sounds like mississippi and alabama. so many of the other states, southern states where there is this determined effort to keep from becoming registered voters. well, let me say this, that if the right to vote, which is a basic civil right, is prescribed both by the constitution and by statute, i think there can be no one to impede that. but i'm confused over what you turn to be basic constitutional rights, which would give the federal government authority to direct private business under what section of the constitution would you say that could be done? well, i think it could be done under several sections, but i would like to see it on the 14th amendment, which says that no state has a right to deny an individ equal protection of the law. and every state has a responsibility, has the authority to these businesses licenses to operate. and the fact that this is done by the state means these businesses at that moment forfeit the right to with individuals any way they please, must be under the scrutiny and under the direct

our next call is from andrew in alabama on the independent line. hi. caller: yes. i was wondering, what's stopping all states from counting their electoral votes like maine and nebraska where it's gone by congressional district nevada a winner take all vote? guest: great question. and this is where it's really helpful to keep in mind that we think we're running a national election for presidency but we're not. we're running 51 independent elections and they're different by states about ballot access, about how long polls stay open, early balloting. every variable out there, according to how states run their elections, are decided by the states. and the states you mentioned, maine and nebraska, have decided that they're going to allocate their electoral college differently. where it's by congressional district rather than a winner take all system where if you get the most votes in your state, you win. and so we might see a movement towards that direction to kind of give more states some flexibility or at least create more buy-in for voting where they don't already k

caller: my biggest concern about the certification -- he brought up a point about 2016 in alabama. one member had concerns about interference and i want to say i feel 90% of republicans have not taken the information about the recent trial of alexander smirnov and i suggest all of them who believe democrats are lying look up those facts. and also i believe it is disgraceful they feel democrats are lying more. if you go to trump's financial scheme, he was clearly working with putin in russia in 2016. just the lies told about the "biden crime family" and everything, you have to look up this alexander smirnov trial and come to grips with who you feel is really lying. guest: we are at a weird point in history of where your average american is not particularly politically polarized. they tend to look at each party with a little suspicion and often hold their nose and vote for one or the other when they have to, but there is a portion of the population divided into a kind of redshirts versus blue shirts and they have a remarkable ability to look at reality and filter fact in ways that fi
