Summary
The Palast Investigative team held a joint press conference with Black Voters Matter Fund founders LaTosha Brown and Cliff Albright, calling on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to restore the nearly 200,000 voters he wrongly purged before the election.
Thom is joined by investigative reporter Greg Palast: “We are asking the Secretary of State to name the so-called expert, who by law must be a U.S. Postal Service licensee, and to meet with our experts to go over our list name by name and find out how his office got this so disastrously wrong — purging voters for moving from their registration residence who never moved.”

| 0:00.0 | This is the Tom Hartman program. |
| 0:16.0 | Donald Trump became president by exploiting a loophole in our constitution called the |

| 0:42.8 | the National Popular vote, but four states claimed that occupying union troops were |
| 0:46.9 | engaging in voter fraud, so they submitted Electoral College slates for both candidates. |
| 0:52.7 | With these competing Electoral College slates neither candidate won the majority needed |
| 0:56.2 | to take the Electoral College and become president, and as a result, the election got |
| 1:00.9 | thrown to the state legislatures via the House of Representatives, and they chose the |
| 1:05.0 | Republican who had lost the election for B. Hayes as president. |
| 1:09.3 | Donald Trump proclaimed during a rally a few days ago that he and the Republican Party |
| 1:14.5 | are planning a very similar strategy. |
| 1:17.0 | I wrote about this back in March. |
| 1:18.6 | I have been ranting about this now for a half a year. |
| 1:23.4 | We've got nine swing states with Republican-controlled state legislatures, nine of them. |
| 1:29.5 | And the Constitution says that the state legislatures have the final say in what their Electoral |
