Maricopa County official on ballot audit
A controversial audit of ballots from the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona, has pitted some Republicans against each other. Former President Trump raised unfounded claims that a database was deleted, which Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer called "readily falsifiable" and "unhinged." Richer joins CBSN's "Red & Blue" anchor Elaine Quijano to discuss why he's speaking up.
