to wisconsin where we just filed a case or michigan or if you look at what's happening in georgia, pennsylvania. if you look at nevada which is moving along very rapidly, for arizona, you saw those numbers come out yesterday, we found massive fraud and in other states also this is probably the most fraudulent election anyone's ever seen. >> reporter: do you still have confidence in bill barr? >> president trump: asked me that in a number of weeks from now. they should be looking at all of this fraud. this is not civil, this is criminal stuff. this is very bad criminal stuff so i'll just say this. we went through an election, at 10:00 everybody said there was an easy victory for trump. all of a sudden the votes started disappearing, miraculously disappearing, we found much of it but we found far more votes than we need. in all o almost all of these das and at the guy can say in all of these dates far more votes than we need to win and everyone of them and i just want to thank my team because my team is doing an unbelievable job and more importantly i want to thank the 74 million plus people that

the president had every recourse in the state of georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, can i see. they' wisconsin. one minor victory in the state of pennsylvania. supreme court of the united states twice said go away. we see no evidence, no case, no standing, see no proof of what was at issue. what does the president have to prove? widespread fraud, not in one or two states, he would have to flip more states. it was laid out. it is useful to show the system is strong enough to withstand unprecedented attacks from the sitting president of the united states. we're going to get to the end of the day, have math that looks like that, joe biden will officially be the president-elect. more republicans willing to say that? that's one of the big questions. no question what the outcome will be. one legitimate question is will the rest of the republicans, those that stood behind the president saying keep suing, trying, challenging, will they finally say get over it. >> want to be sure all our viewers in the united states and around the world see democracy in action on this historic day. you a

by law, pennsylvania or georgia, to vote in any way. so we're hoping that the electors in pennsylvania and georgia, 36 votes, will vote for biden. >> tomorrow's vote takes place at 2:00 p.m. local time. california's vote could secure president-elect joe biden's presidency. >>> eddie garcia's days of policing might not be over. the job he is reportedly in the running for. >>> and a north bay high school that dumped sir francis drake as its name is getting great day on the lake! it is. lunch is cookin'! and i saved a bunch of money on my boat insurance with geico. fellas, can it get any better than this? whoa! my old hairstyle grew back. so did mine.

bipartisan policy center is excited to bring you this panel of chief election officials from georgia, pennsylvaniachigan and wisconsin. election officials were under the microscope this year like never before. they had to combat misinformation on an unprecedented scale and they did it while being attacked personally and professionally. we are so lucky today to have pbs newshour's white house correspondent to moderate thisa correspondent, to monitor this discussion. >> thank you for that discussion and thank you so much for having this. i just tweeted out that i'm so excited to sit down with these secretaries of state. we have the georgia secretary of state, brad raffinsperger and we'll later have secretary benson. the electoral class has voted. joe biden is the president-elect. is there anything left to do on your part and what is the thing about this election that you wished all americans could know and would know? i'll start with you, secretary bookvar. >> good morning. thanks so much for having all of us on. it's a great day for democracy. so let's see, i guess i would start out by saying no. s

what we can't have, again, are states whether it's pennsylvania, georgia, wisconsin, michigan, changingthose votes diluting the votes of other states like arkansas. that's why arkansas is all in this fight. is because i want to protect the votes of the people of the state of arkansas. todd: finally a.g. rutledge all eyes on the clock when it comes to cases, contesting the election throughout the course of the last couple weeks. but, specifically, with regard to this case. the number of legal experts have said there is, quote, a fatal flaw because of an unreasonable delay going against the legal laches because nobody knows what that is. that is an argument that seems to be very, very front and center. how do you respond to that argument? >> well, the same critics if we had filed this suit before the election would have said well it's too early it's not ripe in legal terms. now it's too late according to the experts. let's let the supreme court decide whether or not this case has merit and whether or not we can move forward and protect the votes of the people of our respective states. aga

they're going after georgia, michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin. a lot of electoral votes there..c. is making the state legislators make the law on elections and no one else. explain to us whether or not it has merit. >> yes, it has a lot of merit in my view. i've been troubled ever since even before the election that there's been these gross violations of the constitution by state officials taking actions that are reserved under the constitution of the united states to the legislatures. you just can't do that. so i understand why trending today is god bless texas. because at least the issue is being put up cleanly before the supreme court of the united states. frankly it's about time that some states stepped up allowing this process to unfold as we've seen the last several weeks and now just put the issue pure and simple, can you have these violations of state law that may have contributed to -- may not, that's a point, may have contributed to the results that we've seen and therefore there is a real problem in terms of harm to texas that voted strongly for president trump. it's

and at 11:45 a.m., the bipartisan voting center looks at -- pennsylvania and georgia. you're watching c-span, created by america's cable company as a public service and brought to you by your television provider. >> now we take you to the state of iowa. you remember that they kicked off the election with the first caucus held in january and now the six electors meeting today to cast their votes in the state capital of des moines. the votes were cast for president trump and vice president mike pence. >> >> it is an honor for me to be here today.

pennsylvania, georgia, nevada, wisconsin. the doj appears to be distancing itself from these legitimate claims. sworn affidavits. attorney general barr has stated that the department of justice remains open to investigating voter fraud. great. what is he actually doing? i have to ask myself. why are election materials and voting machines not being gathered and preserved for investigation? evidence in our possession and make sure we have it substantiated, documented. thoroughly investigating all legitimate claims of voter fraud is an absolute bare minimum. we are obligated, the department of justice is obligated, attorney general barr is obligated to ensure a trustworthy electoral process. in order to regain the trust of our citizens and the integrity of our very own ballots, we must collect all those facts, all the evidence, and leave no stone unturned. hill to dieis not a on. this is the hill to die on. if we don't do the right thing and thoroughly investigate all claims of voter fraud, our citizens will never, ever, ever fe

the seven states, georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, nevada, arizona. am i missing one?so it's the six states. i will speak to my state because i know what's going on there. you have a 10,400 vote separation between president trump and joe biden. you have a witness that was -- testimony that was given a week ago monday of 8,000 total votes where people not on ballot -- not on the rolls cast -- allegedly cast ballots. you had residence that in dispute or not properly noterized -- acknowledged. you also had 1.9 million early ballots and the question about those early ballots is, were they properly authenticed, where the affidavits there? that would more than compensate. i can tell you another event i'm going to go to in just a minute, we're going to talk about what's happened in arizona where the sample showed a 3% error rate. the follow-up sample of a larger sample had a smaller error rate, but still had an error rate. both of those, the first -- the 3% error rate would result in over 100,000 ballots changing hands. that's enough to overthrow the election -- or change the

michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia. president-elect joe biden spoke after the electoral college certified the vote count, declaring him the official winner of the white house. mr. biden spoke from wilmington, delaware, sing the results were clear and the american people have spoken. this is about 15 minutes. were clear and the american people had spoken. this was about 15 minutes. pres.-elect biden: good evening, my fellow americans. have -- the electors have certified the winning candidates. today, a member of the electoral college representing the certified winner cast their votes for vice president of the united states in an act as old as the nation itself. , the rule of law, our constitution, and the will of the people prevailed. our democracy pushed, tested, threatened or approved to be resilient. the electoral college vote which occurred today reflects the fact that even in the face of a public health crisis unlike anything we have heard in our lifetimes, the people voted. more americans voted this year than have

giving joe biden the win and the electors are expected to reflect that outcome officials in georgia pennsylvania and nevada have all already voted for the democrat trying pat's all to overturn the results in all 3 states while nationwide the electoral college has $538.00 members but each state's a member number of electors is based on the size of its population to win a candidate needs at least 270 votes a joe biden has be donald trump by sri 106-2232 but electors can also defy the choice of their states vote voters and cast their ballots for somebody besides the winner they're known as faithless electors they can be penalized by state authorities would need at least a $38.00 to the fact to hold on to the french presidency but that is unlikely to happen as electors are hard core loyalists picked by the state's winning party so it would require a democratic electors to vote for trump she had recounts he joins us live now from wilmington delaware so it's unlikely as we said it would require democrats to vote for trump but we have had that faithless voters in the past any anyone's likely to come up

he's asking the supreme court to block electors in pennsylvania, georgia, michigan and wisconsin from voting on monday. that's the day when the electors gather together to determine who the next president of the united states will be. what paxton wants is for the supreme court to throw the issue back to the states and let the legislatures in those states decide. should point out, the legislatures in all four states, the house and the senate are controlled by republicans. it's more than likely if it did go back to the states, they would seek trump electors as opposed to biden electors, which would be something. >> bill: jonathan turley is coming up. john roberts on the north lawn. right now, an fda advisory panel getting very close to voting on emergency use of the covid vaccine. that panel is in a break. they have about two hours to deliberate. we don't know when they take the vote. it's not the final step. fda officials have to sign off if the vote is yes. dr. marc siegel with me now. good day to you. i know you've been listening. what is your read on this hearing so far, doc? >> bil

conspiracy theories asking the court to invalidate the results in four states trump lost, georgia, pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. this morning those states are asking the supreme court to reject the case calling it a seditious abuse of the judicial process. courts nationwide have rejected baseless election fraud claims from president trump and his allies. but a new poll finds only 60% of voters view joe biden's victory as legitimate and only 23% of republicans. but this morning some republicans are speaking out against trump's efforts including texas senator john cornyn. >> i do not understand the legal theory. i don't want other states having a chance to change texas law based on a similar effort. >> reporter: and senator mitt romney saying this. >> madness. it's just simply madness. >> reporter: in the meantime, democrats accuse paxton of filing the suit as a way of fishing for a pardon. reports surfaced last month that paxton is under federal criminal investigation. seven of his top aides wrote this letter to human resources at the texas attorney general's office claiming he used agen

officials in battleground states like georgia, pennsylvania and arizona are among those who voted forhe democrat. trump has falsely claimed there was massive vote rigging. dozens of cases filed by his campaign failed. william barr is resigning amid trump's accusations he hasn't done enough to investigate the president's false claims of election fraud. trump made the announcement on twitter, saying he just met with barr and his relationship with the attorney general has always been a good one. trump said barr was planning to step down before christmas. let's get the latest from our correspondent in delaware. we talked about the final hurdles to confirming the next president, legal arguments aside , is this now where we can draw a line and the whole process for joe biden, he is the president the echo -- the president-elect? >> with hawaii's four electoral college votes, which will be cast any minute, i'm sure biden hopes that is the case but there is one more hurdle. january 6 will be when these electoral college votes will be counted and certified in congress. there are some reports th

the presidential election the challenge to president elect joe biden's victories in michigan georgia pennsylvania and wisconsin justices ruled that takes this didn't have the right to challenge how other states run their elections to defeat a huge setback for trump in his bid to seize electoral victory from biden. from all that's go to orlando and speak to professor michael t. morley and election and constitutional law expert from florida state university professor welcome it seemed to be widely expected that this challenge by texas would fail which turned out to be correct why did the supreme court dismiss it. the supreme court held that texas lacked standing to challenge the results of the other states elections the presidential election in the united states we often think of it as a single nationwide unitary event when in reality it's conducted as a series of $51.00 separate elections within each of the 50 states as well as the district of columbia and so the supreme court held that it lacked jurisdiction over texas' challenge because it said the state of texas didn't have legal interest in ho

the lawsuit filed before the supreme court arguing that 62 electoral college votes in georgia, michigan, pennsylvania wisconsin should be invalidated because the states acted unconstitutionally when expanding mail-in voting, they have until 3:00 o'clock today to file response to supreme court. kim paxton will join me live at 8:00 a.m. hour to go through the lawsuit and take a lack -- look at the election. the u.s. reporting more than 3,000 deaths in a single day. health and human secretaries alex azar says they could start distributing the vaccine as early as next week pending approval of fda meeting today to discuss that. well, the united kingdom issuing a warning saying that two people have had severe allergic reactions to the vaccine including fever and muscle pain. experts say these types of reactions are rare and both people have a history of severe allergic reaction. facebook in hot seat, federal trade commission and 48 states and territories are suing facebook, accusing the technology giant of buying and freezing out small start-ups to choke competition. the lawsuit target two major acquisitio

had supported the action to suit challenge president elect joe biden's victories in michigan georgia pennsylvania and wisconsin but justices ruled the texas didn't have the right to challenge other states run their elections he reacted with a tweet saying quote the supreme court really let us down. so the question i was whether this is the end of the road for donald trump's campaign to stop joe biden from taking office in january we put that question to michael moore he's an election law expert at florida state university. well this one of the things that made the texas suit so unique and again the court held they didn't even have jurisdiction a lot of commentators had pointed out the numerous procedural and jurisdictional hurdles that it faced but one of the unique aspects of the texas suit is that it essentially sought to bring the entire election before the supreme court that it identified 4 different states where texas claimed it had statutory and constitutional problems and invited the court to to handle the issue in one fell swoop they're still read there are still cases pending in the lowe

texas attorney general ken paxton is now you suing georgia, michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin overlts. paxton said in a statement, by ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens' votes but of texas and every other state that held law full elections. general, what do you think is going to happen here? the supreme court has this suit on the docket. we know that the state legislatures went against the constitution in terms of looking at taking votes that came in before election day, after 8:00 on election day, and we're waiting on the supreme court to rule. what's your take on where we are right now, general, after this election? >> well, a couple of comments. first of all, lower courts i think have shown a lack of courage to make decisions based on what is mounting and mounting and really credible evidence and that's been placed in front of them and i watched all of the different states and all the different -- as many cases as possible. the supreme court and our constitutional process in this country first of all, this

in solidarity with that today, republican electors in pennsylvania and georgia went ahead and cast protest votes in favor of president trump in hopes that a future lawsuit might succeed. this is actually worked once before in the state of hawaii back in 1960 when democrats challenged richard nixon's victory and flipped the state to john f. kennedy. but, tonight, joe biden is expected to declare a victory for democracy and, quote, the right of every vote to be heard with millions of americans watching who do not believe that that is what happened on november 3rd. and they were out in force in d.c. over the weekend. new fox polls show nearly half of the country describes their current feeling as angry or, quote: scared. so, with that as a back drop and the means that a biden presidency is likely to face a lot of opposition out there from day one. also tonight, new details that we're learning in the hunter biden story raising big concerns about the rising infiltration of china in politics and in american businesses. senator rand paul deroy murdock, jonathan turley and the "new york post" so r

an effort by the state of texas to file with the supreme court arguing that the results in georgia pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin could not be certified that the election results there were not legitimate the supreme court threw out the case and declined to rule on it as a result it appears that as the electoral college vote proceeds joe biden will get the majority of the electoral votes however it will be on january 6th that the u.s. congress will count those electoral votes and certify the winner of the presidential election now it's important to note that in texas there are already calls to form what they're calling a union of the law abiding states and that some in the trump camp are moving in an interesting direction take a listen to this. supreme court and saucing the texas lawsuit has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law perhaps law abiding states should bond together and form a union of states that will abide by the constitution now there are very clear divisions inside the country this weekend we yet again saw clashes between left

the election results now what happened was the state of texas filed a motion they filed for georgia pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin to not be certified they asked the u.s. supreme court to step in but the u.s. supreme court said no the u.s. supreme court simply said that it was not going to hear the case it threw out the case in a fact and as a result today's electoral votes i went ahead and joe biden won the majority of those electoral votes now it's interesting that there have been some key words from figures in the republican party of texas making clear that they want to form some kind of the union of law abiding states let's take a listen to. the supreme court and tossing the texas lawsuit has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law perhaps law abiding states should bond together and form a union of states that will abide by the constitution now there have been big divisions in us society we have seen instances over the past few years of left wing groups and right wing groups fighting each other this recent weekend in olympia washington the

had a situation where texas was filing and attempting to invalidate the election results in georgia pennsylvania michigan and wisconsin this was backed by 17 republican party controlled states and 106 house republicans in the u.s. house of representatives the supreme court threw out the case they didn't they didn't proceed to hear the case they simply threw it out and so based on that the electoral college has now proceeded to go ahead and vote and now we have voices in texas that are calling for a union of law abiding states to be formed this is what we've heard from texas. the supreme court and tossing the texas lawsuit has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law perhaps law abiding states should bond together and form a union of states that will abide by the constitution. now the divisions in the united states are becoming more intense there have been increasingly not only instances of intense political division but also instances of violence this weekend we saw a sex situation in olympia where a riot was declared one person was shot as a right

rejected a legal application by the state of texas seeking to invalidate voting results in georgia, michigan, pennsylvaniayet another blow to republicans supporting donald trump's attempts to overturn election results in key states which were won by the democratic president—elect joe biden. 0ur washington correspondent nomia iqbal has more details. yes, it was a very brief, unsigned one—sentence order, basically saying no to donald trump, and it was quite an audacious lawsuit, challenging those four key battleground states, as you mentioned there, and the trump team had argued that because those states had expanded mail—in voting due to the coronavirus pandemic, that that was unlawful somehow, and it was backed by more than 100 republicans in congress, many state attorney—generals, but tonight the supreme court looked at this and said no, they don't believe that texas has the legal standing to make this case. it is interesting, james, because although it was a 7—2 ruling with alito and thomas dissenting, actually it was really 9—0, because alito and thomas have this sort of quirky procedural view where th

the win the electors are reflecting that outcome officials in battleground states such as georgia pennsylvania and arizona are among those who voted for the democrat trumpet's falsely claimed that there was massive vote rigging dozens of cases filed by his camp a failed so far by an accused of trying to sabotage the will of millions of voters by challenging the results. this legal maneuver was an effort by elected officials and one group of states to try to get the supreme court to wipe out the votes of more than 20000000 americans in other states and to hand the presidency to a candidate who lost the electoral college lost the popular vote and lost each and every one of the states whose votes they were trying to reverse its position so large tree we've never seen it before but the action every future respect the will of the people refuse respect the rule of law and refuse to honor our constitution she had her times in wilmington where biden gave that address and he says the president elect's was trying to strike an upbeat. despite that portion chastising the republicans for their attacks on t

he is suing georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin and saying i want you to be kept out of the electoral college process for the moment. he is arguing all of the individual cases are arguing. the individual bodies lacked authorities to change the rules. the rules were thus unconstitutional part and the rules were and equitably applied. kennedy: how can one agc for states? i love it it's bold, fun. but it is weird. >> he is going all in part also as a separate case in error jonah were just today the lawyers argued to the judge please hurry up with their decision so we can add arizona to that one. it's five states to hail mary to be honest. that too comes into play that's what all the legal challenges have to be in for this the day that will live in infancy anthony. make sure there's time for various courts to hear these challenges bush v gore that went on a little longer didn't it? >> yes and justice breyer in his dissent on that casey said action the date that really mattered is for this year the 1h is the date the electoral college actually meets. and note that wisconsin will
