what do you believe happens if they do end up overseeing or being able to influence elections in 2022 and 2024? well, i mean, the worst case scenario is that they actually try to manipulate election results. but even if they don t, even if people are watching over their shoulders or they re trying to do the right thing, are people going to believe what they say? so if jody hice becomes the secretary of state of georgia, and he has claimed falsely that the last election was stolen. suppose trump runs again and he wins, he beats biden by a little bit according to what jody hice says. why would democrats believe him? so all of the people who now are on the republican side who doubt election results will be joined by democrats. so it will be a further cycling down in terms of people accepting the legitimacy of our democracy, which is yet another bedrock thing you need in a democracy, is losers consent. the losers agree the election was fairly run. but we ve lost and we ll have to run aga
so all of the people who now are on the republican side who doubt election results will be joined by democrats. so it will be a further cycling down in terms of people accepting the legitimacy of our democracy, which is yet another bedrock thing you need in a democracy, is losers consent. the losers agree the election was fairly run. but we ve lost and we ll have to run again next time in fair conditions. we ve already seen with 2020 how damaging the perception of an election being unfair or inaccurate is. so let s talk solutions. how do you fix this? well, you know, the democrats tried to get through a very large bill in the last few months. that has not succeeded. but there are at least four republican senators who said that they re willing to talk about making some changes to an arcane 1887 law called the electoral count act. it s basically the rules of the road for congress as they figure out whose electoral college votes should be counted. so there are at least four republican

the policies that we see. it will be interesting to see how the tension is resolved. i think the tension is what is interesting about this, this fight that happened over are you going to raise taxes on people over $250,000, and there was a resolution of the 99 percenters were victorious. they do have a strong, clear agenda. the millionaire s tax raise is a bedrock thing, and democrats are rallying around it, and the republicans are opposed to it. you know obama won the people won people earning over quarter of a million. you know that in 2000, the exit polls said that anybody who was identified as upper class voted 59% for al gore. you have got a mixture in the
