Then you have a paper trail you can audit and it is not a 110 million system, but it is what it is. Ive got to say to Brad Roethlisberger that he did a decent job. I want to thank Stacey Abrams for making sure that there were various Court Rulings in effect that mandated certain activities by the secretary of state, to ensure a free and fair election. I think that is exactly what we got november 3. Host what role did Stacey Abrams play in possibly, it looks like, a democrat winning that state for the First Time Since 1992 . Guest she played a huge role. For the last 10 years, stacey effective been a registrar of voters through her various organizations, and in the runup to the 2020 elections, there were one million newly registered voters. Were were 800,000 of those abramsthe work of stacey and her organizations in the act thoses association with organizations. Those 800,000 newly registered voters, mostly young, who made the difference and turned the tide in georgia, and turned georgia blue for the president ial election. Like oneo, it looks house seat in georgia, the seventh district slipped. What is significant about that . Guest it is consistent with the fact that georgia is changing. The new south has come to georgia. Thatw some bemoan the fact things will not be the way they used to be, but things will never go back to how they used to be in georgia. There is new blood in georgia, new people, young people, black asians. Brown people, and forward thinking white people. It is a new day for georgia. Ings are moving forward, not backwards, and georgia things are moving forward, not backwards, and georgia is leading the way to the new south. These are georgia residents who changed georgia and the changes an indication of changing the south and changing the nation. We all know the sordid history of the south with slavery, leading the way on jim crow, apartheid racism for 100 years. We all know about Voter Suppression throughout the south. We all know how difficult the journey has been for black people who chose to remain here and not go north like many did, during the migration from the just, when lynchings and the ku klux klan, that whole actionrate thinking and was the south, but i think georgia has proven that the south has moved on from that sordid history. Weve moved onto a history where we embrace our diversity. Everyone has equal rights under the law. The law is enforced equally against all and for all. And it works for all. Everyone has the right to exercise that cherished right to vote, which is what john lewis dictated dedicated his life to. It is what he walked across the Edmund Pettus bridge for, got on head bashed in, not just that occasion but on numerous occasions. It is what we need to pass in the house to restore the Voting Rights act. We passed it in the house. We need to pass it in the senate and we need a president who will sign it. Thats why im so happy about the prospects for georgia being twoe being able to elect georgia senators who will be partners as opposed to obstructionists of georgias sordid past. We need two senators that will work toward this new south ideal that was expressed by georgians on november 3 in voting for the democrats. I think we are going to measure up and i believe we will win these two senate seats in georgia and thus change the nation. North, southn carolina, democratic caller. Caller hello, sir. Like they are charted black votes to be discarded, so how do you feel about basically what the Republican Party is saying is they do not respect the black vote . Guest this has been the history of georgia. It has been the history of the south, and frankly the nation has not been exempt from it. All across the nation, we have seen repeated instances over disenfranchisement of africanamerican voters, and the type of that has changed. Unfortunately, the United StatesSupreme Court took us backwards despite congressional intent and despite a record that justifies the reauthorization of the voting acts right of 1965. The u. S. Supreme court decided to, in a fit of judicial the votingviscerate , and leave it to congress again to come up with a solution. There is still disenfranchisement taking place by white people depriving black people of their rights to vote across the country in numerous ways, so we need the Voting Rights act to be restored to protect that right to vote, because we are not out of the woods yet in terms of people wanting to suppress our votes. You can see donald in his operation, which still has not enabled to admit that he lost the election. It is in various places across the country trying to suppress the counting of votes in , and youmerican areas can see that tactic being used right now as we speak, and it is something that needs to end. These two senators that we elect here in georgia will stand for that. Tots why this nation needs cleanse the soul of its past unrighteousness, its past and justiceness, its past callousness of equal rights of black people in the country, so i was so glad we had a chance to do that in georgia. Host rocco in cartersville, georgia, republican. Caller i hear people all the time say, it is not that much voter fraud. Equivalent if i gave each of you a pack of m ms and told you that one or two of those had poison in them. You wouldnt accept the entire bag of m ms at all. There is poison in this Voting System and that poison is the illegal mailin ballot a. That illegal mailin ballot in balloting. That illegal mall in balloting pushed through with the woman from wisconsin, Stacey Abrams. You talk about disenfranchising the black peoples vote, donald j. Trump doubled his black voter. Ballotsthese mailed in disenfranchises the black people that voted for donald trump. Hank johnson only cares about black democrat votes. He doesnt care about the black people who voted for president trump. When you take the illegal mailin ballots, you wipe out the black republican that voted for donald trump. Host congressman, your response . My friend would use the analogy of m mailin bloting has balloting has been used throughout the that we have been voting. Throughout the centuries, actually. Mail an in voting. And it was no different this fact that than the instead of going to the polls of to use mailin ballots because they did not catching the Coronavirus Infection and dying chose to vote from home instead of going to the polls to vote. At home, you have to beature match that has made by the Election Officials nce your ballot is received, and then once that match is onfirmed, then your ballot is placed in the stack to be counted. And thats the way that the worked. There were white people and black people who utilized mailin ballots. There were democrats and republicans and some so its nts and impossible for my friend to know mailin ballots from sent in by democrats. Sense. Doesnt make many people exercise prudence keep themselves safe and they voted from home. Theres really nothing wrong that. Host congressman, i want you to respond to your colleague from republican buddy carter, who was on the show and he said the president is justified in his legal challenges. Is. He guest we all need to get it right. It has to be right. Razorthin margin. His race has National Implication implications. It could change the outcome of he election and could lead to other states looking into different things. So i dont think that its i think that donald trump nd that campaign has every right to challenge this. As weve seen already, we had up that we can prove on improve on and make ure it doesnt happen next time. When youre talking, again, about a razorthin margin were about, certainly those things are important. I dont think its a sham. If the emocrats had roles were reversed and the democrats had called for a ecount, thats what we should do. We should make sure that were getting it right. Everyone. Democrat, independent, we all want the same thing fair, transparent, election. Host congressman . A recountl, you know, in georgia formed nd it did not have to be performed because donald trump has not officially requested a of the votes in georgia. He can only do so after the which will rtified, happen on friday, november 20. Within if the is. 05 or less, hen he has a right to an automatic recount. But donald trump did not wait 20 to request a recount in georgia. Sent his hench man, like to come and m, pressure the secretary of state of nstitute a hand recount the ballots. Now, hand recount of the ballots authorized by georgia law. The is something that secretary decided to do because he was so he was under so uch immense pressure from people trying to actually get him to throw out the votes. A. Dsey graham, exhibit but to his credit, he did not go far, but he did do something that law does not is toe him to do and that call for a hand recount of the he had actually certified the votes. And so thats what has happened georgia. The only reason why it happened like that is because donald trying to steal this election. 2016 ually stole the election, but when measures were not to ensure it could happen like that again, hes now attacking the votes. Vote nationally is not even close. Es losing by five million popular votes, and hes losing college by a profound amount. Nationwide. Victory now, in georgia, it is a margin of victory. Now. Nk its 12,781 votes that is very close. Nd he will have trump will have the right to ask for a recount. Once that count is certified on 20. Mber so hes actually going to get two recounts in georgia, and the georgia that secretary of state would choose recount for one vote under immense pressure to so. But in another series of votes, he can decide that im not going do a hand recount. Thats something we need to law, because orgia one law should fit everyone and everyone should live in law. Rdance with that host steven in connecticut, independent. Caller hey. You, lady greta, for taking my call. To focus on get out the efforts. Stacey abrams. After the draconian tax restructuring that really hit me hard, im ready for a change. Your d like to see people young people, theres going to be a whole group of them that will be eligible to in this runoff election. I mean, i want to see people get masks on. On. Gloves knock on doors. Make phone calls. Et former president obama down there. And biden ent harris down there. Get out the vote. What are you guys doing to drive this vote . Host congressman . Guest well, thats exactly what plan is, to do everything and to ntioned, o, first, with respect to registration massive numbers of voters in georgia are already registered. Think its over
