>>> DESPITE GEORGIAS REPUBLICAN
LEADERS CERTIFYING JOE BIDEN AS
THE STATES WINNER OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, A THIRD
COUNT OF THE VOTE IS NOW UNDER
WAY, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AT THE
REQUEST OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
THIS MORNING, ELECTION WORKERS
BEGAN RETALLYING VOTES WITH A
DEADLINE SET FOR ONE WEEK FROM
TOMORROW.
THE SENATE RUNOFF ELECTIONS ARE
JUST SIX WEEKS FROM NOW AND THE
SECRETARY OF STATES OFFICE SAYS
OVER 800,000 ABSENTEE BALLOTS
HAVE ALREADY BEEN REQUESTED.
JOINING ME NOW IS THE CHAIR OF
THE GEORGIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
NEW CONGRESSWOMAN ELECT, NAKIMA
WILLIAMS.
SHE WAS RECENTLY ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF THE FRESHMAN HOUSE
OF DEMOCRATS FOR THE 117th
CONGRESS.
CONGRATULATIONS, ITS BEEN QUITE
A RUN.
SO, APPROACHECIATE YOUR TIME THI
AFTERNOON.
LET ME BEGIN WITH DeKALB COUNTY.
ELECTION OFFICIALS THERE ARE
TELLING "THE ATLANTA JOURNAL
CONSTITUTION" THEY WILL BE
STRETCHED THIN TO MEET NEXT
WEEKS RECOUNT DEADLINE AS WELL
AS KEEPING UP WITH THE DEMANDS
FOR THAT JANUARY RUNOFF
ELECTION.
HOW CONCERNED ARE YOU, ARE YOU
CONCERNED AT ALL, THAT THIS
COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN
DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLDS SIMPLY BY
THE VOLUME THEY HAVE TO DEAL
WITH?
>> SO, I ABSOLUTELY HAVE SOME
CONCERNS, BUT I KNOW THAT THIS
IS ALL APART OF THE PLOY TO TIRE
OUR WORKERS DOWN, THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE DOING THE WORK TO SAVE
OUR DEMOCRACY, TO SUPPORT OUR
DEMOCRACY.
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS JUST GOING
TO MEAN THAT AT THE END OF THIS
RECOUNT, FOR THE THIRD TIME,
DONALD TRUMP WILL LOSE THE STATE
OF GEORGIA.
SO, P WORKERS ARE DOING
EVERYTHING THAT THEY CAN TO BE
IN COMPLIANCE AND MAKE SURE THAT
THEY MEET THE DELINES, BUT WE
ARE ALSO DOING EVERYTHING WE
NEED TO DO ON THE GROUND TO MAKE
SURE WE HAVE SUPPORT SYSTEMS IN
PLACE, GETTING PEOPLE INFORMED
ABOUT WHATS TO COME NEXT,
THINGS THAT COUNTIES WOULD BE
DOING AROUND ABSENTEE VOTING.
WERE STEPPING IN THE GAP AND
MAKING SURE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
THE PROCESS AND GETTING THE
APPLICATIONS BACK IN.
>> AS THE ELECTION HAS NOW BEEN
CERTIFIED FOR JOE BIDEN, ITS
MORE AND MORE AND INCREASINGLY
GOING TO BE JOE BIDEN SWORN IN
AS PRESIDENT.
THE REPUBLICAN NARRATIVE HAS
INCREASED IN GEORGIA THAT YOU
NEED REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF THE
SENATE TO CHECK A BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
WHAT DO YOU TELL PEOPLE TO
CONVINCE THEM TO VOTE FOR JON
OSSOFF AND REVEREND WARNOCK IN
THE STATE OF GEORGIA TO COUNTER
THAT REPUBLICAN NARRATIVE THEY
NEED A CHECK ON JOE BIDEN?
>> AMIN, GEORGIA VOTERS SHOWED
UP TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 3rd
BECAUSE THEY KNEW WHAT WAS AND
STAKE.
GETTING OUR CHILDREN BACK TO
SCHOOL SAFETY -- I HAVE A
5-YEAR-OLD WHO YOU MIGHT HEAR AT
ANY MOMENT WHO IS UPSTAIRS RIGHT
NOW, BECAUSE HES IN VIRTUAL
KINDERGARTEN AND DIDNT GET TO
START OFF SCHOOL MEETING HIS
FRIENDS AND NEW TEACHER.
WE NEED LEADERSHIP IN THIS
COUNTRY WHO IS WILLING TO GET
THIS RIGHT AND OUR TWO U.S.
SENATORS HAVE ENRICHED
THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF LOOKING
OUT FOR EVERY DAY GEORGIANS.
SO, I KNOW THAT WHEN WE ELECT
JOHN OFF YAS AND RAPHAEL WARNOCK
TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE,
THEYRE GOING TO BE LOOKING OUT
FOR EVERY DAY GEORGIANS.
>> THAT SENIOR SENATOR THERE,
DAVID PURDUE, LET ME PLAY FOR
YOU SOMETHING HE TOLD A RALLY IN
GEORGIA JUST YESTERDAY ON THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
WATCH.
>> WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO
HELP DONALD TRUMP IN THIS FRAUD?
>> ILL BE GLAD TO HELP YOU WITH
THAT.
ILL TELL YOU THAT IN A SECOND.
WE CALLED FOR THE RESIGNATION OF
OUR SECRETARY OF STATE IS WHAT
WE DID.
WERE CALLING FOR LAWSUITS.
WERE DOING A LOT.
>> WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT A
SITTING GEORGIA SENIOR SENATOR
DOES NOT ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF
THE ELECTION AND DO YOU BELIEVE
IT WILL SET A NEW STANDARD AND
WILL PURDUE QUESTION THE RESULTS
IF HE LOSES IN JANUARY THE WAY
HES DOING RIGHT THERE?
>> HE CAN QUESTION THE RESULTS
ALL HE WANTS, JUST LIKE DONALD
TRUMP HAS, BUT THATS NOT GOING
TO CHANGE THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE.
THE VOTERS SPOKE, THE VOTERS
DECIDED THAT OVER 50% OF THE
STATE DID NOT WANT HIM AND I AM
CONFIDENT IN VOTERS TURNING BACK
OUT IN FORCE FOR JANUARY 5th TO
MAKE SURE THEIR VOICES ARE
HEARD.
ITS ABSURD THAT A U.S. SENATOR
IS QUESTIONING OUR DEMOCRACY
HERE IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT THATS
WHY WE HAVE ELECTIONS AND THATS
WHY BEHAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET
