day on both sides, so here's a look at the crowds that are lining the route to his next event in lancaster, pennsylvania. trump and harris are both going to be in pennsylvania today with trump attending the steelers jets game later on. senator jd vance is in wisconsin today well tim walz will end his day in michigan. and here is part of a report on the race in michigan from nbc's steve kornacki. >> look at that. michigan, the average there. harris by 1/10 of one point. it really doesn't get closer than that. let's dive into michigan and what we are going to be looking at in the home stretch and in michigan game night. go back to the last election year. you just heard from barack obama there. barack obama and the democrats won michigan handily. trump, of course, flipped it barely in 2016, and then it moved a little bit back to the democrats in 2020. the key is, between 2012 and 2020, the trump era, the state as a whole got a lot less democratic. >> we got reporters and analysts in place covering these developments for us. we begin in georgia where harris has been encouraging black congregan

i got to mention a huge crowd here in lancaster. an indication there's a lot of exciting for trump and then battleground state it's the photo op for mcdonald's earlier today you will see everywhere in the next 24 hours. >> yes you will. by the will take my fries without politics please, just the salt. that's all i need just saying though, it was fun though. >> everyone is going to have an opinion. you're right about that absolutely. arthel: it is what it is been a big crowd behind you by that is good there in lancaster, pennsylvania. and by the way former president speaking to reporters right now at the pennsylvania town hall. let's listen in. books look forward to the result they also look for it, i've got 52 days in a row without a day off as you probably know better than anybody. yes please. >> how often do you talk to elon musk? [inaudible] what you think about his plan? >> i speak to elon a lot. it's a friend of mine he gave a full endorsement. every time he goes out he gives me an endorsement. ] he feels very strongly about ou

the ones who are really figuring the escalation of the situation. professor simon may bond from lancaster university many thanks for your insights. thank you. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the us and british forces have strep more than a dozen ac targets in yemen. the pentagon says aircraft and worship is bond weapon systems, bases and other targets. with the media confirmed strikes at the airport in who data and in the capital, sauna, former us president donald trump has said that israel should hit is, are there runs through nuclear facilities in response to tear runs were sent, missed all attacks. trump said it was wrong for president joe biden to zoom out against such attacks bite and had called on israel to respond in a proportionate way to the iranian attacks. to clarify some of the comments engine easier, hundreds of people have protested against president chi site and what they see as his authoritarian rule, the incumbent is considered the biggest favorite and sundays elections where he is running for a 2nd term. his critics, a q site of

i asked simon may bon, who is a lecture in international relations at lancaster university where things stand and whether he would already consider this conflict. a true war? yeah, i mean, so may say this is the semantic distinction. but i think when you look at the number of people that are being killed, the number of people that have been displaced, the damage done set to infrastructure, to the very way of life across the region. it's, it's easy to see how this could be considered conflict. this could be considered to be a war. and you look at the footage from, from south lebanon. you look at the bodies from gaza. it's pretty obvious this meets many of those characteristics. but i guess what the big war is and why people have no as yet spoken about this as a middle east, them, or if you will, is to worry that it will escalate so that it will draw in neighboring states and it will lead to a very clear and very deliberate articulation of hostilities between the radians b as riley's and others across the region. so i guess this is, this is more of cost. this is war, but it's not well wit

cnn's danny freeman, is there a live from lancaster?danny, the keystone state has been a keen focus of the former president and the last days of the race, what is he saying to voters there today? >> yeah, keystone state's certainly getting a lot of attention from both campaigns, but certainly from the trump campaign this weekend, especially right now, where former president trump is actually in bucks county, pennsylvania, crucial purple area of the commonwealth at a mcdonald's. he's there right now and we have a little bit of footage to show you. of the former president actually going up to a fryer and frying up some fries. take a look tiber, take it out of the world slowly, give it a little shake that we don't get stuck together. >> that lower back in raleigh. this one friday of the oil wild in right here broadly so you. can. see right there perhaps a bit of unconventional retail politics going on in pennsylvania right now former president donald trump wearing an apron working that fry machine. now, as i understand it, you see images o

of lancaster issue. we've talked about 2,500 of these mail ballot applications and they were going through them and they noticed some issues and believe that there issues that were some of them are potentially fraudulent. these are under investigation. they've been segregated. this is how the process is supposed to work. you're going through, you're checking these applications, you're looking for issues. if you see issues, you investigate york county, isn't commenting on whether they think there are fraudulent ballot applications, but what they are saying is they got this trove of election-related materials thousands of election-related the documents from this big third-party organization. and so they are going through this trove of documents trying to figure out if there could be an issue where any of this is potentially fraudulent. again, this is how the process so it's supposed to work. >> okay. let's go closer to philadelphia. the collar counties you've got delaware county and bucks county. there's s

former president donald trump is participating in a townhall in lancaster, pennsylvania.he visited a mcdonald's to work the fry machine. this is after trump made unfounded claims that the vice president didn't really work there as a student. and, of course, last night, you trump's bizarre rally in latrobe, pennsylvania, where he spoke for over 10 minutes about the late golfer, arnold palmer, and his anatomy. michael, is this the behavior of a serious candidate with just 2.5 weeks until an election? >> no, it's not. in fact, the vice president has made it very clear that she's running against an unserious opponent. donald trump is about the show, the entertainment. this has been a reality tv campaign, a reality tv presidency for 4 years, and we are all bit players and it. what is sad for me, reverend, is that watching that event last night in which donald trump spends text minutes talking about arnold palmer's private parts, the people behind him cheered and laughed. they were entertained. donald trump shows up at mcdonald's to sort of in your face kamala harris work histo

there are questions about potential fraud in lancaster county, local officials are investigating there. doj pleaded with the high court yesterday to allow in virginia, 1600 people to remain on the voter roll. republican governor glenn youngkin took them off after citing citizenship concern. he said if you say you are not a citizen or don't check a box on dmv application, you don't need to vote. the there are pre and post-legal fights. pace of results. if you catastrophic a ballot early, it can be counted early, not in six states, including pennsylvania. ballot envelopes cannot be open until day of. state officials say there is nothing nefarious about it. early voting in done in pennsylvania, people cannot open envelopes until election day. >> brian: in florida, they do it right away, ready by 10:00. david, can you change their mind? >> exactly. >> steve: exactly. lawrence jones is right there and he's having breakfast with friends and he's got a lot of friends there in lancaster county, pennsylvania, a swing state. people have opinions, don't they? lawrence it is like brieg brian kilme

county, pennsylvania with us now is ray d'agostino, lancaster county commissioner and chairman of the board of elections, sir. thank you so much for being with us. just bring us up to speed on where things stand. these were voter registration applications what was the issue and where to things stand with the investigation? >> yes. thank you. so last week on well, actually two weeks ago friday and then monday, last week. they've got to large batches of voter registration applications from to different people approximately 2,500 our staff and board of elections started to notice immediately. so irregularities on those applications, for instance, some of those applications were in this same handwriting and some of the signatures were seemed to be in the same handwriting, almost duplicative so at that point, they contacted the district attorney's office and also the members of the board of elections, including myself and that's what the investigation began as we started to dig in further it seemed that there were more irregularities and that's when the district attorney a press conference

and york counties lancaster.ry, lancaster will work on it and whether there were the is these fraudulent voter applications again, this is not the same thing as a fraudulent ballot. this is an application and lancaster they said that there are hundreds of applications that were fraudulent. there were hundreds more where the information and it couldn't be verified. again, this is under investigation. these are not people who cast votes illegally and in york county, there were 700 questionable voter registration applications that have been referred to the district attorney's office for investigation. so again, these are issues we don't know what the source of these issues are, but they've been uncovered. there under investigation. this is how the process is supposed to work. if there are irregularities and these kinds of applications, and we should just note for those who are only now paying attention to elections. this happens every time every single time for every single race city council, mayor, there's always q

district urban says that pop up, pop up if they do, jake tell us about these election workers in lancaster, pennsylvania who identified 2,500 voter registration forms that might be fraudulent. >> yeah. i mean, they said today that there were essentially a couple of batches of voter registration forms that as they were looking through them, they could see that there were problems there were signatures, didn't match up. there was personal identifying information that was incorrect, i think in some cases, people were notified and said they didn't actually fill out these registration forms. so this is now something that is under investigation. and it appears from what we heard from officials today that these were not people who were specifically registered to one party or the other. this is also frankly a good example of why it's hard to commit voter fraud they do check these days, right? yeah. just dropped off piles of applications, voter registration forms, and they just go into the bucket. nobody looks at them. they actually do look at this information. >> all right. sara murray, paula reid

>> trump pointed to an incident in lancaster county where officials are investigating some 2,500 voter registration forms that they suspect could be fraudulent. can you take us through what you think happened there and do you expect that this might be an issue in other counties so we were in contact with lancaster county as we are all of our counties, right from the beginning anytime there's any allegation of anything like this to provide guidance and all the rest lancaster did what any other county would do, which is to invest it's the gate and make sure that potentially fraudulent voter registration applications or not processed and boris, they really want to draw a difference between a voter registration application and a ballot of voter registration application. >> voters are including their driver's license number. there, including there so security number, their name, their address, and all the rest. and when you show up to vote, your providing id for the first time when you vote in pennsylvania. so there's all sorts of safeguards built into the system. we look forward to hearing

looking ahead to today, he will be here in lancaster in just a few hours for a town hall. he does typically tend to take questions, but we haven't yet figured out who will be moderating this event. later tonight, is off to the steelers jets game in pittsburgh as he and harris compete for these critical battleground state voters in this final push to november 5th. >> gillian, i want to thank you for all of it, including that sound bite, you want to play off that now, despite listening to it was just weird. i joined now by molly ball, senior correspondent for the wall street journal and meryl kornfield, staff writer for the washington post. molly, you first on this. you heard it. you have any sense as to whether or not this is some bizarrely effective strategy for him, or what? >> you know, i have been covering donald trump's political campaigns for nearly a decade now, and he tends to say whatever sort of floats into his brain. i will say that when you ask his supporters about the various odd things that he comes up with, or the strange rifts that -- the vulgarities and so

. >> let's head to lancaster, pennsylvania which a big trump town hall there later today and what ishe campaign focus for trump with 16 days left? >> a major goal for the campaign in this final stretch is choosing his base in getting republicans to turn out and vote for trump on election day especially republicans from battleground states like here in pennsylvania where he has been all weekend and we saw him moments ago at a mcdonald's which is something he has been talking about on the trail for weeks saying he will visit one and accusing vice president harris of not actually having worked at one. another big strategy to jews the base is to push in american first agenda pushing this higher tariffs policy increasing domestic production. we do know of course that brings the risk of counterterrorism but i want you to hear about how we talked about that policy proposal and emphasizing on the trail lately. take a listen. >> the word terrace is the most beautiful world -- word in the dictionary and more beautiful than love. and more beautiful than respect and less beautiful than religion.

280,000 just speaking of registrations there is a criminal investigation they can place here in lancasterlications that were dropped off by a canvassing group here in lancaster county district attorney said that they did not appear to benefit either party be to alexandria hoff on that for us, thank you. keeping joe on hold my medical doctor on access reporter on your details about harris' efforts to keep biden at bay at the trail but will it work? and as each candidate pounds the battleground, which ones could hold the key to♪ victory? down at the touchscreen coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ i'll be there... ♪ ♪ you don't... ♪ ♪ you don't have to worry... ♪ you didn't start a business just to keep the lights on. lucky for you, shopify built the just one-tapping, ridiculously fast-acting, sky-high sales stacking champion of checkouts. businesses that want to win, win with shopify. i'm a lifelong republican and i voted for trump twice, but i can't do it again. trump wants a national sales tax on imported goods. it'll make everything more expensive for regular people, all while giving tax breaks to billiona

. >> because they've already started cheating in lancaster, they cheated.ht them with 2,600 votes. now we caught them cold, 2,600 votes. think of this, think of this. and every vote was written by the same person. i wonder how that happened. must be a coincidence. it must be a coincidence. . >> here's the real problem with this. there's a grain of i don't want to say truth but there's something that he is talking about. the former president seems to be referring to pennsylvania officials who said they're investigating as many as 2,500 fraudulent voter registration applications in lancaster county that election workers flagged during routine reviews of the forms. keyword, forms, not ballots. joining us now brandy, what you can do is push your own false narrative about it. have officials told us anything more about this investigation? >> nope, they are looking into it, and a similar thing was happening in york county. we are also looking into some ballots, and that's where they stopped. as you know, disinformation loves a vacuum, and in to swoop and fill the

here in lancaster. >> read all right. danny freeman. >> thank you so much or if vice president harris is using one of these last pivotal weekends before the election to court voters in georgia, a state that helped to boost president biden into the white house in 2020, cnn's eva mckend is live for us in stone crest job for joe. were harris attended a church service today and spoke so what was said well, friend, the vice president, telling congregants said this is about faith in action, that they have the opportunity to decide what kind of country they want to live in. >> are they going to choose the politics? it's of chaos and division of the former president, though she never explicitly used his name or elevate her candidacy, which he characterizes characterizes is about freedom, hope, and opportunity, compassion. and this comes in the context of these souls to the polls, events, events aim to motivate black okay voters. know, democrats are often accused of taking black voters for granted, but the campaign will tell you t

go to my colleague alex hough in lancaster. alex? >> yeah. thank you, mark.l college votes up for grabs in the state. that's the most of any battleground. tonight, former president obama is rallying for harris in philadelphia along with john legend and bruce springsteen. the vice president was trying to replicate the success president biden had in cities and suburbs. biden won in 2020 by 1.2%. the count was slow. by law, ballots can't begin to be processed until 7:00 a.m. electric day. a margin under half a percent triggers automatic recount. tomorrow former president trump is making stops in delaware and lehigh counties whose faux focus remains on the economy and energy. trump ally elon musk this weekend held a town hall here in lancaster giving away $1 million atwoordz a petition signer. philadelphia district attorney today larry krasner, he said that he has sued musk's pac over this saying it amounts to illegal lottery. also here in lancaster county, officials continue to investigate 2500 potentially fraudulent voter registration forms that were dropped of

they were submitted in lancaster county. state's top election official says the investigation shows the system of checks and balances is working. >> we understand from the county that there was an outside organization collecting registrations and submitted them right before the voter registration deadline. pennsylvania is one of those states where you have to apply to vote by mail. ballots just don't get sent out to everyone. when you apply, you provide your driver's license number or your last four of your social security number. so there was a verification identity confirmation aspect. when you have cases like this, it should encourage people to have more faith in the system. not less. >> and joining me now, we have two pennsylvania political insiders. we have former democratic congressman connor lamb. he served in areas near pittsburgh. and former republican congressman charlie dent. he served near allentown. just over a week ago, dent endorsed kamala harris indicating he had voted by mail. so i welcome you both. before i

in lancaster, pennsylvania.ws. >> willie nelson calling on other cannabis lovers across the country to support kamala harris in the race for the white house. the country music legend says harris understands the importance of reforming the nation's cannabis laws and reducing the criminal penalties for possession. nelson is hosting a national zoom call this week in his effort to get that message across to voters and raise money for the harris campaign. an important deadline tomorrow for california voters. monday is the last day california residents can register by mail or online to vote in the upcoming presidential election. however, those who missed tomorrow's deadline can still register in person at county election offices across the state. there's also same day voter registration available here in california, where voters can do conditional voter registration on election day. >> an investigation is underway in georgia after several people there were killed in a ferry dock collapse. the death toll from that disa

. >> cnn's danny freeman is there in lancaster where the trump townhall begins next hour at danny only, a few precious days left in the race. so what will be the focus today trump to continue the vote because that he and his campaign wants to emphasize in these final weeks of the campaign's goal, vice president harris, a failure when it comes to her and the biden administration, but also trying to hit home on he was like inflation the economy, but what we saw today in this says you said final sprint really so election day is also a blanketing of pennsylvania. >> earlier a former president trump stopped in purple bucks county. that's all important. philadelphia suburbs to go to a mcdonald's and cook some fries, who we saw him dying an apron put friday this in friar, the reason that from president trump is making this stop not only to try and appeal to working class voters, which will be key to homebirths in trump's coalition if he hopes to win the commonwealth of pennsylvania, but also to needle the harris campaign because he has been saying without proof that harris never actually work

our danny freeman is on the campaign trail with the trump campaign in lancaster, pennsylvania. and eva mckend is covering the harris campaign in metro atlanta let's start first with danny trump's spend some time working at a mcdonald's today. he has a town hall tonight where you are after last night's rally in latrobe, pennsylvania he meandered off script >> to say, listen, just gains been a very busy weekend for the trump campaign, specifically in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. both campaigns clearly knows that all roads lead to pennsylvania if they want to get to the white house. but the trump campaign really putting the hours in today, this rally is about to kick off in just a few moments. but you're right. what happened earlier today is the former president was in bucks county on all important philadelphia suburbs, working at a mcdonald's, we have video of it. he was looking the friar making french fries. and really this has come up as a campaign issue because vice president kamala harris has said that in her past, she once worked at mcdonald's the person who trump witho

so 20 percent of g d p. joining us not from lancaster in the u. k. is our winter. there's a professor of economics that the hebrew university professor of the economy of lancaster university good to have you with us, professor. this bible, we've a saying that when you do a deep dive on the data, as well as economy appears to be pretty stable at the moment in inflation we're rising is under control. personal debt is relatively low. and the how much strain is the economy really? and kind of sustain that strain, could it take it so much longer? well, the economies on strain, the war is still is not something simple to go through economically. and israel is facing the cost of the war very prominently. um, recently uh there were decision on where they were planning to raise taxes and uh remove the tax relief that has been uh, embedded in the budget for many years to cover these extra cost. and of course the extended the war with chris belie increase the cost there is um, now um a major draft taken place and these red that will also reduce um the, the lady blower market

, pennsylvania, saying they already started cheating heating in lancaster. now let me explain exactly what's happening there because the details here are very important on friday, authorities in that county's flagged about 2,500 voter registration forms for potential fraud. detectives. they're found that some of the applications had inaccurate addresses. they had miss identifying info, they had duplicated handwriting and signatures that did not match these applications. again, not ballots. these are voter registration applications. they were flagged and they went through the district attorney's vetting process where they did indeed find have some concerns turns about about some of those ballots. now, the people involved in this process of checking this, the authorities, they said that this was all caught during their normal review process that every county in pennsylvania goes through. and they said it is a sign that quote our systems work donald trump saying it's a sign that there's going to be fraud, obviously trying to sow doubt about the outcome in a ver

there are no fraudulent 2,600 votes what's actually happening according to the lancaster county district attorney, is that detectives are investigating 2,500 voter registration forms for a variety of problems such as duplicate handwriting of mismatch signatures but those aren't votes and this is the same old playbook as before. why not just white? well, we know why he does this, but in the last week of the campaign, it's just sowing fear. >> well, first of all, it's my sincerest hope and belief that we are going to have a free fair election in this country. largely because of the diffuse nature of it and all the volunteers and county clerks and secretaries of state who pull it off. so that's my number one. number two, the store he is referencing is a real story. i mean, i'm looking at the headlines right here. pennsylvania election offices on high alert following potential voter registration fraud investigation in lancaster county. so it is a real story is we play what trump said. i fact checked it. he said there are 2020, 600 votes. they're not votes. >> he's wrong about that. its regis

>> well, jim, there confirming that there are investigations underway in lancaster and york countiesnnsylvania. the state secretary of state, al schmidt, who's been really out there. he's a republican, he's been very forward-leaning in educating the public about what's going on with voting in his state is acknowledged these investigations. his office is supporting both counties and allow this week officials in lancaster county said they were investigating, quote, incidents of suspected voter registration fraud, and they said they believed that this stem from a quote, large canvassing operation where they submitted registrations that hasn't duplicate handwriting and unverifiable addresses. so they are looking into that in your county officials walz will not confirm to cnn that they have the same issues that we're seeing in lancaster county, but they did acknowledge a large delivery containing thousands of election-related materials. so we will continue to follow these investigations and bring our viewers the facts. but clearly the former president getting out ahead of the investigatio

. >> lancaster county, this is another partisan thing, not filed by republican or democrat.s is the county that says we believe that there's a problem with about 2500 new voter registrations done during the canvass in the summer. some of this stuff does not pass the smell test. >> that's right. lancaster county said athey believe 60% of the voter registrations and mail-in ballot requests are fraudulent them. fraudulent, fraudulent operations. they said we will leave it to those counties to tell you who they are. the federalist broke who some of those counties were. they had officials telling them, yes, in fact they've received suspicious requests, separated them, investigating those. it's interesting, given the fact these are from the local officials, the district attorney levels. >> we will be watching that closely. great to see you. >> thank you. >> john, we're going to take a quick spin on the touchscreen with brian talking the economy in vegas next. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with

now in lancaster county, they have confirmed that they are investigating incidents of suspected voter fraud registration fraud, now this is according to law enforcement officials and a bipartisan election board, they say that this was part of a large-scale canvassing effort where they received some registrations that it's similar handwriting unverifiable addresses, their investigating, but they haven't reported any fraud. now, you're county also doing an investigation that they won't confirm if it's the same issues are seeing in lancaster, but he received trump and his allies getting out ahead of the investigation the state's governor suggested this is all part of an effort to sow seeds of doubt in the court of public opinion about the the outcome in pennsylvania. but the biggest thing that i'm looking for right now is it possible decision from the supreme court out of pennsylvania related surprise me if ultimately some of these questions go to the supreme court. will that decide the election? it's unclear, but i think you can definitely expect continued litigation yeah, it's a possib

jon: mark meredith and lancaster, pennsylvania thank you. president trump as they are speaking to town hall meeting let's listen in. what'ss great to put its communication north ghana, georgia had some areas it's a communication system. but especially north carolina the job was totally demolished. they had no communications appeared people were dying, the federal government failed worse than katrina for they did nothing. her and biden did nothing they needed, they needed to get started like they said you know elon musk i said do? i was there they said is there a way we could get starlike so i called him up. he had that to them so fast it was unbelievable. you can't get it. the congressmen know this. until i just want to thank elon musk. when you look at his endorsement when he endorsed me i mean he is not going around pennsylvania day and night day and night it's like he is running. he just feels our nation, if it doesn't win this election the nation is not going to survive. not going to survive it provoked a blessing to watch a best blessin

host: lancaster, ohio. jenny. a trump-vance supporter. caller: i have a question for you. when donald trump was president, he stopped giving other countries money for abortions. is he going to up that again where he is not going to give other countries money for abortions? why do we have to give other countries money for abortions anyway? guest: you are talking about the mexico city policy. i think that any republican president, especially donald trump will continue to do similar policies like that. because, if we are going to spend money we will focus on america first. democrats have historically said they were for working-class individuals and it was not until present trump develops the america first agenda that democrats had to come behind him and try to support some of the same policies. if you look at the trade policies and maybe some of the tariffs on china. joe biden has backed whatever donald trump has put in place. and now they are talking about all of this stuff around working-class individuals and they are hurrying along to try and get in front of these working-

former president barack obama is going to be there tonight as well and alexandria hoff is live in lancastere of the best towns in america. hi, alex. >> it's a really sweet town and home to the county election board. the former president will be in philadelphia. he will go joined by bruce springsteen for a concert performance in support of vice president harris. the vice president was in the city yesterday. she visited a congregation and also small businesses before hosting a rally. saturday president trump was here appealing to young voters. bob casey and david mccormick locked in a tight senate battle with the economy and energy coming out as the top talking points. voting security is also top of mind. 1.2 million ballots have already been returned. pennsylvania's results were delayed four days due to a backlog of mail in ballots in 2020. the republican secretary of state weighed in on fox this weekend. >> elections in pennsylvania have changed so much in the last five years. there is a voter verifiable paper ballot record of every vote cast that's used in two audits after every election t

elon musk was here in lancaster county on behalf of former president trump and also presented the latest 1 million-dollar check to a petition signer on the controversial giveaway. counties also dealing with registration issue a pretty serious one that was flagged 2500 registration forms that came into the county, the 2500 may have been fraud, the republican sector weighed in on that on fox. listen. >> is unclear how many orfeo the voter registration applications were submitted that were not legitimate, they are easily caught and conspicuous and they're not processed. >> this is a criminal investigation that may impact to other counties as well, this is organize canvassing effort that dropped off the registration forms. the district attorney was asked in favored either party, she said it did not, they are looking to press criminal charges. david: very interesting, thank you very much, political commentator sarah bedford and former pennsylvania democrat congressman taking up the classes patrick murphy to discuss it all with us, thank you for being here, there were a lot of antics at madiso

guest: lancaster county.caster county is in the trump category and the count for the last two cycles. 16 or 22% favor republicans. josh shapiro and john fetterman when he won the senate met -- the senate race would go to lancaster and try to reduce the number. it was not a case of democrats just going to the big cities. even when you go out to the other 55 counties, you hear what the voters had to say and basically say that we hear you, that is why we are on the ground, and if you do please plan on voting democrat it would cut into the margins that republicans traditionally have. host: finally, let us talk about age. and the age of voters in pennsylvania, and why it matters. guest: one of the problems that the commonwealth has had is with a loss in representation because census numbers have gone down. we have the four main state universities, penn state, temple, lincoln and university of pennsylvania. we have 14 out of 16 related and then 60 or 70 private colleges and universities throughout the commonwealth.

we've heard so often, it may all come down to pennsylvania, latrobe, where my in-laws live, and lancasteret that in there. when you look at it, i think there's one state that we've got to look at, north carolina that early voting is already underway. i'll get to that deeper in a moment. let's look at the battle ground states and perhaps the most significant thing just 17 days away is that all seven of the battle ground states are in play. the famed blue wall there, that's why you're seeing so much attention on wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. and then out west, nevada and arizona, could possibly make a big difference this time, and then, there's the southern thing that we're talking about. and i'm going to go red here because you're seeing a lot of push by republicans there in that western part of the state which did go heavily for trump and the last one, let me just turn here and take you to according to quinnipiac, harris ahead in their latest poll, in the margin of error of three, what's interesting to note in 2020, trump won north carolina by 1.3%. just 47,000 votes. now, when yo
