Hasan Presses Raffensperger: How Can You Pass a New Voting Law to Fight Fraud Where Fraud Did Not Even Exist?

HASAN Election law SB ░░░░░░░░ which passed on a ░░░░░░░░ party vote which you ░░░░░░░░ backed even though it ░░░░░░░░ heavily criticized you ve ░░░░░░░░ there s no rational ░░░░░░░░ against some of its ░░░░░░░░ I don t get ░░░░░░░░ you would pass a ░░░░░░░░ to fight voter fraud ░░░░░░░░ there isn t any ░░░░░░░░ fraud How can you ░░░░░░░░ supporting a law that ░░░░░░░░ going after something that ░░░░░░░░ say doesn t exist ░░░░░░░░ Well we actually increased ░░░░░░░░ number of days of ░░░░░░░░ voting we have up ░░░░░░░░ 19 days of early ░░░░░░░░ which is better than ░░░░░░░░ York New Jersey and ░░░░░░░░ but we also incorporated ░░░░░░░░ the first time using ░░░░░░░░ s license number with ░░░░░░░░ I D something they ░░░░░░░░ been using a Minnesota ░░░░░░░░ ten years I believe ░░░░░░░░ helps add a bit ░░░░░░░░ objective measures to the ░░░░░░░░ ballot process and I ░░░░░░░░ that ll give voters ░░░░░░░░ So those are two ░░░░░░░░ solid measures When there ░░░░░░░░ a big bill like ░░░░░░░░ you won t agree ░░░░░░░░ everything I understand that ░░░░░░░░ on balance it was ░░░░░░░░ fair and also increased ░░░░░░░░ number of days of ░░░░░░░░ voting HASAN With respect ░░░░░░░░ can agree and disagree ░░░░░░░░ some of the contents ░░░░░░░░ mentioned some of the ░░░░░░░░ things in the bill ░░░░░░░░ you think are in ░░░░░░░░ There are other things ░░░░░░░░ you know there s ░░░░░░░░ time to get absentee ░░░░░░░░ there s stricter requirements ░░░░░░░░ it People like yourself ░░░░░░░░ send out absentee ballots ░░░░░░░░ voters that s criminalized ░░░░░░░░ reduction in drop boxes ░░░░░░░░ what I m really ░░░░░░░░ is rather than we ░░░░░░░░ about the different things ░░░░░░░░ the bill the bill ░░░░░░░░ let s be honest ░░░░░░░░ each other with our ░░░░░░░░ was pushed by Georgia ░░░░░░░░ Party that said it ░░░░░░░░ to fight voter fraud ░░░░░░░░ you told me a ░░░░░░░░ ago there was no ░░░░░░░░ voter fraud So why ░░░░░░░░ a law to fight ░░░░░░░░ that you say doesn ░░░░░░░░ exist I don t ░░░░░░░░ it RAFFENSPERGER In my ░░░░░░░░ I do quote General ░░░░░░░░ It talks about moral ░░░░░░░░ It s perhaps one ░░░░░░░░ the most absent characteristics ░░░░░░░░ a man And so ░░░░░░░░ a lot of times ░░░░░░░░ are just fearful what ░░░░░░░░ happen to them in ░░░░░░░░ re election or someone ░░░░░░░░ primary them But I ░░░░░░░░ shown that I m ░░░░░░░░ to stand and walk ░░░░░░░░ line of integrity I ░░░░░░░░ we need more people ░░░░░░░░ are gonna do that ░░░░░░░░ can go get another ░░░░░░░░ but you can never ░░░░░░░░ your integrity So stand ░░░░░░░░ on integrity People are ░░░░░░░░ for people that will ░░░░░░░░ up and be counted ░░░░░░░░ I ve shown that ░░░░░░░░ ll do that I ░░░░░░░░ stand up and make ░░░░░░░░ we have fair and ░░░░░░░░ elections in Georgia for ░░░░░░░░ HASAN With respect Secretary ░░░░░░░░ I ll ask the ░░░░░░░░ a third time You ░░░░░░░░ said to me there ░░░░░░░░ no systematic voter fraud ░░░░░░░░ Georgia but you then ░░░░░░░░ a law that was ░░░░░░░░ by Georgia Republicans who ░░░░░░░░ this law is to ░░░░░░░░ systematic voter fraud in ░░░░░░░░ Please reconcile those two ░░░░░░░░ for me RAFFENSPERGER I ░░░░░░░░ that the should help ░░░░░░░░ voter confidence and that ░░░░░░░░ a good thing because ░░░░░░░░ we have to look ░░░░░░░░ what Stacey Abrams talked ░░░░░░░░ voter suppression and so ░░░░░░░░ did some election reform ░░░░░░░░ we have now introduced ░░░░░░░░ ballot a paper ballot ░░░░░░░░ that we could do ░░░░░░░░ and people have a ░░░░░░░░ that they can actually ░░░░░░░░ instead of electronic voting ░░░░░░░░ that s one of ░░░░░░░░ things that came out ░░░░░░░░ the 2018 election when ░░░░░░░░ Abrams talked about voter ░░░░░░░░ So whenever we can ░░░░░░░░ enhance the voter confidence ░░░░░░░░ security but also accessibility ░░░░░░░░ is what you re ░░░░░░░░ for is balancing that ░░░░░░░░ with security And I ░░░░░░░░ with SB 202 we ░░░░░░░░ made a further improvement ░░░░░░░░ don t agree that ░░░░░░░░ should have been replaced ░░░░░░░░ the chair of the ░░░░░░░░ election board but that ░░░░░░░░ some people can say ░░░░░░░░ s just a personal ░░░░░░░░ but I think it ░░░░░░░░ actually a wrong decision ░░░░░░░░ eventually at some point ░░░░░░░░ hurt the people of ░░░░░░░░
