How the midterm elections could get derailed

Election officials at the state and local levels have been focusing on safeguarding security at the polls and election offices. But they're also thinking about their own personal security and the security of their staffs. We speak with two election officials: Derek Bowens, director of elections in Durham County, North Carolina, and Janice Winfrey, Detroit city clerk. 

Then, an election law expert games out what could happen if the congressional elections are contested and not certified by Jan. 3, when the new congressional term begins. We ask Ned Foley, a constitutional law professor and director of the election law program at Ohio State University.
