i think the side of righteousness stacey abrahams is on.ut the bigger scandal is that the courts allow such things. it very well could be the margin on of difference if 1.5% of the population is affected. this race could come down to 1.5%. and the larger picture is this. there are 24 secretaries of state who are elected. and it used to be no one even know what a secretary of state did. people would vote for -- there's this old anecdote that people told the guy running for secretary of state john foster dulles. so now it's become so political. we have a guy like kemp and in kansas we have a guy like kobeck who are going out there, being very partisan and you have a situation where one of the teams is also the referee. what do you do with that? so far the answer is nothing. and this is how little threats like this, a percentage here, a percentage there, is how a country gets a dominant preliminary party in all branches of government that is actually not in line with the people of the united states. >> and the reason they've been able to do th
