in the final days of the election campaign michael moore and i talked about a 25-year-old registered voter in georgia named aaron who told new york magazine that he probably wasn t going to vote because he wasn t inspired enough by the candidates. the nonvoters are the largest political party in the country. trump got 63 million votes, hillary got 66 million. nonvoters in the last election over 100 million. and usually in the mid-terms over 120 million. they re the largest political force. what i would say to aaron and other nonvoters is first of all i understand why a lot of you don t vote. i understand why you think the system is corrupt. it is. i understand why you think the candidates sometimes just look like a bunch of old party hats. they are. i understand why you re fed up

the fact is the laws they re talking about here were passed by democratic and republican leather. she has to play by the rules. if she doesn t want to do that she undermines the ability of the system to function in that state and harms her people. a couple things here. we need to remember they actually i believe her campaign manager said there were 21,000 provisional ballots yet to be counted. 20,000 to go to an automatic runoff. there were calculus if they held on long enough they would trigger a runoff. the numbers are not on her side. bill: we did go to our research brain room and said if you don t respond to a notice and make contact with election officials could if you don t vote or make contact you could be purged from the vote roles and the process takes seven years. provisional ballots is a different issue. challenges with the actual
let s turn to the mueller investigation. you said you will not vote for any further judicial nominations to go forward in committee or the full core of the senate unless the legislation that you introduced to protect the special counsel gets a full vote on the floor. as of now not one of your republican colleagues, corker, sass, not one of them has joined you. are you disappointed in that? this legislation was passed in april and on a bipartisan basis, which we don t often get out of the judiciary committee, and it passed 14 to 7 including our chairman voting for it. since that time we ve processed 50 judges, and we need to do judges. we ve done that on the floor of the house. what i m saying i m sorry, the floor of the senate. what i m saying is that this has to be priority now. we have a situation where the president has fired the attorney general and has installed and
