Abbott faces re-election soon and he has primary challenges. what he needs to do, hes been accused in the past of being a little swishy. a lot of what abbott has done lately has been things that the republican base, the very conservative base and donald trump approve of. another audit there is something that abbott can say he went along with as he goes into re-election. >> hang on for one second. we have sara murray who has some reporting on this texas move overnight. sara, tell us whats going o...

Doctor results. the real deal, though, its never just been about overturning an election. it is sowing seeds of doubt in our democracy. that effort will continue apparently as the presidents own insistence occurs and greg abbott being asked to do, he is going to do whatever donald trump tells him to do in this case. that is a fundamental problem for our democracy. this whole process has been a sham. dont take total skepticism in the results but the real game is to initial peoples in the democrac...

In the near term. so those are not posing credible threats in the way that would alter republicans behavior. and i think one of the things to remember here is the reason so many of these bills have passed is because they had a good election year last year. and so the idea that there is widespread fraud is that its just not something thats accepted in texas, and i spent more times in texas than i have in recent years, and this is not a common topic of conversation. i dont remember it coming up, a...

Elie honig, good to have you on. thank you very much. well, joe biden won. arizona, in the 2020 presidential election. thats a fact. we already knew it. many months, millions of dollars later, arizona republicans behind what they called an audit have to admit now to that fact as well. a draft report of their findings even added votes to the final biden tally in maricopa county. that is he won by even more than we thought. >> cnns kyung lah is in phoenix. kyung, ill go out on a limb here and sa...

Its up to the citizens of those jurisdictions to express their outrage about it. the rest of the country just yawns because the reality remains, the result that we maricopa county put out tonight. hey we call the election in november, we certified the election in november, all we see now is the same information coming back the exact same way. this idea by the way, other forensic electoral audit is a fiction. it does not exist in law. it is a waste of time. it is a waste of effort. the process ea...

A recent cnn poll showed that among republicans 78%, and this is in august and september, 78% said joe biden did not legitimately win enough votes to win the presidency. 54% said there is solid evidence that biden did not win, which there, of course, is not. if theyre so convinced already, so many republicans, why, again, would the outcome of any of these sham audits convince them otherwise? i dont see it. >> because this has been donald trumps best case to do the audit, brought in people who we...

Republicans in the arizona state senate to conduct an audit. even though the republican governor of that state certified the election and said donald trump lost that election fair and square. so this is the committee wanting to get more information, asking the ceo to come testify, seeing what they can find out as they push back against what they widely consider to be a sham audit. >> sahil, lets get to those subpoenas. why those four trump advisers and why now? >> this investigation has taken on...

Phoenix tonight. natasha, the group conducting the audit and republicans have been holding an hours long news conference with their findings. what are they saying? >> erin, they spent a few minutes talking about the fact that their unt count showed joe biden did actually win maricopa county. they spent the rest of the time now running three hours long raising issues that have largely been debunked by election experts. though, trump supporters sitting inside have been hanging onto every word duri...

So-called audit. now, in addition to this circulating in arizona journalism circles tonight, i can tell you we have reviewed it, i have reviewed it. its three whole volumes -- how best to put this. other than to tell you its purported conclusions are objectively hilarious, we are not going to report on the contents of that purported draft tonight. because even though multiple sources have told us it is legit, we tracked down many sources today who all confirmed today that that is a close to fina...

Months include changing processes and how they are reviewing the ballots. of course election officials say that any legitimate audit should have a consistent method and that did not happen here, and of course, again, a lot of taxpayer money spent, a lot of anticipation into the final results that have been delayed for a long time, and finally, were going to hear what they have to say in less than an hour. allison and victor. >> natasha chen, we will be looking forward to that. the former presi...
