Mistake and thats why hes basically had to have a do-over. whether the substance is wrong is what they care about. the original investigation with all its research come to the right conclusion of no charges or wrong conclusion and folks can debate that from the outside. but the notion that a few more stray e-mails from a person, huma abedin, who was part of the original inquiry, were going to change that conclusion was always unlikely. >> ari melber, our chief legal correspondent. >> thank you. ...

That everybody is being influenced by politics, everybodys drawing their own conclusions selectively based on their own perspective. >> its a shame. >> all right. so now -- by the way, ben, i want to go to something kristen said. do those superpacs that have been using this, are they legally obligated to pull it down? >> i dont believe theyre legally obligated to pull it down. as superpacs, theyre allowed to put the ads up, stations can pull them down the they find the information was false so, ...

>> youre at 260. >> ohio and iowa. >> now whats left is new hampshire and nevada. >> we think were going to get new hampshire and nevada. feel very good about those. of the past four polls ive seen on new hampshire, mr. trump has been leading in three of them. tied up in the other. everything were seeing is hillary clinton as a ceiling shes hitting and mr. trump is surpassing that. were feeling good. we feel good about nevada. were ahead of where romney was four years ago. >> let me give you nev...

If hillary clinton were losing michigan at all, were going there because of the calendar, not the margin. what can you tell us about that strategy? >> reporter: that is a little bit of spin. it is true that these states are about to vote. you dont have early voting in michigan. but what were seeing is the polls are tightening in michigan. secretary clinton right now only has a four-point lead. thats tighter than the clinton campaign wants. the reason why, ari, michigan, pennsylvania, the state w...

Might say? >> well, i think the trump campaign believes its closing in michigan. their polling does show that, and theyre also looking at the absentee ballots. absentee voting is up in michigan this year, but its down in detroit, which has a lot of african-american voter whose would traditionally vote democrat. what you see from the trump campaign is some belief they need to win another blue state, thats true, and michigan with demographics similar to ohio and other rust belt states, may be the ...

Poll today had a concerning number for trump supporters, white college educated voters supporting hillary clinton more than donald trump. those are key -- particularly for republicans, senators and people in key downticket races, they need those voters to come to the polls and support them and top of the ticket as well. thats a national poll, well see how that plays in the battleground state. >> thats a quick point. you know, as long as trump is losing in a heavy way, the hispanic vote and white...

Looks like is lower than they hoped it would be. obviously, you dont have the first african-american president on the ballot this time. she has a lot of make up to do there. at the end of the campaign, the last couple of days, 270 win. you want to lock in what you know you have. it makes pretty good sense, but i think it is a little bit of spin to suggest that youre only going to michigan because were approaching election day. the fact is if it was totally locked up you probably would be heading...

Perry. the night before it was jay-z and beyonce. today shes in ohio with the king of cleveland, lebron james. tonight another james, james taylor alongside her in new hampshire. and adding to the list of celebrities weve been listening to him perform in florida, stevie wonder. hes still at it, campaign event. this is near orlando beforeha beforehanding over microphone to the president of the united states. when we look at the numbers beyond the actual events, the brand-new cnn poll of poll show...

They are throwing spaghetti at the wall, trying to find some combination of new states, like minnesota, that will get them to 270 electoral votes. of course, they still have to win the traditional battleground states, florida, ohio and north carolina and find a couple of blue states to flip. iowa looks good. is it michigan? we have correspondents all over the campaign trail. we will begin in philadelphia where hillary clinton will be waking up this morning. thats where we find our kristin welker...

You take that away from hillary clinton somehow, that that ends up bringing her below 270 electoral votes. so again, i would actually put this almost in poker terms right now, hillary clinton is holding two pairs right now on the final card pull. donald trump doesnt have anything, but hes hoping for an inside straight. thats his path to 270 electoral votes. >> a lot of gambling going on certainly. what about the other states that are in play that usually arent? hes going to minnesota today. >> h...
