7:00 pm
march on washington, what's happening in the house and the senate it's going to be in interesting day tomorrow but we will have full coverage and wra up tomorrow night. let not your heart be troubled in this runoff election night, laura ingraham is standing by with news you are going to want to hear next. >> laura: this is wild. we have hundreds of thousands o people pouring into washington tonight from all across the country. reports from seattle, plane full 's of supporters. from arizona, colorado, so this is going to be interesting to watch tomorrow because a lot of people who are really angry about what they saw is a very unfair election process and the president is going to speak, meanwhile, as he said, this tight race in georgia where it' on the line. we say that a lot, but literally , it is all on the line tonight. >> we are watching closely. i wish i wasn't right in my
7:01 pm
prediction that this is going t be close. >> great show, we will see you tomorrow night. i'm laura ingraham and this is ingraham angle from of course a pivotal night in washington. it's not an exaggeration. i said this last night. the fate of the nation rests squarely on the results of thes two senate runoffs in georgia. i said liberty versus lockdowns prosperity versus punishment, and common sense versus critica race theory. all these concepts, all these battles hang in the balance. the races between senator perdu and jon ossoff and senator kell loeffler and rafael warnock are as close as we predicted them t be. we'll bring you every significant update throughout the hour. just over 500 miles to the north , in washington, dc president from supporters have been fanning out across
7:02 pm
washington, d.c. muriel bowser has actually called in the national guard to keep things peaceful. she didn't want to do that necessarily when things were really violent not so long ago in may and june, but nevertheless, most of dc is shu down even though we have this big rally taking place tomorrow p two men leading efforts to challenge all of this in the election, congressman just jordan, and has been in the new a lot he is here tonight. he's going to give us the first response to what the nt for the thugs showed up last night and what they did while his wife an his newborn were home alone. we begin tonight in georgia where we have fox news reporter fanned out across the state. we begin with our own who is life at the headquarters in atlanta. this as giving everybody a big stomachache from both parties watching this tonight. up and down, it was ten points
7:03 pm
early in the evening for the democrats, now it's too close t call. folks went wild when results from what cherokee county cayman . tell us about that. >> the mood inside, we were jus at the party that is in a ballroom in this hotel in the buckhead section of atlanta. its very light, it's pretty celebratory. people are socializing, people have snacks, people have drinks and there are some cheers when the coverage they have fox on the screens in there so when th fox ticker at the bottom of the screen updates numbers favorabl for kelly loeffler or david perdue. we are hearing that by about 11:00 p.m., so within an hour, they think they will know enoug one way or the other for kelly loeffler to potentially come ou and address the crowd of activists and supporters and staffers who are gathered here,
7:04 pm
but she is in her hotel room upstairs watching with her parents. david perdue is still off-site because he continues to quarantine after the close contact with the covid infected staff are. i just got a text from a republican staffer involved wit this runoff effort he said that right now they know it's going to be very close and what they are doing is they are trying to figure out where exactly the votes our left to be tabulated. if it's in a red section, good for them, if it's in a blue section, not so good for them. that's what we're hearing here on the ground both the democrat are behind closed doors tonight. the democratic party did not have a big in person event. rafael warnock is watching with his family. we will bring you any other updates from inside as we get them. >> we will be back with you. president trump has insisted that fulton county is to blame for his loss in georgia allegin
7:05 pm
hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes they are. tonight, fox is inside the massive absentee ballot countin processing center that where th ballots our right now being processed. as a going better than it went last time? matt, what can you tell us? we are all watching this with intense gazes tonight. and a lot of nervous people in both parties. >> laura, actually it's quiet. short while ago a judge in fulton county ordered that this entire floor be rearranged very to it hard to tell at home, but the mental barriers here have been rearranged in this room so that observers can walk down th center of the room and aisles t get closer to the absentee ballots trying to sew throughou the day observers said they fel that they were being kept too far away to adequately tell wha was going on one person said no
7:06 pm
way can i tell what's going on in the center of this room. to judge here in fulton county ordered that observers be able to get at least 10 feet away from the process here. sometimes even that is too far. also, there were some little trifle posters kind of like the science project posters that were up in the corner of this room earlier. i had one observers say they felt like that was blocked rocking the pluses. a judge also ordered those posters to be removed. so some late developments here in fulton county. fulton county said it received 108,000 mail-in ballots and processed more than 100,000 it expects all of them to be processed by the workers here o this floor have been warned tha they may be working until 2:00 a.m. >> matt, i can't believe that with everything that transpired with the compliance and the challenges to observing the accounting in georgia and in other states, that this was
7:07 pm
still an issue tonight and that a judge actually had to intervene. grade for the judge to intervene , but am looking 10 feet across the room right now and i don't know if i could read what was on a ballot 10 feet away. i think a lot of people aren't going to be all that satisfied with hearing that there are still problems that have to be fixed by judges in real time during a pivotal election. that is wild. >> we are basically you know, w were earlier at a distance of about 10 feet from the process in it's hard to tell what is going on. you get the envelopes being opened, you can see computers, but you can see the screen. are you able to observe? sure pradip would you have an accurate depiction of what's going on? not necessarily. we were in detroit and observer said the same thing we are just too far away. election workers tell us we hav to protect the integrity we can't have names released, so i seems like there is no remedy s far. earlier tonight observers had w are too far weight we can't tel what's going on in the judge di
7:08 pm
intervene here in fulton county. >> this is stunning. great reporting. we might take back with you as well per think you so much. as we do await these georgia results, all these latebreaking design developments. senator, first on georgia. you just heard what matt said, why do we need a judge to step in after everything that the country has gone through in the last two months commit to give these observers to have actual access? this is unreal to me. >> it's crazy. this is why. we need some action at the federal level. this is one of the reasons i'm going to object tomorrow. congress needs to do something in past election integrity laws. we need to have laws that say
7:09 pm
clearly that ballot watchers have access to these ballots as their camp counted. we need to make sure that meal and balloting is not fraudulent that you can't have ballot harvesting for instance. it's ridiculous you have to go county by county and hope like you pointed out hope you have a judge that actually knows the law, hope you get a judge with the courage to rule and then hope it's not too late. this is just insanity. >> i have a friend of mine who just voted this afternoon and said i faced voter suppression. i went to vote today and was told i was at the wrong place, same place i voted for the last 20 years they sent me to anothe place, told me that i was in th wrong place again, and then i went to a third place, where i finally voted. this is like a very good friend of mine who i just got this as the show started. so again, this is not making people feel better. we're waiting to see what happens in the results and it's obviously going to be very close , but why didn't the senate
7:10 pm
already have hearings on this? why didn't mitch mcconnell have hearings immediately on this after the election? >> fantastic question. i think the thing that the senate and congress never does anything unless their pressured. that's one of the reasons i'm going to object tomorrow this i my opportunity to stand up and bring this issue to the floor and say congress has to get off their backside and do something. we need to have hearings, we need to have new laws. if we don't do that, nothing will ever change, things will g on the same way, status quo and we see the same problems, the same irregularities over and over and over. something has to change. >> we have to get to the other big story of what happened at your house last night. you were in missouri commit you wife and newborn daughter were home, alone in suburban dc when this happened. watch. >> what do we do. >> stand up fight back.
7:11 pm
>> when democracy. >> senator, you should be concerned about what's going on here. get what we do? >> in response, this was your challenge to the electoral college would you just mentioned , so take us through what happened? >> as you say, i was at home in missouri, i have a newborn daughter who can't travel, so m wife was here with her at our house in the dc area, and these antifa groups show up, under cover of darkness, they don't have the courage to come during the day. the come with bullhorns and start screaming and shouting. of my wife comes out with the baby. she comes out with the baby and says please leave. my husband's not home, please leave, but the neighbors are here commit you're disturbing everybody commit your frighteningly. they shout her down with the bullhorns. after she goes in the house the come up to the door and start ringing the doorbell, pounding on the door and.
7:12 pm
they have a bullhorn at the door , they're yelling at my wife come out come out come out. she's in there alone with the baby. some neighbors call the cops because they were terrified. that with the whole point. the whole point was to terroriz and intimidate and they ran int somebody who wouldn't be intimidated and were just not going to take it. >> the local police spokesman i pushing back saying the protest was peaceful and that they basically dispersed and didn't think it was that big of a deal. i read that and i said what if the walls were reversed and som trump fans or someone banged on the door of stacy abrams house and started screaming that she shouldn't do ballot harvesting or whatever she's doing down in georgia. would they call that no big deal ? i don't know. to get you know, i'm glad the police did come. neighbors called the police because they were so frightened. it took the police to actually arrive to disperse the crowd. they were there long before, th police got there.
7:13 pm
>> they're saying you're exaggerating it. they're saying it's not that bi of a deal, but we know if the facts were reversed, and it was a democrat woman, especially a minority with similar facts, they would've claimed it was racist and everything else. >> exactly right. asia say look at the video. you can see the video and judge for yourselves. they call it now, i love this group says it was a candlelight vigil. like it's a church choir or something, with bullhorns, screaming at my wife demanding come out come out and pounding on our door knowing after she's asked them to please leave commit shouting down neighbors who come out and tried to talk to them. won't leave until police show up . this is unbelievable. the bottom line is nobody shoul have this happen to them. if they could happen to my family it can happen to any family in america. this kind of garbage should not happen. >> do you think vice president pins should not accept the certification of tomorrow's election?
7:14 pm
>> you know, my understanding i that under the 12th amendment, and under the relevant laws, th vice president, he undoes, he opens the certificates and then he hands them over to the clerk in the senate and the house and they count the votes. at don't think the vice president actually counts for a he sort of just they are. this is really on congress. this is why it's important to object and why i intend to object tomorrow because congres has to take a stand. if congress doesn't take a stand , there's really nothing that can be done. congress has got to take a stan and those of us who have heard from our constituents, the people of missouri expect me to stand up and say well, there were problems with this election , there were major integrity issues, there need to be changes to the law, and that's what i'm going to do tomorrow. >> if they don't wear this when the seats in georgia, there won't be any changes to the law it will only get worse. >> glad you're wife and newborn
7:15 pm
are okay. unacceptable what happened to you. anyone should say it's unacceptable. thank you so much. right now i want to bring in bill hammer who said the big board with the latest from georgia tonight. tell us what counties you are looking at. we love when you examine it county by county for us. >> just about 159 of them. laura, good evening to you. this is what we're looking at after 10:15 p.m. perdue hanging onto a lead here. 90,000 vote difference between perdue and ossoff bright i'll g to the other ticket here. for loeffler, she's hanging on here with 62,000 plus. at the moment you think republicans are in a good position, but when you start drilling into these counties an trying to see where are the votes still outstanding, you se a different picture. all show you that now as we go back to the matchup now separated by about two points. republicans clocked in, in cherokee county. we've been watching this.
7:16 pm
good numbers for perdue there, 70 percent of the vote over her in forsyth county. 67 almost 68 percent. if we were to go back to cherokee county from two months ago, percentagewise, he was jus about that now at 70 percent. that is good news for perdue. zero back on that in the end here after i complete this little statewide analysis. that's the good news for the republicans, the problem right now hanging in the balance out there, 83 percent reporting is after democrats here in atlanta and down here in savannah, they have a lot of votes still outstanding here in chaplin county you have about 35 percen of the votes still to be tabulated and released. then you come in here to atlanta , fulton county is almost all checked in. number one populated county in the entire state, but this really seems to be the issue. this is the cab county.
7:17 pm
three out of 159. there are a lot of democrats in this county. a lot of african americans, the turned out in big numbers two months ago in dekalb county. you have only 35 percent of the vote in at the moment, so this is going to be a big dump yard. i would say in terms of raw numbers, you see where ossoff i at 102. here is where he was two months ago. 298, so you see the real vote difference between the two. then, i told you i would wrap this up here. early on the night, the rural counties were republicans were so well for republican presiden trump. david perdue tonight is at 21-22 . still a little out there. you go back two months ago, he was at 24.81. quick math, 300 commit 350 vote commit less than what he received two months ago. you start to add that up all
7:18 pm
over the state of georgia and you start to see in a really close election like we're seein right now, 300 votes they are, 300 votes over here it can all make a big difference in the end . >> so bill commit you're saying in the rural counties from what you're seeing now, the turnout for republicans is not as strong . >> i want to be careful of my wording. not as high as the republicans wanted it to be, and many of these rural counties. not all of them. but quite a few as you pop around on this map. >> 300 votes. elections are won or lost on 30 votes. dekalb county is the big one, but bill, we will check back with you. thank you so much for giving us the latest. former georgia congressman former u.s. attorney also with me are fox news contributor hos of this era carter podcast. bob, you know this state about
7:19 pm
is well as anyone of course you heard what bill just said. what is going on with the rural vote, and is there enough rural vote outstanding to help the go given the fact that we've got 100,000 plus outstanding in dekalb county. >> this is going to be very close election. we knew that from the beginning. you said that, bill has said that, and from my position on the ground in georgia i've know that all along. it's all about turnout, and to the extent that the republicans could focus on turnout and not be distracted by as i mentioned the other day in an article all these barking dogs as winston churchill said can make it you will never get to your goal if you throw rocks at every barkin dog along the way. the problem with the republican approach is not the candidates, it's not the governor, it's all these other issues that clutter it up.
7:20 pm
the problem is that is why we are seen republican turnout not quite as big as we had hoped. i still think looking at the maps that the votes will be there from rural georgia which is exactly what happened in our gubernatorial race as you remember just two years ago, it was exactly the same scenario and the governor pulled it out because of all those rural vote in the military votes that come in later on. >> sarah commit your thoughts now given what you're seeing, how close this is and how wild it is with the president of course criticizing and that is putting it mildly, the republican sitting governor and secretary of state in their handling of the election and th presidential side when we neede turnout for the senate races. >> it's frustrating especially for people in georgia. i was just chatting with folks before i came on with you out i georgia, some of them are feeling pretty positive, people in on the gop side believe that
7:21 pm
loeffler and perdue are going t pull through but others are saying not too fast, in dekalb county is the one that they are most concerned about and there is still a lot of boats left ou there. it is going to be very very tight, but also remember this, across the country, still 39 percent of people polled actually believe that there was serious problems with the general election, so you have just like bob said, barking dog out there and people concerned about the fact that may be ther is of frustration in these rura parts of the country they say i my vote even really going to count. top that with what happened and with what president trump said and some people may not get out there and vote. votes are won and lost with les than 300 in some cases, so that is what we're seeing right now in georgia. i think what's more stunning is the fact that we have warnock
7:22 pm
and ossoff and we're looking at the most progress of the most extreme that we've ever seen a leftist candidate and how close it is is really quite stunning. that it's happening in america and georgia. >> have you ever seen a less impressive duo of democrat candidates then ossoff and warnock? >> putting it that way, very nice, seeing their less impressive, these are dangerous candidates, laura. these men will destroy america as we know what. it's not that they're just not impressive, they are a danger t the fabric of our society. you have in warnock a pastor that seems to hate america, hat the military, hateful enforcement, and the voters in georgia are going to send batma to the united states senate? that's an unthinkable, i don't think it will happen, but the fact that he's gotten this far is very very troubling for us going forward. >> thank you so much both of you

7:28 pm
>> the media's voter fraud effort, that is the focus of tonight angle. since election night, we've all heard about the allegations of voter fraud commit we have hear the statements made by patrioti americans, we read the affidavits, we saw a video of individual polled watchers bein denied meaningful access even t nightly side. get the idea that joe biden received more votes than barack obama itself seems to be prima fascia evidence of fraud per there was another type of election fraud that we must als expose and eradicate. just as the black signature verification and un- trackable ballot harvesting, it's meant t effect the ultimate outcome of the election. its insidious. i'm talking about the longest-running undeclared in time can campaign donation in election history. the medias all out effort to conceal the truth from american
7:29 pm
voters. from the china virus to hunter biden to the goals of antifa an black lives matter to the writings of kamala harris. they were either actively concealing the truth or just conveniently incurring. let's take today's revelations about kamala harris. for some odd reason, just now, we find out that she plagiarize the story. a concerned toddler kamala protesting for civil rights. here is her real-time. >> it's a very story about how was fussing and she said to be when, what do you want ng this is how she would say it, she would say what you want, and i said sweden's. >> only one little problem. martin luther king jr. said tha in 1965 about a little girl at
7:30 pm
birmingham rally, also with her mother. what do you want, the policeman asked her gruffly and the littl girl looked him straight in the eye and said freedom for a g couldn't even pronounce it, but she knew it was beautiful. now, if you think that kamala plagiarism is limited, it is not . >> she would look down at me what you want, what you want an i looked back up at her and i said freedom. >> now, when republicans run fo office, what do they do? they scour their writing as the should. remember when the dc press corp went nuts on someone who didn't even run for office, but the rn speech. >> striking similarities to the 2008 convention speech of michelle obama. >> several passages directly lifted from michelle obama's democratic convention speech
7:31 pm
back in 2008. >> this was supposed to be a homerun, but now it seems to have been an error on the field. >> that was a big bombshell. no one bothered to comb through the writings of a woman who's a heartbeat away from the presidency or maybe they did an they just decided to keep it quiet? i don't put anything past these people? they simply refused to cover th hunter biden china enrichment scheme. they didn't cover that at all. do you think bob costa or days tapper would have looked the other way if trump family members, and they had a laptop that just turned up at a store, had all this interesting information on it? but last year they were running the biden protection racket, so here is how they decided to cover hunter. >> trump is out there tweeting and storm about it claiming it' a giant scandal. >> to neck to going to an ongoing russia disinformation effort targeting the biden
7:32 pm
campaign. >> trumbull spend a lot of time going after hunter biden and tried to induce or sort of lure the press into covering sort of fake scandals regarding the president's unburied gig it mov right along, no story they are. >> that is the fraud surroundin the recording of covid 19. that's ongoing, the china virus. biden's poodles to treated thos of us who questions china viral origin story likes conspiracy theorist. they also had to try out to hav a span from social media from questioning everything from the lockdown to school closures to the reliability of the widely used pcr type. we were dangerous they claimed. but it was their failure to do real reporting that was actuall dangerous to public awareness during election year. isn't it funny how many have change their tune just since th election? check out these recent headlines . the pandemic is making teens
7:33 pm
depressed. one third of new jersey small businesses have closed. may be our approach has been wrong. now the fda even finally admitting what the angle has been telling you since early last summer about the pcr. many false positives. i'm not going to come out and say it. they did this to hurt trump. the media and their liberal scientist powells downplayed an good covid news like the actual survivability numbers, and reported every development in the worst possible light like the new uk strains that they ar freaking out about that even anthony fauci is admitting is more transmissible, but not mor lethal. of all the fraudsters, the anchors and guests on cnn were the most disgusting of all. they worked overtime to stoke panic, protect china, and blame trump. >> this is only just begun. that is the truth, the worst is
7:34 pm
yet to come. >> the worst is still yet to come. >> the science tells us that th worst is yet to come. >> it speaks volumes, but the folks in china they did it righ at. >> we need to take a look at china. >> instead of focusing on the lives lost in the family's morning, president trump is blaming china. >> meanwhile, 11 months ago, this host was asking questions that made doctor suite five and issue of china little bit uncomfortable. >> so they have unfettered access to all the information they need this centers for disease control are people or just part of the who? >> it's the who international group of respected scientists who i know personally. they are there right now. >> so you're satisfied with all of the transparency coming out of china today about the trajectory of the disease in th origin of the disease? >> i can tell you in my direct interaction with chinese
7:35 pm
scientist in chinese health officials, not party politics people, but medical people in scientists that i can believe what they are telling me. >> it just takes your breath away. now just a few days ago, this article appears in new york magazine and its devastating piece that he writes there should have been a comprehensiv insight out fully public investigation of the institute. there should have been interviews of scientist, biosafety teams, close persons of lab notebooks, freezer, plumbing decontamination just him checks, everything. it didn't happen. the they close down the data space is a viral genome and the ministry of education sent out directive any paper that traces the origin of the virus must be strictly and tightly managed. this is precisely what i was trying to get him to see almost a year ago. he wasn't that interested.
7:36 pm
because if they chinese engage engaged in a massive cover-up, how would some of these people liam leader blame donald trump for mishandling it all? this is where the fraud came in. politicize scientist, who work for tv networks and get facts consulting fees from drug companies in universities and their media collaborators were too stupid or too biased to kee voters accurately informed. these are just a few of the mos egregious examples of media driven electoral fraud. that was perpetrated on a more american voters and their coverups for biden are going to continue. they will probably get more blatant in worse. it will be our job to expose an resist these fraudsters every step of the way. they're not journalists, they are propagandistic tools of the neo- socialist forces who are intent on remaking america from top to bottom. we are not going to let them
7:37 pm
succeed. we will fight them. but not by showing up at people 's houses to terrorize their little kids, that's what paid powers do. we will make sure in the coming weeks, months, and years, that americans know who lied to them and what they did and when they did it and when we needed the truth most, who denied it. i assure you, none of the corrupt voices at the new york times, washington post, cnn, abc , nbc, will ever really recover from what they did during the last five years to keep voters in the dark and tha is the angle. coming up, scores of republican will object to the certificatio of the 2020 electoral college votes tomorrow will it change much? congressman jim jordan the man leading the house and moments. plus the georgia senate runoff still too close to call. we will bring you live updates in just a few moments.

>> senator ted cruz and others are calling for an electoral commission to review the result of the election, but in order t create one, what would have to happen is congress would have t pass a concurrent resolution to set up such a panel. it would itself be subjected to a filibuster in 60 votes. the other scenario would involv vice president pens refusing electors from each state tonigh new york times reported that it pent told trump he has no optio to do the latter, but the president refutes it saying tha he and the vice president are i total agreement. professor, to a lot of folks ou there who don't follow the ins and outs of constitutional law
7:44 pm
or 150 -year-old president president, what is going on here ? >> this is unresolved mess for about 150 years, this was the most prominently dealt with in the election of 1876 between rutherford hayes and samuel tilden that led to this type of commission that senator cruise is discussing. that led to a partisan vote of the commission that selected haze, even though it does appea from every objective perspectiv that tilden actually won the election. but since then, there has been an unresolved question as to no just the authorities of the vic president, but the authority of congress in dealing with these types of questions. >> if state legislatures end up not abiding by their duly passe laws involving elections, and changes to rules are made by
7:45 pm
executives by what is the remedy , only going to court? the court says no it's a political question, we're not going to find this and then where do you go? >> you certainly can become tha type rates some people argue, most of argued recently that congress doesn't have the authority to reject electoral votes. this is all just ceremonial. it's never been reviewed by the courts. the true lies between those extremes. you can imagine and in the case of 1876, electoral votes that are clearly processed, south carolina brought in votes after counting 101 percent. of the eligible voters, it was vias that the fraud had occurred . so this has been this long-standing uncertainty as to what congress can do. what i can tell you is that these votes have been properly
7:46 pm
certified by the state, many of them have been subject to court challenges. i have to agree with vice president that he does not have the authority to simply reject these sets of votes, and i thin that the case law is rather limited, but if you go by the text of the constitution and th federal statute, that is a stronger position. >> some people are saying what would've prevented joe biden in 2016 from as vice president, is doing the same thing saying russia was meddling in the election and i'm not accepting some of these state certifications. >> that is the problem, this ca continue is frustrating and as awful as this is, this could keep happening. i think that's what people are also concerned about, weather the electoral college will matter anymore if this goes forward. jonathan, very complicated, but not so complicated, you made it
7:47 pm
less complicated. jim jordan weeding the house challenge. he joined us next come a, plus were keeping our eyes on georgia , the senate runoff, we have a report, oh boy, it has gotten close. that's in moments.
7:48 pm
7:49 pm
7:50 pm
7:51 pm
7:52 pm
>> our next guest is leading th hellas effort follow this certification tomorrow. here is frankie member of the house judiciary committee commission jim jordan. you hurt the professor explaine that this is likely a futile effort, so what do you think yo are going to get out of this challenge? >> we don't know that, laura. i always say there's a reason they rest on the mat if you listen to conventional wisdom, ohio state wouldn't of showed u last friday night, but they played the game and ohio state one. you have to have the debate tomorrow. that's what we're going to do we're going to object to severa states, we hope that senators join us from all states, but we know they will join us on three pretty cute the states are pennsylvania, georgia, and. >> arizona. >> arizona. >> had this to say about your plan to abject spreadsheets had said by objecting to electoral they are avoiding the ant
7:53 pm

final say on this. >> what prevents the democrats you probably heard me mention this, but from doing the same thing next time they lose a presidential election? what prevents them from doing the same thing and keeping this going? >> the democrats of already tried it when there wasn't in and run around state legislatures. they tried it the last, every time this century, every time there's been a republican president elected since 2000, the democrats have tried this when there was no basis. of course they're going to keep doing it. the reason we're doing it is because the constitution was no followed. what happened was they went after the president with the crazy russia investigation before he was elected the first time on july 16th. then it was the investigation that was nothing there then the impeachment hoax, none of that stuff worked, so they said you know we have to do, we have to change election loss a week and win the election in 2020. they couldn't change the election law in the normal way because the state legislatures
