communities likethe one where i was -- like the one where i was raised hell because he doesn't see all of the decent, hard- working folks like my parent whose took the extra shifts, paid their bills on time, folk whose are raising amazing family -- folks who are raising amazing families, sending kids to college. maybe he doesn't believe people like us really exist. >> obama was introduced carolyn goldwater ross. you'll recognize that name. she is the granddaughter of arizona republican icon barry goldwater that was quite something. also, at 6:00, what mrs. obama had to say about donald trump keeping us in suspension about whether he'll accept the election results. live outside the phoenix convention center, brahm resnik, 12 news. >> thank you. meanwhile the republican donald trump telling the supporters near columbus, ho h. that he will accept the

accept a clear election result, but like any candidate, he reserves the right to take legal action if questionable circumstances arise. trump's comments come weeks after the claims of the electoral process and institutions rigged against him and the election would be stolen by under handed tactics. >> and if al gore or george bush had agreed three weeks before the election to concede the results and waived their right to a legal challenge recount, then there would be no supreme court case and no al gore versus bush or bush versus al gore and there have been numerous other cases. in effect, i'm being asked to waive centuries of legal precedent designed to protect the voters. >> their three debates are finished, but tonight clinton and donald trump have one more showdown, but this time with jokes.

foundation dinner is underway right now in new york city. this is actually a live look from inside. tradition dictates the candidates deliver humorous remarks poking fun at each other and themselveses, and that seems pretty hard to envision considering how this election campaign has gone so far. the two fierce rivals are sitting one seat apart from each other this evening with new york's cardinal timothy doll lan act -- ol as the only buffer between them. last night's debate threw 71.6 million viewers on the tv alone. during the debate we invited 10 men and women down to the station to watch. and some have already decided who they'll be voting for. others haven't. we watched the debate tonight and -- together and i asked them what their overall opinion has been about the candidates in this vicious election cycle.

is an honest admission, i'm really going to struggle to cast this ballot. any other election in my entire life, that is how i'm going to feel. >> even though there are other options, including writing in anyone else other than those on the ballot our votes really won't count unless we vote for one of these two individuals. >> absolutely. >> i feel really bad for early voter whose have already sent their ballot in, right, because i think it is going to take right up to that get there to say, okay. am i going to vote fora lunatic or someone who we know is corrupt? >> how many at this table believe, still believe in our election system? show of hands. >> no one thinks the election could be rigged? >> everyone from our county recorder, helen purcell, who is on the ballot herself, to our secretary of state, michelle regan, along with other party

said this election logistically is not rigged. and, frankly, you know, i almost am offended by the fact, and i can't believe i'm using that word, that donald trump would suggest that such hard workers like helen purcell, like michelle regan, who, don't get me wrong, they have made their mistakes over the years but they have done their best to perfect them and i'm looking forward to november 8 and seeing how they have done. >> for you to stand up and say that the democratic process to be president of a democratic country, again, that's a problem. >> and watching democrats claim that this can never happen, this would never happen to us, and it was just a short memory a time ago when -- where everyone in the democratic party screamed that they had the entire election ripped out of their hands. >> you're saying this is not the first time we have heard this argue [ >> democrats looked at us
