Summary

Pres. Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are giving their final campaign pitches to voters in battleground states. Former President Barack Obama was out campaigning in Atlanta for his friend, Joe Biden. He told the crowd he hadn't originally planned to come to the state, but he was told Georgia "could be the place where we put this country back on track.” Stacey Abrams has been in Georgia politics since 2007 and is the former Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee. She tells Anderson Cooper the winner will be determined by turnout and she thinks Biden will turn Georgia blue. Plus, both candidates were in Pennsylvania on the last day before Election Day which shows just how much they both want and need to win the Keystone State. Trump tweeted that a Supreme Court decision about counting mail-in ballots after Election Day in the state will allow rampant and unchecked cheating. Kathy Boockvar is the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She joins AC360 to react to the President’s comments and says she wants to make sure every qualified voter has the right and opportunity to vote.
