blain, what a difficult story for you. are we any closer were not apparently able to get out?: that certainly is the big question. one of the biggest questions that remains is how exactly -- what the protocol was and why they were not able to get out. i want to show you this, though. we're a little more than 24 hours after that blaze. crews are still trying to get into the conception. we are here as dive teams got ready to go out. this is one of the sheriff's department boats ready to go out and work with in the recovery efforts. another left just a few minutes ago. hallie, they have a very difficult task ahead of them. that's because the conception is sub merged in 62 feet of water. we are talking about what's left of a boat that is under water. it's upside-down. and it is unstable. so it makes it incredibly difficult for the teams to get inside and get to the remaining victims inside there, hallie. of course the latest numbers tell the most devastating story. we're talking about 25 people confirmed dead. nine who are still unaccounted for. of course they are also feared dead

these are cases i believe in blaine county, montana is one example.the other would be south dakota cases where it had become commonplace to say we do not have enough money or elections, but these cases may have been resolved now, this is an issue where if you go to a jurisdiction and say our tried once a polling place, mostly will be refused on the grounds of cost and they will say you pay for it, provide the pole into the space and maybe we will let you have one. so projecting that would be hugely vital. >> incredibly un-american. mr. johnson, i just have a few seconds left. i am a former member of the pennsylvania legislature and i came in the special election. in 2012 right after voter id. i saw personally the consequences around my district. trying to help ugly people, young people, the barrier of voter certificates and all the rest. so, could you please explain how the identification requirements bar americans from exercising their right to vote? >> sure. in -10/2. >> sorry. sorry. >> we have never filed a seeking to vote under an assumed name. a
