WE’LL HAVE THE VERY LATEST.
>>> BUT FIRST, STILL TOO
CLOSE TO CALL.
THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE
HANGS IN THE BALANCE TWO
DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY WITH
SEVERAL STATES STILL UP FOR
GRABS.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
THIS NOON I’M RHONDA WALKER.
WE DO WANT TO GET STRAIGHT
TO THINGS AS TO HOW THEY
STAND ON THE RACE TO 270
ELECTORAL VOTES.
LOOKING AT THE MAP RIGHT NOW
YOU CAN SEE THAT JOE BIDEN
IS LEADING PRESIDENT TRUMP
264 ELECTORAL VOTES TO 214.
SEVERAL BATTLEGROUND STATES
HAVE YET TO DECLARE A WINNER
AS BALLOTS ARE STILL BEING
COUNTED AND THOSE COUNTS
COULD LAST THROUGH FRIDAY.
THAT INCLUDES NEVADA, WHERE
A WIN FOR BIDEN WOULD
ACTUALLY PUT HIM EXACTLY AT
270 ELECTORAL VOTES.
WE’RE EXPECTING AN UPDATE
THIS AFTERNOON FROM THERE.
>>> PENNSYLVANIA ON THE
OTHER HAND, STILL TOO EARLY
TO CALL BECAUSE THERE IS
STILL A LOT OF VOTES LEFT TO
COUNT.
A WIN HERE BY BIDEN WOULD
ALSO PUSH HIM OVER 270
ELECTORAL VOTES.
IN GEORGIA, WHERE THE
PRESIDENT’S LEAD OVER BIDEN
IS NARROWING, LIKE IN
PENNSYLVANIA, THIS IS A MUST
WIN ARE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
FOR HIM TO HAVE A CHANCE AT
REACHING 270 ELECTORAL
VOTES.
HERE AT HOME WITH 99% OF THE
VOTES IN, JOE BIDEN WINNING
MICHIGAN FLIPPING THE STATE
BACK TO DEMOCRATS AFTER
PRESIDENT TRUMP WON IN 2016.
AS THE BALLOTS CONTINUE TO
BE COUNTED ACROSS THE
COUNTRY PROTESTS ARE
BREAKING OUT NEAR OFFICES
WHERE THOSE COUNTS ARE
TAKING PLACE.
YOU ARE GETTING A LOOK AT
PROTESTS IN NEVADA, IN
ARIZONA, RIGHT NOW PROTESTS
ARE OUTSIDE OF THE T.C.F.
CENTER IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT
AS WELL.
MANY WERE TRYING TO GET
INSIDE OF THOSE SPACES WHERE
THE COUNTS WERE BEING MADE
TO TRY AND STOP THE
OFFICIALS FROM COUNTING.
OTHER RALLIES ARE ALSO BEING
HELD ACROSS THE COUNTRY
MAKING SURE THAT EVERY VOTE
IS COUNTED.
THE BALLOT COUNTING AT THE
T.C.F. CENTER IS DONE BUT
DRAMA IS STILL HAPPENING.
WE WANT TO GET OUT TO HANK
WINCHESTER WHO IS STANDING
BY WITH NEWS OF A BRAND NEW
LAWSUIT.
WHAT’S THIS ONE OVER, HANK?
>> Reporter: RHONDA, YOU’RE
RIGHT IT’S DRAMA AND LEGAL
CHALLENGE THURSDAY.
WELCOME TO IT.
LET ME GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK
BEHIND ME.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE
MANY TRUMP SUPPORTERS HERE
THEY HAVE NOW BEEN MOVED
OUTSIDE OF THE T.C.F.
CENTER.
A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE ALONG
WITH SOME DEMOCRATS WERE
DOWNSTAIRS YESTERDAY THAT
WERE WORKING TO MAKE THEIR
WAY INSIDE THE AREA WHERE
THE VOTES WERE BEING COUNTED
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE ON BOTH
SIDES REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS, THAT THE PROCESS
BEING CARRIED OUT IS NOT A
FAIR ONE.
SO LET’S GET TO SOME OF THE
LEGAL CHALLENGES RIGHT NOW.
THE TRUMP TEAM AS YOU KNOW
HAD FILED SUIT IN MICHIGAN
WORKING TO STOP THE COUNTING
BECAUSE THEY FELT THAT IT
WAS NOT FAIR AND LEGAL.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS
FIRED BACK SAYING THAT
THERE’S REALLY ESSENTIALLY
NOTHING TO STOP.
THAT THE COUNTING IS NOW
OVER HERE IN MICHIGAN.
IN FACT, WE HAVE A STATEMENT
FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH
YOU THAT WE RECEIVED A SHORT
TIME AGO.
IT READS, MICHIGAN’S
ELECTIONS HAVE BEEN
CONDUCTED TRANSPARENTLY WITH
ACCESS PROVIDED FOR BOTH
POLITICAL PARTIES AND THE
PUBLIC AND USE AGRO BUST
SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND
BALANCES TO ENSURE THAT ALL
BALLOTS ARE COUNTED FAIRLY
AND ACCURATELY.
THERE’S ALSO NEW AFFIDAVIT
THAT’S COME TO LIGHT TODAY A
WOMAN WHO HAS COME FORWARD
SAYING SHE WAS HERE AT THE
T.C.F. CENTER SHE WAS BEING
TOLD SHE CLAIMS BY ELECTION
OFFICIALS, TO CHANGE THE
DATE ON BALLOTS THAT WERE
BEING BROUGHT IN AND WERE
BEING COUNTED HERE AT T.C.F.
AGAIN THE MAIN HEADLINE FROM
THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS
THE COUNTING HERE IS OVER.
IN HER VIEW, NOTHING TO
LEGALLY CHALLENGE.
THEN ALL THE VOTES HAVE BEEN
COUNTED THAT THAT IS NOW
OVER.
BUT WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT
THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN
11:30 HEARING BETWEEN THE
TRUMP TEAM AND TEAM BENSON
THAT HAS NOW BEEN MOVED
ABOUT 30 MINUTES.
SO ONCE WE GET MUCH MORE ON
THAT HEARING AND INFORMATION
MOVING FORWARD WE’LL HAVE IT
FOR YOU IN LATER NEWSCASTS.
AGAIN, A PRETTY CALM SCENE
HERE BEHIND ME.
THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE
JUST MAKING THEIR VOICES
HEARD.
THEY WERE INSIDE YESTERDAY
AT THE T.C.F. CENTER THEY
HAVE NOW BEEN MOVED OUTSIDE.
POLICE ON STAND BY OUT OF
CAMERA SHOT JUST KEEPING AN
EYE ON THE SITUATION.
BUT SO FAR SO GOOD.
WE’RE LIVE HERE AT NOON,
