elected officials and watchdog groups alike share the same complaint, america's voting process is broken. tuesdays are inconvenient and the number one difficulty people cite for not voting. this dates back to the agricultural driven economy of the 1800 for religious reasons and monday was a day of horse and buggy travel. it to encourage some new thinking if not a complete overhaul of old standards. early voting allows more flexibility for those with in flexible work schedules. it also eliminates the need to stay in line for hours. sometimes even during inclement weather. there is a risk of early voting cut short of the vetting process. development may impact our choices up to the last minute. do we have a firm grasp on clinton and trump's views on the on their personal failings? any vote early or on election day is a considered risk for the majority of americans. record early voting is a strong indicator of acceptance for change. let's hope the discussion occurs before the first candidate announces 42020. hillary clinton: i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. vo: in times of cr

the campaign. >> correct. it is a nonpartisan watchdog group that monokeeps a very close eye on filings, etcetera.gued they believed steve ban nonw bannon was being paid by a family. they thought bannon was being paid through a super pack and other outside organizations. if it is correct would raise serious questions. in other words, that means that this billionaire family may very well have been directing substantial sums of money to a company that's basically controlled by steve bannon through a super pack while he was the chairman of donald trump's campaign. we don't know if anything illegal happened. we don't know if there was a fire wall up. we don't know the nature of the set-ups here. this has independent watchdogs deeply concerned. >> and the law is simply if you're working for the campaign you have to be paid by the campaign. you cannot be paid by the super pack and you can't coordinate or communicate in any way. charlie, i want to consider paul ryan's situation here. you know his district there. >> yes. >> bannon has been public enmy number one. let's to paul ryan being asked today about

the election fraud task force. according to a nonpartisan watchdog group, so far, there have been no reports of any major problems. >> reporter: i'm jan crawford in raleigh, north carolina. to win here, clinton needs a big showing from african american voters, but early voting, compared to 2012, is down 9%. today, we saw voters standing in line making calls to try to drum up support like this: >> you already voted? why you ain't voting, man? >> reporter: now on the flip side, trump needs rural whites to come out big and early voting suggests they did. >> reporter: i'm chip reid in janesville, wisconsin, home town of paul ryan, the republican speaker of the house. ryan is expected to win re-election to congress tonight, but when he returns to washington, the road is expected to get much rougher. if hillary clinton is the next president, she and ryan could be the next four years. and if it's donald trump, well, ryan refused to actively campaign for him, prompting some conservative house republicans to call on ryan to step down as speaker. >> reporter: i'm ben trace nephoenix, arizona, where the students are protesti

elected officials and watchdog groups alike share the same complaint. america's voting process is broken. tuesdays are inconvenient and the number one difficulty and reason americans cite for not voting. tuesday elections have their origins during the agriculture-driven economy of the 1800's. weekends were eliminated for was a day of horse-and-buggy travel to the polls. it is beyond time to encourage some new thinking if not a complete overhaul of old standards. early voting allows more flexibility for those with inflexible work schedules, it also eliminates the need to stay in line for hours, sometimes during inclement weather, factors which also lower turnout. there is a risk early voting cuts short the vetting process and late developments in a do we really have a firm grasp on clinton and trump's views on the important issues or are we inundated to the very end on their personal failings? considering the record negatives dogging both candidates, any vote, early or on election day, is a considered risk for the majority of americans. record early voti

as for voter turnout, i can tell you, the nonpartisan watchdog group commit of 70 was saying turnout seemed to be higher than the last presidential election. but nothing official yet. a lot of folks that we spoke to, communities, felt good. they said that just based on the lines that they had seen, the amount of people that were out early this morning, that they felt hillary clinton definitely had this state on lock, and we know that the last time a republican actually took this state was in 1988. so you're talking about a state that is primarily democratic, but, of course, it is up in the air. it is now of not over yet. so it remains to be seen just how all of those factors play into what actually happens tonight. we also want to note that the absentee ballots, that was actually down about 20%. so there will be a lot of questions asked, a lot of analyzing. but at the end of the day, it's not over just yet. >> pelley: jericka, thank you very much. we are making an adjustment in our estimate in florida. we are moving florida now to lean edge-- edge, i beg your pardon, not quite a lean,
