right now, there are almost 6,000 registered voters who are hall of fame super voters, whose vote in this election would represent more than their 50th consecutive ballot count. but if the pennsylvania hall of fame super voters thought they were going to be able to waltz right in like they have for the last 50 years, this year, they would be wrong. that s because back in march, pennsylvania s republican-led legislature passed and its republican governor tom corbett signed, a strict new voter id law that requires voters to present up to date government issued photo id they never had to show to vote before before they re allowed to vote this year. it s documentation that a substantial number of pennsylvania voters do not have. last month, the state released data showing that more than three quarters of a million of voter do not have photo id from the state. they are legal voters, they just don t have this thing that they say you now have to show that you never had to show before if you w

and good morning, everyone. it s friday, december 2nd. ali and carol are both off today. i m christine romans along with alina cho on this american morning. so glad you got the memo. i know. we re both feeling a lot like christmas this morning. up first, the countdown is on for herman cain. he s heading back home to atlanta this morning in the decision to whether continue his campaign could be in his wife s hands. cain says we will know by monday at the latest whether he s in or out of the race, and yesterday for the very first time, cain admitted that getting out is an option. he okay knowledged he did give money to the woman he said she had a 13 jeer-year affair with . his wife only found out about ginger white when the rest of us did. that is correct, and she was hurt that she didn t know about this friend that i was helping financially. she was aware of many of the other friends that i have helped. ginger white spoke to lawrence o donnell on msnbc last night a
but if those ballots are impounded, and also, if the right demands are made, the kloppenberg campaign can force a recount of those waukesha county ballots. they would have to pay for it. but frankly, at this point i think there would be plenty of wisconsinites who are willing to put down the money to pay for a ballot by ballot count to make sure that this election has not been messed with. this is an absolutely amazing development. how do these votes just fall right out of the sky or all of a sudden get picked up off the floor like this. it is an amazing story, especially with kathy nick klol history in the past. will anything come out of this? i think the walker administration is certainly going to feel empowered by this. but again this piles on to a host of incredibly scandalous and controversial developments. some of them may ultimately turn out to be legitimate. but when you put this into the
