changed. clinton getting ready for the debate on sunday. presidential debate commission says it's in st. louis not in the eye of the storm but it's on despite the concern about resources headed down to deal with that. donald trump went to new hampshire to do a town hall. he saided the nothing to do with the town hall debate on sunday which he has not done for months. he said it wasn't a dry run he has property in south florida. he said he talked with folks down there and talked with the governor of florida. if they tell you to get out, evacuate. florida's governor says when it comes to voting, their voter registration deadline in that important battleground state is tuesday. a lot of people wondering if they will have power come tuesday. a lot of them out.

>> kim: i heard chuck todd speak to this this morning. he said the governor may not have the legal right to do that anyway so it's not just partisan politics necessarily. this were issues as far as the legalities of extending the voting period so that has not been figured out quite yet. we know you will stay on top of all of it for us. i'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about on mon because the two at the top of the ticket are having their second debate. clinton and trump, we have sunday night football here on channel 3 but thank you tracy we'll talk about this on monday. also we invite everyone to participate in a town hall on monday. it's easy to participate because all have you to do is hop online. we're going to have analysis headed your way. join the conversation at news3lv.com starting at 4:00. -t. >> dana: also happening today
