[cheers and applause] that toe tells us everything there is a season. this is the time to heal in america. applause]d over,at this campaign is what is the will of the people. what is the mandate. i believe it is this. americans have called upon us to march to the forces of decency, the forces of fairness. the forces of science and of the forces of hope in the great battles of our time. the battle of control of the virus. the battle to build prosperity. the battle to secure your family's health care. the battle to achieve racial

harris, taking to the stage, talking about issues particularly around winning the election, the role of women, and the future.

host: again, if you want to call us this morning about vice president elect biden and his receiving of enough electoral college votes as of yesterday, .ou can do so at (202) 748-8001 if you supported others or did .ot vote, (202) 628-0205 our first call is from larry, savannah, georgia, supporter of joe biden. good morning. caller: i would just like for the trump administration to step bidenand allow the administration to get the transition team in. we have had this virus situation for too long.

just be a grown-up about it. thanks. host: a supporter of president trump, columbia, south carolina, steve is next. furious, i have been waiting for the riots from the republicans. democrats said that if they lost, they were going to burn america down. i guess we can just put that into the media disinformation pool. the last guy said something about transition. yeah, look what they did to trump during his transition. that was sweet. thanks, pedro. host: another supporter of president trump, linda, iowa, hello. good morning to linda in parkersburg, iowa. hello. eric.go to georgia, supporter of the president-elect. caller: yes, thank you, pedro.

what this has shown about the united states is how racist it is, bigotry. these people that put up with trump. this country has been suffering under slavery and what did we ever do? ,eople like you at other people able to be successful because of what black people went through under civil rights and different types of margins and things. people who came here from cuba, thought they were born in canada with socialized medicine. the: how do you expect caller: president-elect caller: to handle these issues? he said we are going to -- the president-elect to handle these issues? caller: he said he's going to

deal with them. host: a little bit more about the transition. post,"om "the washington the president-elect's team has been given government computers and office space in the herbert hoover building in washington, although most of the work is being done virtually because of the pandemic oft: again, there's more

that in "the washington post" this morning. in michigan, randy, you are next. good morning, pedro. i would like to thank you and all the men and women it takes to bring us this great program. you are doing a great service for the nation. i'm glad to see that on.sident-elect biden w with his speech he sounded like an american who had the american spirit who is willing to fight for the american dream for all of us and i hope he keeps that spirit for the whole four years, he's got a tough road to hoe -- row to hoe. host: what are the challenges he faces? caller: a divided government. i believe mr. biden can do that, he's always done it, that's just something he's known for. host: what do you mean he's always done it? caller: he's always been known

for building coalitions. he's a guy that can go into a room full of people that don't like him and convince a couple that he's willing to work for them. that's what i believe anyhow, that's the feeling i get from the man. misses harris, kamala harris, and if i mispronounced her rick name i apologize, i'm really proud of that. i have a daughter and she's just walking on cloud nine right now. thank you, let's get together and go to work, america. we can do it. host: jen, virginia, supporter of president trump, good morning. vote in that i did respect, though i consider myself an independent. i did vote for the policies under trump. however, i was very, very impressed by the speeches last night.

as the previous caller noted, they were very american sounding. i think we have a lot of work to do, but in respect to having a multiracial family, kamala harris represented that very well. voted for you say you the president's policies, what did you mean by that? caller: global policies depending the united states, standing up for the united states. in their campaign they made it seem that we would be gaining respect back. in some ways trump did some things a little bit harsh, but we did gain respect in the world . whether people like him or not. failure, buthe's a standing up for the american people he did that and i do believe that biden will do the same thing, stand up for all americans. it comes to the

president himself, do you think he should offer a concession speech at this point? caller: i don't he's able to. i really don't. it will take some time. there's a call for him to speak, we all know that. it will take some time and i think eventually he will. what i wanted biden to do last night was ask the people, if we are reaching for peace and unity in this country, he could have addressed those in front of the white house to lower their temperature. we do need to start with respect if we are going to move forward. host: we will hear from another supporter of the president in tyler, texas. good morning. know, the media seems to have totally let us down. we knew who was ahead when the voting was stopped, when we

wait to find out who the president is for four years and then we stop the count and there is a massive lead by one party, and resume the count in the middle of the night, it looks suspicious. are we going to believe a media that has been lying to us for four years on the impeachment, the russia collusion, and was on tapen biden if theyfr talking about don't fire the prosecutor, they don't get the billion dollar loan guarantee, and then getting the money from the mayor's wife in moscow, $3.5 million. not just, the media does elect the president. the state legislatures of every

state are the last determinant of where the electoral votes go. host: do you expect anything different to come from the states? well, i called my legislature and i talked to a bunch of lawyers on thursday at a party for an elected judge that i know and he is confident of all the fraud that has taken place. it's abominable. they tried to do this in 2016 and push the wrong buttons with hillary. that's why they were so upset they didn't win, they knew they were going to win. it's called that, the hammer scorecard program written by dennis thompson? .e was part of darpa that program, when they paused of the vote, when trump was wildly ahead and then everything flipped. that's what the litigation is

about. we can't trust the media that has been lying to us for four years. host: ok, you made that point already. we will let you go there. when it comes to who will possibly take the seat of senator harris, now vice president-elect harris, who represents california, politico has a story taking a look at the names possibly in contention, saying that it has become one of governor gavin newsom's guess decisions. many insiders insist that the governor wants to make a historic choice, making the secretary of state a leader contender. picked, he would become the first latino senator in the states history. the governor also has to contend with women's groups who have been -- pressuring him to fill the seat with another woman of color, putting karen bass in, high on that list. she was joe biden's, she was on

the shortlist for vice president and said recently she is keeping her options open. also, representative barbara lee has been viewed as a likely leadings well, recently in the university of southern california poll. you can find more of that story on the website of politico. gus in martins ferry, ohio. a supporter of the president-elect. go ahead. caller: i'm listening to all these trump supporters about illegal votes and fraud and everything. i'm thinking, well what is, you , is there a lot of trump supporters that filed for absentee ballots? are they going to throw those out, too? or just the biden absentee ballots that people voted for him and those are the ones that are illegal?

the ones that voted for trump are legal? before, before it even started, trump got up there and called fraud. before it even started. we knew what he was doing, right? he put up a postmaster general to slow everything down because he wanted those votes to sit there after the election day and then bring him in and call them illegal, call them fraud. this guy is a con man. anna, news go to castle, delaware, a supporter of president trump. that all can't believe the people that voted for joe , all the people that lost money into thousand eight when joe biden and barack obama was in there.

i lost $880,000. my husband just died and left me some money to take care of the kids and myself and they took, underet the bank go because they loaned money to the people that wouldn't pay the money back and i said i can't believe all the people that just forgot about it. you know? are they deliberate? they can't think from one day to the next what's going on? injob -- if joe biden gets there, we are ruined and that's permanent. the woman who is vice president, she is not worth adamma because she slept her way to the top with governor brown. part of the celebrations happening here in washington, d.c., particularly in what is known as the black lives matter concourse, you can see a lot of those celebrations going on in

d.c. and several cities across the united states and internationally as well, the associated press picking up a story based out of india waking up to the news of the election of kamala harris as vice president, overjoyed people in her indian grandfathers hometown, they set off firecrackers on sunday in a tiny village of 300 and 50 people, they were reading newspapers chatting about the victory before reading to a temple. a woman wrote in cap -- in colored powder outside her home come -- congratulations kamala harris, greetings america. that's just some of the news going on internationally. congratulations from many world leaders yesterday following what happened in pennsylvania with nevada following shown -- early after that. pittsburgh, pennsylvania, james is next. did not vote. how are you viewing these

events? caller: god bless you. i'm a full full -- i'm a first time caller. my black friends matter to me. my black family matters to me. the black people i grew up with matter to me. it's my opinion that 19 was a fake, duke, it's a political opinion. host: james, why didn't you vote? areer: put it this way, we going to go to civil war over this. there's no covid-19. political scamo like they did with the cold war and they were going to go to war with russia in green briar. ok.: supporter of president-elect biden, deborah, tennessee, go ahead. caller: good morning, pedro. host: go ahead. caller: i just want to ask the trump supporters, what happened

to all the ballots that were actually run through the sorters but not delivered to the people like they was supposed to be? are those the ballots that have been dropped off after election day? you know? he started railing about ballots before they even were started to be delivered. office jacked all that up. host: what did you think of the president-elect's victory yesterday? caller: i'm ecstatic. but he's got a lot of work to do. undoing things to make it hard for the new administration to come in and deliver on his promises.

host: such as what? has puthe has, trump unnecessary burdens on the civil servants that would be assisting developmenthe virus . the tax increases that he railed commercials latest are tax increases that were a 2017 tax code change. there are four tax increases that are scheduled to take place in the next five years. host: ok. deborah, clarksville, supporter

of joe biden, talking about what lies ahead for the president-elect. margaret, missouri, supporter of president, good morning. .aller: good morning i hardly ever call in. i'm going to call into -- i'm going to call in this morning. i'm speaking to those certain people that are black that, you know, i voted for trump. joe biden is talking about healing. let's not forget who caused the wound. obama and biden in their thenistration by spying on trump campaign. this man is a spy and he spied on the trump campaign. and he wants the presidency? they elected the wrong person. this person is the cause of all these wounds. what we went through, the russia investigation, who started that? biden. jennifer forget about [indiscernible] everybody, biden was

on tv doing that to face and calling trump a racist. we are not going to forget this. thank you. host: margaret in missouri, supporting her thoughts there. people who responded to the news yesterday of joe biden receiving enough electoral college votes to make himself eligible to become president of the united states, the story from the republicans specifically, mitch mcconnell declined on saturday to acknowledge the victory, instead pointing out to reporters a generic count all .he votes statement

wishes to thel president-elect from republicans by twitter. senator mitt romney, sending "ann and isaying sent our congratulations. we know them as people of goodwill and admirable character and pray that god blesses them in the days and years ahead." also a tweet coming from former horta governor and contender from the white house -- for the white house, jeb bush. "i have prayed for the president

most of my adult life, now is the time to heal deep wounds, many are counting on you to lead the way." roger is next in california, supporter of joe biden. high. caller: -- hi. caller: i've been waiting for a year to call in. first of all, we are all immigrants. i don't understand why people are saying that this is our country. we are all immigrants. we need to remember that. we need to have more love to keep the doors open. even the indians were immigrants. that meanwhat does for the president-elect? caller: that's a good question. , i like tont-elect the way he ran up to the stage last night.

humanness, of down-to-earth. he jokes around a lot. i like kamala harris because she, when you're talking to her, she's got this girlish way about her, she's really human. as opposed to donald trump, when he comes out, he walks like hitler's, kim jong-un, holding his arm up and he looks around at his people. you know? voted for them. i didn't send him money, i sent money to the down ballot people but i didn't spend money to joe biden. host: we will go to florida, next. one of the states closely watched in the whole process, eventually going to president trump his reelection efforts. ryan supported another candidate altogether. good morning. caller: good morning, sir.

i was a republican until 2012 and i was part of that ron paul revolution. when i saw what they did with ron paul there, i swore off the party and started voting for my youngest son with nonverbal autism, i fit -- i figured he would have less lysed to spew out. -- less lies to spew out. ask, who did may you vote for this year? caller: i filled in my son's name on the ticket. host: ok. caller: i would like to iterate a couple of little things here that i would like to make a comment on. trumphole state is country. the cuban community, the mexicans, the african americans, they were all behind trump. i don't even know how there were places that weren't. i don't thinkd,

biden has the faculties to be president. i don't know how he will be able to deal with the military-industrial context, going into more work. for seven years, trump was the only president that didn't invade a country. barack obama kept invading muslim nathan -- nations. because his dad had a guerrilla radio station. i know the democrats hold tight and never break from their party, but the fact of the matter is that with the fragrant -- flagrant fondling of children and kissing that biden does, how do you keep a straight face watching that stuff? host: ok. supporter of the president-elect, good morning. caller: thanks for taking my call. boy, i'm finally able to sleep again, thank you god for answering my prayers.

i first want to thank the very wise and thoughtful black who very early recognize that we thisd a biden to lead country again. secondly, i would like to thank all the wonderful nonracist 1 -- nonracist white people who supported biden. we will forever be in your favor. we will forever be grateful to you. in regards to that missouri woman all in black? wow. i remember malcolm x saying one that a dangerous negro league one who loves white people. o is one who loves white people. i get it. ok.: ,"om "the sunday news journal

it says "mr. president," and then turns to the home state of kamala harris. thee are just some of headlines. many more across the united states. we have gone for about a half-hour taking your calls on the president-elect and vice president-elect. we will continue to do so. you can call us on the lines, (202) 748-8001 if you support president-elect biden. (202) 628-0205 if you supported another party or didn't vote, (202) 748-8002 if you support president trump. supporter of president trump, stephen is next, hello. caller: good to talk to you. it's been many months, finally got through. yeah, i voted for trump. some people just don't

understand, you know, president trump, you know? these democrat leaders in the media mislead them all these years. we got the greatest economy i ever saw since i got out of high school in 19 evan is evan. i can only wish these kids getting out of here could get these high-paying jobs. we have a gigantic google data server farm and it's paying big time paychex with thousands of people working there on 20 something acres, 3 billion dollar expansion going on for the last four years. it's unbelievable. and we don't have that much covid cases. couple hundred. hardly anybody knows anybody that has it. maybe six or seven people we heard maybe had died. nobody knows who they are. it's just the greatest economy. racists? racist what?

over 60, maybe you saw some. i have black friends. they voted for obama the first time but then they voted for trump because they thought it was the better than hillary choice. supporter ofnext, another candidate, alabama, hello. caller: i want to make something very clear, president-elect biden made a really big public deal out of his supposed membership in the roman catholic church. we all saw him attending very histrionic lee, very much those catholic masses and holy eucharist. something needs to be made clear about the roman catholics. or inden is caller rhino, the catholic circles we call him catholic in name only. many archbishops and priests have declared that he cannot receive the holy eucharist in their archdiocese because he is

supporting abortion. that is the killing of prenatal human life. now, he's the second, if you want to call him a catholic, only the second catholic elected in the history of america as president. john f. kennedy for the record, for the record, was ardently unambiguously shamelessly proud to be pro-life and that needs to be made very, very clear. this is an outrage and this will not be taken. this is a scandal to all christians and catholics around the world. if he attempts to attend catholic mass in washington, which i presume he's going to continue to do -- host: ok. the line set aside to support others is also the line you called. you didn't vote in this last election. that's edward's case in new jersey. caller: good morning. host: you are on, go ahead.

caller: pedro, actually i did vote, i just didn't cast a vote for the republicans or democrats. host: you participated in the voting process? caller: yes. host: i'm going to stop you there, we set aside this line for purposes of letting people choose the best line that represents them. that line, supporting leather -- , if you wanthers to call in, calling on the correct line. how you do205 is that. we will go to max in maryland. supporter of joe biden. high. caller: thank you for -- hi. caller: thank you for having me on. i supported joe biden and kamala harris. that speech last night, i think they did great. that's how the president is

supposed to sound. and let me tell you this, the media got it all wrong. i think the media did a great job over the last four years. but they got it wrong. up toepublicans showed of the trump because actions that democrats took to push for ballots. think about it. all the democrats were building ballots. if they were standing in line to voting in this election was as usual, do you know how many people would have been disenfranchised by the republicans themselves? if more republicans were to vote

, millions of democrats wouldn't stand in the line. on that part they got it wrong. we should be telling the democrats thank you for pushing mail-in ballots. what the election reveals is that the fair-minded americans in this country, black, white, whatever race you are, fair-minded americans in this country are the majority in this country. some republicans voted with democrats. that is mac, in maryland. the caller, a couple back, brought up coronavirus cases. oflet you know, cases as friday, more than 100 and 32,000 new cases across -- more than 132,000 new cases.

for thembers increasing fourth straight day. to let you know the status of what's going on with the virus, which the president-elect talked about last night, in naming certain members to a coronavirus task force, more of that reportedly to be revealed tomorrow. the current president, donald trump, from illinois, this is jim. caller: can you hear me? host: you are on, go ahead. trump: i supported donald in both elections. the reason is i'm a 23 year military veteran. under the obama and biden, the va hospital was a terrible mess. i had too many friends that died because of that. trump revamped the v.a. and made it better and now my brothers and sisters can feel safe going to the va hospital. trump being a racist?

let's look at joe biden. his friend was annexed kkk -- an member and he voted against segregating schools because he didn't want the kids to be in a segregated cesspool and he called black people, super black men, super predators . host: why do you think the president didn't win yesterday, as of yesterday? caller: well, he called it. malin fraud. he did something no other president has done. be americansoud to again. host: do you think his efforts

will change the end result? caller: i hope so. all the joe biden cares about is shipping jobs to china and raising taxes. host: you saw that part of the statement saying that as of tomorrow they will continue legal efforts when it comes to the election. want to keep people talking about that, yesterday it was rudy giuliani saying just that, talking about the lawsuits. here's a bit from that yesterday. [video clip] >> the first part is a situation that is extremely troubling. first of all, for the state of the commonwealth of pennsylvania and then for a number of other states. be broughtits will starting on monday. the first time it was discovered was here in pennsylvania just a couple of days ago.

the people you see behind me are just a few of about i would say 50 to 60 poll watchers who will all testify that they were released. that they were uniformly torived of their right inspect any single part of the mail-in ballots. as you know from the beginning, the mail-in ballots were a source of some degree of skepticism, if not a lot of skepticism, innately prone to fraud. host: part of the story of the last day or so, one thing to watch out for this week, the supreme court is set to hear a case considering the future of the affordable care act. amy goldstein writing about it this morning, saying that if the supreme court decided merely

that the insurance requirement is no longer valid, the practical effect would be slim because no one is being fined anymore. the justices, if they struck down the whole law, it would far transcend any steps the trump administration took to weaken the law through executive moves. if the court struck down the full law, congress would face intense pressure to restore at least parts of it, especially .ow that's just one of the things to watch out for going on this week , in light of the president-elect's victory from yesterday. let's hear from dorothy and virginia. a supporter of the president-elect. good morning. dorothy and virginia, good morning. -- in virginia, good morning. caller: good morning.

hello, vice president joe and vice president kamala. i remember, you were always an nevertanding man and you made a difference between the white or black. you were just the same at all times. i told you when i wrote to you that you were born to win and i knew you was going to win because i was praying hard for you. i knew you was going to make a change, you and kamala. i hope you all will continue to make the change, we need it. last day of old, this summer. i will depend on you to take care of me for the rest of my life. i know what trump was going to do, my little check was going to turn out to be nothing. i thank you every day of my life that you set me up for good insurance and it will be taken

from me. host: another supporter of joe biden, new york, hello. caller: yes. i'm from new york state. host: you're on, go ahead. caller: english is my third language, i will try to simplify it. harris andof kamala joe biden was amazing, sir. joe biden says, what he says, i'm experiencing in my life right now in america, being an immigrant for 15 years. he says america means possibly this. yes, that's true. says, the power of

example. experience in the life of an immigrant. father, they kept the faith. but his mother says spread the faith. he also says i will not be, kamala harris says i will not be the last, a great thing. and joe says they are not our enemies. they are americans. that was support for joe biden from syracuse, new york. seattle, washington, jamie, hello. caller: well, good morning. first of all, coming from seattle, washington and on the

west coast, you know in the years back we were last to be counted for votes. we got in the habit of not caring so much because the east coast determined the presidency. right now being a trump education i find the on civics is waking up america. waking up people to the fact that why is one party more votes?ted in legal on theshould be united that keeps us faithful and trusting of our government, and that's the election. so, how i look at this, if we lose our faith in the fbi and we lose our faith in the elections, we certainly have lost faith in , it is the media pot

responsibility to educate americans for things they do not know. one thing is, the mail out ballots, you need, you, personally, need to have a show specifically on what is an absentee ballot. host: we have had those shows repeatedly up until the point of the election and you can go back to our website to look through that. go ahead, finish a thought. caller: it's very important to understand. they talk about the five states years.ail-in ballots for host: ok. that's jamie and seattle, washington there. for all of you who want to learn about, even in this postelection, want to go back to our website, c-span.org, that's

the repository of everything we have taken in on the election process. not only the candidates involved. we have talked plenty about mail-in voting and those issues. you can find all of that on our website. the caller was from the west coast. another west coaster going back theongress, "the voters of 50th congressional district stamp to the darrell issa's return ticket to capitol hill democrat.efeated the the associated press and others made the projection on saturday evening, with him getting 53.7% of the vote. he previously declared victory in a statement friday night saying "whether you supported me in this election or not i will work tirelessly for all that call the 50th district their home, the state of california that i love so much and for our great country."

seriouse opponent for a -- spirited campaign cone -- can see more of that campaign." you can see more of that on the "washington examiner" website. david says he didn't vote. go ahead. caller: yeah, i don't vote because my vote won't matter. it's a sad day for the people of america. you can tell there was something on the up and up here with this election, with these mail-in ballots. i think it definitely needs to be looked into. i hope they expose the fraud that was committed. because there was. i have talked to people, i had somebody who had mail-in ballots

mailed to them, to people who were dead in their family. people that voted for trump, , saying on their votes it was received and accepted and then they go back and check it later and it says that it was rejected. didn't voteid you because your vote doesn't matter, why do you hold that belief? caller: because the system is corrupt, the system is corrupt. beenadical left-wing has doing this for a long time now. it's just, it's just getting worse. ballots, theyin should not be part of the election like this. i understand we are in an epidemic, but they can go all out and rally in the streets and everything like this to make you

go out and vote. host: ok. ryan, who says he supported another candidate, go ahead. caller: pedro, think you so much for taking my call. yes, i did vote for somebody else. i have been voting for that some of the else for decades now, his name is ralph nader. probably the only man i have ever known to be honest who ran for president of the united states. if you could just hold on one second -- host: did you write it in? caller: yes, i wrote it in as i always do. host: why didn't you support how? caller: [laughter] this goes out to all of those holier than thou people who talk about the sanctity of life, but yet they can be counted on to support war in an instant. to me they sound like people who believe the sanctity of life ends as soon as a child is born, then you can start bombing them.

host: let me ask you again, why didn't you over howie hawkins? caller: i only voted for ralph nader because i know that man to be honest and that's all i would want from a leader, honesty. next.ok, kirk is he didn't vote, so he says. go ahead. caller: good morning, can you hear me? host: you're on, go ahead. caller: i did not vote for the peopleason that most shouldn't. it's an exercise in futility. the system is corrupt. everyone knew that mail-in voting was going to be the way they were going to defraud this president. born and-year-old raised in new york city black man but more accurately, israelite. it is prophesied, this country has fallen apart for the world in the exposure of the corruption that stinks to high heaven. it's naked and it's obvious. host: so you didn't vote in this

election or don't vote generally? caller: i voted twice in my life. once for david dinkins and once for barack obama. i was disappointed each time. years i voted for two black men and each one of them disappointed me. i have never liked donald trump until he ran for president. when he ran for president i knew he would be a good president. i had watched them for years declare that this country is being sold out by politicians and the world is taking advantage of us and one day he's going to run and fix it. when he met milani on phil donahue, he said he was going to make her the first lady. the press corps at the nerd festival clowned trump as if it was ridiculous that an international businessman

couldn't shepherd the country, that's basically a corporation anyway. host: ok. mary grace. green grove springs, supporter of president biden. caller: thank you for taking my call. i voted for joe biden, like he said. we need to save the soul of america. unfortunately, trump has destroyed america. he's a criminal with the coronavirus. almost 200 and 50,000 people have died, 9 million cases of covid. i can't even get a test if i want to get tested again. i got tested once by the health department. i called up again and i can't get tested. i voted for biden because he has a soul. we need to heal. trump supporters, i want to reach out the olive branch.

we need to come together. trump has not done that. he has divided us. host: you said you voted for the vice president elect because you wanted to save the soul of america. what does that mean when it comes to policy? beler: policy on covid-19 to implemented the way it should be so that people won't die. secondly, we need a stimulus package, the heroes act. people are dying. you don't hear how all these health care professionals and front-line workers are dying. it's hush-hush. when i looked it up we are up to like 1700 health-care workers that have died nationwide. and i'm sure that's underreported also. so, we need the heroes act. a, on the bill have membersnon we

of the house of representatives supported by q non--- qanon. judy, onethis is from more call, missouri, supporter of president trump. caller: yes, i'm a supporter of president trump and i thought he was a wasn't a full -- was a wonderful president. he kept us out of a lot of wars, he got us out of wars. he got the jobs out of china and back into america. you are going to see a turnaround like you have never seen before. you know? . started out as a democrat i turned republican when trump come into office. i felt like he was a very honest man and he did what he said he was going to do. you are going to go right back to the same old stuff that it .as with obama

there wasn't any employment. host: why do you think the president didn't win, this time around? caller: you know, i think it was very corrupt. i don't like the system and the way its run. i don't people should be allowed to mail in ballots or drop boxes or anything else unless they are ill. who can notarize that should be taken into their room and let them vote if they are truly disabled. if you are not military or some kind of disability or illness, i think you should be made to go to the polls. use your mobile devices, let tops or phones to follow the
