evening, the democratic national committee after hours filed a petition to intervene. this morning, sometime around 9:00, i guess, a set of supplemental papers were filed on behalf of the plaintiff, the first of which was something that addressed supplemental was ane, it says, and it affidavit. additionally, there was a petition filed for injunctive release. the court determined even without proof of service that because of the nature of the proceeding, i needed to put it in the middle of our case call and we would let parties come forward and say what they needed to say in as quick a manner as we could. the court has not ruled on the .etition to intervene while the court made a determination of any standing and if intervention would be granted, the court set a hearing for 11:30, thinking that my morning call for the court of appeals would be done by then. unfortunately, one of my no power because totook us until about 10:40 get through the court of appeals docket, and it just concluded. i am very apologetic about that and appreciative of the patient's of all the parti

kevin hamilton for the democratic national committee. first, i would like to thank your honor for the opportunity to appear, and i will be brief. i believe the motion should be denied for several reasons. first, the plans have failed to establish an actual controversy 2.605, which would be necessary in order to pursue a claim, for the simple reason that the factual record before thecourt doesn't support , just pointed out that the counting boards ours largely complete now, so the relief is simply unavailable. on the first point, no evidence in the record would allow the the --o conclude that and necessary finding to enter injunctive relief here. affidavit obviously is hearsay,perhaps double and that is simply insufficient under any standard to justify declaratory relief. moreover, as we have outlined in our papers, and i know your honor hasn't had the chance to review those yet, they say the wrong defendant. the secretary does not offer the counting boards, they are created and operated by local governments. those local governments were

they could be from the democratic national committee. joe biden could have voted 50 times, as far as we know. or 5000 times. the ballots could be from canada. philadelphia has a reputation for voter fraud. you have a reputation of dead people voting. we are going to look at how many people dead people voted here. you have a reputation for people being bussed in from camden and voting here. it would not be the first time that happened. this goes way beyond any of that. let me also add, this isn't happening just here. we have exactly the same lawsuit in wisconsin. exactly the same thing happened. in wisconsin, mysteriously at 3:00 in the morning, 120,000 ballots appeared. here come these ballots. well, we have no idea if they really are ballots. we have no idea if they are signed, if they are postmarked properly. if it is the same person who submitted 100,000 ballots. they all got counted. this is the way they intend to win. now i'm informed by former congressman sweeney, who has been going around the country and collecting this informatio

they could be from mars, they could be from the democratic national committee. >> here in wilmington we did briefly yesterday afternoon see joe biden, he came out and expressed confidence he will win this. here's what he had to say. >> i am confident we will emerge victorious. this will not be my victory alone or our victory alone. it will be a victory for the american people, for our democracy, for america and there will be no blue states and red states when we win. just the united states of america. >> reporter: finally the deadline for ballot counting in pennsylvania, november 10th, in nevada it is november 12th, next thursday, north carolina and georgia the thirteenth but we may get some results today, georgia is close, two counties outstanding of a may have them and we will learn those results later today. todd: thank you. jillian: senior advisor corey lewandowski said the polls were wildly wrong going into election day and they see opportunities in arizona and pennsylvania. take a look. >> we feel good about our numbers in arizona. we have seen our steady increase. if you remem

the short list right now, contenders for that include tom perez for labor, chair of the democratic national committeeformer secretary of labor but also senator bernie sanders who has really been gunning for this position, trying to pressure the biden administration to consider him for this spot but also to candidates tied to the cio, union organization key to delivering support for biden and also bill spriggs on that list. those announcements after thanksgiving into next week. connell: now as we circle back to the white house, a newsmaking tweet from the president while hillary was reporting. >> as we were talking, president trump tweeted a moment ago he has pardoned his first national security advisor, michael flynn. let me take you to the tweet. as of three minutes ago. it's my great honor, he says, do not general flynn has been granted a full pardon. congratulations to his wonderful family. i know you will have a truly fantastic thanksgiving. this is something we were expecting that we have been told would be coming and now the president made it official. just to give you the brief back story, mic

joining us to discuss the chairman of the democratic national committee tom paron. ining us. i want to talk about the state of play. democrats picked up two senate seats, they lost one. they're wait on the georgia runoffs to see who controls the senate next year in the house which the democrats obviously have controlled since they've scored so many wins in 2018. the party lost seats. they've dramatically mirrored in state legislatures, democrats did not do all that great down ballot contests. what happened to the so-called blue wave that so many were anticipating? >> well, i think it's important to ask ourselves the question where were we four years ago and where are we now. four years ago we had 15 governors, we have 24. we have speaker nancy pelosi as of 2018. we've won almost 400 seats in the legislature. split legislative bodies. have we won as many seats as we wanted? no, we didn't. in congress, you look at the seats we lost they were seats we won in twaifgt. look at new mexico, really good number in congress. there was trump plus 12 or 13 districts. oklahoma, s

it seems to me somebody from the democratic national committee sent out a note that said do not let the republicans look at those mail-in ballots. at least not in the big democratic hacked cities that we control. we have done a lot to destroy the cities, and that we will destroy the right to vote. my friend, you just tell what happened to you, who you are and what happened. brooks --rrell duck out take your mask off. take your mask off. >> i support the president and that is one of the reason why i go to the polls, to watch. a lot of people were excited about the president winning a second term and a lot of people, african-americans in philadelphia were talking about the 401(k) pant -- plan and they were excited about the finances. when i went to the polls, they put us at 20 feet away and they said no cameras, no phones. you cannot take pictures. then next thing you know, it was six feet away and they still would not allow us to see anything that was happening. we saw people working on the ballots but we did not know any names. we do not know if people voted twice or three times. we did

they could be from mars as far as we are concerned, or they could be from the democratic national committee. joe biden could have voted 5000 times as far as we know. the ballots could be from camden. philadelphia has a reputation for voter fraud. we have a reputation for dead people voting. we will look at how many dead people voted. we should not have to do that but we well. you have reputation of people being bused in from camden. would not be the first time that happened. this goes way beyond any of that. let me also add this is not happening just here. we have exactly the same lawsuit in wisconsin, where exactly the same thing happened, except in morningn at 4:00 in the , 120,000 ballots appeared. here come these ballots. we have no idea if they are ballots. we have no idea if they are signed, if there postmarked properly, if it is not just the same person who submitted 100,000 ballots. they all got counted. this is the way they intend to by good now i'm informed former congressman sweeney, who has been going around the country collecting this information, a similar situation in arizona

mail ballots they could be from mars as far as we're concerned or they could be from the democratic national committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know of 5000 times the ballots could be from camden. philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud in georgia they filed a lawsuit and the aim of that is to make sure all the absentee and mail the ballots that were handed in past the election day deadline are rejected several lawsuits were also followed in the states of pennsylvania and michigan their claim from the republican is that the counting wasn't transparent enough and this explains why the program supporters are chanting stop the cal like here in detroit. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. if you listen to the speeches that we heard fro

mail ballots they could be from mars as far as we're concerned or they could be from the democratic national committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know with 5000 times. the ballots could be from camden. philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud in georgia they filed a lawsuit and the aim of that is to make sure all the absentee and mail the ballots that were handed in past the election day deadline are rejected several lawsuits were also followed in the states of pennsylvania and michigan and their claim from the republican is that the counting wasn't transparent enough and this explains why the program supporters are chanting stop the count like here in detroit but. beyond. odd to. to. if you listen to the speeches that we heard from both candidates pretty much their message was that they had already 'd won the message was very close to that perhaps it was way too soon for donald trump to do that because the numbers aren't looking good for him at all however the late as speech by democratic candidate joe biden once again i'm going

mail ballots they could be from mars as far as we're concerned or they could be from the democratic national committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know are 5000 times the ballots could be from camden philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud yeah so what are the facts say. a former mayor of new york and associate attorney general should know better maybe voters can vote cannot vote 50 or 5000 times like claimed not joe biden nor anybody else to vote by mail you have to be a rigorous 3rd board to voter and you have one vote according to several studies fraud is a rare in u.s. elections a data collection by the loyola law school only listed $45.00 incidents of voter fraud in the last 20 years and that in relation to more than 1000000000 ballots cast the head of the study confirmed to d.w. fact checkers by rudy giuliani insisted that mail in ballots in pennsylvania could be from everywhere from mars from the democrats or even from data people voting he doesn't deliver any evidence for this and independent election observers didn't find

mail ballots they could be from mars as far as we're concerned or they could be from the democratic national committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know of 5000 times. the ballots could be from camden. philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud you have a reputation for dead people voting and we're going to go look at just how many dead people voted here i don't think we have to do that but we will and you have a reputation for people being bussed in from camden voting here. so this was. a time for us in a war or furrowing to what's going on wisconsin and one of the districts in that state an extra 0 was added to the total number of voters which instantly made the number much higher than the population of that very district and instantly bad gave joe biden the lead eventually the mistake was corrected but that explains the unusual curve and just a dozen other example of how messy the counting could get now donald trump has already filed a lawsuit and georgia and the aim is to reject all the absentee and mailed and ballots that came in

mail ballots they could be from mars as far as we're concerned or they could be from the democratic national committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know with 5000 times the ballots could be from camden. philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud. in one of the districts of the state of wisconsin while the results were being published an extra 0 was added to the total number of voters which instantly made that number higher than the entire population of that district and that gave joe biden the lead then that mistake was corrected although you can still see that in that strange vertical bit in the curve and this is just one of the examples of how messy the counting could get now gone back to the lawsuits well 1st of all the republicans despite that mistake being corrected they are demanding that votes in wisconsin be recounted in georgia they filed a lawsuit and the aim of that is to make sure that all the absentee and many of them balance that came in past the election day deadline are rejected and also similar lawsuits were filed in

i would add to that, the important work eric holder is doing at the democratic national committee for redistricting that has been in the courts but also in the election to make sure this vote is one that is respected. the vote is respected, the vote result is a and the peaceful transfer of power. question comes from christina peterson with the "wall street journal >> thank you. talk about the implications of expanding your majority? how is that important in terms of what you can get done on the policy front door otherwise? always goodsi: it's to be able to represent the people of the district and meet their needs. your question takes us to the why -- why do people run? they run because they believe in our country. they run because they care about a particular subject, whether it's protecting the planet from the climate crisis, whether it's the education of our children in a way that is fair, the list that goes on and on. the one in five children in america in poverty. when people ask me what are the three most important issues, i say the same thing -- the children, the children, the c

mail ballots they could be from mars as far as we're concerned or they could be from the democratic national committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know with 5000 times. the ballots could be from camden. philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud you have a reputation with dead people voting and we're going to go look at just how many dead people voted here i don't think we have to do that but we will and you have a reputation of people being bussed in from camden voting here. so the president's side has already filed a lawsuit in georgia to make sure that the counting of absentee votes stops here like you were saying that's already been done in 2 other states and this is being echoed by pro trump supporters in michigan that are saying that the votes from the counting must stop right here right now. to. us. in the yard. now at the same time it's worth having a look to how both candidates are behaving a little earlier we heard from donald trump that he's ready to proclaim victory now at the same time joe biden for instance was saying t

mail ballots they could be from mars as far as we're concerned or they could be from the democratic national committee joe biden could have voted 50 times as far as we know a 5000 times. the ballots could be from camden. philadelphia unfortunately and say this about my own city has a reputation for voter fraud and one of the districts of the state of wisconsin while of the results were being announced an extra 0 was added to the total number of voters and instantly that number became higher than the entire population of that district which put joe biden in the lead and the weird bits and that curve summarizes it all however then the mistake was corrected still though the republicans demand that the votes in wisconsin be recounted now the republican camp also filed a lawsuit in the state of georgia where the aim is to pretty much make sure that all the absentee and mail the ballots that were handed in past the election day deadline are rejected several lawsuits were also followed in the states of pennsylvania and michigan and there there the claim from the republican is that the counting wasn't transpa

we can now speak to leah daughtry she is a former democratic national committee chief of staff and she joins us now also from washington d.c. lee i imagine you are celebrating today but before we get to that i want to just pick up where kristen left off obviously this is council ongoing litigation in the way and no concession yet from president you worry. not at all. first of all i don't think there are any i'm sorry expecting president trump to conceive that would not be his style but the conventions of government work we have been doing peaceful transition of power in this country for more than 200 years and so the electoral college will meet in december they will vote joe biden will become the president elect harris the vice president elect and we will proceed to gerry were 20 is when they will both be sworn in and president trump will no longer be the president he will have to leave. is there a sense here that there might need to be a moment of reckoning for the democratic party too though there was that predicted pretty wave that pollsters were saying was going to happen which we

seems to me, somebody from the democratic national committee sent out a little note that said, don't let the republicans look at those mail-in ballots. at least not in the big democratic hack cities that we control. he's done a lot to destroy those cities and now, we are going to destroy their right to vote. first, mytart off friend, you just tell us recently what happened, who you are and what happened. >> i am darrell from philadelphia. >> take your mask off. brooks, philadelphia resident, there about three years. i come out there to support our president and this is one of the reasons why i go to the polls to watch. a lot of us were excited about the president winning a second term and a lot of individuals, african americans in philadelphia, especially men were talking about the 401(k) plan and how they was excited because their finances. so when i go to the polls, it was basically -- they put us at 20 feet away and they said no cameras, no phones. you cannot take pictures. i was even harassed for some of the democratic party poll watchers and that was also recorded. next thing you

the same thing was done in north carolina -- seems to me that somebody from the democratic national committee sent out a note that said, don't let the republicans look at those mail-in ballots. at least not in the big democratic hacks cities that we control. he's done a lot to destroy those cities, and now we are going to destroy their right to vote. so let's start off first -- my briefly whatl them happened to you, who you are, like you described it before. >> my name is daryl, i'm from philadelphia -- >> take your mask off. >> thank you. terrell brooks, a philadelphia resident. i come out here to support our president, and this is why i go to the polls to watch. a lot of us were excited about the president winning a second term, and a lot of individuals, americans in philadelphia were talking about the presidents 401(k) plan and how they were excited because they would be financed. when i go to the polls, it was basically, they put us at 20 feet away and said no cameras, no phones, we cannot take pictures. i was also -- by some of the democratic party poll watchers, and that is also reporte

john there is a democratic strategist and a former communications director at the democratic national committee who joins us on skype from washington d.c. thank you time that's tonight and they know that legal challenges from team trump is this something that joe biden needs to be so keeping an eye out for and i don't mean about changing the result necessarily i'm talking more about the messaging that's coming from donald trump which is being taken out really wholeheartedly by his supporters. i think the message from the biden sample long has been to trust the process the counting took a lot of days and nobody rushed it from from biden camp it was always we're going to be fine let's wait and get all the you know and everybody can be confident about the process and think he'll be rushing any of the. process either so far team is there or can in post-election work and there's really been no evidence that would just as there was any hope of anything else going any further than that so this really does seem like that didn't trump is doing what he's done for 4 years which is to explain without evide
