I gladuate with us. It is election day in the great country of the United States of America. But I'm just watching a report on Fox News. By the way, Pennsylvania voters cast balance and high stake rates that literally they sat in Arizona that we can we can believe that we'll have ninety nine percent of the vote counted by Friday. Today is Tuesday. All of these other states have the ability to go out there and actually count the votes, and we know the results tonight. Why can't these other states? Now it gets even more bizarre out there's Carry Lake coming on. I just texted her. We are working on bus. Okay, So now this just broke. This is the Washington Post, hardly the vast right wing con conspiracy network. Quote problems with voting machines and Arizona's Maricopa count a trigger unfounded fraud claims. What do you mean unfounded? You know? How long do how do we know anything right now to make any definitive conclusion. You don't know anyway. So if I don't know what verb you're talking about, Oh okay, Well Carry Lake is on the line. Okay, so she's out there saying today Carry Lake had to go to a different polling place than normal, because you know, and she says, by the way, there's got to be a coming to Jesus for elections here in Arizona. And she said that, you know, we're going to encourage people to stay in line. We're gonna vote, We're gonna stay in line. The people of Arizona would walk over hot coals and broken glass to vote today. And I know they can't stand in line for a couple of hours if they have to, but I know they'll stand in line for eight hours if they have to, and they will vote. And my message to the people of Arizona is, do not get out of line until you have cast your vote. Don't get out of line until you cast your vote. These things are looking very good for us now. They may be trying to slow a red tsunami, but it's coming and we're going to take back Arizona. And I know the people are out there voting. But anyway, she apparently had trouble out in Arizona. This is where the Washington Post article comes in. Now. Their headline is misleading problems with voting machines and Arizona's Maricopa County trigger unfounded fraud claims. Okay, that's not the point. This is the United States of America. And if we're having problems on voting day and you say it's unfounded claims, you have made a definitive statement that you don't know what's going on out there. That's the point. Nobody knows. I certainly don't know. All we know is that they are admitting. I'll read, verbatim from the Washington Post, problems with machines at some voting locations of Maricopa County, home to more than half of Arizona's voters, have become grisp for prominent right wing voices who deny the legitimacy of the twenty election, to claim without evidence that Tuesday's vote was also fraudulent. Why is it unreasonable to expect that when you go to vote that you're not going to have problems such as this? How is it all these other states are able to handle elections and give us results the day of Why are we being told that ninety nine percent of the vote will be counted by Friday and today is Tuesday? Anyway they're pointing out. Then I'll go back to the Washington Post. Tabulators at about twenty percent of the two hundred and twenty three voting locations in the county. We're experiencing problems, county officials told the Washington Post. Election officials were fixing the problems. Advise voters to either wait for tabulators to come back online or go to another voting location, or to drop ballots and secure slots, and ballots dropped in the slots are counted either at the end of the day or in the coming days. At the county's tabulation center in downtown Phoenix. The official stress that no one was being prevented from voting. No one's ballot has been mishandled, and they have said for weeks the ballot counting could take as many as twelve days. Why does it take twelve days out there anyway? Maricopa County Elections Department is their their blue check mark advice for voters. If a tabulator is not working at your site, you could still vote. You could you have the option to cast your ballot and place it into a secure ballot box. The poll workers on site at voting locations are best equipped to help you ensure that your ballots cast. Anyway, It says you know here we go. Why are we having problems? Why is this so complicated? Why is it not complicated in most other states? Why it's there's no reason for this with the United States of America. And I'll tell you where we need to be headed now. And also out in Arizona this we brought this issue up in recent days. You have Carrie lake Is going up against the Arizona Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, also the Democratic nominee for governor, and she has been asked and others have recommended previous ages out in Arizona that she recused herself because as the secretary of state currently running for governor currently there's an obvious conflict of interest, and she's been repeatedly asked to recuse herself and she's not. And hot this is not complicated. And I'll tell you where we need to end up with all of this. It's simple. Make election day a national holiday. Make it a national holiday. People that are older, infirmed, whatever they can offer reasons to get an absentee ballot. If you're going to be traveling, if you're going to be out of your state, out of town, you can't make it. You should be able to have an absentee ballot. You want to participate in democracy, everybody else, every able bodied man, woman, and child, should get a paper ballot on election day. Fill it out. Every state has the same system. It has to be adopted constitutionally by the states. And then at the end of the voting period, you have partisan observers watching the voting, partisan observers watching the vote count, and then you add up the ballots that night and you give a result. It's that simple. You need voter ID, you need signature verification, you need updated voter rolls, you need chain of custody controls, and partisan observers watching the count, and partisan observers watching the vote in every precinct, and then you will end your problem. And the good news is is everybody will have confidence in the results. And if you don't like it, that you lost, too bad. If you don't like it, if you want and you're happy, you know that you won. Honestly, I mean they're raising these questions. Now, let me give you another example, and this is in the great state of Pennsylvania. Now, The Washington Post also reports that election officials in key states are warning that results may not be known for days. Officials in a handful of closely contested states are warning that the winners of these tight races may not be known on election night. Will now being told ninety nine percent of the vote in Arizona is not going to be until Friday. In Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin, election officials there are now saying that in recent days they have preemptively called for patients, acknowledging that some of the factors have bogged down the process in twenty twenty remain unresolved two years later. In some cases, partisan disagreement blocked quote fixes, so they're blaming it on the legislatures. We'll see what happens there, all right. We have more information this from some people on the ground, I guess. In Maricopa County, the Center Squares reporting within an hour of the polls opening, poll watches were reporting issues with voting tabulators not working properly. In Maricopa County, election officials are able to read ballots, albeit at slow or pieces. We've got about twenty percent of the locations where there is an issue with the tabulator, where some people are having who have voted with them and try to run through the tabulator and they're not going through. Now that has caused apparently carry leg move from her voting site where she's supposed to go to another voting site. Why should any voter have to go through that hassle? You would think that we you know, we're pretty smart country. We send people to the moon. We did that in the sixties. To be clear, she said, I went to a more liberal area, say that, where there was no issue. And it seems to be that in other counties where there might be a larger Republican constituency than the issue is coming up more regularly. So every other state. So we're reading from the Washington Post, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin. We might not know the results in those states. Now. My question is if every other state can tabulated, why can't they? Why don't we know? Why do we have to wait till Friday or Thursday or next week or the week after this is this does not need to be complicated. This is pretty simple stuff. It's not like sending people to the moon. It's not as complicated as that, and doing it successfully and not only landing on the moon, but then coming home and landing safely. So we have in Pennsylvania now an issue that has evolved. John Fetterman, before the election even started, didn't like the fact that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled last week. We told you about this ruling that election officials in Pennsylvania can't count undated ballots because that would be in violation of the state's election regulations, which makes those ballots illegal. So the campaign late last night on eleventh hour of lawsuit to try and overturn the High court. John Fetterman's campaign filed the lawsuit and incomes Mark Elias might remember that name any way, against Pennsylvania election efficial those demanding that undated, misstated absentee ballots be counted in the mid terms. Now, whether you agree or disagree with the rules is irrelevant to me. The rules are what the rules are, and the rules the law is what the law is. And if we're going to have free and fair elections and we're going to have integrity, you got to follow the law. You got to follow your constitution, your state constitution. Anyway. The decision to sue the Pennsylvania Board of Elections comes nearly a week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the board to refrain from counting any absentee and mail in ballots received for today's general election that are undated or incorrectly dated envelopes. The court also ordered that all misdated, undated ballots be taken out of the mix preserved by the county Board of Elections because it was evenly divided on the issue of whether failing to count those ballots was a constitutional violation. Pennsylvania requires all voters who submit ballots to mail by mail to fill out date and sign a declaration on the envelope in which the ballot is placed. Oh so, let's suit do you know last minute? You know, when nobody's paying attention on the eve of the election. Now, in Pennsylvania, there was a report earlier in the week that thirty four hundred undated ballots had already men disqualified in Pennsylvania. That was on fake news CNN. Election official heavily democratic Philadelphia said Monday, thirty four hundred mail in ballots are at risk of being rejected because of incorrect information, missing dates, or missing secrecy envelopes. Now, if they really didn't like this provision of the law, they had time, ample time to go to the state legislature bring this up, they had ample time to go to the courts, but no, they wait to the last minute. So, despite the Supreme Court ruling to the contrary, Pennsylvania Democrats are now allowing voters to revise their undated ballots because in spite of that ruling last week Courton Pennsylvania ruling against the GOP. Now on a late Monday when it decided, election officials can continue to notify voters what they call a fix if if you need to with your ballot again. What are we doing here? Why is it impossible seemingly for people to do the simplest thing. And I'll tell you the only solution that I can think of at this point is make election Day and national holiday have provisions that people that are sick, elderly can't leave their homes that want to vote and participate. We make concessions to them that they'd be able to apply for an absentee ballot. People that are going to be out of town, they can apply for an absentee ballot, and then everybody else goes in votes on election day, paper ballots, and you have a winner at the end of the night. Is that really that much to ask from the United States? Of America. I don't think it's that much to make day great again. Yeah, make election Day. We can do it. We can make election Day grade again. As we roll along, it's Election Day in America. Toll free. It's eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn. If you want to be a part of the program, you know, look at this last minute. Mark Elias, Democratic lawyer, you know, by the way, himself involved in the Russia collusion hoax. Breitbar piece out today and who push for vote by mail in the twenty twenty election, gloating yesterday the Republicans were being destroyed in court cases over the twenty twenty election process. Elias primarily known for challenging election results in close races that Democrats win, in cases where Republicans appear to win on election day, He's been pushing the vote by mail and twenty twenty and active in several lawsuits to liberalize voting rules today. According to Breitbart again, now I have the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision. It's right in front of me, by the way, it's very short, not long, and it said that upon review of the briefs, etc. The petitioner's request for injunctive and declaratory relief is grant in part and denied in part. The Pennsylvania County Board of Elections are hereby order to refrain from counting any absentee mail in ballots received for the November twenty twenty two election general election that are contained and undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes. The Court is evenly divided on the issue of whether failing to count such ballots violates fifty two Usc. One zero one zero one A two B. And we hereby direct that the Pennsylvania County Board of Elections segregate and preserve any ballots contain and undated or incorrectly dated envelopes. You know what this all comes down to is Democrats very clearly the laws unambiguous, just like the state Constitution of Pennsylvania's unambiguous. Here, they want to change it to benefit them. They don't want people to have to meet the requirements and standards that their own legislature set out and their constitution set out. Keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day, Hannity is on twenty five to the top of the hour toll free. It's eight hundred and nine for one Shawn. If you want to be a part of the program. Ask yourself why it is the Democratic Party doesn't want voter ID. You need an ID for everything else in life. If you buy a beer, you need an ID. Buy a bottle of wine, you need an ID. By alcohol, you need an ID. I would imagine, Linda, probably all these weed shops that people support, you probably need an ID if you're gonna buy you know, we whatever store legal and whatever legalized state it's in, right, I mean, I would assume. So the good thing is you'll be so high you wouldn't know the difference anyway, so that you can say scooby doo. They'd say, great, here you go, here's your weed. I want to see your congressman or woman. You need a voter ID. Why did Democrats not want voter ID? Because the only reason I can think of is for nefarious purposes. Why is it that the state Supreme Court makes a ruling in Pennsylvania about the need to follow the law. All they ask for those ballots mail in ballots that are not dated, that are not signed be put aside, and the decision would be forthcoming later and last minute incomes. You know, the Democrats and Fetterman, the trust fund, bratt and a hoodie, and I want to challenge that law. Why didn't you challenge it in the weeks leading up to it? Why didn't you challenge it after the Supreme Court decision? Had plenty of time to challenge it. But of course now we're going to create chaos. Then you got this whole issue going on out in the state of Arizona. And I can't even believe that even the Washington Post is looking at this. You can tell they want to tie it to election denial. It's not about election denial, It's about, Okay, what can we get to the bottom of why this is happening to twenty percent of the voting locations out in Maricopa County by far the largest county as everybody recalls in the twenty twenty election. Is it really wrong that, you know, if we have forty plus of our states that are able to run elections smoothly with results given the night of the election, why do we have to be told from Pennsylvania, Arizona, other places, Well, we'll probably have ninety nine percent of the vote on Friday, today is Tuesday. If forty states can do it, forty plus states can do it day of Why can't they? Why are they? Why is that? Well? Why don't you want simple voter integrity measures? Why why are you against voter ID? Why are you against signature verification that in other words, you have a database people's signature and you affirm that you are who you say that you are. Here's my license, just like you need a license to buy a jewel pot or a pack of cigarettes. For crying out loud, I know I would urge everybody not to smoke. I want to buy a cigar. Okay, you need an ID. You can't be under the age of that. I think twenty one. You need it for ever. You want to see a congressman, want to see a senator? You need ID. It's that simple, you know. Why would you be against that? Why would you be against updating the voter rolls every election year? Somebody give me a reasonable, reasonable rational explanation for this. Why is it that Democrats so quickly charge that Republicans somehow nefariously want to disenfranchise votes. I don't want to disenfranchise votes. I want voter integrity. I want to have confidence in the results, and I'd like to know on election night I'm impatient by nature. But I don't think it's such a heavy lift because we have forty plus states that already do it the right way. Then they don't have these questions. You know, how how did we get to election day? And twenty percent of the tabulators I don't even know what a tabulator is, To be very honest with you aren't loading. Why is it that you have these last minute lawsuits to go against the Supreme Court decision that had happened, you know, days and days earlier. Why wouldn't you challenge it immediately? If you've really felt that this was unfair? You know, why is it it's okay in twenty twenty not to have partisan observers as the law requires in many states? Observed the vote counting up closed start to finish in twenty twenty because of quote COVID, they were what a thousand feet away, one hundred feet away, twenty feet away, six feet away. You can't see anything from six feet away. You can't see a ballot from six feet away. It's almost impossible. You know, why didn't you make accommodations so that the law would be followed instead of just not doing it? Not following it? If the state constitution in Pennsylvania allows for very limited instances in which people can vote by mail. How is it that rather than go through the more arduous process of a constitutional amendment, which would be the legal constitutional process to get there. Why do you think it's okay for the state legislature to just decide that they know better than the state constitution and circumvent the process which were to require a constitutional amendment. If you don't like it, fix it, follow the law, follow the constitution. Not that complicated, you know, it's it's what it does is unfortunately, it takes away people's confidence. And all of it is so easily. It's easily resolved. And if you're a state that is having problems, the best thing you can do is look at the states to do it easily that have results quickly and duplicate their models so that you know, people will have confidence in the results and they'll believe in the integrity of the election. And by the way, plenty of election deniers on the Democratic side, starting with Stacey abrams on down, it's just a matter. I don't want an advantage in terms of voting. I want the American people to get the free, fair election result, whatever it may be. If my candidate wins, great, my candidate loses, that's fine, We'll live to fight another day. But shouldn't we know the night of or the latest in the morning. Now, if an election, if we had day of voting, paper ballots with exceptions for those that are elderly hospitalized, whatever, people can vote apps and tee. People are going to be out of town, they can vote apps and tee. You have to make those considerations. But people they want to participate in elections, make it a national holiday, make them paper ballots. You have partisan observers at every single solitary location, so nothing nefarious happens. You have artisan observers watch the count so nothing nefarious happens. So nobody has any doubt in their mind that nobody could even raise a question about integrity, because there wouldn't be any questions about integrity. And then we count the votes once the polls closed, and if it's a close race, you count them again, and if it's really close, count them even a third time or a fourth time. Anyway, eight hundred nine one, Shaun is a number if you want to be a part of the program. I know a lot of you were wondering what are we going to expect today. I can't give you that answer. I can tell you that whatever state you're in, and I'm going to name every state that matters. You know, John Kennedy needs to be reelected, for example, in Louisiana, he's gonna win, but I'm just saying you need to vote for him. The same goes for Rampaul in Kentucky. And the same goes for you know, Chuck Grassley in Iowa and Marco Rubio in Florida. Don't take it for granted now when you look at the states that are going to influence the balance of power in the US Senate, they're all razor thin margins. If you're in Georgia, get out and vote per herschel Walker. If you're in North Carolina, we need you vote for Ted budd if you want if you want to stop the Biden agenda. Now let me just backtrack here. If you're happy with a forty one year high of inflation, then vote for the Democrat. If you're fine with record high gas prices and a shortage of diesel fuel, and and you're fine to pay at least thirty percent more maybe higher for your heating bills this year on top of the Biden inflation cost estimated out of seventy two hundred dollars per household. Then vote for the Democrats. If you're fine with four and a half million illegal immigrants entering this country facilitated by Joe Biden and the radical Democrats, vote for the Democrats. If you're okay with defund, dismantle and Nobel laws for the Democrats. If you're okay with you know, gender identity education, CRT education and putting less emphasis on reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers, and vote for the Democrats. But the States, if you look at Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire with General Don Bullduck, I hear that turnout in New Hampshire is through the roof. He absolutely can win. And if you look at you know, these these other races that we've been following doctor Oz and Pennsylvania, it's it's a one point race. Your vote's gonna matter in Pennsylvania, Arizona Blake Masters, it's gonna matter in Arizona, and it's gonna matter also in Nevada with Adam Laxalt. And then you can look at Tiffany Smiley, but then you can't forget jd Vance. We needed him to win in Ohio. I think he will, but we need him to win. We need Ron Johnson to win. Also, these are important races. I'd love to see Patty Murray lew tonight. That would be great in the state of Washington. Can't guarantee it, but boy, what a race. Tiffany Smiley is run. Lee Zeldon apparently is massive turnout in Long Island today, massive turnout in upstate New York today. Very low turnout, I'm told in the Bronx today, which is interesting. Manhattan might be a little bit outperforming for you know, woke Democrats are out there to protect hocol But that could be made up with the rest of the state. We'll see, you know, at the end of the night. It's absolutely a long shot. But if you look at these Senate races Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington State combined, less than one hundred thousand votes will determine the balance of power in the United States Senate. That's why your vote matters anyway. Joining us now now we have John McLaughlin's with us as well as Matt Towery our posters. Guys, what do you see and what are you hearing? Matt, what are you hearing? I know you're cute into Georgia. I hear some good things going on down there. Well, Hi, Sean, it's the turnout in Atlanta in particularly is very interesting because it looks like in the traditional Democratic precincts there's been very little activity. The turnout has been very light through the morning through midday, as possible that it could pick up in the late afternoon, but early voting, as I've said before on the show, simply was not at the level that normally Democrats need to get in order to have a resounding winner, even to get something into a runoff. So right now, with the turnout we have right now, I'm thinking herschel Walker may well be at the edge of being able to pull this off without a runoff. That's pretty fascinating. How do you see the from your advantage point? John McLaughlin anecdotally, what are you hearing? I'm here, By the way, I'm hearing the same thing from the Republican Senate Committee sources in Georgia that it's possible that they say they think Hershiko will without a runoff if he keeps if if the votes keeps coming, Republicans are coming out, Democrats are staying home, and I think Governor Chemps people I've gotten the second hand that Governor Chempis people think the same thing. So that's very good. But we're also seeing around the country but Democrats are certainly not hitting the marks that they had in terms of early voting and absentees in many states around the country, whether it's contested races Florida, the big trouble in Florida, but there's the same thing in like it appears that the Democrat turnout is down around the country and the Republicans are coming out, So an independence who will vote Republicans are coming out. So I'm seeing by the way, there's very good turnouts in Long Island for Les Elvin today. It's also vodes well for the congressional races upstate to the Republicans because we have probably the most contested races of any states since we won that registry in New York. So so the votes really, you know, your vote really matters if you if you're in New York and you want to vote for the Lease Elton for governor. If you want to vote for Republicans for Congress, you vote really matters, and it's going to make a difference. What's the result gonna be. I'll ask you both run through these races. Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona and Washington State. Matt, you go first, go quick. Georgia Walker wins without a runoff in all probability. North Carolina goes Republican, Arizona is going to be iffy. Pennsylvania I think oswins. Nevada is going to go a Republican. Washington State like we stay as Democrat. New Hampshire could be the upset of the day with the turnout that I'm hearing about. And if I miss anything, Sean, you can throw it back at me. Now that's good. John McLaughlin, by the way, I'm seeing the same things. I would be pretty I agree with most of what Matt just said here. But at the same time, you might get an outlier like lou Or Levy winning in Connecticut. Boccess that asked me winning for governor in Connecticut today, the running strong could turn out and it's the same thing the vote by mail in Oregon and Washington for the Republicans in Washington's apport for the Senate race seems to be that, you know, it's good for the Republican the actual makeup of the numbers that are coming in, but those are vote by mail states that it's important if they're going to be able to win that and say maybe in Colorado. So it's it's we're cautiously optimistic that if these trends holds, will have a good night today. And to John's point, our pole, our last whole Washington state had to race virtually even so if he's correct about that and we could have some real upsets tonight, that would be the best case scenario. Ever. Anecdotally, I've chucked in with a lot of people in New Hampshire. Turnout is very, very high, and most people believe that bull Duck is going to cross the finish line that I have spoken to, But that's anecdotal. Now to everybody, what matters. They had the heating oil delivered this week, Yeah, exactly, that's right, and it's only going to get higher, and the natural gas prices a minimum of a thirty percent increase and a chance that the entire grid goes down in all of New England, meaning nobody will be able to heat their homes this winter. This is insanity. I gotta roll. We'll have you guys back on later in the program. When we come back, Carry Lake's going to tell us what the hell's going on in Maricopa County. We'll get to that.

I gladuate with us. It is election day in the great country of the United States of America. But I'm just watching a report on Fox News. By the way, Pennsylvania voters cast balance and high stake rates that literally they sat in Arizona that we can we can believe that we'll have ninety nine percent of the vote counted by Friday. Today is Tuesday. All of these other states have the ability to go out there and actually count the votes, and we know the results tonight. Why can't these other states? Now it gets even more bizarre out there's Carry Lake coming on. I just texted her. We are working on bus. Okay, So now this just broke. This is the Washington Post, hardly the vast right wing con conspiracy network. Quote problems with voting machines and Arizona's Maricopa count a trigger unfounded fraud claims. What do you mean unfounded? You know? How long do how do we know anything right now to make any definitive conclusion. You don't know anyway. So if I don't know what verb you're talking about, Oh okay, Well Carry Lake is on the line. Okay, so she's out there saying today Carry Lake had to go to a different polling place than normal, because you know, and she says, by the way, there's got to be a coming to Jesus for elections here in Arizona. And she said that, you know, we're going to encourage people to stay in line. We're gonna vote, We're gonna stay in line. The people of Arizona would walk over hot coals and broken glass to vote today. And I know they can't stand in line for a couple of hours if they have to, but I know they'll stand in line for eight hours if they have to, and they will vote. And my message to the people of Arizona is, do not get out of line until you have cast your vote. Don't get out of line until you cast your vote. These things are looking very good for us now. They may be trying to slow a red tsunami, but it's coming and we're going to take back Arizona. And I know the people are out there voting. But anyway, she apparently had trouble out in Arizona. This is where the Washington Post article comes in. Now. Their headline is misleading problems with voting machines and Arizona's Maricopa County trigger unfounded fraud claims. Okay, that's not the point. This is the United States of America. And if we're having problems on voting day and you say it's unfounded claims, you have made a definitive statement that you don't know what's going on out there. That's the point. Nobody knows. I certainly don't know. All we know is that they are admitting. I'll read, verbatim from the Washington Post, problems with machines at some voting locations of Maricopa County, home to more than half of Arizona's voters, have become grisp for prominent right wing voices who deny the legitimacy of the twenty election, to claim without evidence that Tuesday's vote was also fraudulent.

How is it all these other states are able to handle elections and give us results the day of Why are we being told that ninety nine percent of the vote will be counted by Friday and today is Tuesday? Anyway they're pointing out. Then I'll go back to the Washington Post. Tabulators at about twenty percent of the two hundred and twenty three voting locations in the county. We're experiencing problems, county officials told the Washington Post. Election officials were fixing the problems. Advise voters to either wait for tabulators to come back online or go to another voting location, or to drop ballots and secure slots, and ballots dropped in the slots are counted either at the end of the day or in the coming days. At the county's tabulation center in downtown Phoenix. The official stress that no one was being prevented from voting. No one's ballot has been mishandled, and they have said for weeks the ballot counting could take as many as twelve days. Why does it take twelve days out there anyway? Maricopa County Elections Department is their their blue check mark advice for voters. If a tabulator is not working at your site, you could still vote. You could you have the option to cast your ballot and place it into a secure ballot box. The poll workers on site at voting locations are best equipped to help you ensure that your ballots cast. Anyway, It says you know here we go. Why are we having problems? Why is this so complicated? Why is it not complicated in most other states? Why it's there's no reason for this with the United States of America. And I'll tell you where we need to be headed now. And also out in Arizona this we brought this issue up in recent days. You have Carrie lake Is going up against the Arizona Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, also the Democratic nominee for governor, and she has been asked and others have recommended previous ages out in Arizona that she recused herself because as the secretary of state currently running for governor currently there's an obvious conflict of interest, and she's been repeatedly asked to recuse herself and she's not. And hot this is not complicated. And I'll tell you where we need to end up with all of this. It's simple. Make election day a national holiday. Make it a national holiday. People that are older, infirmed, whatever they can offer reasons to get an absentee ballot. If you're going to be traveling, if you're going to be out of your state, out of town, you can't make it. You should be able to have an absentee ballot. You want to participate in democracy, everybody else, every able bodied man, woman, and child, should get a paper ballot on election day. Fill it out.

It's that simple. You need voter ID, you need signature verification, you need updated voter rolls, you need chain of custody controls, and partisan observers watching the count, and partisan observers watching the vote in every precinct, and then you will end your problem. And the good news is is everybody will have confidence in the results. And if you don't like it, that you lost, too bad. If you don't like it, if you want and you're happy, you know that you won. Honestly, I mean they're raising these questions. Now, let me give you another example, and this is in the great state of Pennsylvania. Now, The Washington Post also reports that election officials in key states are warning that results may not be known for days. Officials in a handful of closely contested states are warning that the winners of these tight races may not be known on election night. Will now being told ninety nine percent of the vote in Arizona is not going to be until Friday. In Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin, election officials there are now saying that in recent days they have preemptively called for patients, acknowledging that some of the factors have bogged down the process in twenty twenty remain unresolved two years later. In some cases, partisan disagreement blocked quote fixes, so they're blaming it on the legislatures. We'll see what happens there, all right. We have more information this from some people on the ground, I guess. In Maricopa County, the Center Squares reporting within an hour of the polls opening, poll watches were reporting issues with voting tabulators not working properly. In Maricopa County, election officials are able to read ballots, albeit at slow or pieces. We've got about twenty percent of the locations where there is an issue with the tabulator, where some people are having who have voted with them and try to run through the tabulator and they're not going through. Now that has caused apparently carry leg move from her voting site where she's supposed to go to another voting site. Why should any voter have to go through that hassle? You would think that we you know, we're pretty smart country. We send people to the moon. We did that in the sixties. To be clear, she said, I went to a more liberal area, say that, where there was no issue. And it seems to be that in other counties where there might be a larger Republican constituency than the issue is coming up more regularly. So every other state. So we're reading from the Washington Post, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin. We might not know the results in those states. Now. My question is if every other state can tabulated, why can't they? Why don't we know? Why do we have to wait till Friday or Thursday or next week or the week after this is this does not need to be complicated. This is pretty simple stuff. It's not like sending people to the moon. It's not as complicated as that, and doing it successfully and not only landing on the moon, but then coming home and landing safely. So we have in Pennsylvania now an issue that has evolved. John Fetterman, before the election even started, didn't like the fact that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled last week. We told you about this ruling that election officials in Pennsylvania can't count undated ballots because that would be in violation of the state's election regulations, which makes those ballots illegal. So the campaign late last night on eleventh hour of lawsuit to try and overturn the High court. John Fetterman's campaign filed the lawsuit and incomes Mark Elias might remember that name any way, against Pennsylvania election efficial those demanding that undated, misstated absentee ballots be counted in the mid terms. Now, whether you agree or disagree with the rules is irrelevant to me. The rules are what the rules are, and the rules the law is what the law is. And if we're going to have free and fair elections and we're going to have integrity, you got to follow the law. You got to follow your constitution, your state constitution. Anyway. The decision to sue the Pennsylvania Board of Elections comes nearly a week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the board to refrain from counting any absentee and mail in ballots received for today's general election that are undated or incorrectly dated envelopes. The court also ordered that all misdated, undated ballots be taken out of the mix preserved by the county Board of Elections because it was evenly divided on the issue of whether failing to count those ballots was a constitutional violation. Pennsylvania requires all voters who submit ballots to mail by mail to fill out date and sign a declaration on the envelope in which the ballot is placed. Oh so, let's suit do you know last minute? You know, when nobody's paying attention on the eve of the election. Now, in Pennsylvania, there was a report earlier in the week that thirty four hundred undated ballots had already men disqualified in Pennsylvania. That was on fake news CNN. Election official heavily democratic Philadelphia said Monday, thirty four hundred mail in ballots are at risk of being rejected because of incorrect information, missing dates, or missing secrecy envelopes. Now, if they really didn't like this provision of the law, they had time, ample time to go to the state legislature bring this up, they had ample time to go to the courts, but no, they wait to the last minute. So, despite the Supreme Court ruling to the contrary, Pennsylvania Democrats are now allowing voters to revise their undated ballots because in spite of that ruling last week Courton Pennsylvania ruling against the GOP. Now on a late Monday when it decided, election officials can continue to notify voters what they call a fix if if you need to with your ballot again. What are we doing here? Why is it impossible seemingly for people to do the simplest thing. And I'll tell you the only solution that I can think of at this point is make election Day and national holiday have provisions that people that are sick, elderly can't leave their homes that want to vote and participate. We make concessions to them that they'd be able to apply for an absentee ballot. People that are going to be out of town, they can apply for an absentee ballot, and then everybody else goes in votes on election day, paper ballots, and you have a winner at the end of the night. Is that really that much to ask from the United States? Of America. I don't think it's that much to make day great again. Yeah, make election Day. We can do it. We can make election Day grade again. As we roll along, it's Election Day in America. Toll free. It's eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn. If you want to be a part of the program, you know, look at this last minute. Mark Elias, Democratic lawyer, you know, by the way, himself involved in the Russia collusion hoax. Breitbar piece out today and who push for vote by mail in the twenty twenty election, gloating yesterday the Republicans were being destroyed in court cases over the twenty twenty election process. Elias primarily known for challenging election results in close races that Democrats win, in cases where Republicans appear to win on election day, He's been pushing the vote by mail and twenty twenty and active in several lawsuits to liberalize voting rules today. According to Breitbart again, now I have the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision. It's right in front of me, by the way, it's very short, not long, and it said that upon review of the briefs, etc. The petitioner's request for injunctive and declaratory relief is grant in part and denied in part. The Pennsylvania County Board of Elections are hereby order to refrain from counting any absentee mail in ballots received for the November twenty twenty two election general election that are contained and undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes. The Court is evenly divided on the issue of whether failing to count such ballots violates fifty two Usc. One zero one zero one A two B. And we hereby direct that the Pennsylvania County Board of Elections segregate and preserve any ballots contain and undated or incorrectly dated envelopes. You know what this all comes down to is Democrats very clearly the laws unambiguous, just like the state Constitution of Pennsylvania's unambiguous. Here, they want to change it to benefit them. They don't want people to have to meet the requirements and standards that their own legislature set out and their constitution set out. Keeping Uncle Sam accountable to you every day, Hannity is on twenty five to the top of the hour toll free. It's eight hundred and nine for one Shawn. If you want to be a part of the program. Ask yourself why it is the Democratic Party doesn't want voter ID. You need an ID for everything else in life. If you buy a beer, you need an ID. Buy a bottle of wine, you need an ID. By alcohol, you need an ID. I would imagine, Linda, probably all these weed shops that people support, you probably need an ID if you're gonna buy you know, we whatever store legal and whatever legalized state it's in, right, I mean, I would assume. So the good thing is you'll be so high you wouldn't know the difference anyway, so that you can say scooby doo. They'd say, great, here you go, here's your weed. I want to see your congressman or woman. You need a voter ID. Why did Democrats not want voter ID? Because the only reason I can think of is for nefarious purposes. Why is it that the state Supreme Court makes a ruling in Pennsylvania about the need to follow the law. All they ask for those ballots mail in ballots that are not dated, that are not signed be put aside, and the decision would be forthcoming later and last minute incomes. You know, the Democrats and Fetterman, the trust fund, bratt and a hoodie, and I want to challenge that law. Why didn't you challenge it in the weeks leading up to it? Why didn't you challenge it after the Supreme Court decision? Had plenty of time to challenge it. But of course now we're going to create chaos. Then you got this whole issue going on out in the state of Arizona. And I can't even believe that even the Washington Post is looking at this. You can tell they want to tie it to election denial. It's not about election denial, It's about, Okay, what can we get to the bottom of why this is happening to twenty percent of the voting locations out in Maricopa County by far the largest county as everybody recalls in the twenty twenty election. Is it really wrong that, you know, if we have forty plus of our states that are able to run elections smoothly with results given the night of the election, why do we have to be told from Pennsylvania, Arizona, other places, Well, we'll probably have ninety nine percent of the vote on Friday, today is Tuesday. If forty states can do it, forty plus states can do it day of Why can't they? Why are they? Why is that? Well? Why don't you want simple voter integrity measures? Why why are you against voter ID? Why are you against signature verification that in other words, you have a database people's signature and you affirm that you are who you say that you are. Here's my license, just like you need a license to buy a jewel pot or a pack of cigarettes. For crying out loud, I know I would urge everybody not to smoke. I want to buy a cigar. Okay, you need an ID. You can't be under the age of that. I think twenty one. You need it for ever. You want to see a congressman, want to see a senator? You need ID. It's that simple, you know. Why would you be against that? Why would you be against updating the voter rolls every election year? Somebody give me a reasonable, reasonable rational explanation for this. Why is it that Democrats so quickly charge that Republicans somehow nefariously want to disenfranchise votes. I don't want to disenfranchise votes. I want voter integrity. I want to have confidence in the results, and I'd like to know on election night I'm impatient by nature. But I don't think it's such a heavy lift because we have forty plus states that already do it the right way. Then they don't have these questions. You know, how how did we get to election day? And twenty percent of the tabulators I don't even know what a tabulator is, To be very honest with you aren't loading. Why is it that you have these last minute lawsuits to go against the Supreme Court decision that had happened, you know, days and days earlier. Why wouldn't you challenge it immediately? If you've really felt that this was unfair? You know, why is it it's okay in twenty twenty not to have partisan observers as the law requires in many states? Observed the vote counting up closed start to finish in twenty twenty because of quote COVID, they were what a thousand feet away, one hundred feet away, twenty feet away, six feet away. You can't see anything from six feet away. You can't see a ballot from six feet away. It's almost impossible. You know, why didn't you make accommodations so that the law would be followed instead of just not doing it? Not following it? If the state constitution in Pennsylvania allows for very limited instances in which people can vote by mail. How is it that rather than go through the more arduous process of a constitutional amendment, which would be the legal constitutional process to get there. Why do you think it's okay for the state legislature to just decide that they know better than the state constitution and circumvent the process which were to require a constitutional amendment. If you don't like it, fix it, follow the law, follow the constitution. Not that complicated, you know, it's it's what it does is unfortunately, it takes away people's confidence. And all of it is so easily. It's easily resolved. And if you're a state that is having problems, the best thing you can do is look at the states to do it easily that have results quickly and duplicate their models so that you know, people will have confidence in the results and they'll believe in the integrity of the election. And by the way, plenty of election deniers on the Democratic side, starting with Stacey abrams on down, it's just a matter. I don't want an advantage in terms of voting. I want the American people to get the free, fair election result, whatever it may be. If my candidate wins, great, my candidate loses, that's fine, We'll live to fight another day. But shouldn't we know the night of or the latest in the morning. Now, if an election, if we had day of voting, paper ballots with exceptions for those that are elderly hospitalized, whatever, people can vote apps and tee. People are going to be out of town, they can vote apps and tee. You have to make those considerations. But people they want to participate in elections, make it a national holiday, make them paper ballots. You have partisan observers at every single solitary location, so nothing nefarious happens. You have artisan observers watch the count so nothing nefarious happens. So nobody has any doubt in their mind that nobody could even raise a question about integrity, because there wouldn't be any questions about integrity. And then we count the votes once the polls closed, and if it's a close race, you count them again, and if it's really close, count them even a third time or a fourth time. Anyway, eight hundred nine one, Shaun is a number if you want to be a part of the program. I know a lot of you were wondering what are we going to expect today. I can't give you that answer. I can tell you that whatever state you're in, and I'm going to name every state that matters. You know, John Kennedy needs to be reelected, for example, in Louisiana, he's gonna win, but I'm just saying you need to vote for him. The same goes for Rampaul in Kentucky. And the same goes for you know, Chuck Grassley in Iowa and Marco Rubio in Florida. Don't take it for granted now when you look at the states that are going to influence the balance of power in the US Senate, they're all razor thin margins. If you're in Georgia, get out and vote per herschel Walker. If you're in North Carolina, we need you vote for Ted budd if you want if you want to stop the Biden agenda. Now let me just backtrack here. If you're happy with a forty one year high of inflation, then vote for the Democrat. If you're fine with record high gas prices and a shortage of diesel fuel, and and you're fine to pay at least thirty percent more maybe higher for your heating bills this year on top of the Biden inflation cost estimated out of seventy two hundred dollars per household. Then vote for the Democrats. If you're fine with four and a half million illegal immigrants entering this country facilitated by Joe Biden and the radical Democrats, vote for the Democrats. If you're okay with defund, dismantle and Nobel laws for the Democrats. If you're okay with you know, gender identity education, CRT education and putting less emphasis on reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers, and vote for the Democrats. But the States, if you look at Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire with General Don Bullduck, I hear that turnout in New Hampshire is through the roof. He absolutely can win. And if you look at you know, these these other races that we've been following doctor Oz and Pennsylvania, it's it's a one point race. Your vote's gonna matter in Pennsylvania, Arizona Blake Masters, it's gonna matter in Arizona, and it's gonna matter also in Nevada with Adam Laxalt. And then you can look at Tiffany Smiley, but then you can't forget jd Vance. We needed him to win in Ohio. I think he will, but we need him to win. We need Ron Johnson to win. Also, these are important races. I'd love to see Patty Murray lew tonight. That would be great in the state of Washington. Can't guarantee it, but boy, what a race. Tiffany Smiley is run. Lee Zeldon apparently is massive turnout in Long Island today, massive turnout in upstate New York today. Very low turnout, I'm told in the Bronx today, which is interesting. Manhattan might be a little bit outperforming for you know, woke Democrats are out there to protect hocol But that could be made up with the rest of the state. We'll see, you know, at the end of the night. It's absolutely a long shot. But if you look at these Senate races Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington State combined, less than one hundred thousand votes will determine the balance of power in the United States Senate. That's why your vote matters anyway. Joining us now now we have John McLaughlin's with us as well as Matt Towery our posters. Guys, what do you see and what are you hearing? Matt, what are you hearing? I know you're cute into Georgia. I hear some good things going on down there. Well, Hi, Sean, it's the turnout in Atlanta in particularly is very interesting because it looks like in the traditional Democratic precincts there's been very little activity. The turnout has been very light through the morning through midday, as possible that it could pick up in the late afternoon, but early voting, as I've said before on the show, simply was not at the level that normally Democrats need to get in order to have a resounding winner, even to get something into a runoff. So right now, with the turnout we have right now, I'm thinking herschel Walker may well be at the edge of being able to pull this off without a runoff. That's pretty fascinating. How do you see the from your advantage point? John McLaughlin anecdotally, what are you hearing? I'm here, By the way, I'm hearing the same thing from the Republican Senate Committee sources in Georgia that it's possible that they say they think Hershiko will without a runoff if he keeps if if the votes keeps coming, Republicans are coming out, Democrats are staying home, and I think Governor Chemps people I've gotten the second hand that Governor Chempis people think the same thing. So that's very good. But we're also seeing around the country but Democrats are certainly not hitting the marks that they had in terms of early voting and absentees in many states around the country, whether it's contested races Florida, the big trouble in Florida, but there's the same thing in like it appears that the Democrat turnout is down around the country and the Republicans are coming out, So an independence who will vote Republicans are coming out. So I'm seeing by the way, there's very good turnouts in Long Island for Les Elvin today. It's also vodes well for the congressional races upstate to the Republicans because we have probably the most contested races of any states since we won that registry in New York. So so the votes really, you know, your vote really matters if you if you're in New York and you want to vote for the Lease Elton for governor. If you want to vote for Republicans for Congress, you vote really matters, and it's going to make a difference. What's the result gonna be. I'll ask you both run through these races. Georgia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona and Washington State. Matt, you go first, go quick. Georgia Walker wins without a runoff in all probability. North Carolina goes Republican, Arizona is going to be iffy. Pennsylvania I think oswins. Nevada is going to go a Republican. Washington State like we stay as Democrat. New Hampshire could be the upset of the day with the turnout that I'm hearing about. And if I miss anything, Sean, you can throw it back at me. Now that's good. John McLaughlin, by the way, I'm seeing the same things. I would be pretty I agree with most of what Matt just said here. But at the same time, you might get an outlier like lou Or Levy winning in Connecticut. Boccess that asked me winning for governor in Connecticut today, the running strong could turn out and it's the same thing the vote by mail in Oregon and Washington for the Republicans in Washington's apport for the Senate race seems to be that, you know, it's good for the Republican the actual makeup of the numbers that are coming in, but those are vote by mail states that it's important if they're going to be able to win that and say maybe in Colorado. So it's it's we're cautiously optimistic that if these trends holds, will have a good night today. And to John's point, our pole, our last whole Washington state had to race virtually even so if he's correct about that and we could have some real upsets tonight, that would be the best case scenario. Ever. Anecdotally, I've chucked in with a lot of people in New Hampshire. Turnout is very, very high, and most people believe that bull Duck is going to cross the finish line that I have spoken to, But that's anecdotal. Now to everybody, what matters. They had the heating oil delivered this week, Yeah, exactly, that's right, and it's only going to get higher, and the natural gas prices a minimum of a thirty percent increase and a chance that the entire grid goes down in all of New England, meaning nobody will be able to heat their homes this winter. This is insanity. I gotta roll. We'll have you guys back on later in the program. When we come back, Carry Lake's going to tell us what the hell's going on in Maricopa County. We'll get to that.
