the state level.ia was one of the -- i think i'm right in saying, one of the first states to hold a ballot measure in 1789. this has been around for a long time. >> do any states have ballot measures relaxing >> i'm not aware of relaxing standards of child labor. it has been a thing that has made its way through some state legislatures especially in ohio, florida -- i will blank on the rest of the states. relaxing some standards on child labor has -- has made it through . >> which states don't allow ballot initiatives and why? >> on the east coast mostly -- the midwest and the south. a lot of it is history. the progressive era ushered in, especially the modern idea of ballot measures, as ways to influence public policy. people like hiram johnson was a big supporter of direct democracy. and a lot of states adopted those rules early on. eastern states typically solidify their political identities 100 years before that when voting on a ballot measure or when voting on anything was a big deal. we have ele

like the secretary of state in some states. it's the chair of the state political party. in some states, there's convention and. in some states, it's campaign chair of that candidate who's running for office. so here's the odd thing about the system. you go to vote november and names of these electors not on the ballot. that's who you're voting for. but their names are on the ballot. you probably don't know who they are. but in pencil, virginia, there were 20 elector orders who were elected on election day in 2020. those 20 were selected by the. who won the popular election in state. and so that's way we do it in pennsylvania in this this method of selection of the electors is going to become important in refereed to whether the incoming president in 2020 donald trump had any role to as an incumbent in terms of selection of electors. so we'll get to that at the end of this discussion. but the electors is then per federal law meet in their respective state capitals and as even now that's control all then the actual meeting by state law. so in some states like michigan for

basically the administration of elections is conducted by states, at the state level. so you have 50 different states plus the diff trick -- district of columbia all of which are , running elections in somewhat different manners. that's as authorized by the constitution. the federal government, congress, can enact laws to trump the states efforts, state laws. but if it doesn't come of the default is that the states are in charge. that's very significant as we will discuss in a couple of minutes. so what are the constitutional amendments that we've had since the constitution was adopted in 1787? we are all familiar with the bill of rights, which was adopted in 1790 one right after the constitution was approved and is essentially part of the constitution. since then, we have had 17 amendments adopted between 1792 and today. and of those 17, 10 deal specifically with election related matters. so we have tweeted our election system over the years --tweaked our election system over the years. one is expansion of the franchise in the second is structural changes that have ta

effort the state laws.it doesn't the default is at the states are in charge and that's significant as we will discuss in a couple of minutes. what are the constitutional amendments which had since the constitution was adopted in 1787? we are all familiar with the bill of rights which were adopted in 1791 after the constitution was approved and essentially part of the constitution. since then we have had 17 amendments adopted between 1792 and today. of those 17 amendments 10 delta specifically with election related matters. we have tweak our election system over the years and all talk about them in categories but one of the expansion of the franchise and the second is structural changes that have taken place since the constitution so the franchise has included the 15th amendment which prohibits discrimination based on race in terms of providing citizens with voting rights and the 19th amendment which does the same with respect to gender as was described. the 23rd amendment which gives the residents of the di

of the state. we need to fertilize field of small business and entrepreneurs, and the one entity that is for small business national federation of independent businesses endorse me in this race. thawnch. thank you mr. rainwater. >> fellow hoosiers first we have to realize that -- that they're telling us that the economy is doing great but when you sit down at your kitchen table you probably know that's not the life that you're living. inflation is really, really hurting most hoosiers and the reality is that we don't need more jobs. the u.s. chaim before of commerce says we have a worker shortage in this state. we need to stop bringing in more jobs because these jobs that they keep bringing in are causing people to leave small sl businesses and these small businesses are having to close because they can't staff themselves. and the reality is that's happening because -- they don't really care about small businesses in indiana just a big cooperation and we need to change that. >> thank you. >> several

after state. it was close in the polls beforehand. you take a look at how many states jfk wins and almost all of them are by less than 52%. he only has a couple of blowout states rhode island and georgia. nixon wins by larger margins, but he does not win by as much. some say congressional quarterly said that he actually won the popular vote because of a controversies with the popular vote in mississippi. and of course, the controversy, these are in chicago, illinois and in texas, where they may have been vote fraud. but nixon does not contest that. you've written a book about this 1960, lbj versus jfk versus nixo do you think that john kennedy won the vote in 1960? that's the thing about the mississippi is controversial. i think the vote would have gone for him anyway if it was not with these electors in terms of the illegitimate votes in chicago, where there were allegations of vote fraud dating back in the weeks before the election and not just allegations in a general sense, but very specific.

his state has seen 33 fatalities. the governor spoke to president biden and thanked him for visiting georgia. ster declaration. >> good morning, everybody. thank you for being with us this morning. we've got general wilson of the georgia national guard, commissioner mcmurray, georgia department of transportation, and lieutenant colonel kendrick low with the georgia state patrol, want to give you an update on, after being on the ground for the last two days, and then get back here and get briefed. wanted to give everybody and update on where we stand right now on the response to hurricane helene. actually just got off the phone with president biden. and secretary vilsack. they're coming into the state today. i thanked them for visiting. and also thanked them for adding or thanked the president for adding the additional counties to the disaster declaration. i did tell him that i felt certain he would hear on the road that there's still a lot of other counties out there expressing frustration that they haven't been added

and then three quarters of state legislatures, or state ratifying conventions.you would basically need to have broad, widespread, probably bipartisan support. there's also been a movement called the national popular vote compact, which seeks to work within the confines of the current electoral college. and this is an interstate agreement. it takes effect when states that have a total of 270 electoral votes, meaning enough votes to determine the outcome of a presidential election, have signed on to it, and under this interstate agreement, all of the members agree to appoint electors based on the outcome of the national popular vote. california, for example, has signed on were the compact to go into effect even though the democratic candidate for president in some future election were to win the state of california, california could nevertheless wind up having to appoint republican electors if the republican candidate wins the national popular vote, or vice versa. so as of right now, not enough states have entered into the compact for it to take legal effect. the

our state. we have a nuclear plant here and we might have windmills and we might have ev's, forced to drive the when no one else is doing that, and have the highest energy cause in the nation. >> he is actually the leader of the red in the state house, 14 years as a republican legislature. last year blocking investments in school, inroads -- in roads so that companies could vote and not people. you know what happens when you combine red and orange, you get trump orange. don't be deceived, delaware, this is someone who wants to bring trump orange to delaware. you've asked him twice now about climate change and both times his answer is let's get rid of the ev mandate. i tend to agree, i think electric vehicles, individuals should have choice. as county executive, we bought a lot of electric vehicles, converted have our fleet to electric vehicles, i don't believe that's a comprehensive solution to the climate crisis. when you talk about the 2025 climate action plan, i want to see urgency and resili

are the state party. they have been told they are not welcome at the party has moved strongly to the right. there are some disgruntled democrats that perhaps find some of the agenda too far to the left. the moderating voice in this group of voters in states like nevada, the phenomenon is going on in other states and that is the issue not being discussed in this election is that it will not be decided by democrats or republicans. it will be decided by nonpartisan's and independence in the state. they are shy to do the poll results and very much holding their cards close to the chest and that is going to be the real surprise on election day is to what extent they turn out and how they voted, have they gone to the left or right. it is difficult in nevada for many of the nonpartisans to cast a vote for a republican like donald trump. after all, they have been driven are the party by conservatives and a number of them probably left because of the donald trump and so many election cycles. i think that will be a

retaliation from the islamic republic of iran with hundreds of ballistic missile against the ziant state of israel and as well uh the latest attack from hizbollah in the border which has killed and injured dozens of israeli soldiers, i believe that at this moment uh that the resistant is the one who's having the upper hand and he believe that the design state of israel will think uh again to keep its war or as they say they will retaliate against iran because what iran shows in their latest attack that they could conduct a major attack against israeli military installation and as well shows the failure of israeli air defense in stopping uh those missile but of course we're gonna see more escalation from designed state especially against civilians in lebanon we have seen that just in the last 72 hours they have killed and injured hundreds of lubanese civilians including some medic and targeting some health centers and this actually shows that the israeli actually they are only good in targeting and killing civilians, mean we've seen as an example what they have targeted in yemen, they hav

i say this as a united states marine veteran. we are thrilled to have all our soldiers and everybody who served here. thank you for your service. let's go make donald trump the next president of the united states. we got 11 days to do it. here is the thing about my job. i have the easiest job in american politics. i get to go around. i get to talk about the fact when donald trump was president, inflation was 1.5%. people could afford groceries. people could afford housing. i get to go around talking about donald trump supported our police and secure the american southern border. we had low crime. that is something to brag about. i get to go around and talk about the fact we had take-home pay rising faster than it had in a generation in 40 years when donald trump was president. you know the -- we have a beautiful baby back here with a make america great again shirt. if we were part of the, harris campaign, i would say get him registered to vote. not until he is 18. here is the thing. i kind of feel bad for governor tim walz. you d

not of the united states, she said, but of the states, united. pinckney's treatise was even more radical than the more famous tracked by her friend, john c calhoun, the famed theorist of nullification, whose fort hill address issued a few months after pinckney drafted her political catechism . pinckney's was a political tract couched in terms of a catechism delivered to a young fema relative, and there was a young fema relative. it was a cousin, kind of, in law, so she was addressing this to a fema relative, but it was also addressed to the wider world. in pinckney's activities were not confined to writing. she planned to import a cargo of sugar with the governor of south carolina in order to test the federal tariff laws. she and her sister called the mansion, nullification castle. and it was reported as such in the press. they leased office space to the political allies in the states rights party and participated in political parades, albeit on their own terms for instance, when the states rights and free trade party held a celebration on july 4

have laid out what new york state policies are nothing is going to change in new york state, regardless of which one of us is elected and it is very disingenuous and playing on the fears of women and women don't like being lied to, john, and you really should take note that you make these false statements. john: part of the agenda and the legislative priorities of the republican study committee and the conservative party is a national abortion ban with no exceptions. chris: a follow-up and i would like to give 30 seconds for the question. john, would you vote against the laws that punish women or doctors who cross state borders to perform or receive an abortion? >> in new york state we have already protected women that come to this state and doctors to be able to provide those services with those laws. so if i go back to your question, depending on how it was asked what i would say is i'm going to protect the women that travel to the state, i'm going to protect the providers that provide those services, and additionally we have protections in the state when doctors send abortive medicat

as a senator from washington state, what do you believe the state's role is in protecting reproductive care and will you support national legislation to safeguard reproductive rights, including a woman's right to choose? dr. garcia. dr. garcia: the short answer is yes. the voters have made it clear that this is a pro-choice state and as your next senator i will protect and defend that choice. i know that the dobbs decision caused a lot of anxiety and mistrust in our government. i am asking every woman in the state of washington to trust who i am and what i have stood for. i am the physician that has prescribed contraceptives. the physician that was there at bedside when her mother had her daughter raped by an uncle. a husband whose wife almost died of ectopic pregnancy. we have to send those patients to the operating room to terminate the pregnancy, or those women will die. my wife was a trauma nurse specializing in sexual assault. i have a long career where i would never handicap the medical profession from performing procedures that are lifesaving. the long answer is yes, i think tha

and not the state and that state but not that state that to me is due to the state polling. do youyo agree to do it poll wel cost more money than to do a poll not well. let me interject. where everyone is looking at the lg vote pulls that flood the universe every two years good polling is very expensive. these are nice suits that these people are wearing out there. theytu did not take the metro. actually you may have taken the metro. they don't bake in their. the amount of polling that floods this space of the lg vote pulling that out there good polling the kinds these people do is expensive because you have the higher operatorsen who know some who do well and who are in partial and you need voter files and all of this work and listen to these people. if you care about a specific state i would find a poll that is based in that state and look at the last couple polls close to the election and it may not be perfect but it may tell you something and insert name of turning words. three words you've never heard before. i raise in my remarks with possibly a the election for public

it's also various other states where the state capital is not the port city.and so this in charleston, baltimore, new york, you have the state laws that are being passed that have something to do with, say, in south carolina, the jailing of black sailors or in new york, albany says, you know, you need to have these sort licenses filled out or baltimore to annapolis and port the kind of local commercial elite in the port city feel very aggrieved by this and often end up making arguments that are more pro federal power because they don't, because they feel like the capital doesn't it? and they feel like the capital doesn't understand their interests as a port city. and they are also just more cosmopolitan. they're a port city with much more interaction with with trade more broadly. that's another aspect of the federalism story that i think is interesting. intra state conflict between capital and the port city and in many cases the port city is much older too. and that's certainly true with charleston. um, yes, professor slaughter, this is one and it's a revelati

to certain states that are members of the alliance, in the event that these states become a victim ofion by ... third countries, for example, the russian federation, and i emphasize, it is emphasized, emphasizes because the united states should, first of all, take care of its national security, and european countries, on the contrary, should think about how to organize security for themselves, so one of the key concerns, probably concerns the fact that europe will be forced to look for or form new organizations or... to create new security instruments that would take care first of all, that would provide certain, give certain guarantees to european states, that is, even in the matter of security, in the matter of nato, there will still be a principle if donald trump will win, america first, that is, america first of all, and nato is already there because of whom the second third is there, the truth is, i am so right, and in fact, yes, and in fact these thoughts are also widespread among american voters, because ... the last polls, for example, showed that when asked whether the united

the president of the african state also proposed creating a friendship group between the state duma and.. the state duma a package of initiatives that prohibit propaganda of conscious refusal to have children. it is proposed to introduce administrative liability for disseminating information popularizing inactivity. fines for violations will reach 5 million rubles. as reported by the chairman of the state duma, the bills will be considered in october. what initiatives did the deputies approve? this week in our review. amendments to the housing code were adopted in the first reading. if the law comes into force, a single form of annual report of management companies to residents of apartment buildings will appear. thus thus, the organization's activities will become more transparent, and residents will be able to control what their funds are spent on, said state duma chairman vyacheslav volodin. citizens will be able to receive payment for unused days from the guls. the deputies adopted amendments to the labor code, which specify the period during which time off can be used and provide f

state with the most rural voters. when we visited there last week, we got a firsthand look at the lengths that canvassers are going to to reach voters in remote areas. further complicating the situation. of course, this election is the cleanup from hurricane helene. it swept through the state in late september, destroying homes and roads and bridges and killing at least 95 people. so what's being done to ensure that voters in these hard hit areas are still able to cast a ballot? jeff carmon is the secretary of north carolina's state board of elections. what are the major changes to the election in the areas that experienced the disaster? we met as a board and granted them some flexibility that they previously didn't have. meaning we allowed them to change hours to adjust for safety. we allowed them to change polling sites that may not be able to function due to safety, or due to people not being able to get there. as a result of the hurricane. it seems to me like one of the biggest challenges would be getting informat

after state. it was close in the polls beforehand. you take a look at how many states jfk wins and almost all of them are by less than 52%. he only has a couple of blowout states rhode island and georgia. nixon wins by larger margins, but he does not win by as much. some say congressional quarterly said that he actually won the popular vote because of a controversies with the popular vote in mississippi. and of course, the controversy, these are in chicago, illinois and in texas, where they may have been vote f but nixon does not contest that. you've written a book about this 1960, lbj versus jfk versus nin. do you think that john kennedy won the vote in 1960? that's the thing about the mississippi is controversial. i think the vote would have gone for him anyway if it was not with these electors in terms of the illegitimate votes in chicago, where there were allegations of vote fraud dating back in the weeks before the election and not just allegations in a general sense, but very specific. and t

state, obviously. you heard vice president harris mention collin allred running against senator ted cruz for the senate seat in texas. part of the reason she was there was to support him in that race against ted cruz. at the same time, the vice president presented texas as a ground zero of sorts for the reproductive freedom fight because of the strict abortion laws that are now on the books in texas. the vice president and several other speakers including beyonce there in texas last night talked about how some women have died or suffered greatly as a result of the strict abortion laws there. it's a case she will make here as well. her belief what we see happening in texas could be nationwide if donald trump were to win in november. that he would advocate for and potentially sign a national abortion ban. the crowd here in kalamazoo, sorry, i had to think about it for a second. the crowd is building for the rally that will happen tonight. >> we expect to see the president and vice president here. i've be

what should the united states do?they have to say: well, you know, well, it's not the same thing, well, then it's the bankruptcy of this whole idea, because what we announced, you are with us, you are in nato, we invited you, but you will still be shelled, or the united states said: well, listen, you russians do not respect us, we said that all this is nato territory, we are this territory we are protecting, the protocol process of ratification is just going on, where did you go, we destroy with our missiles from the territory. i don’t know poland or germany there, your launchers, ladies, well, great, destroyed, but what will happen the next day, and there are guarantees that vladimir putin will not hit romstein there, let’s say with his missiles, that’s for sure we we know who guarantees it, who is the person who will say, you can hit russia, and she will not respond, that is the problem in all of this, that is, i precisely adhere to this point of view, that if ukraine receives security guarantees of russians on the
