we are following the law in georgia. has been going on for 50 years and that's why we have record number of people on the rolls, 7 million people that have correctly filled the form out and she's blaming me for a few that couldn't do that or they simply don't exist. 14% of these people are held over from 2014 when she accused me of doing something, we went to court and we won on all 10 counts. >> out of fairness to other panelists, they have questions as well. we are going to continue. 30 seconds. >> first and foremost, in 2014 with -- what the judge said he did not acquitted mr. kemp, that's because in the state of georgia you are not required to timely process applications and it's very misleading to suggest otherwise. but the larger issue is this, online voter registration works in community that have broadband, going back to question, i would expand access to rural broadband, you can't get access to cell phone or to a computer. >> thank you very much. we will continue with frank maloy. >> this would be for all of you

this is the to me georgia second largest city situated on the black sea coast. no other georgian city better represents the country's aspirations to join europe. during the nearly ten years that president mikheil saakashvili was in office his administration invested heavily in development projects today but to me seems like a cross between dubai and me. when georgia was part of the soviet union these beaches drew crowds of workers on vacation it was a chance to get some sun forget their heads for a while. today the tourists and queue turks armenians and azerbaijanis. many of the visitors especially the turks are drawn to the casinos which are banned in turkey. many older georgians prefer to play dominoes card games or nobody a game that's like backgammon and dates back centuries. ago both more got a career on earth get used to the just getting there don't have much money to bet so they keep their wages low words but even i can afford to play. all day long virtually the job i would have thought georgia goes to attract a lot of russian tourists but tensions betwee

the visitors are young russians. on a way to cut kitty region in eastern georgia the area is famous for its minions. this road leads through many small villages and each produces its own variety of wine. georgia is one of the world's oldest wine growing regions. wine stored in these earthenware vessels is drunk only on special occasions. the today they're celebrating the opening of zura sees new wine factory artificer. syrup used to export wine to russia but after the war wine sales were suspended until twenty thirteen home on. the the air. but the wine embargo turned out to be a blessing in disguise the reviews that time to improve his wine production methods so he could start exporting to europe. this high tech equipment was imported from france and italy. europe now makes better wine and. he's expanded his export market. very happy with the way things have turned out and the russian market is open again with. the rich articles we've bought a lot of money into this new facility. the wind meets russian standards but more importantly it meets european standards as well. we produce a quality product h

the dawn of islamism an exclusive d.w. report starts october eighteenth. georgia a region coveted by russia and a country that wants to join europe. i definitely want to be a part of europe culture of the game itself economically as well. georgia's objective is clear and most people the agree with it for your own good. entrepreneurs like that idea. person is not like first join some club and then improve life for me it's more all they do or becoming like europe. this is the to me georgia second largest city situated on the black sea coast. no other georgian says he better represents the country's aspirations to join europe. ten years that president mikheil saakashvili was in office his administration invested heavily in development projects today but to me seems like a cross between dubai and needs. when georgia was part of the soviet union these beaches true crowds of workers on vacation it was a chance to get some sun and forget their cares for a while. today the tourists and queue turks i mean eons and. many of the visitors especially the turks are drawn to the

of the georgia state flag -- which the then governor of georgia was trying to get rid of and later kempould also push to get rid of. so this s is a non-controversy. the abrams cap has done quite a good job as this has erupted of saying, no, this is not what it seems. in fact, this was about makingg georgia more democratic, more fair, and less racist for citizens of the entire state. amy: in fact, stacey abrams has probably set in her response that she stands by what she did. she does not consider this an expose, ththat that action helpd lead to the removal of that version of ththe georgia flag tt was largegely the confederate flag. >> absolutely. if this is the biggest controversy that abrams is facing, then, i mean, whwhat do you have? this woman is squeakaky clean.n. she isis fighting for the rights for r democratic rights, for the expansnsion of enfranchisement r legal citizens. so t the idea she would be burng a flag, o oh, shocker. but it turns out the flag she was burnrning was an unjnjust f, a segregationist flag, that generally the political class in georgia was united aroround

it's what he has done all over the state of georgia. but our campaign is grounded in the belief if we tell people they have power and show them how to use it, they will use it and we will win this election. >> how do you thread that needle to alerting people of the dangers and letting them know don't leave without at least casting a provisional ballot. bring your id. if anybody tells you you're not registered -- how do you steel people for the kinds of suppression they may fight, fight against those suppressive efforts, but also not contribute to that miasma you describe, that fear that may ener invate people. >> i've been fighting brian kemp on voter suppression for more than four years. it was my organization, the new georgia project that helped bring to light his problem in 2016. we submitted so many applications that were held unlawfully that we were able to pull together a coalition, fight him in the courts and win. and so what i tell people is this. we've won before and we will win again, but we beat him first by making sure that t

the whole me. in one key in russia and georgia the current prime minister momo kirby studs a said the other day that georgia intends to be a member of nato once the circumstances allow or do things like that are conducive to that reconsider process that you're dreaming of course of course not and you know there was a time before to cells and eight when i was once that advocates of georgian membership in nato and i had my own not a few months is that time but. eight changed absolutely situation on the ground and political should take into account the reality which is on the ground which had been change and you can say the same what you are saying ten years ago right now we have russian military bases on georgian territory. what will happen if you will even imagine that one day georgia will be a member of nato it means a georgia will be do i do it in two parts this is absolutely acceptable now since dimension they are already i think it's clear that nato. figures front and center in russia's relations with both georgia and the ukraine and that is partly the reason what happened to those countries of r

and the literary strength of georgia. is it possible to tell a tale backwards. has done it the result is the novel of the year for twenty eighteen . the year my housekeeping i am sure. i am currently written on her face. for the first time in five years the german prize has been won by a woman in there maria mata she is an author who pushes her limits physically psychologically and economically a plastic now i don't know if it's the price simply buys me time i've written for novels and nine years so i just scratch them down one after the other i'm not on them this gives me time to do research completely in piece collect my thoughts completely in piece and then writes completely at peace. time is also a major thing in archipelago the novel spans an entire century on the island of ten a reef it's told from the perspective of three families of differing social classes from the porch was see to the servants. because mother comes from tenerife for the right or the canary islands a like a second time. is on the obvious it was a kind of european playground during the co

the symbol is no longer on the georgia flag anyway. i mean, look, i don't think this is going to be relevant to most people. and i don't know -- i don't know what kemp's position on the whole thing is, but at the end of the day, she has a first amendment right to engage in any kind of free speech she wants. and i just -- i don't think most people are going to take issue with somebody who happens to oppose the confederacy. they lost. the union won, and that's where -- >> and get over it. as a son of the south, i'm like, could we please get over this? they lost. okay. so listen, let's talk about, this is a very important story we want to talk about. voting rights, a big deal in this race. the issue is kemp's enforcement of a rule known as the exact match rule. now, this rule requires names on voting rolls to precisely match names in other state records, okay? so according to the associated press, of the 53,000 voters put on hold through this process, 70% of them, african-americans. here's what kemp said when he was asked if he is suppress

right now,urricane warnings into the middle of georgia. at the numbers, this is the strongest hurricane t hit georgia since 1898. i mean, incredible, 120 years, not seen a category 3 hurricane. that's where it is right now, moving into southwest georgia. looking now at the maps where the storm is. first off, look at thisuya firestone te in panama city. this is not the beach. panama city beach, west of the area did not get into the eye wall, but this area of panama city was in the eye wall of the storm for a number of hours, and i have seen building after building looking just like this. that is definitely consistent with major hurricane damage, and they continue to see that storm making its way up towards the north. here it is here enoughing through the panhandle into georgia. look at the eye. extremely well-defined, and, look it fills its in. what's that mean? that means the storm is weakening, and that is good news here, but, still, not weakening fast enough that getgia's not hard. here's the storm here. you can also see the eye filling i

he says that the period when georgia was. parts of the soviet union damaged georgian society today georgians are still living with the consequences deeply ingrained in every family history. that's why i made my character sagal such a man the son of core opted for the soul richard or economy it was and from mars or side for a quick mission. the son of the rich and ruth and i gave him with this very heavy in harry teach which he has to. carry all his life and fight with these. the elephant of the south is the story of his generation one time after a public reading a young girl came up to him and find him now she understands why her uncle is such a drinker and why her neighbor is the way he is. i think if you will be peace will be slain somehow step by step through it they were low power to say it because i see people i see by to be very very more open minded they are more colorful very rigorously for him to be very more free than we are my dear a ship has their local complex we carry all our life. today georgia is striving hard

the georgia association of elected latino officials and the new georgia project and the pro-georgia state table inc. these are georgia organizations. this is not outside groups coming in. these are people representing really the 1.2 million georgians who have been scrubbed off the rolls over the course of brian kemp's term. >> yes. we need to look at also how cynical this georgia legislation is. right? when you say the exact match law, i don't think people always understand just how bad this is. all right? so exact match means your information has to match exactly what the state has on your, about you. right? if there's a discrepancy, that means you can't vote. if i'm listed as living at city field, a good place to live because you don't play baseball. the state listed at shea stadium. i can't vote. >> right. >> for newer americans, the naming conventions are particularly important. like newer americans have different naming conventions than, you know, anglo-saxon came on the mayflower people. >> right. >> so my name, go by dwayne ka maurch cha, i can't vote. the lawsuit should work but r

the great state of georgia opened the polls to start early voting as of yesterday. here's the headline in "the atlanta journal constitution" -- "turnout soars on the first day of early voting in georgia." in the last midterm election in 2014, so four years ago, on the first day of early voting, about 21,000 people voted. yesterday, look at this, over 69,000 people voted. that's an apples to apples comparison with the last midterm. over 69,000 people cast an in-person early ballot in georgia yesterday, compared to 21,000 on the same day in the last midterm. that's more than triple the number of people four years ago. that number is super high, even though some voters experienced the kind of hurdles we have come to expect, particularly this year in georgia. including people in cobb county waiting in line for more than two hours to cast their ballot on the first day of early voting yesterday. but people did wait in those lines. people did get out and vote by the many tens of thousands, record numbers. actually, when you add in the ballots that were mailed in, so it's b

i thin it enters georgia as category 4. that could be the strongest storm to hit georgia after moving into florida. take a look, first off, this ie down around panama city beach area where they got h very, very hard. the eye of the storm moving off -- l t aoohetny leaves left. they are stripped as far as the trees were concerned from the high wis, but you notice now, the winds have really subsided.s this storm i moving fairly qukly, about 15 miles per hour right now. take a e'look, and wll show you where the storm is. michael made its way on ld at 1:30 this afternoon. that eye becomes well-defin here, and we knew right away this thing was approaching category 5s staen it made a donut hole like it did. now it's in the panhandle into southwest georgia and alabama. those areas also under hurricane warnings. the latestadvisory, we'll get these hourly now since it's on lands. 140 miles per hour winds, moving to the north, northeast at 15 miles per hour. that's fast for a tropical storm system, picking up speed moving north and east. 100 miles per

the old georgia state flag, burning before her. rams' campaign saying her actions, while a student at spellman college, were part of a permitted peaceful protest. 11 years after the protest, the confederate battle flag emblem was removed from the state's flag but the raw emotions of that debate still linger. >> i love that flag. i still do. >> reporter: the episode surfacing with two weekends until election day in one of the most hotly contested races in the country, splitting an ar sharply divided electorate. >> i was pretty distraught that somebody that i knew was dishonest and is running a dishonest campaign would have done something like that even though it was in her younger years. >> i think that burning the flag is a sign of protest and i think we have a right to protest, and each person has that right to do that. as far as stacey abrams, i think she'll make a fantastic governor. >> stacey abrams. >> reporter: georgia's heritage, a recurring theme in this race. abrams, who would be the first black female governor in the count

here is the radar as we go forward in time. georgiagets soaked as we go through the overnight hours. we will see anywhere from four to six inches of rain, possibly higher depending on where the rain bands set up, which is very hard to predict ahead of time. but wherever those set up, that's where we will see localized flooding and higher amounts of rain. then this is going to push into north and south carolina. it is still going to have the winds and we're going to have a lot of rain with this. not like florence, because florence just sat there. this is going to get out, but we are still going to see a lot of water across the carolinas, a place that is still seeing high river levels even a couple of weeks after florence. so look at this. that's your swath of rain. four to six inches, possibly six to ten in isolated amounts, wolf. this is far from over. we are still going to see a lot of wind and rain inland. >> yeah, it is moving quickly. jennifer gray, thank you very much. >>> cnn's brooke baldwin is along the florida gulf coast for u

let's remove in the georgia flag what divides the people of georgia and not go back to the time of racismof which we fought for a long time to end. ultimately that battle she had in 1992 was successful because the people of georgia came together to remove that symbol out of the georgia state flag. >> what's your take, congressman, of what's happening in georgia with these absentee ballots? >> again, it seems to me that what some of the republicans are trying to do in georgia is go back to some ugly times where you prevent particularly african-americans from having the right to vote and rtrying t purge people from the voting records. it's similar to the times at which you had to count how many marbles were in a jar, things of that nature, as opposed to doing whatever we can to let as many people as possible vote, it seems as though my republican colleagues particularly in georgia is trying to limit the people from voting. i don't know why they got fierce of allowing their citizens to vote and let, as a democracy it's supposed to be, let the one who has the most votes win. they are fearful

leader in the history of the georgia general assembly. uthored eight romantic suspense novels. under the pen men selena montgomery.

this is the debate between candidates for the georgia 6th congressional district. we will not go back to the panel to ask questions to the candidates. until we run out of time. ask a question and offer a rebuttal when appropriate. >> i want to follow up on the issue that congresswoman handel raised. could you clarify what happened with regard to you taking allegedly a homestead exemptions into different counties in georgia the same time? ms. mcbath: some time ago we had a family tragedy. sure i waso make helping my husband make the decision to needed to make, very personal decisions we had to make, i decided to switch my residency while i was traveling on behalf of the democratic party. i changed it to tennessee for 2016 at 2017. i switched it back. i have lived in georgia since 1990. i have diligently paid taxes for every year i have lived here. >> recently cobb county provoked that exemption because it was an improper homestead exemption. she just said again twice she did indeed live in tennessee for two years while taking a homestead exemption increased -- in eas

about brian kemp and georgia lieutenant governor casey cagle. i also want to turn to the republican senator david perdue of georgia who was captured on video saturday as he snatched a cell phone out of the hands of a constituent who asked about republican gubernatorial candidate brian kemp, who perdue was stumping for. senator perdue is on the campus of georgia tech in atlanta to -- when a student tried to ask them about his endorsement. >> how can you endorse a candidate -- that is our property. give me my phone back. amy: senator perdue returned the phone after the student demanded it back. on sunday, perdue's office called the incident a misunderstanding, saying the senator thought the student wanted to take a selfie with him. professor anderson, if you could comment on this? and as we wrap up this discussion about georgia, who is voting right now? in some states, there is no voting takaking place. what is happening in georgia? >> first on senator perdue. remember, senator perdue is the one who opened one of those christian breakfasts by praying by quotingdeath, left a

now, that said, look, i don't know all the facts of the case in georgia. i can't comment on that. studied you know elections in the past. and there is no question and i this is where liberals run into problems here. we do have a problem with voter fraud in this country. >> steven, there's no study that shows that according to the brennan center for justice. >> don. >> voter fraud is "extraordinarily rare." >> i disagree that. >> studies show noncitizen voting is vanishingly rare. others debunked the claim that millions voted illegally voted in 2016. >> we have evidence of dozens. >> voter fraud panel disbanded because they could not prove anything in court. if facts matter. >> if that's the case, how come there are scores of counties where in some cases you have more people voting than people registered to vote. we know this kind of thing happens. we know there's voter. >> maybe it's a clerical error. >> that you have more people voting in the county than people registered to vote? that means a lot of people who are not properly registered are voting. here's the question i would p

now, the republicans have large majorities in the georgia house and the georgia senate, so it's unlikely that democrats can win back the majority. they may gain seats in georgia but this governor's race has a big impact on redistricting. >> the next call is from pennsylvania. >> pennsylvania is a state that's also been in court over partisan gerrymandering. there is a case that was justice kennedy's first big case on partisan gerrymandering. the court has addressed this question twice now. in that case, justice kennedy was very interesting. that's what teed up the wisconsin case 10 years later. this was in 2007. that was a congressional map and the republicans had control of that map and drawn a map that complied with the law and was upheld in the court on voting rights grounds but was, certainly, an advantage to the republicans. so justice kennedy is the swing vote. 5-4 decision and says, gerrymandering might be unconstitutional, but this is not the case. 10 years later they bring in the wisconsin case. once again, gerrymandering might be unconstitutional, but we are not ready to declar

on the georgia story. this from the associated press. they write that in terms of reregistering, a woman tried to reregister and had about a month left before the election, her application is one of over 53,000 sitting on hold with the georgia secretary of state brian mp's off is, and -- brian ke office, in many people may not know that their voter registration has been held up. and that secretary of state is the candidate for governor -- the republican candidate for governor. guest: those on hold doesn't exactly match the identification provided. voter registration is notoriously a refills -- filled with errors. there are a lot of issues with requiring the exact match. host: sam in a, maryland, who always votes. caller: i am a second year law student. i always have voted. one of the things i studied in my undergrad degree was judicial elections, and how very few people participate. it begs the question of whether it is a democratic contest. same thing with the midterms. when you only have 40% or less of the eligible electorate turning o

the storm is still pushing across portions of georgia. u can see some of the strongest winds right around albany right now. the worst is not over for you. tallahassee is on the backside. we have gotten some very strong winds there, some very, very heavy rain, but that is going to be in the clear before too long. the storm is moving very, very quickly, and so a lot of these places will experience these very-strong winds and then it will be over within, say, half an hour or an hour. so that's the good news, but the bad news is the storm is still very, very powerful. this is still a category 3 storm with winds well over 100 miles per hour. so we're still going to get the very strong winds and the heavy rains all across georgia and the carolinas throughout the overnight. in fact, there's a tornado warning right now in the atlanta metro area, just a couple of miles south of downtown. that's what we're going to see, tornado warning will be popping up with this. it is very common with tropical systems. so if you're in the atlanta area, definitely

brought to you from the studios of georgia public broadcasting. this is the race for the sixth congressional district. welcome. you are watching the atlanta press club loudermilk young debate series. the debate among candidates for georgia's congressional district six. it covers portions of atlanta, johns creek, sandy springs. let's meet the candidates. karenhabetical order, handel, a republican was nominated to represent the sixth congressional district in a special election in 2017. and lucy mcmath is a national andesperson for gun safety demanding actions for guns. let's meet our panelists. john richards is a reporter. multimedialz is a journalist in atlanta. let's start. the roles of today's -- the roles of today's debate are on the website. to celebrate -- to start, each candidate will be asked one question. handel, iswoman want to ask about the trade war. how is it working out in the sixth district for your constituents? >> thank you for this opportunity to be here, and thank you lucy for being here. i think everyone would agree that, especia

the georgia flag.as a freshman in college in 1992 when this happened. it's important to point out what she was protesting at the time was the state flag of georgia, which at the time had the confederate battle flag included in its design. in a statement from her campaign, she is standing by her actions from 25 years ago. let's talk about this. and nia, we should point out, that flag that she burned was established in 1956 and in the thick of a democratic governor at the time standing against integration efforts. so it's a flag that was meant to stand against black people. >> you sort of saw this throughout the south, right? kind of the resurrection of the confederate flag, putting them on the domes of the capital. to me it's not surprising you're doing this and protesting the flag. when i was a kid, i marched on the capital with my dad against the confederate flag. and it turns out that, you know, she was in some ways ahead of her time. >> are you from georgia? >> no, i'm from south carolina. so i was

which unbelievable for a democrat to be tied in the polls in georgia, yu. >> if the browns have won by two points today, which is how much brian is ahead of stacy in georgia, they would have won. so the clear politics average is kemp two points ahead. >> with a margin of three. if he had led the same game where they were tied, they would not be the winner. i understand. we do our shows often so he holds his point of view. the fact is this is an amazing statement within itself. the people of georgia have matched stacy abrams with brian kemp. and all of a sudden we have these holes on over 50,000 voter registrations by her opponent. >> she's an ivy league educated woman and qualified. if the gender and racial dynamics were different she would be cruising into the governor's mansion right now. she does have an nra rating of "f" because many democrats and many people around this country are tired of mass shootings that are happening every day, so much so, they're not even making the news. stacy abrams is represent ing a very specific wing of the democratic. we've never seen it in the south

and the hurricane still tearing at path at this hour. they are bracing in georgia and the carolinas. and abc's steve oi is i maicon, georgia, tonight. >> reporter: more than 50 miles from the coastline, the winds from this hurricane are still so furious that homes are being ripped apart and big trees are falling tonight. over roads and across power lines. this one was recorded on a home security system. >> it was terrifying, honestly. a lot of noise. i mean, we thought the win dopes were going to break at any time and we did whatever we could to hunker down and try to wait it out. >> reporter: for the first time, areas far inland are seeing a real hurricane. tornado warnings are up tonight in georgia, where they worry they'll see more scenes like this one. >> we're not accustomed to the magnitude of a hurricane such as this hitting in the direction that it is traveling and with the intensity which it will hit our states. >> reporter: the last major hurricane to track into georgia was in 1898. here's just one of the small armies of utility crews ready to move in. >>

i made the decisions and switched it back. since lived in georgia0 and diligently paid taxes for every year i lived here. ,ep. handel: if i may recently top county revoked the homestead exemption for the , and she has just said twice that she did indeed live in tennessee for two years while taking a homestead exemption. that is not proper, nor legal. mrs. mcbath: i have no idea what representative handel's talking about. i made the decisions i needed to make an 2016. in 2017 i switched it back. for her to continue to dampen the confidence of people in this said, she will do or say anything. rep. handel: i would be delighted to show you that letter after the debate. >> ok. this is for both candidates. why did each of you believe you represent the needs and wants of women more than the other candidate? congresswoman, would you like to start first? rep. handel: i reject the premise of the question. ed is not about representing the interests of women only in the sixth district. it is about representing the people of the sixth district. have worked dilig

kemp, you are very aware that i know the laws of georgia when it comes to voting. in fact, i am one of the most foremost experts in the state. i have never in my life asked for that. i have asked you to allow them to cast their ballots. we took you to court in 2016 and a federal judge said you illegally cancelled 34,000 registrations. you used the same system that's under dispute right now. >> i'm joined by dale ho, director of the aclu voting rights project. there's a policy thing happening here in georgia. there's a fascinating personal story, these two people have been facing off on this issue way before this election happened. >> that's right. >> right? >> that's right. it's been a really interesting dance leading up to this election where you have the person who's been in charge of elections for years now being a candidate. and reaping the benefits of all of the manipulation and all of the voter suppression he's engaged in for years. since 2012, he's been responsible, brian kemp, for 1.4 million registration cancellations. most recently, we found out there were
