i refuse to pretend like he is a good actor in this moment, that they are statesmen or patriots or people who care about protecting american democracy. everything that they have done, from the over 100 members of congress who signed a letter and refused to try to certify the elections in 2020, to, you know, january 6th deniers, apologists for the insurrection, basically saying that there s nothing going to move on the biden agenda. i absolutely want to see build back better become the law of the land. we absolutely want to see a path forward for immigration reform. there are things that the american people want to see, that were promised by the president on the campaign trail, and we are trying to flank him to create and sustain the demand for this bills, these laws that we have to have. nsé yufa thank you so much fr
it was on the mind of his predecessor if only to find 11,000 votes, and the mind of president biden s attorney general merrick garland whose justice department has sued the state for its alleged discriminatory voting laws and the mind of senator mitch mcconnell who is trying to claim the title of majority leader, a title he lost when the georgia state-run yoch elections painted the state blew. it is on the minds of republicans and democrats alike when they debate the viability of the bill that bears the late of late representative john lewis, himself a son of georgia. georgia is on the minds of political strategists, weighing whether the choices of voting right champion and second-time gubernatorial candidate stacey abram. her choice not to attend president biden s speech today, if it wasn t about a scheduling conflict but to follow virginia governor-elect glenn youngkin who distanced himself from an
to one who is not to oversee these elections? as it relates photo i.d., we had that in place over five years now. most people are being registered to vote through department of drivers services, so it has photo i.d. and a robust citizenship check. 99% of registered voters have a driver s license number. if they ve been registered a long time ago, we ll probably have their social security number and that gets you to 99%. we ll give you a free i.d. just like we do if she in-person voting. so it s not been an issue. peer-reviewed studies show photo i.d. doesn t decrease turnout. i know we re out of time here, but you don t have a problem with your own power being removed to oversee elections? what about the latter issue? well, i ve obviously been very clear that i believe that the secretary of state should be the chair of the state election board. but be that as it may, what you
election integrity as well as attempts to foil how hard we ve run our businesses, to how we run elections. you know, brian kemp is right about one thing. georgia, it is ground zero, but not maybe for the reasons he s talking about. i mean, maybe it was ground zero beginning with this call. do you remember? all i want to do is this. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. because we won the state. every time i hear that number and the precision of the request makes me raise my eyebrow and wonder what s next. the former president s lies about georgia, it didn t stop when the state passed a controversial voting law last year. frankly, it s fueling a wave of new bills and prompting primary challenges for republicans like my next guest, georgia secretary
have in new york, new jersey, or delaware. you re talking about minnesota. you re also talking about my home state as well. there s many things across the country that have been looking at these issues, and the problem for voter i.d. laws i want you to address this people s criticism of voter i.d. is not on the concept that they are somehow against the idea of those who are supposed to be voting or you are who you say you are. it s about thele devil being in the details, about the availability of having access to the actual i.d., the type of i.d.s that are prermtd versus those that are taken away, the idea of which counts and which do not. i do wonder for all those things, there s an element happening in georgia right now where the power is being removed from officials like yourself in the ability to oversee fully these elections. do you see a problem with that based on the issues that you have raised? if you believe truly, genuinely, that these are indeed problems, do you think
