0 calm, steady place to work. it has been. what i would say is remarkable about it is that nobody left during the first two years, and that nobody has left since republicans took control of the house. many of them know that they will be the subject of an impeachment inquiry from the house. they are still there. secretary mayorkas, probably the first target. he is walking into listen to the president speech tonight, and there s no indication that he s leaving. that s actually pretty remarkable, given what they know they re going to face. you see the secretary here, the aforementioned secretary mayorkas, 1000 people in that room. i have to say, i know this is wrong, but it does give me to see the average age of that room, and see precisely one mask. i realize we re in a different position, but these are a lot of very important, very powerful for the most part, very old people. there are 1000 of them in the room, and they re going to be in their screaming together for several hours,
voter. we can t get caught up in just the one big case, when you say that there are ten cases going to be resolved tomorrow, some of that will be larger, smaller, but every one of them will involve a voter. every one of them has a story, the laws and rules are not treating them fairly. they ve got spanish speakers they do not have properly translated material. in may keep see, it was for refusal to put a polling location at vassar college, in lansing, michigan it was a republican effort to stop their election rose. in arizona, it was a republican effort to try to corrupt the review of people who vote by mail. all of those winds matter because it all means that people have the chance to vote, and they will have their vote count. thank you as always for joining us tonight, thank you for the work you continue to do in defensive democracy. marc elias is the founder of democracy docket. it s the stuff that mark does
his closing argument. her story is on the website right now. senator johnson but, his racism, his racist closing argument. in your time in wisconsin, is that landing with people, ron johnson, that sort of overt racist closing argument? again, that lieutenant governor of the state. the first black lieutenant governor to ever serve in the state. it is landing with black voters specifically. i ve spent a lot of time in waukee. i went out to i talked to suburban areas outside of milwaukee. i went canvassing with voters from black, which they are two really engaged black voters. and get them to turn out. not any particular candidate that they do indoors, it s engaging the vote. they all referenced the ad speaking with us young black professionals who were referencing racist ads
direction, or are going in the right direction. a lot of points that we get mix, the vote is not the determinant. there are a lot of anti-democratic autocracy s around the world. russia being one of them, where people vote, they have elections, he came out and said something that sounded like a concession the other day. this wasn t the result we want to, but we have to stop blocking the streets. that actually surprise me because generally speaking, the trend has been the other way around the world. i was struck by the point the ruth made about the fallout following the attack on a, seen it happen over and over again, where it s a moment where somebody inside the gop takes the opportunity to pick up the mantles of leadership. to say i will condemn these attacks, i m talking about the new liz cheney and all of that. i m talking about somebody that might actually have the date.
not go in their direction, that they are going to question election results. i m curious what the dnc is doing to prepare for that undeniable reality? the republican party is a bit unhinged. if you believe in democracy, you believe in free and fair elections. you get into the arena, you for the best fight that you can. when you lose, you shake your opponents hand and you say you were better the republican party is no longer a party that believes that. some third world country party now. we believe in free and fair elections. we believe every single registered american who wants the vote should be eligible to vote and go and have their voices heard. guess what? we are going to fight for those, regardless if you are a democratic voter, a republican voter, and independent outer. this is what america is all about. we have $25 million an hour
