for example in wisconsin, there 1200 townships, smallest jurisdiction. many election officials there are only paid to work five -- ten hours a week. many don't have an office and absented voting from the home. if we want to see consistency and access to elections, we need to not only provide funding to local election officials but we have to find a way to sustain it. the township let's give it a single infusion of funding will not expand access or offering to their learning community because they are not things that can sustain with that funding. they will use one-time funding to make one time purchases so i think as we are looking forward, if we want to see more consistency and be able to communicate expectations to our voters, candidates and what the election process will look like, if we want to make sure election officials are adequately trained and the broader experience is consistent throughout our jurisdiction, we have to invest sustainably to support local election officials. >> as you hear the directors talking about the different things we need

negative place and like wisconsin. have the talk about issues that go beyond immigration. i can't spend enough time looking at these plans, the winning lens. you do need those lenses to turnout targeted like they did in 2016. angelo: d think you're underestimating and power. paola: i think it in a way that her job. i do. i think there's so much more to be done and semi lessons we learned. i think you have to not being making mistakes. you've got to ask questions . think a lot of this debate comes down to the most stable questions. of the campaigns and politicians asking the latinos. like what is the agenda that you want to see. the other day i was hearing someone say has ever entered anyone ask you what changes you want to see. they said no. thing goes back to the basics. angelo: so we are preaching the end here. i do want to ask you, it's hard to . will happen in the next three weeks and what will happen in the next year or more. but the big picture, what do you hope for the future of lesson x. and latinx. my biggest thing really is for people to read this book and start

i should have said chief. >> by law, chief election official for the state of wisconsin. from my perspective, we just have to keep getting out there and talking about the mechanics of elections. i know the media in wisconsin has heard me say this a thousand times and is probably sick of me saying this, but from my perspective it is my job to know the nitty-gritty of elections and to know every detail about how they work. and it's also my job to take that detail and to turn it into approachable information for the public. and, you know, i really think that everyone has an obligation to engage with the facts about elections, but i also think that it's unreasonable for us as election administrators to expect that the public or even candidates of campaigns, for that matter, to understand all the mechanics of how elections work. i get to live, breathe, dream elections administration, but for most people, the elections process is new and mysterious to them every four years. so in the months before the election, i committed to holding media availabilities at least weekly to disc

let's look at wisconsin tonight. the supreme court in that state refused to hear, immediately hear the trump campaign's case but there's a lot more to the story. the rest of the story surrounding early voting issues. a statute that requires that it must first go through a circuit board. that's what the statute says. in what could be a preview of coming attractions, three of the justices actually praised the case. the chief court justice said, "our denials signals that the allegations are either false or not serious." nothing could be further from the truth. meanwhile, in pennsylvania, g.o.p. lawmakers has made a phenomenal case. they blocked the certification of the results there. pennsylvania's constitution allows only two methods of voting. that was circumvented illegally unconstitutionally i believe by state lawmakers without amending the state's constitution first. what see daisy. now if you look at the law and the constitution, the true meaning, yeah, that means that's out, which means they weren't allowed to do

united states supreme court to reject the certified vote counts in georgia, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. this legal maneuver was an toort by elected officials try to get the supreme court to wipe out the votes of more than 20 million americans in other states. and to hand the presidency to a candidate who lost the electoral college, lost the popular vote, and lost each and every one of the states whose votes they were trying to reverse. ,t is a position so extreme we've never seen it before. a position that refused to respect the will of the people, the rule of law, and to honor our constitution. thankfully, a unanimous supreme court immediately and completely rejected this effort. the court sent a clear signal to president trump that there would be no part of an unprecedented assault on our democracy. every single avenue was made available for president trump to contest the results. he took full advantage of each and every one of those. president trump was denied no course of action he wanted to take. he took his case to republican governors, a republican secretary of state, republican

but pennsylvania and your state of wisconsin, i look at the law. there is no mail and balloting, very limited male in balloting in wisconsin. explain what went on there. >> thanks, sean, and what lara said about the texas case is true because the state of clerks, didn't follow the law. wisconsin is a little different because it's not about whether someone called and 50,000, you know, ballots in a u-haul trailer. what wisconsin is about is whether the clerks and the people responsible for conducting the election conducted it in an illegal manner. i have been fighting the situation here in wisconsin for 20 years, but it culminated this time with three things. i'llim give you three examples. number one, the clerks decided that they were going to have in person absentee ballot voting to create a system in wisconsin which doesn't exist, which is early vote. accept, in wisconsin law, it's very clear and it's unequivocal, that absentee ballot is not a right, it's a privilege, which means you have to follow the rules. and they didn't follow the rules, didn

and i can show you right here that wisconsin, we are leading by a lot. and then, at 3:42 in the morning, there was this, it was a massive dump of votes, mostly biden, almost all biden. to this day, everyone's trying to figure out, where did it come from? but i went from leading by a lot, to losing by a little and that's right here. that's at 3:42 in the morning, that's wisconsin, a terrible thing, terrible, terrible thing. but we will have far more, many times more than the 20,000 votes needed to overturn the state. if we are right about the fraud, joe biden can't be president. we are talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. we are talking about numbers like nobody has ever seen before. just as an example, in certain states, we'll be down by, let's say, 7,000 votes, but we'll find later on 20,000, 50,000, 100,00, 0 200,000 discrepancies or fraudulent votes, and that includes votes that went through when they were not allowed to be seen by republican poll watchers, because the poll watchers were locked out of the building. or people that innocently c

you hear the governor of wisconsin. tony evers, making the announcement that ten electoral votes are going to biden and harris. it is very, very significant moment there. let's check in. north carolina, a state president donald trump carried, they just voted. >> the electoral votes of the state of north carolina have been cast on this 14th day of december, 2020, by the 15 north carolina republican electors, and all 15 votes are for donald j. trump for president of the united states. >> that's the 15 electoral votes in north carolina. let's check in in ohio now. they've just made their electoral college votes official. president-elect biden was the first to win the presidency without winning ohio. >> the secretary, i invite you back to the podium to explain the procedure for electors to memorialize their votes. >> so there you have ohio and its 18 electoral votes going for trump. in kentucky they finished voting as well, commonwealth of kentucky has 8 electoral votes. watch this. >> the electors for commonwealth of kentu

the recount conducted in wisconsin actually saw our margin grow. the margin we had in michigan was 14 times the margin president won that state by four years ago. our margin in pennsylvania was nearly twice the size of the trump margin four years ago. and yet none of this has stopped baseless claims about the legitimacy of the results. even more stunning, 17 republican attorneys general and 126 republican members of the congress actually signed on to a lawsuit filed by the state of texas. that lawsuit asked the united states supreme court to reject the certified vote counts in georgia, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. this legal maneuver was an effort by elected officials to try to get the supreme court to wipe out the votes of more than 20 million americans in other states. and to hand the presidency to a candidate who lost the electoral college, lost the popular vote, and lost each and every one of the states whose votes they were trying to reverse. it is a position so extreme, we've never seen it before. a position that refused to respect

we know he lost arizona by just over 10,000 votes and wisconsin was by 20 6000 votes. significant since he won this states in 2016. he and his legal team continue to act as if the results are under dispute and we expect more legal challenges to come. in wisconsin, there has already been to countywide recounts paid for by the trump team and more legal challenges are expected there. in arizona, they have five days to contest the results. rudy giuliani was meeting with certain republican state lawmakers looking for what they hope to find more evidence of fraud that so far has not showed up. the republican governor of the state was on hand for the certification announcement today and he's on the record as saying there has been no evidence of fraud in arizona. this is an important step for joe biden and the transition. anchor: let's bring in a professor johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. he joins us from washington, d.c.. what was once a formality has taken on significance with the president refusing to accept defeat. what do these announcements means?

we are finding new losses today and wisconsin filed 366 pages detailing how wisconsin law was violated. these people are real. these stories are important. >> sean: kayleigh, thank you. you took a lot of heat. now it has all been corroborated in your own voice. i wish it would've happened sooner. but we've been waiting to hear from people. we are hearing from them. very important. more troubling allegations coming out of the state of georgia tonight. undercover tapes, fake new cnn, the chief jeff zucker will join us for an exclusive interview new and we got the first day tapes right here straight ahead. ♪ >> sean: >> sean: when you think things can get more corrupt, more troubling development tonight out of the great state of tageorgia as we are now learning that an executive at the "nonprofit" that is assisting in the georgia recount has a history of ireland anti-trump tweets and has expressed his hate of the president. tweeted "f donald trump and all his enablers." nice guy. also paul "the g.o.p. rotten to the core."e. severance they were hired by that geniusif state to provide log

one of the latest losses in wisconsin. >> the certification of the results of the 2020 wisconsin presidential election, after the dane county and milwaukee county recounts, is affirmed. >> reporter: the president is now trying to take credit for the authorization of the coronavirus vaccine, tweeting that the head of the food and drug administration get the vaccines out now, misspelling the word dam. sources say white house chief of staff mike meadows told dr. hahn to green light the vaccine by the end of the day or resign, but hahn says it is not true, adding in a statement it is an untrue representation of the phone call with the chief of staff. the fda was encouraged to work expeditiously on the emergency use authorization request. the fda is committed to issuing this quickly as we noted in our statement this morning. the president isn't sounding very festive heading into the holidays as some of his twitter posts sound straight out of a personal diary, like when he tweeted, i just want to stop the world from killing itself. still, the president's supporters aren't giving up. >> jesus is my

"the legislature finds the privilege of voting by absentee ballot must be carefully regulated to prevent fraud or abuse. to prevent overzealous solicitation of absent electors who may prefer not to participate. to prevent undue influence on the absent elector to vote for or against a candidate. as a consequence our laws are strictly construed and even more , results do not comply with regulations may not be included in the certified result of any election." it is very straightforward the state of wisconsin has taken a different vie

in wisconsin we just completed a recount. we have more than 2,500 volunteers, or probably more than a thousand volunteers for the biden campaign as well. uniquely we are able to examine actual envelopes that contain the ballots that are submitted by absentee voters. this allowed us to identify by person, by address, by ward, it's not conspiracy, the real names are in the record, and here's what we found. we found that there were incomplete, and altered certificates. these are the certificates on the front of the envelopes, that have to be exactly done correctly under our law. if not. those results are not counted. more than 3,000 of those identified by person were nonetheless counted even though they are clearly invalid under the law. a second category. initials of clerks are placed on all of those envelopes. why? because the clerk identifies it having been properly received, and identification is provided. that's the check in advance of the election. what did we find? more than 2,000 of those ballots in dane and milwaukee co

also here from the wisconsin attorney who argued the case before the wisconsin supreme court that reince just outlined. it will be very eye-opening for those who are tuning in each and every night here because you ha. tomorrow is the big day. >> sean: as we look at that, i understand the pennsylvania case moving forward. i'm still venting, but i'm looking at the dominion problem in michigan, is there anything to that? and i understand arizona now is going to have a look-see. a little late in the process for my liking, the forensic analysis of the machines. i was saying to do that almost from the beginning. anything that you see without? >> well, it just shows the machines had a very high error rate, so what the forensic experts found is that when you have a 60% error rate, what that meant is the ballots should have went to adjudication, and that is where they needed the safeguards, signature matching, the address verification, and when he goes to that point of adjudication, it's there where the safeguards are so necessary. that's what that shows, and it's why we need -- in georgia, for i

those wisconsin recounts in the end showed that biden not only won in wisconsin definitively, those recounts showed that biden's margin of victory was a little larger than had previously been thought. the recount that trump paid for found that biden's victory was larger by 87 votes than what they had thought before the recount was done. so, did you get your money's worth there, right? your fixed-income, great aunt who sends in 10 bucks every time the trump campaign texts her, emails her and tells her they're desperate for her money so they can litigate the election and win the second term for trump? i mean, think she's getting good bang for her buck? think she's glad she paid for that wisconsin recount and all these lawsuits? does your gullible trump-supporting qanon-believing cousin get his money's worth, right, when he pitched in money to help the trumpy lawyers file their new lawsuit challenging the vote in michigan? that's the new lawsuit, the new trump lawyers lawsuit in michigan where their expert testimony that they've just filed with the court is all about how there was very clear fr

you'll also hear from the wisconsin attorney who argued the case before the wisconsin supreme court that rains outlined. you've laid it out, tomorrow is a big day. >> as we look at that, i understand that the pennsylvania case is moving forward. i'm still betting, but i'm looking at the dominion problem in michigan. is there anything to that, and i understand arizona now is going to have a look see. it's a little late in the process for my liking, the forensic analysis of the machines. iowa saying that we ought to do that almost from the beginning. anything you see from that? >> edges shows these machines had a very high error rate. when you have a 60% error rate, what that meant was those ballots went to adjudication. in that process, that's where the poll workers needed a safeguard, the signature matching, address verification. when it goes to that point of adjudication, it's when those safeguards are so necessary. that's what that shows and it's why we need in georgia for instance, today joe biden during a speech that went pretty much unnoticed by most, he literally said, stacey abram

it is disappointing in wisconsin. we have a long history in wisconsin, unlike other states, i know unlike other states, of high transparency. our recounts were conducted with utmost integrity by both milwaukee and dane county with thousands of volunteers able to look at those items and it's really a sad day, thankfully the opposition doesn't argue we're wrong. it argues we shouldn't be heard. that's a strange thing in a state that is so transparent as ours. >> just real quick i know former director krebs talked about the men and women who run the elections. i had a half hour conversation with my county clerk. i will tell you if every county clerk ran their elections like our county does, we would have a completely secure election. i think that's true of the vast majority of elections in different precincts. mr. benal, mr. troupis talking about the law he was arguing before the wisconsin supreme court was ignored. you had a similar statement. it wasn't information you presented the committee, it was never rebutted. it

following a defeat in wisconsin, the supreme court, the chief justice and wisconsin issued a powerful dissent. the chief justice of wisconsin said it, a significant portion of the public does not believe that the presidential election was fairly conducted. once again, for just to sit us on this court could not be bothered with addressing with the statutes require to assure that absentee ballots are lawfully cast. the chief justice continuous. for members of this court throws a cloak over numerous problems that will be repeated again and again until this court has the courage tove correct them. in other dissenting justice remarking "every single voter in this state is harmed when a vote is cast in contribution of the statutes and goes on an to wrie that the ruling is "doomed to create chaos, uncertainty, undermine confidence and spawn need listen and this is the rule of judicial activism through an action. okay, this means nothing to the media and nothing to the democrats are activist judges, they don't care about truth, facts or the law..ay they only care about one thing, power and po

wisconsin is a lawsuit where wisconsin has a very strict absentee ballot and it basically says if you don't have an application for the ballot, the ballot doesn't count. there are some 50 or 60,000 ballots without applications, they would have to be thrown out and that would change the election. maria: so -- >> that's where we are right now. maria: you say you found serious issues with processing of ballots, absentee ballots in wisconsin. >> oh, of course, yeah. i mean, what you had in wisconsin is the same thing that you had every place else, except they have this additional law where you have to have an application. they excluded republican poll watchers from watching absentee ballots being counted and mail-in ballots being counted. they exclude republican poll watchers from the polls. they engage in back-dating ballots, several witnesses testified how they were trained to back-date ballots. they've registered people who weren't registered under different names. each one of them has in one degree or another almost the same pattern of activity. one a little bit more than others. this

wisconsin. th he currently partner in the w office. >> i am honored to be here. thank you for h the invitation. as for written testimony, i will provide additional remarks. >> without objection, everybody submitted testimony and automatically submitted into the record. >> thank you. wisconsinto treated quite differently, i believe that other parts of the country. let me read for you what the legislature found. the legislature finds the privilege of voting for absentee ballots must be carefully regulated to prevent potential for fraud for abuse, prevent solicitation and those who prefer not to participate in an election. our laws are strictly construed and even more, let me read from the law, results that do not comply with the regulations may not be included in the certified results f of election so it is veryno straight forward. wisconsin has takenud a review f imprisoned voting with all protections and absentee voting repeatedly in the commission reportrt, a source of significat potential of f

we won georgia big, we won pennsylvania, big, we won wisconsin webig.sc we won it big. won all of these states. >> in reality, and here is a fact a check, trump won none of those states, the trumps electoral loss will be official tomorrow. national security contributor, good toec see you. thanks for joining us. this is an important conversation. so much of what we heard this president say over and over, continues to say, as i play the sound there, he continues to push baseless claims of election fraud. there are 70 million folks who voted for this president. 60% plus of which policy the election washe stolen from them. we saw what happened in the streets it ised danger use. this president and those 100 plus congressional republicans supporting his efforts to overturn this election. >> yes, it is remarkable to watch an interview with the president and have news reporter standing there, knowing that that is a complete lie and not challenging it, that is why it continues to go on. if you are watching what the president says, and you tend to believe it. you see the people m

wisconsin is not an early vote state, so unlike most of you watching, wisconsin does not actually allow early vote, but with -- they said we are going to recreate our own system of voting and allow people to voten in person, absentee. he created all kinds of problems, and in fact, the trump campaign came to a 4-3 decision in the supreme court, an 80-plus page opinion, which was narrowly lost, so they are going to court on that issue. the second issue is it is a free speech issue, because the mineral loss by the trump campaign was because the supreme court said that you lose on the basisis of something cals latches, and i know you know what that means, basically saying the trump campaign, you should have brought all of these election complaints early before the election. the problem with that, trey, that would require every candidate in america, not just for this race but in future races, to bring every single problem they have at the election laws in the state of wisconsin to the court before running. in other words, if you want to run for state senate or congress, you better prelitigat

look at nevada, look at arizona, look at wisconsin. i mentioned that before. 44,000 votes for latinos in wisconsin. we lost wisconsin by 22,000 votes or 21,000 votes in 2016. we knew that latinos could be the difference maker. we had a 40,000 vote swing in wisconsin in 2020. same deal in michigan. another state we would talk about morris joe biden had actually won it. he came close. north carolina, you saw dramatic increase in latino voter turnout. you see the latino population is exploding. i recognize that immediately in my tenure. that is why we made these early investments not only in talking to latino voters, but also fielding and supporting latino candidates down ballots. we have seen tremendous progress in that area. is there more to do? of course there is. but we are far better off now than we were four years ago. all politics is personal. you can't show up every fourth of october at someone's church and call that organizing. that is transactional politics. and the reason why we won in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 is because we b

the breaking news is about wisconsin and election lobbied we happen to have an up wisconsin law a expert with us. let's start with you, rice. what should the viewers take from this appeal to the u.s. supreme court? >> well, merry christmas and happy new year's to you, trey, and doug. what the trump campaign is doing that is they are making a claim on two fronts. first, and wisconsin, the state legislature is the only group of people that have a right to choose the manner in which electors are chosen. and without repeating, because i know the viewers have heard me talk about this case, the issue they are -- it was the clerks in wisconsin that chose to run the election contrary to state law. if they are not an early vote state. so unlike most of you watching, wisconsin does not actually allow early vote, but the clerk says they were going to recreate their own system of voting. going to allow people to vote in person absentee. it created all kinds of problems. in fact, the trump campaign came to a 4-3 decision in the supreme court in nad plus page opinion. which was narrowly lost. the seco

now if the other thing happening today the trump campaign with a lawsuit in wisconsin. that follows a recount in two cocounties, milwaukee and requested and paid for by the trump campaign. that recount confirmed joe biden won the badger state but the trump campaign said examining pellets during the recount, they found lots of evidence to support the grounds of their lawsuit. the president contends that thousands of ballots were cast outside of the bounds of wisconsin state law. the president tweeting about development in nevada earlier today saying "agenda nevada has ordered clark county officials to allow an inspection of the equipment and sealed containers used for the 2020 election by 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. where all of this might be headed is unclear because states continue to and certify the votes of their election that doesn't some cases like georgia, wisconsin lead to challenges in the form of recounts. but supporters of the president say he is right to fight this thing all the way down until the final deadline. listen here. >> the president has been unapologetic fo
