in georgia, you have to request a ballot. when your application has been verified that it is you requesting it, you are sent the ballot. when you get about, you send it back to the election official. that is how it started with no excuse absentee voting. the general assembly has elected not to change that. host: how has the georgia 2021 election law changed early voting in your state? guest: we increased it by another day. we mandated all 159 counties have to have 17 days of early voting. monday through friday, 15 days. any county that wants to have sunday voting can continue to do so. host: let's hear from kathy in kansas. go ahead. caller: yes. i was wondering. i'm a little confused. there was something on the new voting laws that is whenever a group of electors somehow allege fraud or something, they can go back and you can get a new group of electors to go to overturn something. how does that work? i also want to ask you, would you vote for trump again in 2024 if he runs, given all his hideousness and everything he has do

he certified biden's win in georgia. that comes with consequences for his political career as trump's gop turned him into public enemy number one. raffensperger has amassed no major endorsements next year and struggled to win minimal support in straw polls at republican events across georgia. unprecedented fall for an incumbent in the secretary of state race. the state legislature controlled by his party stripped him of the seat on the elections board for the 2022 election. purely in retaliation. raffensperger's fall from grace for deciding to actually abide by the oath of office should serve as a reminder of the forces running the gop right now. it puts the spotlight on how fragile this democracy is. raffensperger chose to do the right thing, but someone else might not have. someone else might have caved under that pressure. the safety valve of democracy is certain individuals choose to do the right thing. while the overt january 6th attack on the democratic process may be in the rear-view mirror, the covert erosion of

and is the true governor of georgia. nobody said it was a big lie when she said that. now you go forward to it happened in the 2020 election. these people deserve great political credit in a non-moral sense for doing what they could to push the envelope. what they did in georgia very simply is they did not follow the law. the only reason donald trump was not declared the victor in georgia is because the secretary of state was part of a corrupt bargain to not follow the election law, by his own admission, in a state of georgia, you cannot vote from a commercial address or a phantom address. you can only vote from your residence. thousands and thousands of people in georgia voted from those illegal addresses. in previous elections, those ballots were not counted. in this election, those ballots were counted. the secretary of state participated in an illegal scheme to not check any of the signatures for those who voted by mail. because of the pandemic, mail-in ballots increased by 50% in most states. if you did not check th

that was georgia's citizens arrest law. it enabled any ordinary system doesn't to capture any ordinary citizen if they could claim that the person committed a crime. it was made the law of the state in 1863. it is no coincidence that that law was put into place that year. 1863 was codified. beloved was codified right after president lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation, enslaved people in georgia started fleeing their captors. when cornell law professor put it bluntly quote, it was a slave catching law for slaves that attempted to flee. and it remained the state saw during jim crow when it was used to justify the lynchings of four black people in january of 1912. it was used again to justify the killing of two black couples in july of 1946. black couples who were dragged from their cars and shot dozens of times by white men. the naacp, has documented more than 530 acts of lynching in georgia alone between 1882 and 1968. the violence was second only to that of mississippi, the citizens arrest law helped excuse some o

georgia state officials to overturn the results, he is on tape literally on, taped telling georgia's top election officials, i just want you to find 11,780 votes. it is very public efforts, then held hand to senate seats to the democrats, when john ossoff and raphael warnock, one in the special runoff election. state republican lawmakers responded, by being among the first states to pass new voting restrictions, including measures, that give the republican state legislature more power, over county election boards. in response to, that major league baseball then decided to move the all-star game, out of atlanta, that's the very sight of last night's game, and tonight's. so elections in institutions, make it harder to vote and whip up a cultural war panic. this strategy was made in georgia, but you can see it playing out and states across the country. including virginia governor's election, on tuesday. and that's why last nights and tonight's baseball game, is about so much more, than just baseball. so much to discuss and i have the perfect person to do it, with joining me now is georg

attorney in georgia to resign. republican senator lindsey graham from south carolina, he's not even from georgia, he called raffensperger, the secretary of state too. trump's chief of staff personally showed up to view a georgia election audit. rudy giuliani told the georgia legislature that they needed to overturn the election results. it was all part of the same project. a recent report from the brookings institution by several high-profile legal experts concludes that trump's post-election conduct in georgia leaves him at substantial risk of possible state charges predicated on multiple crimes. these charges potentially include criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, intentional interference with performance election duties, conspiracy to committee lecz fraud, criminal solicitation, and state rico violations as in racketeering charges, something that fulton county prosecutor fani willis has previously suggested she's looking into.ch county prosecutor fani willis has previously suggested she's looking int

you have a big election integrity problem in georgia. i hope you can help us out and call a special election and let's get to the bottom of it for the good of the country. let's get to the bottom of it for the good of your state. let's go election integrity. what could be better than that? sir, i'm sorry. i cannot do that. >> those remarks should be of great interest to the fulton county district attorney's office which has been quietly assembling a case against the former president for his attempts to overturn the election there. on saturday we learned the district attorney is close to impaneling a special grand jury in the investigation which may lead to charges against donald trump. a key focus the january 4th phone call between trump and georgia's secretary of state brad raffensberger. you remember. the call where then president pressured raffensberger to, quote, find him the votes to win. >> so tell me, brad, what are we going to do? we won the election and it's not fair to take it away from us like this. and it's going to be very c

amy: let's go to georgia. on monday, the legislature passed a gerrymandered state senate map giving republicans 59% of seats in the state for the next decade. the map reshapes a district held by democratic state senator michelle au and makes it lean heavily republican. this is georgia state rep for georgia bee nguyen responding on the house floor. >> i collect on the senate side who currently represents senate district 48 is the only asian woman in the senate, one out of 56 members. it means when six asian women are brutally murdered in our state, we know there will be at least one woman on the senate side who can speak about cultural barriers, who can speak about language barriers, and who can speak about the fears that plagued the asian-american community most of just like the senator dead from senate district forget earlier this year. and here we are a state we have one million georgians come asian americans being the fastest growing population in our state, and the majority party drew a map that targets th

. >> in georgia, has been drawn out, essentially, of her district. this is problematic in georgia and across the country where you're seeing in states even like north carolina where the black voters are being packed into a small number of districts which really drives them of the right to representation in their districts. and that is a fault of the system which highlights the reason that we have to pass the john lewis voting rights act so we can make sure that these kind of things cannot happen in the future. >> in michigan republicans are working overtime to circumvent the will of the people. a clerk of the state constitution allowed the legislature to bypass governor's veto if at least 8% of the total number of votes cast in the last election sign a petition. now, michigan republicans are trying to use that loophole to force through voting restrictions, including slashing polling locations, implementing strict voter i.d., and redistricting mail-in ballot applications. david, do you think this gambit is going to work? how can there be political con

those three men gunned him down in brunswick, georgia, and killed him in cold blood. those three men have been on trial for more than two weeks on charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment. they claimed they had the right to chase and detain ahmaud arbery because of that citizen's arrest law, and they claimed that mr. arbery was shot in an act of self-defense. the prosecutors argued their actions didn't meet the standards of that law, and the defendants attacked ahmaud arbery because he was "a black man running down the street." today, after ten hours of deliberation, the jury reached a verdict. they found all three men guilty of felony murder and false imprisonment.ou they found travis mcmichael, the man accused of pugging the trigger, guilty of all nine counts in the indictment. this was the scene outside the courtroom after the judge read the verdict. cheers and chants of "whose streets? our streets." the people unite willed never be defeated. and say his name, ahmaud arbery. ahmaud arbery's parents walked e out, hands raised with their a

lieutenant governor jeff duncan, georgia, is a rhino, never trumper too. dumb or corrupt to recognize massive evidence of fraud in georgia and should be replaguesed. >> and -- replaced. >> and me or my wife would get threats show up on our phone. like blood-curdling threats from just the most awful sounding individuals and deep meaning that would know things about you and your family, that they intensionally were trying to scare us and intimidate us. it was all to try to get us to sit down and be quiet. >> then-president trump wanted some republicans to sit down. others he invited to washington. >> he starts bringing in state legislators from pennsylvania, party leaders from michigan. >> uh-huh. he start having democrat in to the white house, yes, to visit with him. again, this is part of the sales job that he thinks he's doing. he's telling them that really he won and they ought to consider that, and they ought to consider how they submit electors and how they go ahead and certifying the election in their states, but none of them went along with it at the

>> you have all of these different people that voted but they don't live in georgia anymore. what was that number, cleta? that was a pretty good number, too. >> the number who have registered out of state after they moved from georgia. and so they had a date when they moved from georgia, they registered to vote out of state, and then it was like 4,500. i don't have that right in front of me. something like that. >> and then they came back in and they voted. >> the cleta you heard replying to trump there was a woman named cleta mitchell. she was representing the president as his attorney on that call as he was trying to overturn an election in georgia. there was such a backlash to her involvement on that call from her law firm that she resigned from the firm just days later. you might think that kind of think would be a career-ender. well, that would be the last anyone would hear of cleta mitchell. you would be wrong. instead in august, just three months ago, cleta was appointed to the advisory board of the u.s. commission, who i kid you not, helps the state conduct secure ele

cnn's martin savidge is live in georgia with more on this. martin, what more are you hearing about this jury makeup and the case now? >> reporter: yeah. good morning, kate. there is a lot of controversy now surrounding this case, especially in light of the fact of what we know about the makeup of this jury. you pointed out the most critical part is we have 12 juror, 11 white, one african-american. if you expand to include the alternates, it is 15 who are white and one who is african-american, or if you break it down by gender, again, with the 16, it's 11 who are female and 5 who are male. the defense, when they heard that, immediately jumped up -- i'm sorry, the prosecution when they heard that immediately jumped up and filed a motion in court alleging that the defense had purposely struck african-americans simply based on the color of their skin. the defense said no, they eliminated people because they felt they could not be impartial. they argued back and forth for two hours, sometimes emotionally, and then the judge came in with basically

near brunswick, in georgia. the afternoon of february 23rd, 2020, he ran into a subdivision called satilla shores. three white men, traffics mcmichael, father gregory, along with his neighbor bryant, grab some guns. hopped in their trucks, and started to chase arbery as he ran through the streets. they claimed they thought he was burglarizing houses in the neighborhood. , they chased after ahmaud arbery, in a white pick up just, their neighbor, followed behind. brian started to filmed will happen, when arbery tried to run past the mcmichaels. they got out of the truck with the shotgun, and after the brief struggled, he shot him, and killed him. when police arrived at the scene, this is how they treated travis mcmichael. >> is there anything on you? >> justin. >> if he would've stopped -- >> that's fine, that's fine, just take a breath. do you have your i.d. and all of? it >> don't get blood all over yourself, i get that your hands are -- >> do what you need to do. i can only imagine. >> i can only imagine. >> po

this strategy was made in georgia. you can see it playing out in states across the country including the virginia governor's election on tuesday and that's why the baseball game is about so much more than baseball. so much to discuss and i have the perfect person to do it with. joining me is georgia state senator rg a democrat representing the sixth district where the braves stadium is located and a candidate for the nomination for state attorney general. great to have you with us. thank you for your time. let's get your reaction to former president trump at the braves game and doing the tomahawk chop. they said they didn't invite trump to the game and accommodate the request to attend it. but trump showing up to the game in atlanta, it doesn't seem it was an accident. right? he knew what he was doing and the optics of it. >> of course he did. look. he constantly trying to insert himself in wherever he thinks he can get some attention and right here in georgia which is really been ground zero for the election. he's com

as well as georgia and north carolina. i expect that republicans could score a small net gain from redistricting alone, probably between 0 and 8 seats. the bigger impact from it will be that a lot of very marginal republican districts will get a lot safer. in texas where republicans currently hold 23 of 36 districts, and nine of those 23 they hold gave joe biden more than 40% -- 47% of the vote in 2020. republicans have systematically made those seats safer in their new map. guest: you noted president biden's low approval rating. host: yesterday we talked with steve israel, former chairman of the democratic campaign arm. he said he believes democrats could turn this around in, if president biden approval rating improves because the economy continues on a recovery, and also that the covid-19 pandemic is mostly behind us. guest: it's possible that biden's approval rating rebounds before next year, 12 months is a long time. i do think it would need to be above 50% to give democrats any hope of retaining their majority in the

with the passing of georgia's first ever hate crime bill and the changing of georgia's antiquated citizens arrest law. we want to thank this community for the support that it has given to the family and to us. and the community at large. and we want to have some opportunity to have some remarks also from our team. so our senior assistant district attorney and lead attorney, linda donakowsky. [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. thank you very much. but this was a team effort. i want everyone to know that this was a gigantic team effort. d.a. flynn brody put his faith and trust in our team. and i could not have done it without my trial partners. they were all very, very instrumental in making this happen. we had so many people on the team that helped to bring justice for ahmaud and his family. and we really, really appreciate the support that we had and the faith from mr. arbery, okay, and from ms. wanda cooper jones who have been with us and put their faith in us and trusted us to bring justice for ahmaud. and the verdict today was a verdict based on the facts, based on the evidence, and
