Question. when is baseball or a baseball game more than just simply a baseball game? ill tell you. when one of the teams has a racist nickname and the fan base doesnt let a controversial team tradition die, when that team plays in a state thats ground zero for election subversion, when a former president uses the game as an excuse to throw fuel on the culture war fires. when you combine all of that, thats when you get a baseball bellwether. the world series is under way. last night was game four...

Whos down that you wind up losing the morality of it and the right and wrong of it, and that, i think, is super important. the other thing is to not allow these things to be disconnected. the rules that affect how people vote are the same rules that will allow republicans to subvert elections. the same rules that is going to make the mother of three children waiting in line for three hours not be able to stand in line because she doesnt have any water, is the same rule that is going to allow rep...

Protecting our democracy from the forces that are trying to unravel it from the inside out. >> now his republican counterpart mitch mcconnell has blasted this bill as an election takeover scheme. his argument is that the federal government should stay out of this entirely and let states run their elections as they see fit. no apparent compromise between the democrats and the republicans. its worth remembering what exactly this bill does. it allows automatic and same-day voter registration in all...

I.d. laws. that was one of the big compromises. theres a lot for voting rights activists to like. it would put a lid on states ability to enact restrictive voter laws and it would take some actions to combat election subversion. at the end of the day, unclear if democrats are going to do anything beyond kind of put up a procedural vote, and allow it to fail beyond that, stephanie. >> allow it to fail. i want to explain why this is so important. supporters of the freedom to vote act say its more ...

With the current secretary of state, and have gone toe to toe with him on voting rights issues and he has not been on the side of democracy. he had the opportunity today the right thing and uphold the law last year but the reality is hes never been a friend to voting rights. he supports senate bill 202, a bill that strips him of his own power but also allows the state legislature to turn our local election boards into -- im not surprised. hes also a person, who while he stood up to trump, he in ...

>> yeah. that is exactly right, rachel. too many people are looking at the fight for voting rights and against voter suppression as somehow separate and distinct from election subversion. they really go hand in glove. you know, the fact is republicans didnt find much fraud, really any fraud, because there wasnt much of any fraud. so what theyre trying to do now is to make the voting rules harder for people to vote, particularly for young voters and minority voters to vote, and essentially manufa...

Various things that we have been reporting, on sort of an isolation. to see them as part of a single strategy. to see them as things that work together, to try to subvert future select election results? >> yes, thats exactly right rachel, too many people are looking at the fight for voter for voting rights and suppression, as somehow separate and distinct from election subversion. they really go hand in glove. the fact is, republicans did not find much fraud, really any fraud. because there was ...

After this bill was structured as a compromise within the party to win the vote of senator joe manchin a key holdout on the previous major voting rights bill democrats were pursuing. they want him giving states more flexibility to prevent certain provisions and cutting out the mandates to allow states to implement voter i.d. with certain safeguards. same day voter registration including guarantees for early voting and no excuse mail voting, counteract a number of laws about election subversion w...

Fact. and i think thats whats so new and disturbing about their strategy is they have been doing the front of it for a long time, joy. but the back end of it is what is newer about their strategy and what makes all of the election subversion so dangerous, and weve learned over the last year that states are national battles. if you care about whats happening in congress, you care about the national landscape, you have to care about the states, not just because states copy each other and a lot of ...

Rules need to change. we need to clean the rolls up like in los angeles there is more than 1.2 million people on the rolls. thats more than who are old enough to actually register to vote. >> are we going to follow what the constitution says or not? i hope we get back to what the constitution says. but clearly, in a number of states they didnt follow those legislative rules. >> so you think the election was stolen? >> what i said is there are states that didnt follow their legislatively set rule...
