MARIA BARTIROMO (ANCHOR): You've said many times that one of your main priorities is ensuring that we have a fair election this November. You mentioned Arizona. What's going on there in Arizona? Early voting begins on October 9th. The ballots in Maricopa County, we want to get your take on whether or not you've got confidence there in Arizona because apparently The Gateway Pundit reported that the GOP chairwoman provided an update to allegations that there's not going to be a fair election there.
MICHAEL WHATLEY (REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN): Well, there is going to be a fair election and we're working very, very hard with the Arizona GOP. I actually had dinner with the chairwoman last night and we're focusing very hard on making sure that we have the right rules of the road in place before the voting starts. We filed numerous lawsuits and we've been engaged in a lot of discussions with Maricopa and with the state of Arizona. We are going to have observers and lawyers who are going to be in the room whenever a vote is counted, whenever a vote is cast, to make sure that we're going to be on top of this. We want it to be easy to vote and hard to cheat.
