>> Sandra: A LIVE LOOK AT THE
BIG MAP AS THE RACE TO 270
CONTINUES WITH JOE BIDEN
HOLDING 264 AT THIS HOUR.
DONALD TRUMP AT 214.
A WIN IN ANY OF THE KEY
BATTLEGROUNDS LEFT WOULD PUT
JOE BIDEN OVER THE TOP AS WE
KNOW.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD HAVE TO
RUN THE BOARD TO REACH THAT 270
MARK.
ERIC SHAWN IS JOINING US LIVE
ON THE GROUND IN PHILADELPHIA.
AS I PUT UP THE STATE ON THE
MAP I WANT TO POINT OUT A
COUPLE KEY COUNTIES WE WATCH AT
THIS HOUR AS WE KNOW JOE BIDEN
IS LEADING IN THE STATE BY .1%.
THIS CHANGED AT THE TOP OF THE
HOUR.
THE DIFFERENCE WITH 98% OF THE
VOTE IS 5,596 VOTES.
WE’RE WATCHING ALLEGANY COUNTY.
WE KNOW AS OF LAST CHECK THERE
WERE 36,000 BALLOTS LEFT TO BE
COUNTED THERE.
IN THAT COUNTY SOLIDLY JOE
BIDEN 59% OF THE VOTE TO DONALD
TRUMP’S 40%.
YOU GO BACK OUT TO THE STATE.
A FOCUS IS PHILADELPHIA COUNTY.
81% OF THE VOTE GOING TO JOE
BIDEN THERE.
STILL MANY VOTES, TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF VOTES YET TO BE
COUNTED IN THAT COUNTY.
WATCHING THIS STATE CLOSELY.
THAT’S WHERE WE FIND YOU THIS
MORNING, ERIC.
WHAT IS THE LATEST YOU CAN TELL
US AHEAD OF HEARING FROM THOSE
OFFICIALS ON THE GROUND ONE
HOUR FROM NOW?
>> THE LATEST HERE IS DESPITE
THE NOISE AND ACCUSATIONS ON
THE OUTSIDE AND BUILDING BEHIND
ME THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION
CENTER THE WORK OF COUNTING
THIS RACE IS CONTINUING VOTE BY
VOTE AS THE WORKERS ARE DOING
THE WORK THEY ARE TASKED FOR,
THE ELECTION POLL WORKERS HERE
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
AS PART OF JOE BIDEN’S
STRENGTH, HE IS, OF COURSE,
SCRANTON JOE, HAVING BEEN BORN
HERE EVEN THOUGH HE MOVED TO
DELAWARE WHEN HE WAS YOUNG
BECAUSE HIS FATHER GOT A JOB IN
DELAWARE.
ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON WORKING
CLASS ROOTS BEING A
PENNSYLVANIA-BORN NATIVE SON
AND REALLY REACH OUT TO NOT
JUST THE WORKING CLASS, BUT THE
MIDDLE CLASS AND THOSE SUBURBAN
VOTERS.
THE MASSIVE TILT 80% PLUS IN
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, THE CITY
OF PHILADELPHIA, ALSO NOT
REFLECTED TO THAT LEVEL BUT
STRONGLY IN WHAT THEY CALL THE
COLLAR COUNTIES SUCH AS
MONTGOMERY RIGHT AROUND THE
PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS.
THOSE ALSO GOING TOWARD BIDEN
CLEARLY.
AS FOR THE COUNT HERE AND THE
ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD, WE HAVE
NOT SEEN ANY EVIDENCE OF ANY
TYPE OF MASSIVE FRAUD OR IN
FACT ANY REPORT AT THE MOMENT.
THERE COULD BE SOME PROBLEMS
WITH 30 BALLOTS IN ONE COUNTY.
WE’LL WAIT TO CONFIRM WHAT TYPE
OF SITUATION THAT IS.
IT IS, I THINK AS WE REFLECT, A
REMARKABLE PERSONAL AMERICAN
STORY FOR JOSEPH BIDEN.
77 YEARS OLD.
TRIED FOR THE PRESIDENCY TWICE
BEFORE.
YOUNGEST SENATOR EVER ELECTED
FROM DELAWARE.
HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER KILLED IN
A CAR CRASH.
HE HAD TO PERSEVERE THROUGH
THAT.
STAY IN THE SENATE THROUGH
DECADES.
THROUGH THE DEATH OF HIS
BELOVED SON BEAU.
I SAW MR. BIDEN IN 2016 AT THE
COMMENCEMENT AT COLBY COLLEGE
IN MAINE WHERE HE GAVE AN
EMOTIONAL STIRRING ADDRESS TO
YOUNG GRADUATES.
AFTER COLLEGE GRADUATION, A
COUPLE HOURS LATER AND YOU HAVE
LUNCH AND COME BACK.
ON THE HIT THERE WAS A CROWD
AROUND TWO BLACK SUVs.
THE REPORTER IN ME SAID IT’S
HIM, HE IS THERE.
SURE ENOUGH.
HE STAYED AT THE COMMENCEMENT
FOR 2 1/2 HOURS AFTER TALKING
TO 30 PEOPLE WHEN THEY TALKED
ABOUT BEAU.
I THOUGHT THEN HE IS RUNNING.
BEAU TRIED TO HAVE HIM PROMISE
HE WOULD RUN.
HE DID NOT THINK THE LAST TIME
WAS THE TIME BECAUSE OF HILLARY
CLINTON’S JAUGER NAUGHT AND
HUGE LEAD AND MONEY AND BEGGED
OFF LAST TIME.
THIS TIME HE DID NOT AND HE MAY
COME UP WITH SUCCESS.
FINALLY, THE CITY COMMISSIONERS
HERE WE’RE WAITING FOR THE NEWS
CONFERENCE TO UPDATE THE
NUMBERS.
50,000 BALLOTS STILL REMAIN TO
BE COUNTED.
WE EXPECT 20,000 TO COME IN.
LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING THAT’S
VERY IMPORTANT.
OUR VIEWERS AT HOME HAVE HEARD
ABOUT THE MASSIVE VOTES THAT
APPEARED FOR JOE BIDEN.
THAT’S NOT TRUE.
THE FACT IS THAT THEY COUNT THE
VOTES AND THEY CONTINUE THAT.
THEN THEY DECIDE FOUR TIMES A
DAY TO RELEASE THE NUMBERS.
THE OFFICIALS STRONGLY SAY
THERE IS NO ELECTION FRAUD.
THEY REFUTE AND REJECT ALL OF
THE ALLEGATIONS FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND HIS CAMPAIGN CONCERNING ANY
POSSIBLE NEFARIOUS ACTIONS HERE.
THEY SAY IT’S NOT TRUE AT ALL
AS THEY CONTINUE, THEY SAY, TO
FAIRLY AND HONESTLY COUNT THE
VOTES.
WE EXPECT THAT UPDATE WITHIN
THE NEXT HOUR AND THE
COMMISSIONERS HAVE SAID THAT
THEY WILL LIKELY HAVE A RESULT
HERE COMPLETELY LATER ON TODAY.
>> Sandra: OF COURSE LOOKING AT
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY WAITING ON
THE ADDITIONAL VOTES THERE YOU
