overturning a presidential election. when you see these states passing nullification laws to overturn state elections, overturn congressional elections. we need to have a very broad, updated electoral count pact that covers the president as well as local elections. it s right there in federal court papers 59 what we ought to be doing and we should go forward with it. congressman jim clyburn, thank you very much for coming on. up next, former president trump s iron grip on the gop seems to be slipping. what that means for the mid terms as he firmly admits he wanted vp pence to, quote, overturn the election. and it s shaping up to be one of the most interesting and closely contested primaries of the season and it s just a few weeks
continue to stand in the way. yesterday, yesterday was such a sad day. senate republicans voted to aid and abet the most dangerous campaign of voter suppression since jim crow as they blocked a vote on the freedom to vote act, hurting their own constituents and dishonoring the sanctity of the vote in our constitution. the stakes could not be higher. state lawmakers have introduced 425 voter suppression bills in 49 states in the 2021 sessions alone. a number of them have become law. and they must be overturned and this legislation would do that. it would not only end the voter suppression laws but end their vote nullification laws. they re there to overturn the results of an election. really? house democrats have passed
by mainstream politicians, which i thought in conjunction the point that dana was making was an interesting way to look at this. it s absolutely true. look at some of the laws that are being proposed or even passed around the country. all kinds of nullification laws. the federal government can t tell us to do this, cannot regulate our weapons. if a federal agent comes to our state, he will not be allowed to enfo enforce the law without the permission of a county sheriff. so those things are right out of the militia play book. one thing i don t agree with is the militia groups are fading aw away. they have diminished, about 20% last year. but we re still talking about historically high levels of these groups. there are more of them even than in the mid- 90s so we re really going through a second wave of all this. i want to ask you about that. you wrote today, today is also the anniversary of oklahoma city and you wrote about sort of how
the deep south, and the blue states who are implementing obama care are actually the ones who put more in taxes into the country in the first place than they take out. it will be a much wealthier operation. yeah, dr. dyson, i see what dana s talking about nut-ification. it s not just south carolina. 11 states have enacted nullification laws. 11 conservative counties in colorado are voting on exactly that today. they want to create a 51st state. and a lot of right wing media pundits have been pushing the secession idea since president obama first was elected. listen to this. i m not for secession, but i understand why people might be. in the end if you re going to jam all this stuff down our throats, then maybe it would be about secession. some people would probably say, yeah, i think maybe it s time to get out of this. this is a reasonable woman,
