cnn's amara walker is joining us live from cobb county in georgia. what are you seeing on the ground right now? >> reporter: right now the poll here in cobb county is about to close in about a half hour. so the lines are significantly shorter, as you can see. the wait time about 15 to 30 minutes. but you're right, some really long wait lines around the state here at this particular location the peak wait time was about three hours. and part of the reason why we're seeing such long lines, wolf, is that so many polling stations around the state are still having problems with the electronic poll pads. those are the electronic voter check-in systems that basically verifies voter registration and then generates an i.d. card for the voter to vote. today the georgia secretary of state brad rathensberger acknowledged this is a statewide issue that we're seeing slowdowns in the system because there's just not enough bandwidth, enough capacity as all the polling stations are loppinging into the state's e-net system which is the digital data records system. now

cobb, even as recent as 2017, even after hillary was a republican stronghold.hat's becoming purple. for senate or any statewide, you have to do well in fulton and really get your guys out in cobb and so we'll see if the president can do that or if biden is trying to cut into that. >> matt, i'm curious. i've not seen -- it does -- look, if i were the trump campaign, i guess i would be like, bill stepien once said it has to be a given that trump carries ohio, iowa and georgia. and yet, all three of those states, and i'll throw in texas there, i still feel like there's a harder ceiling on biden in texas than on these other three. but doesn't look like the -- it looks like the campaign is ba basically rolling the dice saying, if we're wasting a day campaigning in ohio, that's one less day we can win a voter in wisconsin. so they're doing that. how big of a mistake could that be? >> i don't know if it's a mistake. may be a necessity at this point. correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe hillary pulled out of ohio in large part by that point. i was the biggest skeptic

i think the interesting county is cobb county.hat is where hillary clinton won in 2016. 25 years ago this was newt gingrich home district. it of white voters can meet up african-american voters and you have white suburban voters who vote in cobb county, so we will see whether or not the suburban vote is key to a turnout and an outcome in 2020 or how critical is it. north carolina, this is charlotte, raleigh over here in the east. this is asheville in the west i'm going to pick this county this is rutherford county it is rural, it is largely white, and the president did very well wit 74 percent of the vote in 2016. you watch these role votes come in often times they come in early in the night rather than some of the big cities. we will see whether or not he can match that. not a ton of voters out there, just about 30,000, but it's something the white house will be keyed up on in 2020. up the coast of pennsylvania, this is pittsburgh, this is philadelphia. this is obvious, but i think it's important to both campaign to determine who

what has changed there since you left cobb county 20 years ago? >> the state changed a great deal.t's more cosmopolitan and suburban. there is a fantasy this is the time the democrats will win. my guess is trump will carry georgia by 6 or 7 and the polls are just wrong. the turnout on the republican side will be bigger than people expect. i think senator purdue will win out right and the other senate seat will go into a runoff which we will win in january. my bias is simple. most of these polls are just plain wrong. i trust some. the rest of the polls are just junk. the "washington post" and nbc poll showed trump behind 17 points in wisconsin. i would bet $1,000 to a favorite charity with whoever did that poll they are off by at least 15 points. it's just crazy. >> bill: okay, your answer on georgia defies what a lot of the reporting has concluded. we will see what happens on tuesday. what do you think the state of play is today 6 days out? >> i think 6 days out that trump is likely to carry every state he has to carry to win the electoral college. any time you see a national poll

you look at what happened in the suburbs outside of atlanta in cobb, guinnette counties.ation explosion has been substantial and it's more diverse. back in 1996 when i was cutting my teeth in my first presidential campaign as a 20-year-old college student bob dole won georgia with 77% of the white vote. 77% white vote at the time. he beat bill clinton. when stacey abrams ran in 2018, that voting block was only 60% white. those demographic changes are significant. so the republican party, although it has dominated on state and local levels from 2010 to 2018 was very successful in winning state and local races, that is not really a true picture of where things are going because things are changing in many places. texas is another example where the fact that texas is even in play is remarkable. these demographic changes are inevitable and we are not adjusting to them. >> let me put up a map that draws that point home. when you look at the shifting population, over the last 20 years since the census, texas, florida, arizona are picking up next. the generation z, the young vot

>> sure, but you can't just blame trump for things that he says that aren't true, or the supers he cobbcconcocts. he's had help from the u.s. senate, from the republicans in congress. he's had help from republican governor and republican operatives all over the country. he as been saying forever that obama-gate or the unmasking was going to be the biggest scandal of the century, bigger than anything the country has ever had. it's nobody been dismissed, it's gone. the senators, the house members, the office holders who bought into the conspiracy theories, a false conspiracy, one that didn't ever exist, they have a lot to answer for. the news has a responsibility to talk about the falsehoods that politicians talk about on both sides. the media has become so bifurcated, such a wild wild west, that it can often shut down facts. that's part of the problem, and american voters need to be discerning. don't just buy into the stuff your family and friends send you to on social media. it might be entertaining, but it isn't educating. >> tonight we have dueling town has, it wi halls. do you think

: yeah, the line is a little better than the last time i talked to you according to the website in cobb county, it is now down to three hours, which is better than four. but you can see how the line wraps around, doubles back here. the people who got here the earliest this morning arrived at 4:30 a.m. before the doors opened at 8:00 a.m.. and there are only 15 machines inside, so that's one of the frustrations that some of these voters have been telling me about. this line doubles back right here and then it actually goes all the way down this other corridor on the other side of the door. so there is much more to the line that you can't see on camera here. but there are people in line who are first-time voters. there are people in line who brought their dogs, brought their children, who are not of voting age, just because they wanted them to experience this. they brought their lawn chairs, their coffee. they're all prepared. here are what a couple of voters told us this morning about why they came and why it was important to them. >> we decided we all received absentee ballots, but in m

look at gwinnett and cobb, the big counties outside of atlanta, barack obama lost them by about 60,000 votes and hillary clinton narrowly won them in 2016 by about 26,000 votes. stacey abrams pushed that margin up. it's same path in texas for biden and arizona where a poll out today has him waning in maricopa which is phoenix and no -- >> biden talked about needed to rebuild the blue wall across the rust belt and wisconsin and michigan and pennsylvania. let's be honest. we know that polls are not always right. maybe pollsters have corrected the mistakes they made four years ago but they are not fact. they are projections and snapshots. today, one week out from election day biden is in georgia. if biden doesn't win, say, pennsylvania, we are going look back on today and say why wasn't he in pennsylvania rather than georgia? >> that is always the risk of going beyond your core strategy states. but that being said, biden has spent more time in pennsylvania than in any other state in the general election because they know how central it is to his prospects. the risk that we all face in a w
