DO NOT BELIEVE THE PHONY MEDIA REPORTS AFFIRMING TRUMP LOSS! NOT A RECOUNT, AN AUDIT!Thousands of more votes cast by mail than mailed-out. Thousands of voters casting ballots in two different counties. Election computers not updated and left vulnerable to remote access. Election workers accessing the internet in violation of state law. Election officials purging computer information just hours before turning over materials to the audit. The 2020 Presidential Election in Arizona was corrupt and should be de-certified. The remedy would be to hold a new vote. This is the blueprint for all the swing states. Graham Ledger speaks with Arizona Senator Kelly Townsend about what happens now after the overwhelming mountain of election fraud in the Grand Canyon state.

In the months preceding the 2020 elections, NYU Professors Erica Foldy and John Gershman were concerned about voter turnout. The country continued to reckon with one crisis after another—from the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic to persistent demonstrations against racial inequity—and the ballot box would be a powerful opportunity for Americans to respond. But would voters show up on election day? And even more alarmingly, would those who want to vote even be able to? The solution, Erica and John realized, was to mobilize organizers who could educate and empower America's electorate—and who better to mobilize than their students at NYU? And so began the university's VOTE 2020 Fellowship.From the summer preceding the elections to the senatorial run-offs in January, the VOTE 2020 Fellowship partnered NYU students with grassroots organizations that champion voting rights. Erica and John secured funding from the university provost to support the students, and then, like matchmakers, paired students with organizations that could utilize their talents. In total, thirty-two fellows partnered with nearly ten organizations around the country—they taught constituents how to use mail-in ballots, advocated voting accessibility for people with disabilities, challenged the discriminatory use of A.I. intelligence, and worked to prepare election sites for the logistical challenges of a pandemic.“By the People, For the People: The VOTE 2020 Initiative'' chronicles this experimental fellowship through one student, Maya, and her two partner organizations, Mi Familia Vota and Detroit Action. As Maya encountered, the challenges to voter access are often historically complex, politically weaponized, and contrary to the principles of democracy they're meant to uphold. But just as elites can erode the foundations of democracy, so can everyday people uphold them. And “By the People, For the People” examines what happens when these everyday people—like Erica, John, Maya, and Carlos, a lifelong advocate and organizer—take ownership of their democracy.

Are you an active voter in your country? Do you believe that voting and civic engagement still matter or make a difference? This week we're joined by Priscilla Barbour Randle and Imani Daniel to discuss the 2020 U.S. presidential elections, voting, the Black community, and why voting this year might be the most important thing we ever do. We also reflect on the last four years, how things have changed, and our honest thoughts on the democratic ticket, civic engagement, activism, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

This week we addressed the following questions:How do you feel about Biden picking Sen. Kamala Harris? And do you have any strong feelings about her career and political background - especially since it was good enough to have gotten her elected multiple times in her past (District Attorney 2X, Attorney General 2X, then the US Senate) ? - 00:10:28How much does the VP pick normally weigh on your decision of who you vote for? Is that different this year? - 00:36:22Commercial Break: Please call your congressperson and demand that they keep the Postal Service fully funded and functioning (number below) and our Patreon will be available soon for supporters to show love -00:49:55Do you think there is the same energy around all the first she will become (Female VP, Black VP, Asian VP, HBCU graduate to be VP, Divine 9 member to be VP, etc) like there was with Barack Obama in 2008? Why- why not? - 00:51:59Some feel more people than normal have been more vocal about her faults, especially on social media, then they have been over any candidate in the past (that they will likely still vote for) or even the current president? Do you think that is because of her gender and ethnic background only or other reasons? - 01:03:31Thanks again for tuning in!Please call and put pressure on your congressmen to keep the USPS running, complete your 2020 Census, register to vote, and get all the voter information for your area with the links below: Census 2020 - Ways to respondUSA.gov (Official government site)Vote.org The congressional phone number to reach your congressmen (they will forward you after you give your address): 202-224-3121

The Georgia Politics Podcast crew is BACK after a few weeks off quarantining. Well, half back. They're still maintaining appropriate social distances so while not back in the studio, they manage to catch up on the latest and greatest in Georgia politics via a Zoom call and Facebook Live. Due to technical difficulties we join the discussion after some initial introductions and pleasantries and jump right into the Joe Biden sexual assault allegations and what that could mean for Stacey Abrams in her quest to be his running mate. Also on the show the panel discuss the latest on mailed ballot requests and what the precedent could mean for November and the upcoming resumption of the legislative session. The crew ends the show with some positive, non-coronavirus news and some listener questions. Thanks for tuning in - and we'll see you again soon!
Young people are often lectured by older generations on why we should vote and blamed for undesired election outcomes. But what is the true benefit of voting in a system that consistently does not work for marginalized communities, and how should we navigate it when the candidates and ballot measures aren't good enough? Join Kési Felton, Founder of Better to Speak, in episode one of The Podcast as we explore those topics and the journey of the Black vote more broadly.----Find Better to SpeakTwitter | Facebook | Instagramwww.bettertospeak.orgSources:Selma, Alabama Marches (1965)- Historic FootageSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/better-to-speak-the-podcast/donations
