STICK
WITH POT POLITICS. I WANT TO
BRING IN NATALIE JENNINGS.
NOW THE EDITOR, THE WASHINGTON
POST'S, THE FIX NOW. GOOD
MORNING ELECTION DAY FINALLY
HERE HERE BUT IN 2020 IT COULD
BE MORE LIKE ELECTION WEEK
MAYBE EVEN
ELECTION MONTH. WHAT WOULD NEED
TO HAPPEN FOR US TO KNOW THE
WINNER TONIGHT. I THINK THERE'S
ONE SITTING.
>> WHERE WE WELL KNOW THE
WEATHER TONIGHT AND START AN
UNLIKELY SCENARIO I DON'T WANT
PEOPLE YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S
VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE IN THE
MEDIA. GET PEOPLE RIGHT
THE RIGHT THING TO EXPECT
TONIGHT WHICH COULD BE DELAYED.
BUT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT
WE KNOW THE WINNER TONIGHT IS
JOE BIDEN WINS FLORIDA AND
NORTH CAROLINA, WHICH ARE 2 OF
THE BIG
SWING STATES THAT ALREADY
COUNTING MAIL IN BALLOTS ON
LIKE PENNSYLVANIA WHERE MEGAN
WAS WHICH IS WAITING TO COME
ABOUT HIT FLORIDA AND NORTH
CAROLINA ARE COUNTING BALLOTS
IF THOSE GO FOR JOE BIDEN IT'S
GOING TO
MAKE IT REALLY HARD TO SEE HOW
PRESIDENT TRUMP COULD WIN AND
WE COULD SEE A RACE CALL IN
THAT SITUATION. WE KNOW FLORIDA
IS ANYTHING BUT PREDICTABLE BUT
THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE EARLY IN
THE NIGHT, THE FINAL CLOSE
CLOSE IN FLORIDA AT
08:00PM EASTERN. SO YOU KNOW
ONE THING TO KNOW. WE'RE GOING
TO KNOW THINGS QUICKLY.
SO IF FLORIDA AND NORTH
CAROLINA GO FOR
JOE BIDEN THEN IT BECOMES MORE
DIFFICULT FOR FOR PRESIDENT
TRUMP TO WIN REELECTION.
WHAT THOSE ARE CLOSE OR GO FOR
PRESIDENT TRUMP AT THAT POINT
WHAT DO YOU WATCH.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO BE IN
YOU KNOW WHO KNOWS HOW
WE ALMOST CERTAINLY
WON'T GET FINAL RESULTS FROM
RUST BELT STATES PENNSYLVANIA,
WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN ALL
THOSE ARE WAITING.
COUNT BALLOTS UNTIL TODAY, SO
IT COULD TAKE DAYS.
HOPEFULLY NOT MORE THAN DAYS,
BUT IT COULD TAKE A REALLY LONG
TIME TO TO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
TOTALS
ARE THERE AND AND THEN WE
GET IN TO A SITUATION WHERE
THERE COULD BE LITIGATION.
WE KNOW BOTH SIDES ARE PREPARED
TO WATCH FIGHTS IN COURT OVER
BALLOTS IN CLOSE RACES.
THERE'S ANY NUMBER OF THINGS
THAT COULD SPRING AND WE
STARTING TIME THE WHACK A MOLE
COURT WRITE-IN VOTES OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS.
THE 95 MILLION VOTES HAVE
ALREADY BEEN CAST AT THIS POINT
SO WE KNOW
THAT THAT EARLY VOTING WAS
TURNED OUT PEOPLE IN RECORD
NUMBERS, CERTAIN STATES
HAVE STARTED COUNTING THOSE
BALLOTS OTHER STATES HAVE NOT
CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH THAT A
BIT.
YES SO IT'S UP TO STATE
LEGISLATURES AND STATE
GOVERNMENTS THEY RUN THE
ELECTION IN
THEIR STATES. AND SO THEY SET
THE TIMING FOR WHEN THEY CAN
START COUNTING VOTES. THEN SO
THAT MEANS
YOU KNOW A STATE LIKE FLORIDA
WHICH KIND OF HAS A REPUTATION
YOU KNOW
PROLONGED AFTER THE 2000
ELECTION OF BEING A LITTLE BIT
CHAOTIC AFTER THE ELECTION
ACTUALLY HAS DONE SOMETHING
TAKE TO MINIMIZE THAT TODAY.
THEY STARTED WEEKS AGO COUNTING
THE BALLOTS THAT CAME
IN THERE. BUT IT'S DIFFERENT IN
EACH STATE AND
WE'LL SEE. STATE SUPREME COURTS
WEIGH LIKE WE DID IN
PENNSYLVANIA COUPLE WEEKS AGO
ON HOW LONG PEOPLE HAVE TO GET
THOSE
BALLOTS IN WHETHER THINGS CAN
BE COUNTED SO THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS IT'S NOT
VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD
UNFORTUNATELY MAKES IT HARD FOR
VIEWERS TO WATCH BUT YOU KIND
OF HAVE TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE 10
IMPORTANT SWING STATES AND WHAT
ARE THEY ARE COUNTING
MECHANISMS TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO KNOW TONIGHT.
AND WE KNOW HILLARY CLINTON OF
COURSE WAS WAS IT AHEAD IN THE
POLLS, BUT TRUMP WOUND UP
WINNING, IS THERE A FEELING
THAT THE POLLS ARE SKEWED AT
THIS POINT THAT THE TRUMP VOTE
IS BEING UNDERREPRESENTED.
WE WILL SEE THE ULTIMATE TEST
OF THAT TONIGHT WHAT HAPPENED
LAST TIME WAS HILLARY CLINTON
WON THE POPULAR VOTE WHICH
CHRIS DOES NOT DETERMINE THE
PRESIDENCY AND SHE WAS LEADING
IN NATIONAL POLLS. SO THAT
NATIONAL POLL NUMBER WAS
ACTUALLY CORRECT IT DIDN'T
REALLY MEAN ANYTHING WHAT WAS
FIRST POLLS IN
THAT SWUNG FOR TRUMP MORE THAN
POLLS ARE INDICATING THEY WOULD
POLLSTERS HAVE MADE THEY THINK
THEY HAVE. GIVEN MORE WEIGHT
NON-CALLS VOTERS WHICH WAS A
BIG PROBLEM, THEY MISS A LOT OF
THOSE VOTERS LAST TIME. SO
WE'LL SEE TONIGHT IF THOSE
TWEAKS BEAR OUT IN WHAT WE HAVE
IN WHAT WE SEE IN
THE FINAL FINAL VOTES. I MEAN
THAT THIS RACE HAS BEEN REALLY
STABLE CALLING PERSPECTIVE.
THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF UP
AND DOWN IN ANY PARTICULAR
STATE. SO YOU KNOW WE THINK WE
KNOW WHAT THE ELECTORATE
LOOKS LIKE WELL NO WHETHER T
