KPIX KPIX 5 News At 600PM November 8, 2016

Closing argument today . Reporter well, her closing message, scott, was that she wanted to get beyond that nastiness and try to unify the country. She said she would make it a priority as president , and donald trump, she argued, has run a very divisive candidacy and would be a very divisive president. Heres how she put it to supporters in grand rapids, michigan, this afternoon. When your kids and your grandkids ask you in the future what you did in 2016 when everything was on the line, youll be able to say you voted for a stronger, fairer, better america where we build bridges, not walls. Reporter clinton argues that she has a reputation for building consensus in the senate and that she can do it in the white house, too. Scott. Pelley nancy cordes, thank you very much. On to Major Garrett. Major, what was trumps close today . How did he try to wrap it up with the voters . Reporter scott, the Closing Argument is this everyone in american political life not supporting donald trump is some combination of stupid, corrupt or weak. And in the case of Hillary Clinton, trump argues vigorously shes all three. He also lays before his supporters this proposition if you want change, im not the best change agent in america, im the only change agent, someone with political clout and celebrity status sufficient to beat the special interests in washington at their own game. It is a nationalist, populist and conservative argument that trump found very resonant responses from his supporters. The key question is are there enough of those supporters to push him over the top . Pelley nancy, as everyone knows, there are 13 very closely divided states. We call them the battleground states. How does clinton feel about those tonight . Reporter id say the campaign feels confidently determined, scott. It feels a lot like the atmosphere around the obama operation in 2012, which isnt entirely surprising because its a lot of the same people. They are very datadriven. They have a strategy thats been in place for a long time. They know what they need to do to win. If they execute the strategy properly, they win. In fact, a couple days ago i was talking to marlon marshall, the director of state campaigns. I asked him if hes feeling more nervous this week than last week because of the tightening polls. He said, youre assuming that im nervous at all, and im not. Pelley major, donald trump almost has to sweep the table of the battleground states. How do they feel about that prospect . Reporter scott, tomorrow theyre going to be looking at a number of states obviously, but michigan, pennsylvania, New Hampshire loom the largest for the Trump Campaign. Also out west, colorado and nevada. I was talking to a senior trump adviser. I said, wait a minute, the early vote in nevada is running way against you. You have to break the mold to get back in the game in nevada. He told me the mold is already broken. We just dont know by how much. Pelley Major Garrett and nancy cordes on election eve, thank you both. Charlie rose will be moderating our Election Night panel tomorrow night. And hes here tonight with us now. Charlie . Reporter thanks, scott. Joining me now is peggy noonan, a columnist with the wall street journal, Jamelle Bouie the Political Correspondent for slate and Mark Leibovitch from the New York Times magazine. Mark, looking at where these candidates are, what does that say about their priorities and the situation on the day before the election . Well, its interesting that both candidates will be spending time in pennsylvania and michigan. These are clearly states that donald trump needs at least one of them. Theyre also states that dont have early voting and so the more work you can do on election day or the day before election day, it will have a bigger difference. These are both states in the rust belt that the Clinton Campaign and the Trump Campaign have been emphasizing really closely. Rose jamelle, what about these constituencies that they will be looking to gain early participation . Trump is obviously trying to dust up his support with workingclass white voters and probably try to cover support. The Clinton Campaigns obviously very focused on giving African American turnout up and sustaining high hispanic turnout. Part of the problem is in states like North Carolina, which is a Tipping Point state for the election, voter laws over the past couple years that have been put in place, the reduction in polling places, high requirements for i. D. Have actually reduced African American turnout by about 9 . So thats a real challenge for the Clinton Campaign going into tuesday. Rose the idea of Voter Suppression . Right, Voter Suppression. Rose peggy . I think two great questions. One, does the Obama Coalition turn out for Hillary Clinton in an organized, concentrated way, significant enough to give her a win . On mr. Trumps side, does the White Working Class show up . Does the working class show up . Is there actually a secret trump vote that nobody knows about that is going to show up at the polls as his campaign has suggested. Pelley how about women . Women have been problematic for mr. Trump. I think in states like pennsylvania it will probably turn out to be suburban women who might have gone republican but who didnt want to go down the trumpian path considering how he speaks about women. In nearby ohio, a woman recently said to me, it cant be trump and im a republican. I said, why . She said, because i have a son and i dont want him to think its okay to talk like that man. Rose one thing we expect is large participation by latinos in this election. Its a game changer potentially. In florida, especially North Carolina, in early votes, two crucial states, certainly if Hillary Clinton can win at least one of them shes in very, very good shape. Theres been very, very high latino turnout, that would seem to favor her. And obviously its a great surprise for them. I think it gets to this question of missing voters. Theres the shy trump voter, but theres also the shy clinton voter. I think quite a few of the shy clinton voters might actually be nonwhite voters who are not picking up on the polls but may be turning out to vote. Rose guys, thank you very much. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow night. Back to you, scott. Pelley charlie rose, thank you very much. Of course, the outcome of the u. S. Election has a worldwide effect, so we spent correspondents to two capitals. Elizabeth palmer is in moscow. Manuel bojorquez is in mexico city. This is the heart of our factory. Reporter this factory outside mexico city produces a new type of cement repair mix. Jose osawa is the owner. This is one of the main products we import from the state. Reporter the Free Trade Agreement known as nafta allows him to import the ingredients without paying tariffs. Basically all my Raw Materials come from the states, all the machinery, all the electronics, they come from the u. S. Reporter so the more you sell, the better you do, the better those suppliers in the u. S. Do, as well. Yes, my suppliers are very happy if im growing. Reporter thats one way to look at nafta. Heres another. Nafta is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere, but certainly ever signed in this country. Reporter donald trump has vowed to renegotiate or rip up the deal. Its one of the statements that has led to trump protests here. What would happen if the United States decided to get out of nafta . I think it would be a huge mistake and hurt significantly u. S. Companies. Any kind of company. Reporter Blanca Trevino is c. E. O. Of softtek, a High Tech Service provider headquartered in monterrey, mexico. The Partnership Benefits us both. Think of the jobs that are related. Think much more how many jobs would be lost if we didnt have this kind of agreement . Reporter its estimated that more than a million u. S. Jobs are directly tried to trade with mexico. Softtek, for example, employs more than 500 people in the u. S. And all the software and hardware it uses for corporate clients around the world is purchased from u. S. Companies. Its not just i. T. Think about tourism. Think about transportation. There are so many things also related to nafta that are important for this kind of agreement. Reporter but trump points to job losses in u. S. Manufacturing to countries like mexico. Hillary clinton is heavily favored here, and not just on trade, scott. One mexican tv network has branded its election coverage, its her or the wall, no mention of trump. Pelley Manuel Bojorquez in mexico city for us tonight, thanks. Of course, for their part, the russians have been accused of computer hacking to interfere with the campaign. Our Elizabeth Palmer is in moscow tonight. Liz, what are the russians saying about that . Reporter well, the russians have denied that they meddled in the u. S. Election but those denials have on occasion sounded like taunts. Take, for example, president Vladimir Putin at a conference recently. He said that americas reaction to the reports of meddling were hysterical, implying that the u. S. Is being thinskinned and defensive. And then he went on to say america is a great power, not a banana republic, unless im mistaken. Pelley what, in your opinion, has the russian government been trying to achieve with all of this . Reporter well, they want to undermine confidence in americas voting system, both at home and abroad, and also to belittle american democracy, but maybe most of all they want attention. They want to be considered players on the world stage. And the very fact that the United States has to prepare for the possibility of russian Cyber Attacks tomorrow during the election or even that were talking about Vladimir Putin and russias role in americas election on national television, scott, thats a win for the kremlin. Pelley liz palmer in front of the kremlin tonight on the moscow river. Liz, thank you. Well, each of our 50 states has made up its own rules for election day. Some of them have made voting easier. Some harder. Carter evans has that. Reporter in california, early voting has been under way for weeks to accommodate a record 19. 4 million registered voters. Theres a lot of concern about voter intimidation. What do you tell people . I tell people not to let the dialogue about that deter them from going out to vote tomorrow. Reporter dean logan is the registrar in los angeles county, where the only thing you need to bring to the polls is yourself. California does not require i. D. To vote. You sign the legal oath that you havent voted anywhere else and that you are eligible to vote and theyll issue you that ballot. Reporter but 14 states have new, restrictive voting laws. Nebraska and ohio both reduced early voting days. In arizona its now a felony for anyone other than a caregiver or Family Member to drop off another voters absentee ballot, and seven states now require photo i. D. At the polls. Lerner perez Deputy Director at the Brennan Center for justice. These strict photo identification laws include identification that up to 8 to 12 of americans dont have. All these laws do is put barriers in front of the ballot box for eligible americans. Reporter if people start to interfere with voters asking for i. D. S, asking citizenship, whats going to happen . Well contact our friends in Law Enforcement and ask them to intervene to ensure that voters are not intimidated. Reporter and the department of justice plans to deploy more than 500 poll watchers to 28 states to make sure that federal Voting Rights laws are followed, but, scott, that is actually fewer poll monitors than the department of justice sent out in the 2012 election. Pelley carter evans for us tonight. Carter, thanks very much. Coming up next on this expanded edition of the cbs evening news, the election torch is passed to millennials. And later, what the world thinks of all of this. Of all of this. ,,,,,,,, pelley Elaine Quijano of our streaming news service cbsn is following the election through social media and the voters who use it most, millennials. Elaine . Reporter scott, millennials now make up 41 of eligible voters. Thats almost as many baby boomers as there are in this country. For those under 30, more than one third say social media has been their most helpful source during the campaign season. So on Election Night, this is where we will be tracking what the voters and the candidates are saying throughout the evening. Well be sharing tweets, photos and videos were getting from voters across the country as well as Realtime Data on trending topics. For example, one of the most popular electionthemed trends on twitter today has been the hashtag electionfinalthoughts. This is a hashtag twitter users have been using to sound off for the last time. Before voters head to the polls. Take this one, i think these past months weve done more damage to each other than our future president will supposedly do to our country. Another from laura brown, remember, america, that the world is watching and waiting for your decision. Dont embarrass yourselves any further. Scott, as far as the youth vote, a recent harvard poll found that over half of young people said they feel fearful about the nations future. The question is are they so fearful that they may not turn out tomorrow . Well be watching what theyre saying and what the candidates themselves are saying across all social media platforms. Its going to be a busy night. Pelley Elaine Quijano from cbsn. Elaine, thank you very much. Now, could the president ial election be left up to the house of representatives . Youre going to meet the candidate who is trying to make that happen. ,,,,,, man in cities big and small, newspapers all over say its time. Woman time to legalize and regulate marijuana in california. Man time to vote yes on prop 64. Woman its better for public health, for law and order and for society. Man it makes sense to regulate and tax marijuana. Woman prop 64 would bring discipline and oversight. Man prop 64 is the first step toward a rational drug policy. Woman its time for a new approach. Man vote yes on 64. Want a great way to help our children thrive . Then be sure to vote yes on proposition 55. Prop 55 doesnt raise taxes on anyone. Instead, it simply maintains the current tax rate on the wealthiest californians to prevent education cuts that would hurt our kids. No wonder prop 55 is endorsed by the california pta, teachers and educators. Because all of us want to help our children thrive. Its time to vote yes on proposition 55. Its time to vote yes the mae gave her Top Executive managed aa huge pay raiseet, and a lavish car allowance, run up a deficit, then cut jos for local teenagers, and cut afterschool program. No wonder tchronicle called Mae Torlakson flatout unprepared for the assembly. They endorse tim grayson. As mayor of concord, grayson balanced the budget every yer while doing more for kids. Tim grayson for assembly. Pelley youve probably heard as much as you want to about clinton and trump, but do you know Evan Mcmullin . Hes running for president and has a real shot at im going to vote for you because i want to take a stand like you are. Reporter in his home state of utah, Evan Mcmullin is both loved and loathed. We rallied on the Capitol Steps for you. I call him fing mcmullin. Reporter utahs votes were considered safe for trump until he jumped in as a third party candidate. Why are you running for president . I think Hillary Clinton is deeply corrupt. Shes willing to sacrifice our National Security secrets and information. Donald trump, on the other hand, is somebody who is willing to divide our country, race against race, religion against religion, and he does pose a true danger to our country. Reporter mcmullin is on the ballot in just 11 states, but winning utah could block trumps narrow path to the white house. If the race is so close that neither clinton nor trump get 270 electoral votes, the house of representatives picks the next president. If mcmullin wins utah, he would be one of the choices. Do you acknowledge that you have basically zero chance of winning . Thats a strong statement. Our odds are very long. Theyre dependent upon the race being very close. Reporter the race took a nasty turn when a prominent trump supporter sent out this robo call attacking mcmullin, which the Trump Campaign has condemned. Evan is over 40 years old and is not married and doesnt even have a girlfriend. I believe evan is a closet homosexual. Donald trump is afraid. Donald trump is scared of me, is scared of what my campaign is doing in utah and elsewhere. Hes afraid of being humiliated. Hes a very fragile man. Reporter but is mcmullins support Strong Enough to upset trump . Ben tracy, cbs news, salt lake city. Pelley comi
