used to be nine weeks when ossoff and warnock won. reduced to 28 days. and guess what, rachel, you can register to vote 29 days. so no new voter can register, and you cannot vote on weekends in the runoff, but you can in the general. everything is done to sow confusion. limited hours for the ballot drop boxes. less ballot drop boxes. limited restrictions when it comes to mail-in balloting. it's one thing after another. and you brought up one of the most egregious things, and senator warnock has a bill to fix it, that basically takes the power that was instilled in the local officials and the local election boards and then basically says, hey, state election board, we're going to throw off 2/3 of your members, we're going to replace them with our own so it's a republican legislature and then if we find a few technical violations we're going to get rid of your local election officials. this is a pure smackdown of voting rights, and it's why we went there and it's why the solution is the for the people act. basic national -- >> the for the people act obviou

by mail, and then here's my favorite, the run-offs that they require here, they were nine weeks when ossoff and warnock ran. they reduced them to 28 days, because you have to register 29 days before in georgia. so all of this in my mind is to quote a judge from north carolina, done to discriminate with surgical precision to make it harder for people to vote and incredibly confusing. that's what stacey and jeff and i heard from voters here in cobb county. i'm at the smyrna community center right now where they had five-hour waits. that's where i am in this building. and tomorrow, we go to the civil rights museum. and we hold our hearing for the first time in two decades to have the rules committee go on the road to get the evidence of what's going on here in georgia. >> so they literally cut the time to a day difference between registration and another thing that i find so -- if it wasn't so sad, and so wrong, it would be funny. you're going to cut the amount of dropoff boxes, like if you -- if you had 20, you cut them to 10, all of a sudden they're not fraudulent? if they're something wrong

that is where senator warnock and senator ossoff became great senators as they are. they produced the time for that runoff to only 20 days. there is no time after the general election. they reduced it, and, wait they can't replace a law that you cannot register as a new voter you have to do it 29 days before, pretty obvious. >> we did see the astonishing thing in the runoff senate campaigns in georgia and that was that they were able to get more voters in that senate election for the second round of the senate election. >> exactly. and the ballot boxes, the jump up boxes, so important. i'm sure a lot of your viewers use. that they said you have to use less of them, you could only use them at the early voting locations and, only during those hours. a bit redundant. it's just a measure after measure. i'm looking forward to working with our two great senators in georgia, member of the rules committee. the day before i will be seeing the great stacey abrams. we think it's really important for these senators to go to georgia and see exactly what is going on and hear direc

that is where senator warnock and senator ossoff became great senators, as they are. but they reduced the time for that runoff to only 28 days, so there's no time after the general election. they reduced it. that way they kept in place their law that you cannot register as a new voter. you have to do it 29 days before. pretty obvious. >> and one of the things about that is we did see this astonishing thing in the runoff senate campaigns in georgia, and that was that they were able to get more voters engaged in that senate election for the second round of the senate election. >> exactly. other things they do, the ballot boxes, the drop-off boxes, so important in so many states. i bet a lot of your viewers use those. they said you have to have less of them and you can only have them at the early voting locations, and only during those hours. a bit redundant. so it's just measure after measure after measure, is and i'm looking forward to working with our two great senators in georgia, members of the rules committee, and the day before i'll be seeing the great stacey abra

, e democratic coalition, came out en masse to vote for joe biden, to vote for senators warnock and ossoff in georgia, that all of a sudden there is a voter problem, voting issue that needs to be solved. and that problem is that too many of those people are voting. and the idea that the supreme court would say well, you know, it's not such a big deal, realla travesty and doesn't do anythig for chief justice john roberts goal of trying to keep the supreme court looking like a neutral player. but when it comes to voting rights, chief justicroberts isn't a neutral player in this. >> woodruff: well speaking about what happened in the georgia vote i happen to beto have a rare and very fortunately had an interview earlier this week with former president jimmy carter in plains, he and his wife roz marin were about do celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary. i asked him, we didn't know at that point about what the court would do but what's happening in georgia these tightening laws, here is part of what he said. >> all over the world, we've always, ever since the carter center was founded tried t

they just had a big turnout and two democrats, raphael warnock and jon ossoff, won the u.s. senate race. and before that, joe biden won the presidential race. and so, what's their answer? well, as reverend warnock likes to say on the senate floor, some people don't want some people to vote. and it's to limit the number of voters. so that's why we are bringing the rules committee. we are going to have some excellent witnesses we announced today of a state legislator, a longtime advocate on voting rights. um, as well as a voter. and hear from other voters, as well, over the weekend about what happened to them in their own, individual stories. because when people hear the stories of the long lines and seniors waiting in line, hot. when they hear those stories, they know that there's only one path to go and, that is, the path toward a righteous democracy and allowing people to vote. >> senate rules committee chair woman, amy klobuchar, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thank, lawrence. >> thank you. >>> and coming up. supporters of donald trump interrupted a town ha

the most recently election in georgia back in january of this year, when senator warnock and senator ossoff won, it was many, many organizations. stacey abrams was obviously, extremely significant, but there were 20 or so organizations, and we did a thing called win both seats along with andrew yang and others and we raised about $3 million that went to those groups to help support getting the vote out. this is the same thing that we believe will happen nationally, as it relates to many of these states. >> martin luther king iii and andrea king, thanks to you both and we appreciate your efforts. that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage after a final short break. e picks up the coverage after a final short break. among my patients i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. sensodyne sensitivity and gum gives us a dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. to be a thriver with metastatic breast cance
