of course we know how important nevada is. we're waiting on nevada and arizona. and if nevada and arizona go to biden, arizona, where trump was ahead for a while, it obviously would be the end of the trump campaign effort. barring any legal challenges. nbc's blayne alexander is in georgia, of course a critical state there, where more votes came in just a few minutes ago. blayne, what can you tell us? >> reporter: i just want to put into context for you, andrea, how close this thing is. as of right now our latest nbc numbers show that the difference between trump's lead over biden is only about 14,000 votes. that's 14,765, to be specific. so very, very razor thin margin. but we learned from state officials there are about 60,000, that's six zero thousand ballots left statewide that are left to be counted. that shows you right there how critical, how crucial every single vote is and how quickly things can turn based on what those ballots show when they come in. another thing we're focusing on very closely is where the ballots are coming from. we're right here in fu

voted in nevada. how hard would it have been to simply go through the available to delete all those who had moved away from the voter files before these ballots mailed? ? tampering, many have witnessed wrongdoing. these are brave whistleblowers. these folks worked in the accounting centers, were involved in the tallying, and fox news recently reported that one of them -- one of these , andleblowers had to quit i'm just going to use the male pronoun, had to quit his job after he worked on about 14,000 ballots. when he would raise objections to clearly improper ballots, he was told by his supervisor, put this through the process and count them anyway. this whistleblower believes there were other such employees who were also uncomfortable with the fact that when they could see clearly objectionable ballots, they were still forced to put them in the tally. can never be taken back out of that tally. there's no way to remedy ballots that were put in an improper way. who wed whistleblower have not talked abo

in the nevada supreme court, chief justice christina pickering was reelected. congratulations, chief justice. >> thank you. for thedition, one seat court of appeals judge was on the ballot. bonnie fuller was elected with 42.17% of the vote. in the legislative races, there are three newly elected state senators and 14 newly elected assembly persons. chief justice pickering, do your colleagues have any comments? >> i do not, but i invite any of my colleagues who wish to speak to do so. does anyone in carson city wish to speak? thank you. >> this is justice -- i would to commend the secretary of state and her office for the extraordinary work they did under very difficult circumstances. they are to be congratulated for carrying it out. an extraordinarily successful election. the turnout is incredible. >> thank you, justice. greatly appreciate those comments. >> chief, i also thank the secretary of state through an incredibly trying election to comply with new mandates from legislature and have it run as smooth as it is incredible. congratulations to you and the re

in nevada the president was really railing against nevada earlier late-summer when the decision was made to send out mass mail in ballots to everybody who was on the voter rolls. the president going to federal court to ensure that no illegal ballots are counted. the difference between the president and biden is around 12,000 votes right now. the campaign insists that there are as many as 10,000 votes cast by people who do not meet the 30 day residency requirement there, there was a press conference with ric grenell in the 11:00 hour this morning, here's what he said about that. >> we are filing the federal lawsuit to protect legal voters. it is unacceptable in this country to have illegal votes counted. and that is what's happening in the state of nevada. >> this is the second lawsuit that's been filed in the state of nevada like pennsylvania, like michigan they also filed suit to stop counting the votes unless meaningful access was granted to the areas where there are both being counted. they also filed a suit in georgia to sequester any ballots that came in after the bow deadline which

, a democratic area in nevada and they're mail ballots. mainly mail ballots. the expectation here, widen is leading statewide in nevada by about 11,000. the expectation is this release coming up in less than an hour is probably going to move him significantly ahead in nevada and make the prospects of him winning that state very much within reach for him. arizona plus nevada for biden, if that were to happen, that would be 270 for him without anything else happening in pennsylvania, which weave all been talking about. so again, multiple pathways here. here is your southwest, desert, casino pathway. >> steve, by the way, we can tell folks that that update from clark county is going to happen at noon eastern, noon eastern we expect to get an update on the votes you just mentioned in nevada. clark county, home to las vegas, the bulk of the population in nevada is in clark county. steve, recount rules in arizona. if things hold where they are right now, would this margin in arizona, would it be thin enough to trigger a recount there or would it

but in nevada, i guess it's ok. now keep in mind that native americans vote pretty consistently for the democratic party. it looks ear like a state agency, was involved in a very targeted campaign to encourage vote participation from a constituency that leans a certain way. nothing reeks of clay and transparent elections than handing out valuable freebies and prizes to encourage certain people to vote in america. at least, you know, we, we don't think that there would be any corruption in our government. and so you would assume that this would be nonparty, non-state, actor or organization that was just corrupt and doing something wrong. so when we see things like in nevada, where you have the state authorities, you have a government authority participating in this scheme participating in these things that interfere with our election. that's what's been most troubling, i think for the american population, of course, and in other countries, people are used to governments that might be corrupt and state officials that

canvasat, the 2020 vote for the nevada general election is completed. thank you very much to everyone again. we will be in recess. if i might -- >> i want to thank all of you for helping us out today in doing this. i notify the official campus of the 2020 general election be adjourned in the governor's office be notified to prepare the certificates of election. i want to thank you for your time today. thank you very much and for your comments. >> you're welcome and thank you again. >> take it easy. >> happy thanksgiving. >> be safe. >> you don't have those numbers? >> approximately 70,000. the nevada state supreme court just wrapped up'its meeting certifying the states election results. if you missed the meeting, watch it tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span or anytime online at c-span.org. host: billy shore

what's going on in nevada. there will be a press conference that rick grinnell will be hosting at 11:30. they will announce a lawsuit there. not stopping the county, it is to insure that only legal votes are counted and that illegal votes are not counted. the trump campaign insists that there are as many as maybe even more than 10,000 votes that were cast by people who do no longer live in the state of nevada. they also insist that ballots were cast under the names of people who are dead. the suit is being filed in district court which may make a speedier path to the supreme court. the supreme court is under no obligation as they were to pennsylvania to take up the case. now in pennsylvania an appellate court ordered that trump campaign election observers can get closer than they were in the past couple days to people counting the votes so the trump election observers can get a closer look whether the ballots look appropriate. corey lewandowski and former attorney general of florida pam bondi held a news confer

nevada for biden. so it does appear that this state is inching towards democrat that it state is inching towards democrat thatitis state is inching towards democrat that it is very difficult to call this even now. yeah, we also heard james from the nevada official saying that 60,000 provisional ballots were also awaiting review and an additional there remain 63,000 mail—in ballots to be counted so that really gives a sense of where we have out there. i am not sure if you are aware of what he also said regarding the fact that he also said regarding the fact that he fears some of the staff are being threatened or under a loss of stress by demonstrators there. can you elaborate on that for us? he said that yesterday as well. basically what happens is as the day develops here in clark county, which is in las vegas, more and is about to filtering in the atmosphere does change slightly so by about 6p and here this place is full of trump supporters and that can be very intimidating for workers here and reme

nevada soon more information. votes coming in from arizona and pennsylvania where hundreds of thousands of ballots still remain. the big question, of course, is will this be enough as these numbers come in to putt biden ahead over the 270 mark, obviously the biden margin is slim and shrinking, but we expect an update on that in the next few hours. >> the white house we'll be hearing live from our correspondents and expect to hear from a number of key news makers. we'll know perhaps from georgia momentarily. i want to show you how razor thin the margins are in the remaining key states. what a race this has been. nevada joe biden is ahead but only by 7,647. that's really unchanged. that's the numbers we saw yesterday as well. nevada, unclear exactly when we'll get new numbers from them. yesterday they indicated that, as a state, they would report numbers at 7:00 p.m. on each successive night. that is a slim lead for joe biden. georgia president trump is ahead but that lead is shrinking, ahead by 18,586 votes. we're

would nevada? well, the u.s. state of georgia has confirmed by out, but that hasn't stopped some supporters. it keeping up the pressure a major rally is now underway in the city of atlanta. people took to the streets off to the state, sought to fight biden's, where with a margin of less than 13000 on us are on display with the message. you can see the stop, the steel and election integrity matters. donald trump's legal team claims pilots in the state right though its focus has now moved to other states. joe biden has dismissed the truck team's efforts calling the mere response of all when he's repeatedly called for unity. i mean, and to partisan. but there are signs that not all of his supporters all quite on board with that message. no seriously. how do you deprogram 75000000 people? where do you start, fox, facebook. this is not your standard partisan policy disagreement. this is a conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality and basic decency . ready ready 82 years ago crystal nothing happen

in nevada, biden is clinging to a lead. and we are looking to hear from officials there in the pivotal area of clark county. that could come any moment. we'll bring it to you when that happens. the lion's share of nevada's outstanding vote will come from clark county. we do know that. in the last hour, more votes began trickling in. biden adding slightly to the lead you see there. if biden holds nevada and wins the six electoral votes he'd be 11 electoral votes from 270 which brings us to arizona which has, you see there at the top of your screen, exactly 11 electoral votes. so right now, biden also clinging to a small lead. president trump chipping away at that gap with the new votes coming in. to be clear, that's one path, and it would be a perfect 270. biden does not need nevada or arizona if he goes on to win pennsylvania. democrats are very confident these remaining ballots, primarily from the generally democratic philadelphia area, they believe will put biden over the top. also a live look at mail-in ballots being pro

vamos a decir que joe biden gana nevada, ya llegarÍa a los 270. ¿quÉ pasarÍa si joe biden de todas estas opciones gana yo ya? con georgia tambiÉn llegarÍa a los 270. ¿quÉ pasarÍa con la joya de la corona? esos 20 votos del colegio electoral si van para joe biden, aquÍ lo estamos viendo, pasarÍa lo siguiente, 284. biden para llegar a ser presidente en los prÓximos cuatro aÑos, sÓlo le hace falta ganar en uno de estos cuatro estados en que las contiendas estÁn muy reÑidas. carolina: increÍble explicaciÓn, es increÍble cÓmo pesar de que pasan los minutos, todavÍa no sabemos quiÉn es el presidente de los estados unidos. es importante que cada voto sea contado. el presidente donald trump arremete en twitter con el conteo de votos en estados cruciales, pide detenerlo, escribiÓ que todos los estados recientemente reclamados por joe biden serÁn desafiados recientemente por fraude electoral. borja: tambiÉn continÚa diciendo "muchas pruebas, sÓlo consulte los medios, ganaremos, amÉrica primero". joe biden, con poco mÁs de calma e

arizona and nevada, just by the ba rest arizona and nevada, just by the barest minimum, get him to 270. those are the points he needs to win the presidency and that is why people like me are standing outside car parks all day speculating about what is happening in a massive warehouse only does it. u nfortu nately, warehouse only does it. unfortunately, it means people like me james, have unfortunately, it means people like mejames, have to ask you annoying questions like what kind of timeframe, when will we know? so the registrar he has said that he would rather be right than fast. he said, look, we will give you more updates at 10am tomorrow, 6pm gmt. but at 10am tomorrow, 6pm gmt. but at the moment, we are only getting results back in the tens, fifteens, 15 thousands. we may not get a result back to the point where we can predict something who has won the state until sunday, maybe going into next week. i really wouldn't expect suddenly to wake up tomorrow morning and see that nevada has been declared. this will be a long process. inc you james. —— thank you. the gap between donal

en nevada el recuento no es automÁtico. los candidatos deben solicitarlo despuÉs de tres dÍas del conteo oficial. en georgia el recuento tampoco es automÁtico, las autoridades deben solicitarlo, o los candidatos. el margen debe ser menos o igual al 0,5%. en michigan el recuentos automÁticos y la diferencia entre ambos candidatos son de 2000 votos menos. los candidatos pueden pedir un recuento si sospechan de errores o fraude. ¿pero quienes terminan por el recuento? todo depende del estado. los recuentos automÁticos lo termina pagando el estado o el condado. si un candidato pide un recuento, ellos terminarÍan pagando la factura que podÍa ser millones de dÓlares. ilia: gracias. jorge: ricardo: bienvenida a tu nueva casa. este será nuestro nidito de amor. monserrat: ay, mi amor, está increíble. vas a ver que poco a poco le voy a ir poniendo el toque hogareño.

so it's still very much up in the air and nevada. my very much up in the air and nevada. my goodness, all right, james, thank you very much indeed. 0fficials my goodness, all right, james, thank you very much indeed. officials in nevada raising the prospect they may not come back to us with a firm result until next week. before even then, the fight over this election is heading into the courts— lots of them. donald trump is threatening to file law suits in some states that are being projected forjoe biden, and others where we have no projection. these lawsuits are trying to stop the counting of votes on the grounds of voter fraud — but so far we've seen no evidence that widespread fraud is happening. nevada is the latest to be sued. this is the co—chair of the trump campaign there. there are examples of thousands of ballots being mailed across this valley in trash cans, in apartment buildings, people getting as many as 18 ballots to their homes. we knew these rules were unclean, and we were told that signatures would save us from all fraud, but to date, we have stil

updating everybody on the progress and nevada. some critical questions from reporters there about lawsuits that have been filed. a judge has been seated in the republican lawyer lawsuit in las vegas, in nevada rather. so we will hear more about that. in the last few minutes while gloria was talking, the democratic national committee has asked to intervene in that nevada lawsuit put forth by the g.o.p. attorneys on behalf of the trump campaign. and the dnc is claiming that there are two ways with the legal claim, the republicans, right with procedural proficiencies and marriage. so this is going back and forth legally in nevada. one of the questions had to do with why the count is happening so slowly in that state? and you heard joe gloria explaining administrative details about what they are doing. they've got 63,262 votes left to count where they hope to have some numbers on that. he said the precincts were looking at 30,000 today. and before 4:00 p.m. i believe local time but it might have been eastern. i'm assuming local time t

thank you. >> the courts in nevada -- >> can you wait? >> you got it. >> the reality is, is that transparency is not political. ballots are not automatically legal votes until they are checked. we are not being allowed to check. a machine recklessly threw ballots into the mail, and now we cannot check. whether or not there are nonresidents, which we have evidence, publicly available evidence, that you all in the media should be also looking at, publicly available information that nonresidents have voted. there is a 30-day residency requirement in the state of nevada. if you have not been in the state for 30 days, it is illegal to vote. reporters have a responsibility. the fact is we are filing this federal lawsuit to protect legal voters. it is unacceptable in this country to have illegal votes counted. and that is what is happening in the state of nevada. we have asked clark county for answers. they have no answers. they continue to count illegal votes. that is unacceptable. and it is giving legal people a sense that the system is corrup

six electoral votes are of her grabbing nevada. joe biden leads the electoral college vote count 264-216. 270 are needed to win electoral college. the trump campaign has filed lawsuits to stop vote county court to invalidate votes. cbs news tweeted out a short time ago the trump campaign's lawsuit in georgia has been dismissed. the judge writes the court found no evidence of ballots challenged received after 7:00 p.m. on election day. for more updates to come on c-span. now more of your reaction to the election so far on today's washington journal. was 50.3 percent. district, the 48 michael field up over democrat harley rouda. there is 94% reporting in that district. if republicans are going to make up ground, they also need to hold onto the seats they do have in california. is in a tight race himself against democrat chrissy smith in the 25th district. kristy smith up with 77% reporting. district, is the 44th six term congressman todd mcclintock, the republican with the lead. , b9% over his challenger rynne kennedy. the 50th congr

leading in nevada. if we get to the end of the day, joe biden holds those two states he is knocking on the door 1600 pennsylvania avenue. >> we will watch arizona and nevada closely. we just projected michigan going to biden. >> it's been quite a big day, wolf, when it comes to projections from cnn and the fact that we have now projected that former vice president joe biden will win both wisconsin and michigan. the numbers are certainly going in biden's direction. we are still waiting to hear from a number of states including nevada, arizona, pennsylvania, as well as ones where we think trump is favored decisively like north carolina and alaska. georgia is still a question mark. it's very -- it's a big moment and i think one of the things that has to happen is that republicans on capitol hill need to figure out how they are going to react if the race ultimately is called for joe biden which we have not gotten there. fountain race is called for joe biden, donald trump has made it very clear that he is no

to nevada we go. in nevada you can see vice president biden with a slight lead. still too close to call. the difference in nevada, just 7,647 votes. we expect an update on vote totals in nevada in just a few hours. we should get a better sense of what's happening there. and in this hour, intensifying focus on pennsylvania. some new numbers out of philadelphia. still too close to call, obviously, with 91% of the precincts reporting. the difference, about 135,000 votes between president trump and vice president biden. president trump has seen that lead of his in the keystone state dwindle by several hundred thousand votes over the past 24 hours. once again, our reporters are spread out from the big board to the battleground states getting literally minute by minute updates on the state of the race. we start with steve kornacki at the big board once again. steve, take us through where things stand at this hour. the aforementioned votes out of fulton county, have those votes dropped yet? >> no. i think we're still waiting. let's check in on georgia. 18,100. that's do

we could get a final number on nevada. nevada is increasingly becoming important state with six electoral votes, if you buy the math where we are right now for joe biden that would do it for him. i say that would do it for him pending all the protests and legal challenges. let's go first i believe to griff jenkins, guys, first? griff at wilmington, delaware with how the former vice president is acting to all the fast moving developments. griff. reporter: good afternoon to you, former vice president biden standing by waiting as we are updated numbers out of the state of nevada as president trump's campaign takes the legal fight to the silver state. just minutes ago ric grenell, the former director of national intelligence and long with nevada former attorney general adam laxalt. he made a big announcement about the lawsuit. watch. >> the fact we are filing this federal lawsuit to protect legal voters. it is unacceptable in this country to have illegal votes counted and that is what's happening in the state of nevada. report

nevada officials with evidence of such a list. they've not done so so far. in wilmington a confident joe biden urging patients. >> democracy sometimes messy, it is sometimes requires patience as well. we have no doubt when the count is finished senator harris and i will be declared the winners. i ask everyone to stay calm. the process is working. >> a little unclear when all the ballot counting in the four states will resume. in allegheny county it is taking a really long time. bottom line, bare minimum there are deadlines, tuesday, thursday and friday for all four states to report. hopefully we will find out some information before then but otherwise we will be here. >> let's break down the state starting with nevada and lay out what is going on in the silver state with the chair, trump campaign batch lawsuit. is the crux of it. irregularities have plagued the election including lacks procedures for authenticating mail ballots, 3000 instances of ineligible individuals casting ballots. the big question, so important to boil this d

but nevada could be crucial. there is absolutely a scenario where biden loses states like georgia and pennsylvania north carolina and suddenly nevada would be the crucial state for biden and it is a very, very close. just one thing to say about the republicans here, they are very litigious, they have already launched all sorts of lawsuits previous to the election. i think if it's close here you can pretty much guarantee you are going to see more lawsuits from the republicans to come here. james clayton in las vegas. evenifjoe even ifjoe biden does become president, if his party does not control congress it can be difficult to get things done. they are expected to remain control of the house with a reduced majority. they were unable to unseat susan collins who has fought off a strong challenge. they needed to gain three orfour challenge. they needed to gain three or four senate seats for control they have had just an increase of one. democratic strategist, cristina antelo joined me from washington, i asked her how

but nevada could be crucial. there is absolutely a scenario where biden loses states like georgia and pennsylvania north carolina and suddenly nevada would be the crucial state for biden and it is a very, very close. just one thing to say about the republicans here, they are very litigious, they have already laws all sorts of lawsuits previous to the election. i think if it's close here you can pretty much guarantee you are going to see more lawsuits from the republicans to come here. james clayton in las vegas. ben wright is our north american correspondent, hejoins me now from washington. i think not since 1992 has the us unseated a president after just one term. how likely doesn't look now? president trump does not want to join that list of one term presidents. i think there have only been three since the war. at the moment it must be said that the path to victory for donald trump does look much narrower than it does forjoe biden. joe biden, i think, narrower than it does forjoe biden. joe biden, ithink, has g

there is a lot of nevada politics. valda politics can be very volatile -- nevada politics can be very volatile. david: please stay with us. meantime, we want to bring in rebecca green. as the rays narrows, the losses seem to multiply with the trump campaign pursuing actions in michigan, pennsylvania and georgia. to take us through that, we welcome rebecca green of william & mary law school. thank you for being with us. give us your take on where we are. pennsylvania, an announcement a short time ago from the trump campaign, they think they have a major victory. people could go in within six feet to monitor the vets. >> several of the claims the trump campaign are bringing relate to transparency measures. election observers being able to watch the voting process unfold. all states have laws that allow members of -- given, states have different laws --, but allow someday, either already representatives are members of the public to observe the vote counting process per that is to ensure the public can oversee -- ohtani pr

nevada's not alone. it's happening in some other states, too, but we're starting to sewe a sort of circus atmosphere, in some cases a threatening atmosphere around counting locations including some stuff happening in clark county as the vote proceeds there in this very methodical sort of slow way. part of the circus atmosphere in clark county was a press conference today in las vegas, former acting director of national intelligence rick grinnell said, quote, the harry reid machine recklessly threw ballots into the mail. not even sure what rick grinnell meant by that but he did invoke you so i wanted to give you a chance to respond. >> here's my favorite line from the trump folks today. one said, trump would be president except for we have mail-in ballots. now, that's really an intelligent statement, isn't it? we -- we know that the rej star registrar of voters has been in the job a long time. we admire him. he does a good job. they're trying to intimidate him and they won't do. he is a man who follows th

counting continues in nevada. as we look at the map, joe biden has 264 electoral votes to president trump's 214. earlier today, there was an 18,000 vote margin in georgia. it is down to 14,000. there was a pennsylvania governors briefing that has been rescheduled. we will get you the updated time when available. in michigan, and a couple of minutes, there will be a motion hearing initiated by the president to get the vote counting in that state stopped. the result of that, when available, live campaign 2020 election coverage on c-span. we will take you back to your reaction to the election from today's washington journal. of the scene from both outside and inside that convention center, first outside, this tweet from bloomberg politics yesterday. take a listen. >> stop the count! stop the count! >> that from outside the convention center, and then this video from a washington post photojournalist, his tweet yesterday about the scene inside. >> stop the count! stop the count! stop the count! stop the count! stop th
