunch of republicans are going to vote to do so as well. if that happens, if a majority of both chambers vote that way, then the result will be certifying the outcome. i hope that doesn't happen. one of the arguments i have been making to my colleagues is, if we had an obligation to the country. you look at polling that shows 39% of americans believe the election was rigged. that's heart breaking. that is an enormous threat to the legitimacy of subsequent administrations. i think even if you're a member of congress who doesn't necessarily believe that, i think those numbers should dismay you mightedly. i think it's in everyone's interest for there to be a credible forum that is impartial, that has credibility,
6:35 pm
that can consider the evidence. what i'm calling for is an emergency ten-day audit. just audit the results, consider the claims, look at the evidence. by doing it in ten days, we can complete it before january 20th, before the presidential inauguration. i think that would help provide much greater faith and confidence in the election than simply charging forward and saying, whatever the results are, whatever the fraud was, we're going to certify anyway. i hope congress doesn't do that, but right now based on the public statements, it sure seems that's the direction the votes are going. >> hannity: you get two hours in the house and senate, correct, sir? >> that's right. so under the statute that governs this, when a senator and a house member object together, and i intend to object to the state of arizona. we'll go through in alphabeticcal order. arizona is early in the
6:36 pm
alphabet. i'm going to be objecting along with arizona house members. that will trigger an automatic two hours of debate in each chamber. we will retire to our senate chambers. senate in the senate chamber, house members in the house chamber have two hours of debate. i'm going to do my best to lay out why this is the best course of action. the way i arrived upon this, i was struggling with the choices that all the members were being faced with. we had two lousy choices. if a member of congress votes against an objection, what an awful lot of voters are going the hear from that is you don't think voter fraud is real, serious, you don't think it occurred in this election. that's obviously not right. i have got to say most of the republicans don't believe that. on the other hand, i think all of us, understandably and rightly, don't want to be voting to set aside the results of an election just because the candidate we happen to support
6:37 pm
didn't prevail. so i really looked for, all right, is there another option? what i did, i scoured history and precedent, and i think the most apt precedent is the presidential election of 1876. that was between rutherford b. hayes and samuel tilden. in that election there were serious allegations of voter fraud, in florida, louisiana, south carolina. what did congress do in 1877? congress didn't throw up its hands and say, we have no solution, we can't do anything, we've got to ignore these allegations of voter fraud. no. what they did, they elected a commission. that commission was charged with reviewing the evidence and making a determination about the disputed ballots. and what i'm urging is we should follow the 1877 precedent and when i made that pitch to my
6:38 pm
colleagues at the end of the day ten other senators agreed with me that that was the right and principled outcome. i hope tomorrow a lot more colleagues agree with me. we'll see. >> hannity: senator cruz, thank you. we'll be watching. joining us with reaction is the author of freedom of the press, host of the number one show on fox, national syndicated radio host mark levine. lot of things happening tonight, lot of things happening tomorrow. your thoughts? >> first this is worse than 1876. from a constitutional perspective -- i want to focus in on this. it's simple. only the state legislatures article ii section i clause ii can determine how electors are to be chosen. that set up the state election laws. what the democrats did, the
6:39 pm
biden campaign and surrogates, after the 2016 election and not that far before the 2020 election they said we've got to win these battleground states by hook or by crook, so what they did, they went into these states all four which have republican legislature. they had to figure out how to get around the legislature. in a state like pennsylvania, which has democrat governor, democrat senate of state, democrat justices on the state supreme court. they used all of these nonlegislature officers to change the laws in pennsylvania to befit the democrat. so the legislature was cut out. similar things happened in these other battleground states that were targeted by the democrats, their lawyers and surrogate. you see what happened in georgia. they went after the signature requirement. they worded it down to the point where they really don't work any more. that's why you have no sour or
6:40 pm
poisoned signature ballot. you have a very weak secretary of state, a very weak governor. secretary of state capitulated, entered into a consent decree. he violated the constitution. the michigan secretary of state issued 7 million ballots. the problem is, under michigan law, you have to request a ballot. you need some identity requirements. similar things took place. milwaukee, madison, other heavy democrat parts of the state, they changed the state election laws. that's four battleground states where the democrats targeted. this is the book of madison's notes. notes the most comprehensive notes taken during the constitutional convention in philadelphia. they specifically, specifically rejected the direct election of president and vice president. more importantly they specifically rejected, rejected executives, that is governors and anybody in executive branch choosing the president or vice
6:41 pm
president of the united states, and they rejected the idea that the judiciary would be involved in the process. yet in all four of those states the executive and the judiciary had more impact and more input into the election laws leading up to this election than the state legislatures did. they were utterly cut out. so here we have a problem. we have a constitutional crisis that nobody wants to talk about. the four battleground states, you had unconstitutional elections if you follow the constitution. unconstitutional election as a result of what the democrats did, circumventing the state legislature. what i hear, 60 suits were brought, 60 suits were lost. doesn't matter. this is what matters, this. the constitution. not precedent. none of it. what matters is the plain language in the constitution. they picked the state legislatures because they
6:42 pm
decided that was the place that they wanted the elections determined, that they would decide what the election laws would be. the democrats circumvented every one of these in those four states. as did the republican leadership in georgia. now what do we do? these electors have been certified. who certified them? the very democrat officials and in the case of georgia, the very incompetent republican officials who changed the laws in the first place. so in pennsylvania, the governor not on certifies the elector, sends it to washington, d.c. he's certifying his own unconstitutional actions. same thing happens in michigan. same thing happens in wisconsin. frankly, with incompetent republican leadership in georgia, same thing happens in georgia. now we get to the joint session of congress, which is also provided for in the constitution, and we have, other than ted cruz and hawley, we
6:43 pm
have gutless republicans who are telling you under the 12th amendment it says we shall count the votes. i have no choice. i have to count the votes. really? you have to count the vote. let me be utterly clear about this. the framers of the constitution weren't stupid. the framers of the 12th amendment weren't stupid. do you think they would say congress should count votes that were unconstitutional. they assumed the votes would be lawful. they assumed the states would follow the legislative process they put in the constitution. i'll give you a perfect example. not one of these republicans would say if a state legislature passed as an extreme example and said, no electors can be black. do you think for a minute these same republican senators would say there's nothing i can do about it? we have to count them because that's what the 12th amendme mm says. of course not. what we have is, in fact, a constitutional crisis. we have republicans running for the hill.
6:44 pm
they said we'll deal with this next election. here's the problem. the laws will have been changed for the next election. so we have still unconstitutional activity and baselines in these states. i hear the music. i'm ready to dance. >> hannity: i would have thought the law and the constitution mattered in wisconsin, georgia, pennsylvania. apparently not, mark, for many. thank you, mark levin. don't forget his show sunday nights on fox. when we come back, we get the latest update out of georgia, karl rove, with a preview of tomorrow as we con our coverage. stay with us.

6:49 pm
that we know. that was the count. we're what, 3.4 already in tonight. at 78% or so we're hearing, 77% we have on fox now projected which would put us well over the million mark if we went with that analysis. that doesn't seem to be holding for reasons i can't explain. >> well, look. you're right. there's some things we don't know. lot to be decided. absentee ballots, we know pretty much how many there are. we don't know how many were received today. yesterday gave us an indication, so there's a sense that, there's 860 -- these numbers are 20 minutes old. 866,000 mail-in ballots have been counted, leaving 140,000. republicans were getting 32% of those ballots, better than they were a little while ago, half hour ago, they were at 30%.
6:50 pm
the remaining in person, and we know how many there are there, which is 1.4 million have been counted. 600,000 are out. we don't know where those are, but we know how many there are. republicans right now, went up from 51.5% to 52.7% among the early vote. then election day, 675,000 have now been counted. we don't know how many more are out there. there were 977,000 people who voted in november. we think the number will be around that number or maybe slightly higher. right now republicans are getting 69.9% of those votes, doing very well on election day. they were doing better earlier but now we're getting dekalb and cherokee was not up to 70%, but that's pretty darn good. where does that leave us? when i did the numbers david perdue had a lead of about 28,433. i see he's got a lead of about
6:51 pm
73,000 votes right now, 72,000 votes. this is when he was up by 28,000. the mail-in ballots, if the democrats continue to get the same percentage of mail-in ballots that they have been getting, 70%, they'll gain 50,000 more net votes as a result of those ballots. if the in-person remains at 51/49 for republicans, they'll offset up to 30,000 of those. then that brings us down to election day. again, we don't know how many more people voted on election day. right now it's, whatever it was, 600,000 odd. maybe there's 200,000 more which would get us to 875,000. if republicans got 69%, that would add 60,000 to their total. they're up by 28. that gets wiped out and the democrats go ahead by 14. republicans go back ahead by
6:52 pm
maybe 16. then they have 60,000. if they maintain that number at 65%. if there are 300,000 more votes left out there on election day and the republicans take them by the same margin, they get 90,000 votes, another 30,000 added to their number. but, look, we don't know how many more votes there are out there. and we really don't know a very important piece of the puzzle. fulton and dekalb are very democrat. we don't know how many mail-in ballots are left there, which are the worst for the republicans, best for democrats. we don't know how many early votes which are better for republicans, but the democrats will still win them in those two counties, and we don't know how many election day votes there, which are better for republicans, but they'll still get beaten badly in those two counties. then we don't know what the margin is in cobb and gwinett. the question is how close are the republicans going to be
6:53 pm
there? >> hannity: largest chunk scares me is dekalb is the biggest county with the most outstanding votes. we don't know. all right, karl. great analysis. thank you. here with more congressman matt gates. let me go to tomorrow and what's going to happen in the house. there will be two hours of debate, 140 or 150 so of your colleagues are going to stand up and say we want an audit. >> you're absolutely right, sean. we're seeing tens of thousands of our fellow americans pouring into washington, d.c. i have to tell you, i wish we had a little more of that fighting spirit here inside the halls of congress. levin on your show just talked about the serious constitutional issues that are impacting the validity of the vote in michigan and wisconsin. as i give you this report tonight, we do not have senators willing to object to the electors in michigan or wisconsin or nevada, where you saw a lot more of the transient vote, where people had left the state but were still casting
6:54 pm
votes in the state of nevada. so we may only have 180 precious minutes tomorrow to make our case that there was real voter fraud, a case the media says we can't possibly make. sean, here is the disturbing news that i have to share with you based on the negotiations we've just been having with republican leadership. republican leadership is contemplating taking the one hour we have to present our objections on each state and giving part of that time away to republicans who don't support the objection. so that means all the democrats will be fighting against us and then we'll be using our own time that we should be using to fight for election integrity to divide among republicans who have a different view. i don't think that's unified team work. i wish we had senators like senator cruz, who was just on your show, willing to offer objections, but all in nevada because i think we should not
6:55 pm
leave out the people in those states who have real concerns about the way their states depart from the constitution and ran unclean elections. >> hannity: doesn't seem like a lot of time if you have that many congress men voting. we'll be watching all of it very closely, reporting on it tomorrow night. congratulations on the book. you've done very well. by the way, the title definitely fits. i'm just saying, as a friend and older brother. but anyway, congratulations. when we come back, more hannity after this. ♪ got my hair
