there are certainly challenges to that to say that in pennsylvania, these election administrators were given discretion to do things that they should not have been able to do. that they treated ballots different from state to state but sometimes those are questions about whether the legislature has actually spoken or whether or not it has actually left it open for different counties to run the election a little differently which was the challenge in pennsylvania and not indicate -- and not implicated in what happened here. there were lots of moving pieces as related covid and changes were made by legislatures and some were made by election officials or pursuant to state law or by courts. in those cases, there was opportunity to challenge it in court and we saw at the end of 2020, parts of the pennsylvania ballot dispute. most of the cases were found not to have any basis in law. new york city, good morning on the democrat line. caller: u.s. constitutional provision does not say that state legislatures have jurisdiction over all aspects of elections, only with regard to three specific c

in fact, the pennsylvania magazine was filled with anti-british barbs and quips like that one. some of them more carefully disguised than others. and this makes sense. remember who paine is. he he had turned on england long ago. the marriages he'd made had caused him early ruin and regret. galvanized by what had happened at lexington and concord in april of 1775, tom paine would write "common sense" to ordinary americans that they should declare their independence from britain. as he was writing that pamphlet in the fall of 1775, tensions with britain were escalating quickly. popular notions had been aroused not only by the 1773 tea act and the 1774 -- [inaudible] act that followed it, but more recently by the battles at lexington and concord and then at bunker hill. there was a lot of anger and confusion in the air as he was writing. although to be clear, no one was talking openly yet about independence. not until tom pain's pamphlet burst on the scene. he was going to be one of the first people to make a very public argument that all grievances should be focused on achieving

right chesebro especially in pennsylvania you mentioned, pennsylvania pushback, the fake electors pushed back about pretending to be fake electors and basically the language around our agreement had to be amended because the pennsylvania electors were a little bit skeptical about being fake electors. they wanted language saying that we are only electors if there is a win and litigation. their only to >> their only two states that had. that we've seen two in those 52 states where there's been charges. >> absolutely. there is a lot of, i had the same reaction that when he saw the michigan stuff which is essentially where are the other, states what is going? on casino have two states with the blueprint. it's clear that you have to worry about pennsylvania language, have to worry about federal indictment this idea that there was part of the scheme was to duke some of the electors so want to make sure you're separating the ones were duped and who weren't. but there are going to be statements and i think this is a very carefully tailored charge as to who simply filed things that were false it

and he loses by 80 in, pennsylvania. a very similar swing in terms of numbers and percentage that you saw in ohio, but going trump's favor. lastly in pennsylvania something was in stark relief that happened all across the country and i would suggest to you. is why donald trump was the first republican presidential candidate since barry goldwater to lose morris county. the collar counties outside, philadelphia for suburban county's outside, philadelphia chester county, delaware county montgomery county outside, what's the chester delaware montgomery bucks right box in in 2016 versus 2020 donald trump lost those four counties by a hundred and four thousand more votes. to joe biden then he lost the hillary clinton. he lost both times. but he lost by 104,000 votes more. in those four suburban counties that he did in 2016. he lost the entire state by 80. so if you need to know why donald trump lost, pennsylvania. he lost pennsylvania for the same reason he lost morris county. white educated suburban voters who gave him a chan

by far the biggest prize of the night was in pennsylvania, where both the governorship and the senate which is held by a retiring republican, were seen as two of the most closely watched races when election season began democratic candidate for governor, josh shapiro, ran away with it and crushed his pro-trump election denier opponent, doug mastriano but the even bigger victory for democrats, and possibly the biggest disappointment of the night for republicans, was the senate race. >> fox news can project that lieutenant governor john fetterman will win the pennsylvania senate race over dr. mehmet oz. this is a huge win for the democrats. >> seth: wow i can't believe a candidate with no government experience, who lives in new jersey and reportedly killed over 300 dogs, lost a race for senate in pennsylvania the only way oz could have been a worse candidate in pennsylvania was if he was seen in a devils jersey fighting with gritty screaming, "7-eleven is better than wawa and sheetz!

what they were doing in pennsylvania is what they were doing in georgia.e umbrella of what they wanted to do nationally. georgia was the implementation on the ground. i think, with respect to the district attorney, i think they've done an incredible job. she is working with a lawyer named john floyd who is literally written the book, r.i.c.o. state by state. he knows exactly what he is doing, and whether you like r.i.c.o. or not, or think that it's appropriate, here, it is absolutely appropriate. it's going to bring in everybody who actually was a part of and did something in furtherance of this conspiracy. >> it's extraordinary, though, for those who grew up in a new york, watching rudy giuliani prosecute mob cases with r.i.c.o.. for him, now, to be at the epicenter of this massive r.i.c.o. case. >> how far he's fall in. >> he says he hasn't changed at all. well [laughs] >> that's a problem, right? >> he was terrible before and nobody knew because he's terrible now. that is, i think, part of the big irony here. you had an american hero, america's mayor, s

pennsylvania is wait a second when i went to bed donald trump was winning pennsylvania by 700,000 votes and then i wake up and he's losing by 800,000 votes. they stole it. we have a unusual election in 2020 because we have the most down ballot votes in and each state decided differently how they count the votes. princeton's in ohio when he went to bed and looked at ohio joe biden was winning ohio. when you woke up donald trump went ohio by nine points. in the pennsylvania theory stole ohio for biden. in ohio they counted the mail-in ballots first for the mail-in ballots were overwhelmingly in some places 70 to 75% democrat. two reasons, one democrats are fearful of voting in public so more fearful to go to a polling place and vote in person. donald trump said all summer and all fall mail-in ballots are rigged, don'tt trust them. vote on election day so republican voters listen to the leader of the party and they didn't vote by mail, they voted at the machine that day so in ohio they took down the down ballot votes first. biden was up by seven points. we are watching on abc because we di

described is that powell essentially engaged in that same firm to do something similar both in pennsylvania and in nevada. and so the question is, whether or not the facts committed at sydney powell's direction on behalf of trump in coffee county mirrored the acts that were committed in those other states. and we know that what happened with a coffee county data is that they put it on a password protected website. but then they give everybody the password. people were able to get it from all over the country. so we did see, allegedly, criminal conspiracy about multiple states. the question is whether or not that public reporting is sum total of what they've got here, or whether this goes further. >> and we also know, and this is a data point that maybe this case ties together, trump drafts an executive order to seize those voting machines, ostensibly predicated on this, stolen data from inside the machine distributed to other states. >> yeah and so -- go ahead, chris. >> i just wanted to say that one of the things i think, as you read from the indictment, it is satisfying out of basic intui
