abrams. you well know you still need 60 votes in the senate to get anything done. >> that's right. >> on anything. that includes voting rights when it comes to legislation, i should say. some democrats are still not willing to side step the filibuster on this issue. is your hearing in georgia going to change that? >> we've seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in georgia, that not only denies voters water when they're standing in line, but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. and guess what? you have to register 29 days before. this is clearly a focus by the republicans in georgia on limiting people from voting. so we're doing this hearing, yes, to build pressure, to pass basic federal voting rights. that is the for the people act. the john lewis bill. you name it. if we were just to concede and say, okay, we have one vote. the republicans blocked it so we're taking our marbles and goi

some democrats like stacey abrams say they could get on board with that. could you? >> absolutely. dana, when i first registered to vote as a 21-year-old. back then 18-year-olds could not vote, i got a voter registration card. i always present that voter registration card when i go to vote. that is voter id. we are always for voter id. we are never for disproportionate voter id. when you tell me you've got to have a photo id and a photo for a student identity card is good, but a hunting license is not good, that's where the problem is. i don't know a single person who is against iding themselves when they go to vote. we don't want you to tell me my id is not goo. >> you are drawing the line, just to be clear, at a photo id? >> no, i am drawing a line in an equity. you want to keep up and you want to vote and they'll have a photo id that you ought to be able to vote with whatever id you have, one being your voter registration card. >> got it. let's talk about how and if you can get this done. i know you're pushing senate democrats to sidestep the filibuster and pass voting rights le

when stacey abrams lost in 2018, there wasn't a whole lot of changes in terms of legislature. they started to purge for voters. but what happened in that state? they decided to work and make sure that they got more people registered to vote, they educated the voters, they mobilized voters and got them to the polls and guess what happened in 2020? we won the presidency in georgia and picked up two seats in the united states senate. and so this is not an all of the above approach. we have to do it in every way that we possibly can and the dnc announcement yesterday is adding to the efforts across this country. >> don't want to underestimate the importance of grass root efforts, that make a difference in georgia post 2018. but you do know the impact in the courts up to the supreme court. and i wonder, a lot of meetings with the joe manchins and the kyrsten sinemas on the board with passing vra but also with reforming the filibuster. did the latest supreme court decision move them? is that dead on arrival or sis there a path forward. >> i still believe that theresy path forward an

it got the support of stacey abrams who used the word absolutely when she said she would back it. beto o'rourke called it progress. is that legislation you could get on board with? >> obviously that manchin proposal would be wonderful in the state of texas. i don't think people realize how many hurdles we have in the state of texas when it comes to voting in our visits with senator manchin. comparing west virginia election law to texas election law, you can vote in so many different ways in west virginia. at a minimum, whether it's a manchin compromise, a modified s-1, an accelerated hr-4, all those things would benefit us in texas. we have an all-of-the-above strategy so we can bring fair voting rights and have one standard in the country and that's the american standard. >> i know you had hopes of meeting with senator kyrsten sinema. it's been reported as of yesterday that you have not met with any republicans. i wonder if any of those things have changed? have you secured a meeting with senator senator, been able to meet with any republican senators? >> so i may not be as up to

i do think you see in the georgia runoffs, you could say how much of it was stacey abrams motivating the black votes, how much was donald trump messing things up on the republican side. you can slice the pie in many ways. there are smaller scale examples of democrats using voting rights, using the stakes of an election to motivate people to vote. can you do it on essentially a national scale in midterms where history says dynamics are against your party? 2022 will not be a good year for the democrats. joe biden needs to defy history. the margin in the senate is small, the margin in the house is even. history says they must use this to mobilize or else the biden presidency becomes a two-year presidency, they get the house or senate and we slog into 2024. >> we'll see if they can do that. john, love having you wake up early with us. you can have your lunch break with john king. watch "inside politics" with john king every week day at noon. good to see you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >>> right wing critics are attacking the biden administration's door to door vaccine push. the pr

stacey abrams still claims to have won the election in 2018. there's so many things of misinformation that happen on twitter and the way to combat that is not to shut people down. it's to put proper information out there. it's to communicate to people and bring them in. when you shut people like her down, all you're doing is making her a martyr and making it a bigger issue. and really what conservatives believe is, there's a lot of evidence of this and this only happens to conservatives and it opens up the idea of how big tech should be regulated in terms of how they use the public internet. >> so paul, you know, greene is holding a press conference to rail against twitter's decision to suspend her, right? she's become a prolific fundraiser. putting aside what you believe about free speech, doesn't this all just help her, paul? >> it could. it could. but twitter has rules. they're a private company. there are fancy restaurants that make a gentleman wear a coat and tie. they would kick shields out. i think shield is a snappy dresser, but they ha

stacey abrams lost. all that hurts voter confidence. what we've tried to do with this is make election management easier for election officials. also, help voters restore confidence that has been hit by both sides of the aisle. >> apparently it hasn't done that. let me get to some of our audience questions. this is a question for you. were there any early indicators of character that people could've identified to help inform their evaluation of people lying about the 2020 election? voters could have clued into it before 2020. what would those have been? you have spoken about the criticality of good character. >> well, i tend to speak with a calm demeanor, a quiet voice, and i'm careful for the words that i use. someone in high office should always do that. i don't think we need to objective five people. i spent time in the general assembly. i was there for two years. i sat next to democrats on my left and my right. we would have conversations. we had respectful conversations. i want to make sure that we always have those conversations.

>> even stacey abrams testified before this committee that voter turnout does not really matter. i'm lost. can you explain how that makes sense when we have record turnout, have not been able to see a single voter whose vote was suppressed, and they are leading a voice on voter suppression, miss abrams said that voter turnout does not matter. i think it does. do you? >> i think it does. i am proud that in our election last year, in the midst of a pandemic, we had the highest turnout we ever had. over 2 million voters voted. i took some hits from my side of the aisle for decisions i made to make voting easier, but we did in a way that protected security of our elections. we made voting easier. we expanded early voting. we found at about seven out of 10 voters, even in a pandemic, prefer to vote in person instead of by absentee. i don't have a problem with absentee voting. but i think we should permit the states to respect the wishes of their constituencies and come up with a law that works best for them. >> did any of these changes, like vote -- photo id, impact voter turnout? >>

no list of live baiting -- stacey abrams. she denied ever holding such a position. most recently, pennsylvania gov. tom wolf states a spectacular foot plop of his own. suddenly declaring his open to changing the states voter id laws, less than three weeks after vetoing a piece of updating legislation that included voter id provisions, called the voting rights protection act, brought forward by the general assembly. what today's race baiters have in common? two things, timing and polling. because of the political necessity of getting federal legislation through 50-50 senate, following west virginia senator mansions -- mansion -- congressman clyburn, stacey abrams and others on the left had to cast aside their false voter id is racist -- >> >> the gentleman's time has expired. i will give time to wrap up. >> second, the polling is shifted despite six months of attacks. american people still support access and integrity measures which continue, even in this hearing to be called voter suppression. i will write my time up. i look forward to discussing the subject further

abrams have suddenly flipped flop to get on the right side of the polling. so, on the basic mechanics of how elections should be best run, when you take the constitution discussion out of the overcharged political atmosphere of the day, americans tend to agree on what it takes to run good elections. we have seen that one doesn't need fraud to shake confidence in an election. does anyone remember bush v. gore? in 2000, florida's election system was held up before world as a sad joke. incompetence, election breakdowns, untrustworthy ballots and machines, and haphazard and inconsistent rules. americans' confidence was shaken. in 2000, the left was screaming its lack of confidence in our elections. again in 2016. again in 2018. highly regarded pollster scat scott rasmussen wrote an article this year in which he recorded that while 32% of americans lack confidence, that america sore in the correct person as president following the election of 2020, 26% held the same view after the election of 2016. and there is not much overlap between those two groups. here in t
