. >> woodruff: so when you hear, as we've just a few moments ago heard congressman jim jordan of ohiong about things that he says went wrong or should be looked into in pennsylvania, he said some counties allow voters to cure their ballots, some didn't. some counties allow pre-canvassing of ballots, some didn't. i mean, are those the kinds of things that would call an election result into question? >> no, certainly not. all the states have been polled by the "new york times," and it's in this morning's paper, and none of the elected officials that are in charge of the elections found any fraud, any irregularities other than the normal one when you hav 150 million people voting. so this is all something ginned up by the president to create more chaos on his way out the door. and we've had four years of chaos, the public didn't like it, and they voted him out of office. it's hard for him to take. this is just a little tantrum by the president, but, at the same time, judy, he is putting our national security interests in very big limbo here because we don't know what's going on in the pe
