. welcome to everyone here. welcome to "weekends with alex witt." screen left you see the president who has been talking for about an hour plus now at a maga victory rally in new hampshire. that is a state that has four electoral votes and he is making a big play for them. to the right, gretchen whitmer.

you can conclude she is there in detroit and kamala harris will be making her way there shortly. we're watching those events coming up. as we're kicking off the single digit stretch, both parties are making stump speeches in person. the president again in new hampshire, he lost in 2016 by less than half of a percent. he also trails joe biden right now by double digits. >> you remember that beautiful night in novel four years ago. i don't think this is close. i don't think this will be as close, thank you. >> as we wait for senator harris to take to that stage in detroit she was taking the spotlight for the biden camp and fired up

voters in detroit earlier. >> we were hit by a natural disaster that is now in the white house, right? in 2016 they won by just an average of two votes per precinct. think about that. >> something to think about for sure. a flurry of new polls showing favorability. and here is the view from the battleground states. biden with slight leads in florida, north carolina, and georgia as well all within the margin of error. also a glimmer of hopes for americans suffering economically. still no deal between democrats and republicans. >> we're not nancy pelosi.

we're not going to vote or opine on a bill and pass it before we read it. but will read the bill. i have a commitment that if we get an greech he is willing to bring it to the floor. >> we can lower the incidents of the virus in certain areas and open schools and businesses in the rest. if we don't we're just giving money to the president to spend any way he wants and that has not been in furtherence of topping the virus. >> what is the president saying and giving us a sense of how enthusiastic that crowd is. >> it is quite an enthusiastic one. several thousands people here on this tar mac. it is a chilly day here.

many waited since 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning to get here. the president has been speaking for about an hour. he seems to be wrapping up before he goes to maine. he is here in the granite state. he lost narrowly here in 2016 but they feel if they spent more time they could have won it. they have a similar sense of optimism here even though the current polls show hill trailing and the new hampshire news thpar that matters most here, usually for republicans, that is notable but they should point out that they didn't endorse then candidate trump in 2016 four years ago. but the president here, his closing message seems to be a dlam is just not based in reality or in data. that the coronavirus pan determine sick going away and we're rounding the corner.

when you look at the number of records broke nn this country in the last few days, the increases of single highest case it's is very hard to understand or process why the president continues to make this case. take a listen to how he framed that to his supporters earlier this afternoon. >> we're coming around, rounding the turn. we have the vaccines. we have everything. we're rounding the turn. even without the turn. it will be over. >> and alex, he is making these promises as we're learning of a out break among the staff of the vice president, mike pence, with some of the closest aides testing positive. he will be on the trail in a couple hours going to new hampshire. since the president returned to the road, of course in early of course, he held nearly 20 of

these events just in the last two weeks. that gives you a sense of how intently they plan to go. he will be in pennsylvania for three stops tomorrow before going to other battlegrounds. and they will continue to rally people. the coronavirus continues to penetrate their most inner of circles. >> absolutely, thank you for that. from new hampshire, everyone, to vice presidential nominee kamala harris. not quite yet at that podium. let's go to ali vitali. what is the senators closing message to the michigan voters going to be today in. >> senator harris bouncing from swing state to swing state in the course of the last few days. yesterday she was in ohio. her message tracks with her message. a laser focus on the need for

democrats, they hope, to get a handle on the pandemic and making the case that the trump administration mishandled this crisis from the outset. listen to show she said it earlier. >> everything is at stake. everything is at stake. we're in the middle of a pandemic right now. one in 1,000 black people in america have died from covid. one in 500 is estimated to die by the end of the year, if they don't get control of this, will die because of covid. but people are three times more like toy likely to contract it. it is not surprising. it has to do with long standing disparities. >> also going on offense at one point talking to the small traveling pool of reporters with her about an interview that white house chief of staff mark

meadows gave today when he said the white house's focus is more on mitigation of the coronavirus than criminaliontrolling the coronavirus. also in the midst of a continuing pan determine take we're seeing turn into a third wave spiking cases. harris telling her small pool of reporters that the administration is admitting defeat and that's why they have forfeited their right to a second term. i want to draw your attention to new polling that came out today from cbs and bet about the mind-set for black voters. we saw that they are going over whelmingly to joe biden's cause. you see it on your convenient right now. older voters, 40 plus, there is a pretty good amount of enthusiasm. when you get below 30 that is when you start to see the enthusiasm trickle off a little

bit. if you dig deeper you see that younger black voters say they're not necessarily voting for biden as much as they're voting in opposition to donald trump. so nine days, that's the mind-set of a key group of voters here, part of biden's coalition that democrats are looking to turn out in droves across the country. >> thank you for drilling down into what is going on with those numbers. more than 54 million americans have voted. let's go to precilla thompson. what are you seeing here today? >> the last sunday of early voting and i must say it is fairly slow today. we're seeing a trickle of cars coming in, but they're getting through the lines fairly quickly to drop off the absentee

ballots. they're also able to go in in person here in nrg. just across the parking lot there is a football game going on and i spoke with a number of those voters and most of them had already cast their early voting balloting. i think that is something that we're seeing here in detection. more than $1 million people here have already voted. i met one woman that has not voted yet and she was going to that football game. i said are you planning to vote after the game? but she told me that she is still undecided. you know she said growing up in a place like texas, a very conservative state, she feels very strongly about her conservative values and she is not sure if she will cast that ballot for donald trump or not. she does plan to make up her mind before election day, but these are some of the things that voters are grappling with. we see poll numbers here showing a very, very tight race.

>> i think the voting will pick up after that game is over. you're in the lone star state, the oilers and the cowboys rule. thank you. joining me now, we have a former spokesperson for hillary clinton. and also a former spokesman for bernie sanders. what do you make of the polling there with all of the early voting turnout? is it possible that texas could go blue. >> it could. this is governor ann richards and me. i had the mullet there. ann was the last governor to serve state-wide as a democrat. the population then was 18

million. the population now is 30 million. 70 pakistan of school kids in texas are not white. texas has been changing and what you have seen donald trump do is give us something that democrats could never figure out which was get us out to vote and vote in huge numbers. >> interesting. let's see what the president said yesterday when traveling to ohio. >> i think we're doing very well. the numbers are coming in unbelievably well. i don't believe that the media is talking about them. i'm not sure the media knows what is happening yet. in florida we're doing very well, north carolina, iowa, we're all doing very well. >> does the president have access to wildly different internal polling than we're see something. >> i mean if you say internal pol polling, in his head, sure. any campaign will have their own

polling. i do expect in addition to be there being a fair amount of solution delusion, i would not be surprised if they're not showing him anything bad. jared kushner who oversees the campaign makes the point to trump that like 2016 there is an under estimation of white that's will turn out. you can turn up and turn down the factors in a poll however you want to make them come out, sure. if nothing but white people without a college education come out between now and election day and on election day donald trump is going to win in a landslide. that's not how it works. it's there, if they're juicing the numbers for his benefit, or he is living in a four-year suspended animation. watching new hampshire, you could not tell the difference

between now and 2016. he is running the same race. >> we're looking at kamala harris there in detroit, michigan as she is doing that canvas kick off. here is another way to look at all of this. do you think there is any chance that the president is spinning it this way, super positively, saying he is winning so later he can contest the election and say this is not possible that i lost. we were doing so well. could that play out that way? >> he doesn't need data to do that. frankly there are not a lot -- this is not -- anyone that knows me knows i would not do that. there are not a lot of candidates that say i just saw my internal numbers and they're horrific. he specifically mentioned iowa. i think they do feel somewhat okay with iowa. donald trump will say what he is going to say and i will take a different view of what he is going to say or why.

yes, he is going to make noise between now and then. continue to make noise about a rigged election, ballots, the deep state, and all of his favorite grievances. but i think if it comes down -- if he loses, what he is doing now is making up excuses. it's not that he is going to take this to the court because yeah, sure, we're looking at the separation. he will take it the distance. if we're looking at desightive wins, and i don't just mean the electoral college, we might only lose text by two points. i hope we win them all by one or two points. but the way that biden's part might be decisive enough, the people that trump needs to go along with him to make this a drawn out problem won't and again i sound like i'm giving

mitch mcconnell too credit. donald trump is making excuses for himself and now he just has to say them aloud and he has them for the next decade of his life. but you know what? i had a great life. you don't want me here, i love playing golf. i have plenty of money. i have a beautiful life, such a beautiful life. that whole thing. >> you mentioned the polling there shows these two neck and neck, 49% a piece. do you have something that shows that georgia could be flipped to him? >> i'm one of the few practicers that come in and talk about campaigns. listen to me here, folks.

stacey abrams got 1923,0,921,92. the demographic vote of the young african-american population, it is just a matter of how soon it will be. >> i'm going to cut it short because we have kamala harris that we want to take a listen to. coming up next you have the president predicting victory. the polls indicating defeat, but let's talk about the morale in the white house at this time. as we go to break, kamala harris, let's listen for just a little bit. >> these are the choices before the american people.

four crisis, we're looking at an economic crisis. over 30 million americans in the last few months have filed for unemployment. one in five is describing her children under the age of 12 as being hungry. we're literally in a hunger crisis in america. people are not talking enough about that. in michigan one in ten households is describing as being hungry. one in six is describing not being able to pay rent at the end of the month. in michigan one out of four small businesses is going out of business. and he talks about rounding the dorner. you see there is a real choice in this election. because on one hand you have joe biden who says, looking at the brothers and sisters at ibew,

the building trades, the house of labor, and says when you ask me how the economy is going, i'll ask you tell me how are working people doing. that's how i measure how the economy is doing. how are working families doing? then i will tell you how the economy is doing. that's why joe says we will not raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year. that's why joe says no working family should pay more than 7% of their income in childcare. that is why joe says that first time home buyers should get a $15,000 tax credit to be able to buy a home that we know is the greatest source of economic health and well-being for economic families. well-being f economic families. are you tires that just don't smell clean? what if your clothes could stay fresh for weeks? now they can! downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh way longer than detergent alone. pour a cap of downy unstopables into your washing machine before each load and enjoy fresher smelling laundry.

with the exception of florida. there is probably no state more important than pennsylvania.

biden holds a lead in the latest polls there and here with a county to county report is laura. what are the folks there tiellig you from beaver, pennsylvania. >> i'm not just saying it is fascinating because i'm from the state, it is a big, diverse complicated state. it is counties like beaver and other that's have a complicated situation that used to be democratic strongholds. there is a lot of blue collar working class people that worked in steel so president trump talking about fracking all of the time targeting biden on this. he wants to reach people in these counties because he won

bay lot. unin lucerne that was one of the biggest flips from obama to trump. he is relying on these counties to win. when i was talking to a voter today, i asked how important is fracking in the area? >> i live in a fairly rural part of the county and there is a lot of fracking going on, but i don't think it brought the economic boom that everyone thought it would bring. it's not the first topic that people are talking about. >> so instead, top issues are health care, the president's response to the coronavirus. they talk about needing to reopen the economy. but amid the covid, but fracking not high on their list when they go to the polls over their past couple of weeks and leading up

into the final nine days of the election. this is something that the president should be keeping a close eye on after winning pennsylvania by less than 1%. >> a very proud pennsylvanian, thank you for that. president trump delivering comments today if is the second stop in his campaign trail today and with me now is jeff mason. we should just say i think the president just now wrapping up. he was talking for the better part of an hour and a half. he has been aggressively holding the rallies. sometimes up to three a day. what does it tell you about the state of the race? >> his three a day rallies are going to increase. he is doing as many as five or six a day as well. i think that is a traditional campaign schedule at the end of

most traditional campaigns. this is not traditional because of covid and you see that reflected in how vice president biden is campaigning. i think to answer your question directly i think he is trying to get support in these states where he is behind. >> i want to get to joe biden. what is it with the president shaming you were wearing large masks? >> i don't have an answer to that. he keeps coming back to it and i keep wearing my mask at the white house in large groups which is the right thing to do. >> it is the right thing to do. i'm sorry you to endure that. >> joe biden is carrying on a different campaign strategy despite their effort there is is a new poll showing candidates favo favorability ratings. biden is 44% favorable. trump down at 35% favorable and a what happening 53%

unfavorable. are voters tapping in beyond their base. is it too late to change that? >> it is too late to explain if there are undecideds. but there are. despite the huge number of people that voted by mail or voted early they will be going on in the election campaign. the trump campaign is still seeing an opportunity. i think they are setting aside these polls. they feel like the polls are tightening and they think he has a great shot. >> what about mark meadows. he said we're not going to control the pandemic. how much does that under mine the president's closing message? it brings the focus to that.

>> it does and honestly that's what vice president biden wanted to do and has been doing for months as well. putting the focus on the pandemic. the fact that the president came down with coronavirus a few weeks ago, and now people and vice president mike pence is in an inner circle and it under scores the fact that the pandemic is at the heart of this campaign. >> can you give me insight into the morale of the trump campaign? >> i have spoken to some who are optimistic and some who are less so. but they do think the pushing, pushing, pushing is the way to go. that is why they scheduled

himself so much. i would not describe the morale or the immediate as being particularly down. i think there is optimism and also among some realism about the fact that he has been behind. >> you always lift my mood, jeff mason. following the money. why wall street is not throwing the dough behind the president in the same way it did four years ago. nt in the same way it did four years ago. i wanted more from my copd medicine, that's why i've got the power of 1,2,3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved, once-daily 3 in 1 copd treatment. ♪ trelegy ♪ the power of 1 2 3 ♪ trelegy ♪ 1 2 3 ♪ trelegy with trelegy and the power of 1, 2, 3, i'm breathing better.

i'm proud, because we didn't build it the easy way, we built it right. this is the 5g america's been waiting for. only from verizon. i know them all. i want $10 million for my campaign, yes, sir. i could call the heads of wall street, i would blow away every record. i don't want to do that because it puts me in a bad position. i don't want to call up every guy on wall street and say you have to give me $10 million. they would all give it to me.

i will bring jobs and workers back to american jobs. >> the president accusing joe biden of raising big money from wall street donors and says he could raise big money if he wanted to. conservative donors pumped just $13 million in this year compared to $20 million four years ago. anthony scaramucci joining us now. good to see you. the president saying right there $10 million, he could reach out to voters rather donors, and say give me $10 million and they would, true? >> not true. they have been trying to do that for the last six months and they can't get anywhere on wall street because the president is basically an offensive guy and

the wall street people are moderate people and they don't want to be caught in the cross fire of him. some of us that supported him in 2014, it headquarter our businesses. that is the real reason that no one wants to give him money. >> is it safe to say that wall street does not want another four years of trump? >> i think it is safe to say that. i think you would have to say follow the money and the money is really going to joe biden. he has out raised them on wall street. i have been a market participant for 32 years and the market is rallying on the notion of a biden policy. just think about the way that the obama administration took over for the george bush administration if will be that sort of thing. there will be no tax increases

because the economy is frankly just too anemic to put through a tax increase. it will be the president's issue, should he win on november 3rd, which i predict that he will. >> so what is it that the president or the campaign is not getting about the economy? they say they're the herklyian heros, right, of the economy, what aren't they getting? is @ president? advisors? erg in a you said that would come from a joe biden presidency feels true, why is the trump campaign not pushing for that, too. >> i don't know but if you're talking about wall street go to moodies. they all say the economic plan from biden would be better than the president's his numbers were good in the fourth quarter of 2019. he mishandled competed

malpractice in the covid-19 crisis, and so it is very hard for him to defend that. i don't know where he is going to go. what eszage could say say at this moment. we spent twice the spending. the numbers went up little, not a lot, and we destroyed the economy. the result of which we had the steepest recession since the great depression. that is why he was interrupting the president in the first debate. he he can't mace the case because there is no case to make. >> you were an insider in this white house at the beginning of this presidency. we heard barack obama out on the trail recently something of course for joe biden, and he said that this president

inherited a very strong economy and that is part of the reason why it flourished to the extent that it did. >> it is very true. you can look at the empirical data. it was rising and growing, some of the deregulation stuff did help the economy. the excess spending probably did not help, and i think that was somewhat wasteful. the tax cut did not show up in wages. that has been vexing. how do we heel the divisions in our society. i know his personality very well. he is not tweeting at president obama or engaging him.

that is a sure sign that it is boggling him. they don't want to enflame that. >> wall street got what it wanted from trump in the form of a big corporate tax cut and that now it is ready for a less chaotic biden administration. is that the underlying current here? do you agree? >> listen, i read josh's article. wall street did not want american corporations to be at the highest end of industrial nations in terms of the tax rate. that tax cut was beneficial. the biden plan going back up to 28% is not other overwhelmingly

onerous. i think it is just very bother some. i know my buddies want to go back to watching sports. i don't get it. i would like this to end as well. the hysteria does not help the markets. >> yeah, very volatile in the stock market, that is true. >> casting your ballot early is not so simple. new numbers out this weekend show that voters are not backing down. rs are not backing down ♪ ♪ smooth driving pays off with allstate, the safer you drive the more you save you never been in better hands allstate click or call for a quote today

we have new numbers to you you. joe biden leading by just three points. voters across that state wait in long low pressures outside of the early polling locations. joining me now is a criminal justice reporter at the texas tribune. welcome to you on this sunday. that is a whopping number, six million already casting ballots in texas. there is an order allowing counties to have multiple mail in ballot drop off sites. that has been upheld, but an appeal has halted opening some of them. what is behind this case and how has it impacted the voting process. >> text has pretty strict

requirements. the people that can cast ballots by mail are able to drop them off at locations, but there is only one drop off location according to the governor directing per county. in places like harris county that has houston, that is a very big county and there has been a lot of challenges to that. in federal court it was upheld that you can only have one per county. but it is now going through the state courts and right now it is only hold, but the texas supreme court is now considering whether or not each county can have multiple drop off locations for the mail in ballots. >> isn't harris county something like the size of rhode island. it's like an hour and a half drive, right from one end to another. someone that wants to drop of their ballot has to go an hour and a half. >> yeah, harris county is about 1700 square miles.

that has been a lot of argument that the democrats and the voting rights groups have been coming forward with how it is very limiting if you're trying to drop off your ballot, if you're not trusting or aware of, you know, if you go through the u.s. postal service if it will get there in time. >> yeah, it sounds like just common sense. there is also a ruling that if anyone is sick and seeks an absentee ballot still needs a doctor's note? >> that is longstanding law. so texas is pretty strict on who can g get mail in ballots. it's for people that get sick after the registration -- the requirement to get the mail in ballot on a normal level. so you have emergency mail in ballots that are starting as of yesterday. you have to get an emergency ballot to vote absentee. and that is generally for people

who get sec after tick after th deadline. there was groups trying to restrict the necessity of a doctor's note since many people don't actually interact with a fa suggesti physician. it is standing law and the court said changing it at this state in the game would be confusing for voters. >> there is nothing different than that, everyone was penalized by that, right? >> it affects everyone, everyone would need a doctor's note. they're trying to have a free telehealth service to be able to get people doctor's notes if they need one. >> how concerned are you overall about these rulings. it makes it seem harder for

people in texas to vote. >> yeah, there has been groups that said texas is one, if not the hardest state to vote. that is something that democrats have been pushing back hard against and voting rights advocates have been pushing back hard against because there has been a lot of litigation in the last month or so. challenging expansions to voting access in this pandemic. now they're halfway through early voting and close to election day. >> thanks for weighing in and clarifying all of that for us. all of the president's predictions at this point, are they wishful thinking? we'll have more after this. they wishful thinking? we'll have more after this ♪ [ engines revving ] ♪

so citi foundation is supporting girl scouts as they empower young leaders through civic education to help create a better tomorrow. - [joe] i'm joe biden and i approve this message. - [narrator] four years ago, donald trump asked black america a simple question. - what do you have to lose? - [narrator] since then, we've seen a rise in racial violence and white supremacy, an increase in poverty while giving tax cuts to the rich, 200,000 dead from covid. one in five are black. we've lost our jobs, our businesses, our dignity, and even our lives. and he dares to ask-- - what the hell do you have to lose? - [narrator] damn near everything. snot surprisingly we're back with the race for 2020. joe biden is up nearly eight points nationally the

battleground states are showing a tighter race with pennsylvania, wisconsin, and michigan. many of these are still within the margin of error. the president is giving a different take on where the race stands. >> i think we're doing very well. the numbers are coming in unbelievably well. i don't believe the media is talking about them. i'm not sure the media knows exactly what is happening yet, but in florida we're doing very well. north carolina doing very well. we're going to have a great red wave like you have never seen before. >> joining me now is michael moore. filmmaker and host of the podcast "rumble." what do you think of what president said there? do you think the media doesn't know things and it will be a big red wave? >> last time i remember hearing about a red wave the egyptians

were chasing moses across the red sea. >> it is a sunday, a church day, i appreciate the old testament relevance here. lets go to though. we shared the ones that have biden mostly in the lead, but then you hear the president with those predictions, nine days to go. whether it's in your state of michigan or anywhere else in this country, michael, are you seeing any red flags that suggest the president can pull this out and repeat that success that was unexpected by most in 2016? >> i understand why four years ago most people thought that he was going to lose. listen, anything can happen, obviously. and everybody between now and election day should operate as if anything can happen. nobody should be smug, nobody should be -- you know, the football players who do the end

zone dance on the 2-yard line before they cross over the goal, they think they've already scored the touchdown and they get whacked from behind? that's what happened in 2016, and i think we have to make sure that nobody does that end zone dance too early. >> yeah. >> having said that, i think actually the opposite of what trump thinks. the media are playing it so careful now because of the mistakes that were made by nearly every pundit back in 2016, including the "new york times" on the front page of election day where they said that trump had only a 15% chance of winning. everybody is so afraid now of not doing that this time that maybe they also can't see how things are going to go this year, how they more than likely are going to go. you've got a president that has

done everything he can to lose, to the point where i've been wondering some days, does he really want to win? first of all, why would -- any other president would have seized the coronavirus, taken the reins and tried to have been the hero, especially when this was killing his largest demographic in 2016 that was over 65. instead of coming to their aid and defense, he let them die. now we're having this huge wave, the largest day ever with coronavirus was, i think, friday. you know, you've had dr. redliner on msnbc saying this could get to 2,500 deaths a day. why trump would be killing off his voters, historians and political scientists are going to have to figure this out in the future. but to do that and to, you know,

70% of the eligible voters a week from tuesday are either women, people of color or young adults between 18 and 35. i've just named the three groups that test donald trump the most. and that's the wave he's facing. the people that he has offended, the people that he has made bigoted comments about, that's what's facing him now. and the fact that he has tried to suppress the vote, has tried to make it so hard for people to vote. who would try to prevent people from voting other than the person who believes he's going to lose? because you don't want people voting, you want to reduce the vote. if you thought you were going to win, you would make it so easy for people to cast their ballots, to make sure every ballot got there to the post office. he's done the opposite. he's just admitting, then, that

he knows that the american people are sick and tired of these four years and cannot wait to see him go. >> so, you know, michael, you talk about those groups that you say he's offended and they're the ones that really dislike him the most and they're the ones who are going to be in joe biden's camp here. do you think, when you hear trump campaign officials or just administration officials, they come out and say, look, we understand that maybe he's not for everybody personalitywise, but he's accomplished so many great things, vote for him because of his record, not because you maybe don't like the way he says something or his phrases. is there any validity to that? >> his record of what? we have -- the official unemployment numbers right now are 23 million americans without a job. it's probably much higher than that. a record where people are just struggling to get by.

all the small businesses that have closed, many of them permanently. the economy is wrecked, the coronavirus response has cost the lives of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people. what's been his greatest accomplishment, moving his embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem? i tell you, out there in milwaukee and flint, that really put food on the table tonight. no. i'm telling you, he has so ruined every chance he might have had. what he'll have is he'll have his base, those 63 million that voted for him in 2016. i'm confident they will be there for him a week from tuesday. but that's 63 million. you had nate silver on here -- huh? >> no, go ahead. last thought, you can wrap this one up. >> 63 million he had, but nate

silver and others are suggesting we may have 165 million voting, 30 million more than last time. where is he picking up those new votes? you realize hillary won by 3 million. biden could win -- please, people at home, don't sit back in your chair and go, oh, i don't need to go vote, we're okay here. no. but he could have blown it -- he might blow it as bad to lose by 10 million votes this time. it's important, though -- that's why you have to vote, because just winning the popular vote, as we know, isn't enough. to guarantee to win the electoral college means he has to be crushed. there has to be a tsunami, a tsunami of ballots -- >> to prevent the affairs of election repercussions and going back to something we had in 2016.

michael, i love having you on, but unfortunately my epa is saying we have to go. >> thank you so much. i enjoy it. >> our viewers do, too. thanks, michael. that's going to do it for me. i'm alex witt. thank you for watching us this weekend. yasmin vossoughian is up to tell you how much your signature can account for your ballot this november. t this november
