WE APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT FOR
US THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU.
>> WE LEARNED A LOT THERE BUT
I’M CONFUSED WHEN IT COMES TO
THE PENNSYLVANIA LAWSUIT.
DOES THAT HAVE TEETH AND WHAT
DOES ALL THAT MEAN?
>> OF ALL THE LITIGATION THAT’S
OUT THERE, THIS PENNSYLVANIA
LAWSUIT IS REGARDED AS THE ONE
THAT IS MOST PROMISING FOR THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU.
THIS HAS TO DO WITH A BATCH OF
VOLTS THAT WOULD HAVE COME IN
BETWEEN TUESDAY AND FRIDAY,
TODAY.
NOW, UNDER THE LAW AND UNDER THE
SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA’S
DECISION, THOSE VOTES HAD TO BE
SENT BY ELECTION DAY, OKAY.
YOU COULD NOT SEASONED THEMND TH
ELECTION DAY.
BUT IF THEY ARRIVED BY FRIDAY,
THE PENNSYLVANIA SPORT SAID
WE’LL ACCEPT THEY WILL.
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OBJECTED.
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
SAID LET’S SEE IF THIS IS
RELEVANT.
WHY DON’T YOU SEGREGATE THOSE
TUESDAY TO FRIDAY VOTES, PUT
THEM IN A DIFFERENT PILE AND IF
IT BECOMES RELEVANT, IF IT
BECOMES AN ISSUE IN THE
ELECTION, IF IT BECOMES
SOMETHING THAT COULD ACTUALLY
CHANGE THE OUTCOME, WE’LL LOOK
AT IT, WE’LL HAVE A PILE OF
THEM, WE’LL KNOW EXACTLY HOW
MANY ARE THERE.
AND THAT IS WHAT SENATOR TOOMEY
IS TALKING ABOUT.
LET’S BRING CHUCK AND KASIE INTO
THIS CONVERSATION.
I GUESS THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY
POTENTIALLY OF THOSE VOTES ARE
THERE, LET’S CALL THEM THE
TUESDAY TO FRIDAY VOTES, THOSE
SENT BY ELECTION DAY THAT MAY
HAVE ARRIVED A FEW DAYS LATER.
HOW MANY POTENTIALLY ARE THERE
AND COULD THEY MAKE A DEFERENCE?
>>
-- DIFFERENCE?
>> WE DON’T KNOW HOW MANY THEY
ARE.
IT’S A QUESTION I’VE NOT GOTTEN
CLARITY ON.
THE DECISION TO SEGREGATE THEM
WAS SMART BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN’T,
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN, WELL, YOU’VE MESSED UP THE
ENTIRE BALLOT, YOU’VE MESSED UP
THE INTEGRITY OF THE COUNT.
SO SETTING THEM ASIDE -- WHAT
WAS INTERESTING IS THIS WAS A
DECISION BY THE PENNSYLVANIA
SECRETARY OF STATE AND THEIR
ELECTIONS DIVISION SAID WE’D
BETTER SET IT ASIDE ALMOST IN
ANTICIPATION OF THE NEXT ROUND
BEING YOU BETTER NOT COUNT THOSE
BALLOTS.
I AM CONFUSED.
HAVE THEY COUNTED THE BALLOTS
ARE OR THEY LITERALLY SITTING IN
A CORNER IN THAT ROOM THAT WE
KEEP SHOWING THAT’S THE
PHILADELPHIA ROOM AND WE DON’T
KNOW HOW MANY BALLOTS THERE ARE.
>> TO REASSURE PEOPLE, IF THIS
DOES BECOME AN ISSUE, IT SOUNDS
LIKE THE PENNSYLVANIA
AUTHORITIES HAVE SET THEM ASIDE
SO THIS CAN GO THROUGH A PROPER
PROCESS.
IT’S MESSY.
WE DON’T KNOW IF IT WILL AMOUNT
TO ANYTHING BUT IT’S THERE.
THE OTHER THING I’LL ADD IS WHEN
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DID LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND AS I
SAID, THEY TABLED IT, SAID LET’S
SEE IF IT BECOMES RELEVANT.
THAT WAS A 4-4 COURT.
THERE WERE EIGHT MEMBERS AT THE
MOMENT.
AMY CONEY BARRETT DIDN’T TAKE
PART BECAUSE SHE JUST ARRIVED.
THE QUESTION IF IT COMES UP
BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT AGAIN,
WILL SHE RECUSE HERSELF.
>> IF THERE IS A PATTERN WITH
THIS SUPREME COURT, THERE ARE
MORE DEFERENTIAL TO STATE
LEGISLATURES THAN THEY ARE TO
STATE COURTS.
>> AND BIG PICTURE HERE, LET’S
NOT FORGET OF COURSE, THE NUMBER
OF BALLOTS IS RELEVANT BECAUSE
OF THE MARGIN IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THE WIDER THAT MARGIN IS, THE
LESS LIKELY THIS IS TO MATTER.
IF THIS COMES DOWN TO
PENNSYLVANIA, WE STILL HAVE
NEVADA, GEORGIA, ARIZONA THAT
HAS A POTENTIAL PATH FOR VICE
PRESIDENT BIDEN.
HE BROUGHT IT UP UNPROMPTED THAT
HE HAD WATCHED THE PRESIDENT’S
SPEECH AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO
WAF.
HE IS PLANNING TO RETIRE FROM
THE SENATE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
YEARS.
I THINK HE WAS VERY PUBLIC IN
HIS NOTES OF CAUTION AND THAT
REFLECTS A DEEP RELUCTANCE ON
THE PART OF MANY IN THE
PRESIDENT’S PARTY TO GET TOO FAR
OUT THERE ON THIS ALLEGATION.
IF THERE’S EVIDENCE, BRING IT.
>> THAT’S WHERE THE TENSION IS.
SOME REPUBLICAN MEMBERS ARE
CIRCLING THE WAGONS SAYING
THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON HERE
AND YOU HAVE OTHER REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS SAYING HOLD ON A MINUTE,
THERE IS NOT ONE SCINTILLA OF
EVIDENCE THERE’S ANY FRAUD,
