attorney general josh purcell shapiro.nk you very much. >>> let's turn to wisconsin where the u.s. supreme court just denied an attempt to extend their deadline for counting mail-in ballots wechlt have josh paul, the wisconsin attorney general and rick pilldes a law professor found his own words being used as part of a dissenting position by judge kavanaugh. but he says they were taken out of context. distinction with a difference. this is about our supreme court going through our state law and reckoning of our constitution. we're good. if you want wisconsin to be about federal law, then the judge can come to a different decision so the supreme court did what it did. do you believe wisconsin was treated fairly by the supreme court? >> well t rule is now clear that voters in wisconsin need to get their absentee balance t los in election day. a lot of absentee ballots have gone out. a lot have been sent back in. for voters who have an absentee ballot, i encourage you to return it to a dropbox now or take it to a clerk's offi

is a lot of legal stuff back and forth, but actually the issue is pretty simple and you cited the purcell principle and it's also why pennsylvania's situation is different than minnesota that you spoke about just a moment ago. this is a state election law that has been interpreted by our state's highest court, our pennsylvania supreme court, that says if ballots are postmarked before the end of election day and received up until friday at 5:00 they could be counted. and the purcell principle, which you cited, makes clear that federal courts ought to give great deference to state law when it comes to these matters of election. now, steps have been taken here in pennsylvania to ensure that these ballots can be sort of segregated or set aside and then counted to make sure that it doesn't confuse broader processes. we recognize that donald trump and his enablers may want to use this to their advantage, but my job is to make sure that all ballots are defended in pennsylvania and these votes are recorded. just check our track record. we're 6-0 in every single time donald trump has gone to court

i hate to nerd out on you and keep coming back to the purcell principle, but one of the very reasonshy the federal courts are not supposed to meddle in state election laws, it could confuse the voters, and number two, it makes it harder on the election officials who are really just counting employees and volunteers in the counties to run the election. so you speak to the very reason why the federal courts at this late stage shouldn't step in and meddle with our state election laws. let us have an election. the reason we're in these situations is because the president has been unbelievably litigious. he's tried to undermine our voting process in pennsylvania. he's sued us. there have been five cases. he went 0-5. we're 5-0 to frequent rights of all voters in pennsylvania. to secure their right to make sure their vote is counted. unfortunately, we're having to beat back attempts to undermine the vote. we're winning and we're in the midst of an election. it is time to just let people vote. >> you're welcome back on the show to, a to you merits. thank you very much. >>> let's turn to wis

and so hopefully, the purcell principle will be adhered to. the rules have been set. fourth quarter right now, wolf, nearly 2 million pennsylvanians have already voted, to put that into some context, that's about a third of the entire electorate from 2016. there's an incredible amount of enthusiasm and intensity around voting. let's just let people vote. we need to stop with the litigation. and i say that to donald trump and his enablers. stop the litigation. and just let people vote. it's time. >> it is so, so critically important. attorney general josh shapiro, thanks so much for joining us. thanks for all your important work. >> appreciate it. >> breaking news, the coronavirus crisis escalates as the u.s. sees the highest average number of daily cases yet in the pandemic. we'll be right back. i was alwayf to my sisters. they were always thin and i wasn't... i ate a lot of food. and then after i had my son it was really difficult to lose the baby weight, and everything took so much time and energy and i didn't have that. and then i tried noom, it was easy and it was

based on the purcell principle. particularly, as we get close to having an election.ge barrett becomes justice barrett, she could be a deciding vote in that matter. late tonight, republicans of pennsylvania, seemingly on behalf of donald trump, asked the united states supreme court, pardon me, to consider this issue again. and we will see, ultimately, what the united states supreme court decides to do. i would hope they would honor the purcell principle and allow our state supreme court to just do what they do best, which is to interpret matters of state law. and just let us have an election. let's move forward and have these votes be counted. >> mr. attorney general, i will let you get back toure kids n y and your wife. joe biden's got an all-star group of campaign surrogates hitting must-win states. president obama hitting tomorrow. lizzo today. and there is a whole lot more. i'm going to speak with the co-chair of biden's campaign. that's cedric richmond. he's next. >> they out there trying to make america great again. but we need to, finally, bring america togethe

. >> are you going to talk about the purcell doctrine? i hope you do. >> i am. my mind, but it's important, because the purcell principle says is that federal courts should leave to the states matters of state election law, and this is a matter of state election law that's ben settled by our state's highest court. >> right, yes. i want to talk to you about the issue of anxiety around this election overall. my colleagues savannah guthrie on the "today" show sat down with former secretaries of the department of homeland security to talk about this issue. i want to play a little bit of that for you and ask but it as it relates to your state. watch. >> i'm not that concerned about the integrity of the actual vote. >> we had a national presidential election in 1864 when the nation was literally at war with itself. we know how to do this. >> i am not concerned about the security of the election. i am concerned about the anxiety surrounding the election. >> i'm not concerned about widespread fraud. i think that's a myth. >> tom ridge, of course, the former governor of

. >> it flies in the face of something known as the purcell doctrine that says federal courts shouldise extreme caution before interfering with state election law, and that extreme caution gets even more extreme the closer you get to an election. we're not only 14 days away from election day, we're already voting here in pennsylvania, more than 1 million pennsylvanians have already voted. so the idea that the supreme court of the united states would step on -- step in on what is clearly a state constitutional law question, interpreting state law, is a bit troublesome. nevertheless, they didn't muster the votes necessary to stop or block pennsylvania election law. and so what i think that pennsylvania -- >> that's true, attorney general, but i -- i do feel duty bound to point out that was a byproduct of a certain math that may change, right? i mean, they -- they needed -- they needed five votes to take it up. they didn't have them. they had four. four voted against. it's an eight-person court and donald trump and republicans have been extremely explicit they want amy coney barrett con

to and the senate will have 2 choices if they use filings like they did in the past on change and purcell festivus unwavering in his mission to bring about reform and change he says he was attacked last year for being outspoken beaten so badly he spent 2 weeks in hospital but he's not stopping. and i'm proud to be reluctant to tell the world that i am a tie we have been taught to obey and not question authority i fear that we were blinded in the past when i am the thousands across the country are working to put that past behind the scenes like this are grabbing attention across thailand and across the world expressing the desire for monarchy reform something unthinkable even just earlier this year but there is an opposing view and it's not just limited to government house or the palace. wearing yellow showing their allegiance to the monarchy those who support the king have also held rallies over the last few months they've been much smaller but some supporters say that could change water wrong educate was a member of parliament with the largest conservative party but lost his seat in last

corner and then they have to come out very aggressively and i think we should bear in mind in russia purcell where we're standing at the moment the army came in 10 years ago to put down red shirt protesters using live fire and 93 people killed on that i think a lot of people watching this unfold 'd they are certainly sympathetic i think of the students calls they would like to see a more democratic government in power and they're certainly very concerned about the economic conditions in thailand with the covert crisis but i think they're also very aware that this is essentially a military government and that it's not going to be pushed out of parries of that and just quickly to any one of the demands from the protesters was also a reform of the more a key that's a very tapping subjects' cylons given this demand that they have broadly carry public opinion do you think. but it's very interesting i think we're certainly seeing a lot of to boost brokers now it was 1st raised by the protesters a couple of months ago very tenuously as well some of the student leaders i think were concerned that by

its studies this comes off to the death of a young volunteer participating in this very trial in purcell this week it remains unclear though whether the volunteer received the actual facts seen or just a placebo senior correspondent rod gaza have looked deep into what's been called the walt white race for a vaccine. there is always the risk with any vaccine any clinical trial that statistical improbability that would point to nor one percent risk that someone dies at someone reportedly was a brazilian doctor he was part of an oxford university vaccine trial group and is believed to have suffered fatal complications but they're sure it's safe to keep going following careful assessment of this case in brazil there have been no concerns about safety of the clinical trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue there is a race on a race for v. vaccine that works that saves millions of lives and brings in billions of dollars and visits in clinical trial all things go wrong they have astra zeneca who is vaccine it is has

it's cleared up in something called the purcel principal, which says that matters of the state law shouldd in state court. and that is closer as we get to the election. we are late in the fourth quarter. three million people have returns their election ballot. you cannot change the rules at this late stage in the game. >> your governor was called on to allow investigations to begin. and said philadelphia is out of control. >> the only thing i can call it is fake news. he seems to be referring to a case that one of the candidates that he attacks -- he is trying to make a lot of noise, and tse a lot of chaosand doubt in the election process. what i have noticed, is that the president is shrinking in a lot of ways. that the noise he is using is drowning out. whether people are voting by mail or they are casting the ballot early on planning to vote on election day. the voters are tired of the noise and chaos, they have made up their minds and they are ready to vote. and yi don't think they are paying a lot of attention to the tweets anymore. >> the trump campaign has been accused of intimidat

. >> the purcell principle comes out of lower federal courts. slack, but because it's a 4-4 case, that's my second point, there's a ninth justice that may be arriving on the supreme court soon and we don't know how that would go. but it leaves a big question mark, what does this case signal in terms of how a nine-member court would decide it. >> great place to end, which is that the president of the united states has been extremely explicit about this. he wants amy coney barrett on the court precisely to rule on the election outcome, which he says he expects to go to the court and ted cruz and lindsey graham agree. and implicit is they don't trust roberts. they think he's a squish. and so this does seem to kind of -- >> it's amazing. >> right, exactly. the guy that wrote shelby county gunning the voting rights act. >> he's wanted to go after voting rights when he was a student and part of the federalist society. yes, now trump has to get the last person on the court because he's teeing it up for bush v. gore type of challenge to make sure he's c

we are working very closely with the hemisphere's largest democracy, purcell. ands just there this week we signed deals that will be great for brazil and the united states and our manufacturing base. the president also confirmed major ally status of the so. millions in loans throughout the western hemisphere under an initiative we call growth the american. we are strengthening our neighbors and increasing prosperity here at home and our neighborhood. the pressure campaign has brought iran's economy to its knees and cut off over $150 billion in section really the iranians were using not to help their own people but to spread this court and war across the .iddle east front, heden sharing encouraged our nato allies to spend 400 billion dollars in additional defense spending 32024. 2024.ough that makes the world safer and that pledge of increased spending was also accompanied by burden sharing and other places. troopsre 6100 coalition most of them in nato. so for the first time we have more of our partners bearing the burden of the work afghanistan and say things h

. >> reporter: in 2006 the supreme court weighed in with something called the purcell doctrine, thaton rules should not be changed close to an election. it does not define how close is too close. >> the voters need certainty. >> reporter: republican tim moore, speaker of the house in north carolina, filed the lawsuit, saying the rule reduces lost and rules cannot be changed late in the season. >> whatever the rules are, those are the rules. you can't change the rule s midway in the game. >> reporter: hakeem's ballot was invalid. >> my ballot was reject sod i'm here to vote again in person this time. >> reporter: so yesterday, he headed to his local early voting center to cast a new one. and did so successfully. >> do you feel like this election is more important than other elections in your life? >> yes. this one is more important than any one i done seen yet. >> by any measure, hakeem was an atentative voter, he was tracking the process throughout and knows his votie its in and will be counted. that raises questions of access and they show the percentage of black absentee ballots th

and there is also this election law principle we talked about on the show called the purcell principle. don't come riding in late into an election and change the rules at the last minute. yet it appears these two federal judges in minnesota have done precisely that. it is very hard to look at this and not view this as a real problem and worrisome for what it could mean post-election day. >> i think it is worrisome post-election because what's going on here, first of all, the framing is that democrats and more liberal justices on the supreme court are focused on enabling every american who can lawfully vote to do so. >> right. >> and so their view is we ought to make it easier to vote. that's the american way. the conservatives essentially on the supreme court have been saying, no, this is up to the states. and if a state wants to make it harder, we're going to let them. and if a state wants to make it easier, we're going to let them. that is certainly the chief justice's view. he's been the deciding vote on some of these cases and he has been essentially saying on pro state's rights, i
