when the new republican secretary of state, the guy who replaced brian kemp when brian kemp became governor, the new republican secretary of state decided to make what even the local hometown press in georgia considered to be a very high-stakes bet. kind of an experiment, little wager here. here goes nothing. great leap for the state. an electronic voting machine company hired brian kemp's former campaign manager to be its lobbyist. and then the brian kemp administration in georgia hired that company to replace all of the voting machines in every city, town and county in georgia, all in record time, literally record time. the state had this board of evaluators that was looking at the various companies who were trying to get that voting machine contract. this board of evaluators look at the different bids from the companies and what they were offering. they did not pick the company that georgia ultimately went with. they picked a different company altogether. nope, the state administration decided they would go with the company brian kemp's campaign manager was the lobbyist for. there has ne

i'm not brian kemp. so i want to frame all of this for these reasons. malfeasance doesn't disappear. bad action doesn't disappear because it goes underground. and what happened in part was that the same structures that have been deeply problematic in the state of fda for the last decade, reared their ugly heads again then and then layer on top of it incompetence and that incompetence began with what brian kemp asset saad which brad stayed telling spite the constitutional obligation they hold to he be in superintendent of elects, meaning they're responsible for directing, training, and investing in elects, they basically decried any obligation. the said it's on the county. the constitution doesn't say that. the law gives counties certain responsibilities, but what brad did was refuse to do his job. and so counties not just the large ones like fulton and dekalb, the two largest in the state but small are october idea, republican comes, experiencing terrible results from the new machines that brad purchase at the cost o $170 million. $170 million spent on

so when it comes to exposing systemic racism, brian kemp has been whipping it out for years. is looking like a re-do of 2018 voter- suppression tactics. and like any sequel, it's a little on the nose, because stacey abrams, the democrat who narrowly lost to kemp, is my guest tonight. and when she got her absentee ballot in the mail for yesterday's election, it arrived with a sealed return envelope, and she was unable to mail it back. so not only do we have to deal with widespread voter suppression. evidentally, some weirdo going around licking people's envelopes. one crisis at a time, 2020. and with the entire world exploding in protest over racial injustice and the ongoing global health crisis, it might be easy to miss the little stories that fall through the cracks, like the presidential election. last night, we got reports of a potential bombshell thanks to a leaked zoom call with virginia democrats held by biden surrogate and man dreaming of a same tomorrow, terry mcaullife. well, this morning, fox news was pretty jazzed about their little scoop. >> fox news exclusively o

. >> georgia's republican governor brian kemp has so far stayed silent on the recent problems with voting according to the associated press. the secretary of state put the blame on local officials. even though georgia under the previous secretary of state has been notorious for making it more difficult to vote. so much so it's led to multiple lawsuits. in fact, one of the organizations that sued the state ran against kemp for governor in 2018, stacey abrams, author of the new book, and stacey abrams joins me now. it's great to have you and i thought maybe we'd start with your own story. i saw you had your own story of voting and the difficulties of it yesterday. can you tell us what happened to you? >> absolutely. so because of the pandemic, because we were encouraging people to vote by mail because that was the safest way to vote, not only for the voter but also for voters who didn't have a choice, i attempted to vote by mail. i eventually got my ballot. i filled it out and when i got ready to put it in the return envelope, it was sealed shut. i then attempted to steam it open because i

brian kemp also governor kemp also said something important about trying to de-escalate.t would be the way we would want it to work out over the summer to protect peaceful protesters and let this movement flourish as i think we're seeing the american public wanting it to in terms of the american public support. >> yeah, and keisha lance bottoms the mayor of atlanta immediately accepted the resignation of the police chief erika shields who is staying with the department but not the police chief, immediately accepted her resignation. we are looking at these pictures from earlier in the day of what happened in atlanta. you see the tear gas there. much more of our special coverage coming up. you hear that? that's your weathered deck, crying for help. while you do nothing, it's inviting those geese over for target practice. and now look who's coming to barbecue. your deck's worst nightmare. not today. today, let's stain. with the #1 rated semi-transparent stain. cause if you stain your deck today, they can't stain your deck tomorrow. behr. exclusively at the home depot. this i

to be clear, we talked about governor kemp and the reopening in georgia. there in union city you have chosen not to reopen on the scale that the rest of the state is. businesses of our that were considered non-essential, i have spoken to a number of my business owners and they have decided that they were not ready to open. there were not prepared. many of my businesses, which are small businesses, and certainly honorable men and women who scraped to do all they could to start their businesses, they don't have the financial support to be able to take care of some of the small things, such as making sure they have all the safety measures in place, such as masks or sanitizing stations and different things like that. theiraking sure that employees that work for them, that they are taking care of. an event such as cobit -- this is something that is enough those 100-year markers. certainly with cobit here, it is going to impact many cities like union city around this country of our small businesses will not have the capacity to bounce back. we have taken the app

now what jack kemp brooks it gets a. laugh that only going to kill a gun that little. list his sims understood. how close to the roof the black on black crime i went in for fun point 5000000 you know who so you address it in you know i don't want to like his son. police fight. the protest. was. looking at a search and i could tell that she was a hater i mean you just make our breaking news like look we're going to the like this. was. here you were doing this to you this big i wanted to impress probably don't even touch the machine come to my destination. was. bizarre who says pam i think it's about the ha ha me proof i proof my business may leave the door so who better to know signals from my city needs a little more than a seal a young puppy got picked up like this is necessary everybody claiming cujo today get found in a pet cemetery. the rifle was all right field was. thank you. yes. we know there. sure. are you know you are not there. last year a lot of people say are you afraid for bruce. and he always. i'm not afraid. oh you live. well you know peace that little

they're looking at brian kemp and really asking if he truly is interested in making voting accessibleany of the state's residents. because for some of them, this is just the latest example of bringing that into question. >> so, the minority vote and the african-american vote could really be pivotal in the november elections for democrats here. right? they're depending on that vote. and it seems as if whenever there is a breakdown of the voting system, it is the african-american population, it is the minority population that is largely affected. their votes are suppressed. what trouble could this spell for the upcoming elections come november? >> well, if that continues to be the case, obviously, former vice president joe biden will be affected the most. he obviously is winning with black voters. and especially those in a state like georgia. so there's real effort from the democratic party leaders in the state and beyond to do whatever they can to make voting more accessible for people of color in georgia and outside of the state, because if they don't, they ultimately could see four m

jack kemp was willing to address the issue head on. there's going to have to be a reckoning inside the republican party. some of their policies have been good for african-americans but their rhetoric has not all tuchb and their understanding is sometimes too shallow. i think the tim scotts and the people in the legacy of jack kemp need to get louder in the republican party and people like kudlow maybe could listen to them. >> when you hear what this administration is saying about systemic racism and it was kudlow and bill barr and ben carson saying there is none, trump doesn't want to drop confederate names from bases even as nascar is banning the confederate flag at events. and you've got these protests across the country. looks like we just lost the mayor's shot. so, chief alexander, let me ask you what do you think the disconnect is here? >> well, the disconnect is being in denial as it relates to the question around race and is there racism in america. and the answer to that is yes, and everybody knows that it is. and even though w

. >> what is your message to governor kemp? >> my message to governor kemp is we want to help. i don't think that this is conflicting with his order, i think it's complementary to his order. the governor himself encouraged the use of face coverings. and we're saying here that here in savannah we just think it should be mandatory, until we're able to get this beast called covid-19 under control. >> mr. mayor, as always, thank you so much, thanks for taking time for us today. and dr. dara kass is an emergency medical physician at columbia university medical center in new york and a yahoo! news medical contributor. dr. kass, how worried are you about the lack of initiative from the president and governors in arizona, texas, houston is now approaching 100% icu bed capacity. >> i'm very worried. i think this is an example of governmental leadership at the federal, state, and local level, and we see the example set forth by governors from new york, connecticut, and new jersey. sometimes it's an emotional response, not wanting to do things that are hard. in arizona, texas, my peers, e

in fact, one of the organizations that sued the state ran against kemp for governor in 2018, stacy abrams, author of the new book, and stacy abrams joins me now. i thought maybe we would start with your own story. i saw you had your own story of voting and the difficulties of it yesterday. can you tell us what happened to you? >> absolutely. so because of the pandemic, because we were encouraging people to vote by mail because that was the safest way to vote, not only for the voter but also for voters who didn't have a choice, i attempted to vote by mail. i eventually got my ballot. i filled it out and when i got ready to put it in the return envelope, it was sealed shut. i then attempted to steam it open because i watch too many mystery shows. it did not work and so yesterday i went to stand in line with fellow georgians to cast my ballot. >> it's been remarkable -- kemp has not said anything about, and the lines from the secretary of state has been -- this was on the various precincts. this was on the counties. they screwed this up. i want to read you something from the statewide voting

georgia, brian kemp. gov. kemp: hey, good morning, mr. president. i can just give you a quick update, i'll talk through this as fast as i can from starting on friday night. we have been talking to the city of atlanta in preparation to support peaceful protest but also to protect lives and the property of the citizens in atlanta and around the state of georgia. but also, we have the mindset to take strong actions against the disruptors. we had 500 guard called up and ready to support, as well as the whole thing we had in our state operations center which we activated. we had the georgia national guard, the department of natural resource team of rangers and then we used our department of corrections, department of juvenile justice, the department of community supervision, they all have certified officers. two of those have instant response teams that they use to call up for prison disruptions. and those people are really good at doing that. we had all of those teams standing by to help friday night. it became evident that apd needed our help, and we w

brian kemp as governor, brian kemp as secretary of state before this, this is a decades-long historyow up and so i am worried. i'm worried every election day that we make it so difficult for people to vote it's really almost unprecedented in any democracy in the world just how hard we make it to cast a ballot and while it is important to point out that, like, what happens at the voting booth is not the end of civic engagement, it certainly is the beginning for so many people and the idea that, like, people may not actually get to elect who they think should represent them, especially in a system like this, is really terrifying. >> seth: can you speak to the idea of felony disenfranchisement and how that is, you know, a punitive act on top of someone who, you know, does their time, for lack of a better word. you know, the ideas that you would pay back to society by spending time in prison, whether that makes sense or not. but -- >> right >> seth: then they're also punished for not being able to vote when they're out. is that something that you feel like inroads are being made? or do y

as i had to support one of the kemp initiates and that he stopped and the weeks ago actually when and if i have thought and i kill osama be it a title and calling for a cease fire so it was a political statement now i think what he says is trying to do work as try tool add some strength. you know to the suspense. supported by a military statement like this of the sitting bull the minute that the friendship and without a cease it is able to intervene militarily in libya or not it depends what kind of interventions are we talking about if we're talking about diet a minute that intervention. i think this is dorothy under he's unable to expect that the moment egypt. has many see the us national security challenges facing them the moment including going top of them. build think of. if you get in a sense. which fit into that world of supplies to egypt and that's when also ceases fighting a war with that months that act in sinai for many years and has not been able to induct war against isis either. and there and i've also said the c.c. is facing many c.d.'s economic challenges and also give

replacement is someone who has also been an so i am less sanguineppression. about the notion of brian kemp being the rson who picks the replacemt for brad raffensperger, which is how the system in georgia works. yes, there were mistakes made by counties, but every single county is thepoibility of the secretary of state when it comes to the administration of elections. and let's be clear. it targeted black and brown communities. they were the least likely to be resourced. they had the longest. they had the greatest trouble. but in the speaker of the house's district, there were counties that also faced this. republican rural count suburban mixed counties across the state.mp his inence harmed everyone because when you break the machinery of democracy, you break it for everyone. >> so, leader abrams, how is this problem going to be fixed by nember? >> well, there are a few things one, and that's where the incompetence comes in. he spent $400,000 in federal elections assistance money, doing an advertisement about how smart he was for picking these new machines. 1,600 poll workersid for on elec

to be clear, you talked about ve governor brian kemp and the reopening in georgia. rest of so, there in union city, you have chosen not to reopen on the scale that the rest of the statn is. >> well, i'll tell you, many of our businesses that were considered nonessential -- i've spoken to a number of my prepa business owners, and they have decided that they weren't ready to open. they weren't prepared, you know. many of my businesses, which are small businesses, and certainly honorable men and women who worked and scraped to do all to they could to start their businesses, they don't have the financial support to be able tol take carel of some of the smals things, such as making sure they have all the safety measures in place, such as masks for customers and sanitizing station and different things like that,t but even making sure that the e employees that work for them, e thatsu they're taken care of. so, certainly, when an event such as covid -- and you know, s this is something that is one of those 100-year markers, you ount know. certainly, with covid here, it is g

also want to say this, this is becoming more political because the kemp has released a statement supporting officers and how we should be giving them more credit for the work that they do on a day if day basis. and one more fact here, i was talking to a veteran police officer in the atlanta police, an african-american male, a dad of three kids, and he was telling me that his daughter came to him last night and said dad, i want you to be one of the good guys. and he said it broke his heart because he told his daughter that is why i got into 24 job, to serve the people in the city before and he said that it broke his heart that even his own kids is being touched by all the news that is around here painting officers in a bad light. >> yeah, that is heartbreaking indeed. ryan young reporting for us in atlanta. thank you. let's get more, joining us is don lemon and also joey jackson. joey, let me play for you that clip from my interview in the last hour with the district attorney, paul howard, in atlanta. listen. >> i think that it is clear that we are not asking for the death penalty. we simply
