heard them? charlie? charlie is charlie can t hear, so we re going to move on. mayor, let me ask you this question, then, because you can t forget that georgia was ground zero to the former president s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. the man he tried to pursue to try to find more votes on that infamous phone call is secretary of state brad raffensperger, running against jody hice. hice has repeated false claims about the 2020 election. so the big lie is on the ballot in this race for sure, no? yes, and i have long believed that donald trump does not make winners. he goes with winners. so he doesn t have some magic wand that he can just anoint someone a winner, and he has not made good choices in georgia. it s going to be interesting to see. we know what s happening with perdue. the polling is showing that he is down by a lot, so people are expecting that kemp may win tomorrow without having to go into a runoff, win the primary tomorrow. the secretary of state s rac
afghanistan, and he was accused after that about being incompetent in contrast to how effective he s been on ukraine. but he s still living with that afghan story, and this has some elements the china/taiwan story has some elements that are similar to what went on in afghanistan. susan, same question. yeah. don, i think you re right. i do think that it s not a good look when the administration is repeatedly again and again and again walking back the president. it s one thing if it happens once or twice. especially on this taiwan issue, it s happened with the exact same statement multiple times. they need to get their story straight at a minimum, especially at a moment when biden s leadership is being questioned, he s being hammered in the polls. they re dreading the midterm elections this fall. it does seem like this is not exactly the messaging that you want, especially when you re seeing foreign policy as something that ought to be a strength right now. doesn t the buck stop

signs that controversial voter law in 2021. so did that law really restrict the vote? do we is it too soon to tell? so let s be clear, don. just because we ve seen a record number of turnout does not mean that there weren t things done to restrict the vote. some of these votes are voters that would have ordinarily voted on election day. but not knowing what the new rules are or how it impacted them, some people are voting early. we ve always says that while we should not have to organize our way out of voter suppression, we were going to do whatever it took to make sure voters have the information they needed about the changes in the laws and were still able to cast their ballot. at the end of the day, it is our goal to continue to make sure that people have the information that they need so that everyone can cast a ballot. and the republicans have continued to restrict access to the ballot. it is clear that the law that they passed, sb 202 changed the
