What an eye-opener to see former President Ronald Reagan speaking to gerrymandering back in 1990.
ST Sec. Brad R. You are a TRUE PATRIOT, as an (I) voter, I wish there were more (R’s) with your spine. Bravo to you and your family. Freedom isn’t free, thank you for you warding. 💚
No leg, no thumbs up. Call me shallow, I deserve to get something worthwhile for giving my attention. I can get hot air anywhere. You are covering up a great asset.
Her husband is a very lucky man.
Great interview.
Brad is a patriot.
Grateful that He is still in charge of the Georgia Elections
Trump told him to reexamine the discarded ballots
Really! Are you stupid?
@@osmosisjones4912 Would you elaborate? Was there validity to the "discarded ballots" issue?
@@robertmclaughlin9472 if listen to the Raffispergerge phone call many voters couldn't vote because they were told they already voted
Great Reagan quote. That should be played on loop to every Gerrymandered state. I'm looking at you Wisconsin and North Carolina.
North Carolina sure, but, Wisconsin it's the VRA and the states geography that hurt Dems.
Wow, “Both Stacey Abrams and Donald Trump, spent a lot of time undermining the (election) process”
Are you freaking serious? These two are not even remotely comparable.
Margaret seems to be trying hard to insert her own bias. She doesn't feel impartial at all.
12:17 - 12:27 Lmao, look at her. She's radiating disbelief and condescension. She isn't even pretending to be neutral here.
After a week of sensationalized "news" running on a seemingly endless loop, it's so good to view _Firing Line._ Margaret and the producers ask meaningful questions that elicit thoughtful responses regarding issues that matter.
I'm grateful for Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, as well as Gabriel Stirling. Both of these men are examples of character and integrity. They're both Republicans, yet they accepted the result of the 2020 election while resisting all that came against them in efforts to overtirn the election.
Her trying to charm the camera is distracting & she talks too much- a camera hog.- w such a wonderful guest w so much to share about what he has been through- such a courageous man that has served us so honorably
You may be projecting.
I agree with Brad Raffensperger that it takes more strength to build something up than to tear something down. I am thankful that a man of integrity like him was in charge of certifying Georgia's elections and refused to cave into the pressure being exerted by Trump.
I recently voted in Pennsylvania by mail-in ballot for the first time. I usually vote at the polls, but I was curious about using mail-in balloting. The process was quite easy and convenient, and it's good to know that this method of voting is available in my state. The most important feature of mail-in voting is the ability to track a ballot on-line. I was able to verify well before election day that my ballot had been received. It gave me peace of mind in knowing that my ballot counted in an important swing state leading into the 2024 Presidential election. Happy Blue Year 2024!!! 💙🌊🌊🌊☑
Amen to that
Agree as someone who works in manufacturing and has a long commute it certainly helps meet work obligations and being able to vote
I've cast my ballot by mail more often than not. First as a deployed service member, and now as someone who travels full-time.
It's always been safe and secure, and has gotten progressively better where I'm now able to track my ballot online.
The goal should always be to have more people; to allow their voices to be heard. Mail-on voting accomplishes just that.
Before the pandemic, four states had run elections 100% by mail. Some for as long as 36 years at that point. Voter participation is always quite good, and the results are timely and accurate with all but non-existent fraud.
These are models for the rest of the country to follow.
Fun fact: The first instance of vote-in voting occurred during the Civil War so that soldiers who couldn't travel back to their home state could have their vote matter.
Great interview. Appreciate the civility
no asking about what full interview said asking to find the 150'000 missing .
And also no motion of those missing in election court case still in court
Amen to God Brad ❤ thank you sir! We feel our help coming now! 🙏
Leave God out of this. He has nothing to do with lying cheaters like this Ratenburger.
@@lisaclark1997 Just one minor change, "It has..."
@@lisaclark1997 I too prefer if religion is left out of political discourse; however, if you would like for conservatives to give proper consideration to whatever criticism you may have, please conduct yourself as an adult. In this instance, you should properly refer to the secretary by his given surname. Otherwise, you come off sounding like an immature, disgruntled backward-ass redneck. That's just a guess, though, as someone (presumably) with a name of Lisa Clark could also be a Caucasian or African-American who identifies as a southern Democrat.
If thinks about the machinery. Why did he Tell Judge Timothy Batten to reverse Sydney Powell's court Victory against dominion to impound and audit voting machines
Which court victory are you referring to? I thought Batten granted the state's motion to dismiss that suit on 12/07/20.
@@robertmclaughlin9472 no it was late November
@@drstone3418 Is it your understanding that there were two cases before Batten because I can only find one and that's the one that Trump lost by dismissal.
@@robertmclaughlin9472 it wasn't a trump cadex it was from Sydney Powell. And on November 22 . Possible he and other judges told dismiss Trump's cases. I remember your side bragged about threatening to election officials in Michigan who wanted to double check before certifying
@@drstone3418 I'm neither a Georgian nor a Michigander. I'm very conservative (For example, my views on immigration and welfare reform are such that no Democrat would ever want me in the party.) and have supported a good many Republican candidates. However, since 01/06 I'm an "independent" and will not support anyone who insists that there was a rigged election. I resent the hell out of Republicans who dismiss fellow conservatives as RINOs only because they are opposed to Trump.
Now with that said, is there any chance you would confirm that you either read the complete transcript of or listened to the complete Trump-Raffensperger conference call?
Answer the question! Don't keep quiet, speak up. It must be torture to go through life being afraid of speaking the truth. What a disappointment. Georgia deserves better and so does the rest of America.
Down with Fascist wannabe's. See it's simple....
Stupidity doesn't fall far from your family tree does it
28,000 people cast a vote for Congress and then left the Presidential box blank. This blows my mind. You care about Congress but not the person who can veto Congress.
Although very few people out of that group probably took the following into consideration, it's worth noting that our Founding Fathers were indeed committed to checks and balances. Congress has the authority to override a presidential veto. If the issue was important enough, they wanted the will of the people to ultimately prevail. But to your point, that number demonstrates how polarized the electorate was and probably still is. They didn't trust Trump but didn't believe that Biden wouldn't protect their interests.
@@robertmclaughlin9472 did hear case Colorado. And you actually believe legitimate governments don't want questioning the process.
@@drstone3418 I'm not wanting to appear antagonistic at all but I have no idea what you mean. The first statement is an incomplete sentence. I haven't paid attention to any legal proceedings or election in Colorado. I have no idea what I've said that has prompted you to ask about governments and not questioning the process. I'll answer you, but I'd rather not guess at what you're asking.
@@robertmclaughlin9472 you apparently don't pay to any of cases you've talked about
@@drstone3418 And you apparently don't have a firm grasp of the rules of grammar and reading comprehension. I've only asked you about ONE case in Georgia. (I'd also like to remind you that you failed to respond to my previous inquiry as to whether you read the transcript or listened to the recording of the Trump-Raffensperger conference call.)
