Pres. Trump is stepping up attacks on election integrity as both presidential campaigns prep for a potentially contested finish in 2020. MSNBC's Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on the exact history and law that provides for a potentially lengthy counting of results in this exhaustive Special Report. Melber also provides evidence showing why pundits and politicians alike are wrong to prize arbitrary speed over legally mandated accuracy, how some in the media continued to repeat that kind of mistake in the 2018 election, and applies some insights about patience and philosophy from A$AP Ferg and Morgan Freeman to this unusual election year. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 10/15/2020.

Trailing In Polls, Trump Turns To Discredited Recount Playbook | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Vote for candidates who tell the truth. Don’t vote for candidates who lie 20,000+ times in 3 1/2 years.
Trump has lied WAY more than that in the last 3 1/2 years, those are just the verifiable lies.
@Kay Gee laughingstock? You mean other country’s are upset. This man has made most of the country’s part of nato pay thier share. Trying to get us a fair trade deal. They are all mad because they can’t take advantage of the 🇺🇸 anymore.
@Isaac Graham you’re crazy
Trump has lied more times than that…

The American people are waking up to the fact that Democrat Trash Politicians and their voters are just Sleazy, Slimey, Communist party in America..
That was so funny😀😀😀
@Bobby Nelson wrong party, It’s the Republican your referring to.
@DM Tea Well, we’re going to get rid of his WMD by a landslide Nov. 3.
@Bobby Nelson You’re just as crazy as your rotten orange.
He writes “LOVE LETTERS” to a guy who starves his own people . . . yet calls Americans like Kamala Harris a “monster” and condemns one of his own governors as a “dictator”. Trump is unhinged.
Joe Biden’s Burisma denial falling apart – yet to apologize

@JLA 3486 . . No, I’d never go to war for a “president” who calls dead American soldiers “suckers” and “losers”
Well trump let over 210,000 Americans die of Covid, birds of a feather.
@i love beans spanky spends $70K on his hair, per year too. All subsidised by the tax payer.
@JLA 3486 All the evil dictators are trumps friends. trumps war is with America. He’s taken out over 210,000 so far.
I remember that night so well, being at headquarters, hugging and screaming with excitement. I love Obama!
Of course you did, the Most Worthless POS to ever sit in the oval office!
I would not ever want to be donald the conman trump. People are on to you and don’t like to see others suffer, die, run out of food, money because you and your rich friends make money in the stock market and pay no taxes. 😔💀👾💀👾💀👾
Trump 2020 get ready to lose
Hunter Biden is a coke head.
Joe Biden is his enabler.
@Lovytrigger 23
You sure like those thumbs up your booty.👍🍑
@Colleen Kupka You should be so full of shame you cannot sleep at night. If you can sleep, you must have the blackest, cruelest heart imaginable
Yeah on to him have you seen a trump rally ?
*Don’t vote for a psycho, whose self-serving lies have led to the untimely deaths of more than 200,000 American citizens.*

@Toward Treatise Perhaps. I feel trump has done serious damage to the G.O.P. Republicans in the future will have quite the mountain to climb to get enough votes.
@Keith Johnson – Shelby GT500 Nobody cares. People aren’t voting for money this year — they’re voting against tyranny.
Don’t forget people. t’rump said that if he loses, the only reason why is because it was rigged. Never mind YOUR vote. Never mind the will of the people. Never mind DEMOCRACY. He’s not about any of that.
And THAT’s the guy who republicans chose as their leader. 😅😂🤣
@Lennard Kahn BIDEN LEADING IN EARLY VOTING,,,,75% TO 25%
At least President Trump has a pulse
They love him. All the supporters of Trump loathe America, and want to see it reduced to ASHES.
@padseven I have reported you to the POLICE.
He’s a pathetic failure
Trump knows he’s going to loose (look at the polls) so now he’s pushing bunches to conspiracy theories, so when one is shown to be ridiculous he can go to the next and just go around in a circle. It may work on his base, who celebrate ANYTHING he says, and he can say all the polls that don’t show him winning are fraudulent. This might work for awhile, but eventually he’ll have to face the truth. The longer this takes the more ridiculous he will appear.
GW Bush won because his brother was governor of florida
Don’t forget the republicans on the supreme mediocre court helped destroy democracy.
And those freakin Hanging Chads. This year will be to Big to Rig.
Yup. Jeb got the recount stopped.
These comments So true, only thing that we can do is Vote him and his administration Out!!
@packingten you feeble minded sheep! If there’s a pedo between the 2 it’s Trump. It’s no coincidence he was friends with Epstein. Don’t worry you can still be his puppet after he’s gone.
@Lennard Kahn Noot silent majority. More like NOISY minority.

Trump 2020
O the polls. Is that kind of how Hillary was leading 🤣
A criminal dosen’t care about doing anything right, that’s why they cheated.
@Tom Jackson lol 2 u…
@Mondin von Diex and a lol 2 u…
@Mondin von Diex we have crooked repugs over here so go figure…
@Mondin von Diex She won by California, who refuses to submit to federal investigation. In other words their results should be thrown out as they’re obviously rigged. Where there’s smoke…
The russia gate is already debunked.
“Virus was the democrats party hoax!” the big liar clown said. “fake news too! ” he said it louder. Might be it is time to inject something that you recommended to yourself
to prove that you are right. Virus, he said you are a hoax, you are fake. Pls show him who you are show him if you are real or fake. Bring him with you if you can. introduce yourself to his whole
family too if you can because they show no respect to you because they don’t wear mask no social distance. He has already brought so much miserable, pain and suffering to many families, innocent
human being and to this world because he disinformation about the severity of virus and cover it up and lied to whole country in front of everyone. If you think he can protect this country & YOU? Think hard and think deep again, he cannot even protect himself, he can protect you?
Did you see this big liar clown walking out to his ride while wearing mask? Did you remember what he did to mock the former VP Biden about wearing his mask?
Biden running the WH office for 47 years without getting the virus, you got the virus for just running it for around 47 months?
They discard for human life, they already knew that someone got virus positively and did not take immediately action for self isolation & quarantine, instead they still went ahead to have this rally campaign, fundraising gathering later with no mask no social distance etc, an very irresponsible & disgraceful human being.
didn’t he take the medicine/drug he recommended people who had this virus to take it? ” what do you got to lose? ” he said confidently. I am the most watched covid19 patient they’ve ever seen. 210k innocent PEOPLE have died, million and million of people have lost thier job, economic is in depression, Thousand might be million of retailers , restaurants going under, all under this big liar clown watch.
what more you can say? WH is more dangerous than a war zone!!! Journalist said enter at your own risk!He has failed the nation , fail the people who once proud of themselves in freedom, democracy, integrity, excellency in everything everywhere. Republicans is a circus, clown is their leader.
Trump needs to get out he doesn’t even know what his talking about
@redouan zoufri Only traitors vote for Putin’s Biotch!
@Tara Reade please keep your fantasies to yourself.
@redouan zoufri Do you mean Putin is going to put him in again?
@Grim Reefer Or course. Everyone who questions the Mango Mussolini is attacking him. Biggest snowflake ever. My fav lies were the ones about hundreds of thousands of ballots thrown in rivers. And he messed up, when he said I believe it was 300000 ballots were found in a garbage can. Must’ve been a YUGE garbage can. What I saw was just another lie fest. Nothing more. I’m not sure he told the truth even once.
I apologize if I seem upset with my government, because I am! I am 51 yrs old and the youth of today has no freedom to be young. The republicans what to take your freedom away. These so called Christians want to control your life, but they have no control of their own. I am getting sick of others trying to control people’s lives and they can’t control theirs. I have no more patients for it. People, are you literally voting for your freedom and lives.
This won’t matter. People are waiting in line to vote. God bless them.
@Kenneth Holler ME TOO!
I voted 🇺🇸! 💙🌊🇺🇸🌊💙
@Cool Beans what ever you need to tell yourself.
Registration is the highest it’s ever been. So what does that tell people? It tells me bye bye Trump.
@The Truth All you have to do is look at the people in the lines. The vast majority are wearing masks. Guess who they’re voting for?
Your sure huh?
“Don’t Want Trump As President? You Forgot To Tell God”

Why can’t America count? England counts millions overnight and gets it done with more than two parties.
Trump has clearly proven that he’s not cut out for one of the hardest jobs in the world. He’s not even trying, for goodness sakes. Biden/Harris 2020!
… Orange Julius isn’t cut out for any job. He couldn’t even make money with casinos!. That’s a place where people come in to give you money…
Biden can’t even campaign. He calls it quits for the day before the clock strikes noon. How am I supposed to believe he won’t do the same thing when he has presidential duties? I feel like Jill has done more campaigning for the Biden administration than Joe has.
Be careful of that clown and his mops will do any dirty jobs to get that they want , president Jose Biden watch out those dogs
*_If you want a picture of where the country is headed under trumpery, look south to Venezuela._*
It won’t even be close. The people are coming out in droves. We are tired of this clown in office.
Continue to vote people
You are correct about it not even be close. 🇺🇸✝️ TRUMP 2020✝️🇺🇸
@Salli Francis Keep dreaming…
I hope you’re right. I just voted today💙
@Salli Francis trump lied. 218,000 Americans died. Dump trump 2020!.
