Turnout did not go down in those states. In fact, georgia, which has a large africanamerican also in 2010 when there was no when barack obama was not on the ballot. And in 2012, our last president ial election. Do a survey reau election. Their census shows that black voters actually voted at a higher rate in the state of georgia with its voter i. D. In place. Indiana which has a photo i. D. Law thats been in place since 2008, thats the law that the Supreme Court upheld. According to the Census Bureau in the 2012 election, black voters outvoted white voters by more than 10 percentage point. So this idea that this is suppressing peoples right no vote is simply not the case and the data shows that. In fact, i think president obama actually agrees with that. He gave an interview about a week ago in which he said, talk about voter i. D. And other laws that most of these laws are not preventing the overwhelming majority of folks who dont vote from voting. Most people do have an i. D. Most pe
And she said, well i will vote for you. And that is what you want for the state. Not a rubberstamp for barack obama. Chance why he wants her in the senate as his proxy. Of georgiahe people deserve better, and in georgia the name of those failed policies, again, is Michelle Nunn. Can i get a rebuttal to that . Purdue, forgive me, but i dont believe you. I am the true outsider in this race, and i dont have any political it a local connections, and i am the true outsider. We have to move on, or can i answer that . You can answer that.

Two and ais killing half million jobs, and he has loaded up 7 trillion of more debt with nothing to show for it on the jobs front. We have fewer people working today than at any time since jimmy carter was president , and in georgia, 400,000 more people had to go on food stamps than actual
Heres how that happens. When we compromise our conservative, traditional values, we lose every time. I believe in this race south dakota needs a voice. This is very much about who is going to support south dakota. And in the process, we can be an example to the entire country, and even to the United States senate. I believe the partisan rancor we see in the United States senate is despicable, and the people we are talking around the state to are telling us they are weary of the Republican Party and a democrat party. They are wary because they have not been telling them the truth. That is why i believe this race is about truth. This race is about trust. In the next United States senator from south dakota must be someone south dakotans can trust and restore trust and integrity to the senate. Thank you. Mr. Pressler, to you, is this race about representing south dakota or taking control of the u. S. Senate . It is about south dakota as far as i am concerned. I have a plan to start a postt
