Lines are any indication there will be an overwhelming turnout at the polls mom wouldn't ninety million people.
Are expected to cast their ballots and election officials from coast to coast are braced for us potential problems -- away.
From endless lines of the polls to machine heiress to -- -- -- with me now.
On how the Romney camp we'll tacky.
Any of these issues.
Is Diane black she's also Romney campaign surrogate welcome congresswoman thank you for coming on the show we appreciate your time.
Big lines have party been a problem and we haven't even really started yet.
Well Melissa this is an exciting time and I think that America is really awake and I'm wanting to make a change and that's the reason why we're feeling so good about this race we know the momentum has been on Mitt Romney side.
We're up by 7% with independents up by 7% and enthusiastic factor and that's a reason why you're seeing these long lines were feeling pretty -- we've got a -- ground game there and this is what the elections are all about you you're dealing out letting their voice be heard that's.
Did you worry about voices actually being -- we're already seeing problems like for example in Florida.
Where voters cried out in frustration after there -- lines as long as six hours and -- polling places where people were going to vote early.
They started this new thing as a result would Democrats complain this.
In person absentee which is sort of like Jumbo shrimp I mean it kind of makes no sense but it was the way they were gonna get through.
And there are these issues going on all over the place and -- -- one for example who do you think benefits.
From the fact that -- change the rules of the last minute they're leaving these polls open in Florida.
I think that we want to ballot box to be have an integrity and I am hoping that all the way across this nation that's going to happen.
Of course there will be little glitches here -- there and there's going to be a big turnout so there'll always be challenges when there's a big turnout.
But I'm gonna have a confidence that those who are running these elections are gonna be watching those polls we will have poll watchers out there and that this election will go smoothly.
What about I mean and machine errors or -- lack of paper trail for example I mean also in Florida and famous Palm Beach County Florida which was famous for the butterfly ballots and hanging -- who could forget that.
They're saying that they can't read some of the -- by voting machine because of a printing -- so they're going through.
And they're having people read them and then mark other ballots and put them into machine I mean does that make you nervous.
Well it's -- always makes me nervous when things don't go just since they were intended to go but.
That's gonna be a part of having poll watchers and the nation that we have people at the polls they can they should the integrity is there.
So how many poll watchers -- -- what exactly are they looking for.
Well there -- poll watchers that have a potential of being ever every poll of course there's a different.
A mechanism for that in every state that you go to but then the Romney campaign has a great ground.
Campaign going and they're gonna make sure that we have integrity at the else.
On the -- let me ask you before you go -- Mitt Romney gonna win.
All I think Mitt Romney just going to win and I really like with speaker Boehner says you know -- is out in his own state.
Campaigning and he sees firsthand what's going on I've seen firsthand what's going on in in states like Wisconsin and and Pennsylvania where I've been there.
A campaigning for Mitt Romney and if there is an enthusiasm unlike anything that I've experienced before.
And I think the momentum is on our court.
I think what -- more than that 270 required electoral votes and that there won't be any doubt that he will be named the winner tomorrow night OK thanks so much for coming on the show.
You're welcome thank you for having me --
