- Alabama group offers churches $6 for each person they get to vote - al.com

- A group's offer to pay churches $6 for every person they help to vote early this year does not violate any law although it might not be the ''best practice'' for getting out votes, Alabama's elections chief said Monday.
- The ''New South Souls to the Polls Initiative'' is paying churches a $6 contribution ''for each documented early vote'' to cover the expenses for outreach and transportation to help people vote early by absentee ballot, according to a letter mailed to pastors by Hank Sanders, a former longtime Democratic state senator from Selma who is organizing the effort. It's unclear how many churches were offered the funds.
- Sanders said the $6 is intended to compensate groups for transportation, outreach and time to help people vote early and is not tied to how a person will vote.
- ''It says specifically no person can be paid to vote. This is not about paying anybody to vote. It's about trying to encourage people,'' Sanders said in a phone interview.
- The New South Coalition is a predominately Black political group that is dedicated to the ''progressive ideals of freedom, justice and democracy.'' Sanders said the effort is being run by the New South Alliance LLC, an entity dedicated to get-out-the-vote efforts.
- Absentee ballot requests have skyrocketed since the state office loosened rules because of the COVID-19 pandemic. People lined up Saturday in Birmingham and Montgomery to cast absentee ballots via in-person voting after local election officials offered Saturday balloting.
- A national Republican group backing Republican Tommy Tuberville in his bid to unseat incumbent Sen. Doug Jones criticized the $6 as a ''cash for votes'' scheme.
- Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, a Republican, said he reviewed the situation and determined there is nothing nefarious as long as the $6 is not tied to voting a particular way.
- ''It's not illegal. It's certainly not a best practice,'' Merrill said in a telephone interview.
- ''It does not say you are going to give it to someone to vote a particular way or vote for a particular party or to vote for, or against, a particular initiative, and so there is nothing there that is illegal.''
- The National Republican Senatorial Committee called it a ''desperate and shady cash-for-votes scheme'' and noted that a related organization, the New South Alliance, has endorsed Jones and Jones' campaign has given money to the New South Alliance LLC.
- ''Jones knows his radical message doesn't resonate with Alabamians and has turned to dishonest campaign tactics to pay for votes,'' National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesperson Paige Lindgren said in a news release.
- Sanders said the effort is in, ''no kind of way tied to Doug Jones.''
- ''It's a shame that so many people don't want other folks to vote,'' Sanders.

- Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth claims 'Democrats' paid $6 for Jones votes - al.com
- Without providing evidence, Alabama Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth claimed ''Democrats'' paid a ''$6 bounty'' for every vote cast for Sen. Doug Jones.
- Ainwsorth made the claim in a Facebook post congratulating former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville for defeating Jones, a Democrat, in Tuesday's election.The lieutenant governor also alluded to allegations of voter fraud nationwide on behalf of Democrats without providing evidence. There have been no confirmed reports of widespread fraud.
- ''Excited you won despite Democrat efforts to buy the election and pay a $6 bounty for each Jones vote,'' Ainsworth wrote. ''President Donald J. Trump is fighting ballot harvesting and crooked vote counters who delay totals to help Dems. Let's pray that he wins, too!'¬''
- Ainsworth appeared to be referencing the ''New South Souls to the Polls Initiative" organized by former Alabama state Rep. Hank Sanders, a Democrat. The initiative donated $6 to churches ''for each documented early vote'' to offset the costs of transportation and outreach to help Alabamians vote early.
- Sanders said the compensation was not connected to how a voter cast their ballot.
- ''It says specifically no person can be paid to vote. This is not about paying anybody to vote. It's about trying to encourage people,'' Sanders said of a letter bearing his name that was sent out to Alabama pastors informing them of the initiative.
- Three weeks ago, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill said the initiative is ''not illegal,'' although the effort is ''certainly not a best practice.''
- ''It does not say you are going to give it to someone to vote a particular way or vote for a particular party or to vote for, or against, a particular initiative, and so there is nothing there that is illegal," he said.
- Efforts to reach Ainsworth were unsuccessful.
- Tuberville, a political neophyte who defeated former and ex-Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the Republican Senate runoff in July, went on to prevail against Jones on Tuesday, 60 percent to 40 percent, according to preliminary results.

- Gov. Kemp calls for signature audit of Georgia vote - WDEF
- ATLANTA (WDEF) '' Gov. Brian Kemp will certify the election results because he is required to by law.
- But in a Friday evening news conference, he said he is not happy about it.
- ''It's quite honestly hard to believe that during the audit, that thousands of uncounted ballots were found in a razor-thin outcome in a presidential election. This is simply unacceptable.''
- He notes that the recount only looked at the actual ballots, not the signatures on the envelopes.
- The Governor is calling for the Secretary of State to review the signatures to make sure they match.
- Critics say that could weed out fraudulent or fake votes that were cast.
- But despite the criticism, Secretary of State Raffensberger has defended the signature verification process on the ballots.
- Raffensberger has submitted a final vote count for the Governor to certify which shows Joe Biden winning the state by more than 12,000 votes.
- The Republican says he believes the numbers are correct.
- Gov. Kemp this evening also called on future legislation to tighten up photo ID requirements on mail in ballots.
- He adds that certifying the vote will clear the way for the President's team to take further legal action. All of his lawsuits so far over the Georgia vote have been tossed out by judges.
- President Trump has attacked Governor Kemp for not cracking down on the Republican Secretary of State. This was his tweet this afternoon.
- Kemp, himself, was the Secretary of State just two years ago.
- He was questioned at the time for overseeing his own election for Governor, in which he narrowly defeated Stacey Abrams.
- Journey Through the Maze: The Tragic Story of Athan Gibbs
- "Nashville businessman Athan Gibbs had a dream: Count every vote. Athan Gibbs had a standard: You should be able to verify your vote like you can verify how much money you have in the bank. Athan Gibbs had a question: Why, if you're an ATM manufacturer, would you make a machine that doesn't provide a paper trail and can't be audited? Athan Gibbs had an idea: Make a voting machine where the voter has an opportunity to verify that their vote has been received , recorded and counted. This is the story of Athan Gibbs' quintessential dream - and its tragic conclusion."From Uncounted The Movie. If you don't watch any other movie this month, please see this one before November.

- Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal - Wikipedia
- The Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal refers to the accusation that teachers and principals in the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) district cheated on state-administered standardized tests in 2009 and to the subsequent trial in 2014''2015.
- Background [ edit ] In 2009, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published analyses of Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) results which showed statistically unlikely test scores, including extraordinary gains or losses in a single year.[1] An investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) released in July 2011 indicated that 44 out of 56 schools cheated on the 2009 CRCT.[2] One hundred and seventy-eight educators were implicated in correcting answers entered by students.[3] Of these, 35 educators were indicted and all but 12 took plea deals; the remaining 12 went to trial.[4] The size of the scandal has been described as one of the largest in United States history.[3][5][6]
- The scandal thrust the debate over using high-stakes testing to hold educators accountable, mandated by the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act, into the national spotlight.[7] Teachers who confessed to cheating blamed "inordinate pressure" to meet targets set by the district and said they faced severe consequences such as a negative evaluation or termination if they didn't.[7]
- Prior to the scandal, the APS had been lauded for making significant gains in standardized test scores. Between 2002 and 2009, eighth-graders' scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress reading test jumped 14 points, the highest of any urban area.[6] Superintendent Beverly Hall, who served from 1999 to 2010, was named Superintendent of the Year in 2009.[8] The GBI's report said Hall "knew or should have known" about the scandal.[2] Hall's lawyer has denied she had any knowledge of cheating practices.[6] In 2013, she was indicted in relation to her role in the matter.[9] On September 6, 2013, Tamara Cotman, an Executive Director, represented by Benjamin Davis, was found not guilty of influencing a witness.[10]
- Trial [ edit ] The trial began on September 29, 2014, presided over by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter. It was the longest criminal trial in Georgia history, lasting eight months.[11] Before the end of the trial, the superintendent at the center of the scandal, Beverly Hall, died of breast cancer, aged 68.[12]
- On April 1, 2015, eleven of the twelve defendants were convicted on racketeering charges.[13] Dessa Curb was the only teacher found not guilty on all charges.[14]
- Donald Bullock, former testing coordinator: Weekends in jail for 6 months, $5,000 fine, 5 years of probation and 1,500 hours of community service.Sharon Davis-Williams, Tamara Cotman, and Michael Pitts: 20 years in prison, to serve seven, $25,000 fine and 2,000 hours of community service.Sentences for Cotman, Pitts & Davis-Williams were reduced from 7 to 3 years and fines to $10,000.[4]Sharon Davis-Williams and Michael Pitts are former school reform team executive directors.Dana Evans: 5 years in prison, one to serve, and 1,000 hours of community service.Angela Williamson and Tabeeka Jordan, former Deerwood Academy assistant principal: 5 years in prison, two to serve, $5,000 fine and 1,500 hours of community service.Diane Buckner-Webb, former Dunbar Elementary teacher: 5 years in prison, one to serve, $1,000 fine, 1,000 hours in community service and first offender treatment.Theresia Copeland, former Benteen Elementary testing coordinator: 5 years in prison, one to serve, $1,000 fine and 1,000 hours of community service.Pamela Cleveland, former Dunbar Elementary teacher: 5 years' probation, home confinement for a year from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and community service.Shani Robinson, former first-grade Dunbar Elementary teacher: one year in prison, 4 years of probation, $1,000 fine, 1,000 hours of community service.[15][16]Nine of the 11 educators convicted of racketeering appealed. Two of those nine, Tamara Cotman Johnson and Angela Williamson, went directly to the appeals court, lost, and reported for prison in October 2018.[17]
- In popular culture [ edit ] Jon Stewart, the then-host of The Daily Show, compared the cheating scandal to Wall Street scandal.
- Art & adaptation [ edit ] Wrong Answer [ edit ] Ryan Coogler will work with Michael B. Jordan for a fourth time in the upcoming film Wrong Answer, based on the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal.[18][19]
- Ranked [ edit ] The Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal was an inspiration for Ranked, a musical about academic pressure in school. Kyle Holmes (book) and David Taylor Gomes (music & lyrics) cite the scandal as one of their main inspirations for a storyline that featured adults cheating on behalf of students.[20] The show opened at Granite Bay High School three weeks after Operation Varsity Blues charges were made public. The timing of the musical's debut in relation to the scandal was serendipitous, and earned the high school national attention.[21]

- New South - Wikipedia
- New South, New South Democracy or New South Creed is a slogan in the history of the American South after the American Civil War. Reformers use it to call for a modernization of society and attitudes, to integrate more fully with the United States, and reject the economy and traditions of the Old South and the slavery-based plantation system of the antebellum period. The term was coined by its leading spokesman and Atlanta editor Henry W. Grady.[1]
- Etymology and philosophy [ edit ] The original use of the term "New South" was an attempt to prescribe an attractive future based on a growing economy. The industrial revolution of the North was the model. The antebellum South was heavily agrarian. After the American Civil War, the South was impoverished and still rural; it was heavily reliant on cotton and a few other crops with low market prices. It seemed to be in great need of urbanization and industrialization. Slavery was abolished, and African Americans played a different role in the New South. Henry W. Grady made this term popular in his articles and speeches as editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Richard Hathaway Edmonds of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record was another staunch advocate of New South industrialization. The Manufacturers' Record was one of the most widely read and powerful publications among turn of the 20th century industrialists. Historian Paul Gaston coined the specific term "New South Creed" to describe the promises of visionaries like Grady who said industrialization would bring prosperity to the region.[2]
- The classic history was written by C. Vann Woodward: The Origins of the New South: 1877''1913, published in 1951 by Louisiana State University Press. Sheldon Hackney, a Woodward student, hails the book but explains:
- Of one thing we may be certain at the outset. The durability of Origins of the New South is not a result of its ennobling and uplifting message. It is the story of the decay and decline of the aristocracy, the suffering and betrayal of the poor whites, and the rise and transformation of a middle class. It is not a happy story. The Redeemers are revealed to be as venal as the carpetbaggers. The declining aristocracy are ineffectual and money hungry, and in the last analysis they subordinated the values of their political and social heritage in order to maintain control over the black population. The poor whites suffered from strange malignancies of racism and conspiracy-mindedness, and the rising middle class was timid and self-interested even in its reform movement. The most sympathetic characters in the whole sordid affair are simply those who are too powerless to be blamed for their actions.[3]
- The New South campaign was championed by Southern elites often outside of the old planter class, in hopes of making a fresh ("new") start forming partnerships with Northern capitalists in order to modernize and speed the economic development of the South. From Henry Grady to black leader Booker T. Washington, New South advocates wanted southern economic regeneration, sectional reconciliation, racial harmony and believed in the gospel of work.
- The rise of the New South involved the continued supremacy of whites over blacks, who had little or no political power. For example, Grady stated in an 1888 speech about the New South: "the supremacy of the white race of the South must be maintained forever, and the domination of the negro race resisted at all points and at all hazards, because the white race is the superior race ... [This declaration] shall run forever with the blood that feeds Anglo-Saxon hearts".[4]
- History [ edit ] Great Depression and World War II [ edit ] The economic woes of the Great Depression dampened much New South enthusiasm as investment capital dried up and the rest of the nation began to view the South as a large economic failure. World War II ushered in a degree of economic prosperity as efforts to industrialize in support of the War effort were employed. In the southern mountains, the Tennessee Valley Authority built dams, and generated employment and electricity that affected numerous residents and manufacturers alike. Other southern industries, such as mining, steel, and ship building flourished during World War II and set the stage for increased industrialization, urban development, and economic prosperity in southern ports and cities in the second half of the 20th century.
- Civil Rights era [ edit ] The beginnings of the Civil Rights era in the 1960s led to a revival of the term to describe a South which would no longer be held back by Jim Crow Laws and other aspects of compulsory legal segregation. Again, the initially slow pace of civil rights reforms, notably in the areas of school desegregation and voting rights, at first made the "New South" more of a slogan than a description of the South as it actually was; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 brought an era of far more rapid change.
- For many years, this "New South" was more of a slogan of civic boosters than a reality in many areas. Racist conflicts during the Civil Rights Movement gave the American South a backward image in popular culture. However, in the 1960s the black population began being enfranchised and represented in many political offices. In the post-World War II era, American textiles makers and other light industry moved en masse to the South, so as to capitalize on low wages, social conservatism, and anti-union sentiments.[5] With the industrialization of the South came economic change, migration, immigration and population growth. Light industry moved offshore but has been replaced to a degree by auto manufacturing, tourism and energy production. In light of the many changes that have occurred since the Civil War, many now use the term in a celebratory sense.[citation needed ]
- For over 100 years, from before the Civil War until the mid-1960s, the Democratic Party exercised a virtual monopoly on Southern politics (see also Solid South). Thus elections were actually decided between Democratic factions in primary elections (often all-white); the Democratic nomination was considered to be tantamount to election.[6]
- Political party affiliation [ edit ] The "New South" period is double-edged. After the passage of civil rights legislation, African Americans began to vote in number for the Democratic Party. Many had supported Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson had supported their cause. At the same time, in 1964 several Southern politicians, and states, supported Republican Barry Goldwater for President over the Democratic incumbent Lyndon B. Johnson. In what later became a trend, some switched party affiliations, notably Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Richard Nixon's Southern strategy in the 1968 campaign is thought by many[who? ] to have vastly accelerated this process. From Nixon's time to the present, the South has generally voted Republican at the presidential level.
- The term "New South" has also been used to refer to political leaders in the American South who embraced progressive ideas on education and economic growth and minimized racist rhetoric, even if not promoting integration. This term was most commonly associated with the wave of Southern governors elected in the late 1960s and 1970s, including Terry Sanford in North Carolina, Carl Sanders and Jimmy Carter in Georgia, and Albert Brewer in Alabama.[7][8]
- Similarly, the term "New South" was also used to refer to areas of the South that have become more diverse and cosmopolitan over the last several decades.
- Economics [ edit ] The "New South" is also meant to describe economic growth in the American South, compared to the economic decline and loss of jobs in other regions of the United States. The largest company in the world by revenue is Walmart which is located in Bentonville, Arkansas. For example, two of the largest U.S. banks, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, have a major presence in Charlotte, North Carolina. Bank of America is headquartered there, and Wells Fargo has maintained much of the operation of Wachovia after acquiring it in 2008. Charlotte is also home to many other major corporations including Lowe's, Duke Energy, Family Dollar, Lendingtree and Honeywell.
- Jobs at automotive manufacturing plants in U.S. have declined in cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, and St. Louis, while lower wage, non-unionized work forces in the American South have attracted foreign manufacturers. Automobile manufacturers BMW, Toyota, Mercedes, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Volkswagen have opened plants in states such as Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, and West Virginia.[9] Meanwhile, General Motors factories continue to operate in Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas, and two Ford factories operate in Kentucky's largest city of Louisville.
- High-profile companies such as IBM, Intel, Verizon and Microsoft have major corporate presence in the Research Triangle of North Carolina.
- American Airlines Group, the largest airline in the world as of 2019, is headquartered in the Dallas''Fort Worth metroplex in Fort Worth. Dallas is also home to many global corporations, including the largest energy company in the world ExxonMobil, the largest Telecommunication company in the world AT&T, and the company where the microchip was first invented Texas Instruments. The Dallas metro area is the largest metro area in the South.
- Delta Air Lines, one of world's largest airlines, is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.[10] Atlanta is also home to many global corporations, including The Coca-Cola Company, UPS, CNN,[11] Norfolk Southern, NCR, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.

- Henry Sanders (politician) - Wikipedia
- Henry "Hank" Sanders (born October 28, 1942) is a Democratic member of the Alabama Senate, representing the 23rd District since 1983. He is the longest-serving chair of a legislative budget committee in Alabama, having first been named to Chair of the Senate Finance & Taxation Committee in January 1996 and serving in it for four consecutive terms.
- Early life and education [ edit ] Hank Sanders is the second of 13 children born to Ola Mae and Sam Sanders of Baldwin County, Alabama. He first received his nickname "The Rock" by his mother because of his solid, steady and reliable nature, and that nickname has been adopted as a slogan in his political campaigns for the Alabama Senate. He graduated from Douglasville High School, Talladega College and Harvard Law School, established a law practice (his own firm, Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, and Pettaway),[2] and served as the first African American State Senator from the Alabama Black Belt.[citation needed ]
- At the age of twelve, Sanders was inspired to become a lawyer after reading about Thurgood Marshall in a magazine article.[3] Hank Sanders graduated near the top of his high school class in 1960 and college class in 1967;[citation needed ] winning the Catherine Wardell Award after his freshman year as the "Student who contributed most to Talladega College the previous year". He received a special scholarship to Boston University for his junior year and Harvard Summer School after his sophomore year. He attended Harvard Law School on a Felix Frankfurter Scholarship "for poor young men who show great promise" and served as President of Harvard Black Law Students Association. In 2008, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Talladega College.[4]
- Career [ edit ] Legal career [ edit ] After law school, Sanders won a Ford Foundation Fellowship that sent him to Africa for a year and a Reginald Heber Smith fellowship that sent him to Huntsville, Alabama to work for the poor with Legal Services. In 1971, Hank began Chestnut, Sanders, Sanders, and Pettaway, P.C., at one time the largest Black law firm in Alabama and one of the largest in the country. His law practice has been one of service helping poor and Black people save their lands, protecting Constitutional rights of citizens, incorporating new towns and building strong sensitive governmental institutions.
- As a community activist, he helped found or build many organizations including Alabama New South Coalition, where he currently serves as President Emeritus; 21st Century Youth Leadership Movement; Alabama Lawyers Association; Black Belt Human Resources; The National Voting Rights Museum and Institute; C.A.R.E. (Coalition of Alabamians Reforming Education); the Slavery and Civil War Museum, and many others. In 2007, Sanders received the Federation of Southern Cooperatives Estelle Witherspoon Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding work over a lifetime.
- Alabama Senate [ edit ] Hank Sanders was first elected to the Alabama State Senate in 1983 and has championed issues pertaining to education, children, health, women, and removing sales tax from food. He served as Chairman of the powerful Finance and Taxation Education Committee; selected as Outstanding Legislator by the Alabama Legislative Black Caucus; voted a finalist in the Legislator of the Year Award by his fellow senators, and received a 1999 Nation Builder Award from the National Caucus of Black State Legislators. As part of his accountability, Sanders writes a weekly column entitled "Senate Sketches" which is published widely. He has three weekly radio programs: Sunday School Lesson, Radio Education, and Law Lessons.
- Sanders received attention for a robocall he recorded in 2010 warning of a possibility of "going back to the cotton fields of Jim Crow days" in the 2010 Alabama elections. He said he was "mad as hell" and did not want to go back in time in Alabama.[5]
- Author [ edit ] Sanders wrote and published a novel, Death of a Fat Man, in 2004. In his novel, Hank shares the pain, suffering, and triumphs of struggles with obesity and imminent death. The 420-page book is written in vignettes, framed as short letters from an obese grandfather to a four-year-old granddaughter already showing signs of obesity. When Sanders started writing the book he could hardly walk. Even the short distance from the senate chamber to his office in the State House, or from his Selma law office to the parking lot, were extremely difficult. While he continued to struggle with arthritis after the publication of the novel, he moved around better and subsequently went through a double knee replacement surgery. The surgery, performed at the Kirklin Clinic at the University of Alabama in Birmingham in 2008, was successful, and Sanders now walks two miles daily.[6]
- In addition to authoring his novel, Death of a Fat Man, Sanders is working another book,[when? ] The Gift of Struggle.[citation needed ] He speaks widely, especially to youth.[citation needed ]
- Personal life [ edit ] He is married to Faya Ora Rose Tour(C), formerly Rose M. Sanders, and they have three children by birth, four by foster relationship, and many others by heart. He is a member and official Sunday School Reviewer of the Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Selma.[citation needed ]

- Nahshon Garrett - Wikipedia
- Nahshon Garrett Personal informationFull nameNahshon GarrettNationalityAmericanBorn ( 1993-08-21 ) August 21, 1993 (age 27) Chico, CA Height5'- 5"SportSportWrestling Event(s) freestyleCollege teamCornell UniversityNahshon Garrett (b. 21 August 1993) is an American collegiate and freestyle wrestler best known for winning the 133 pound NCAA Division 1 National Championship in 2016. After the 2020 General Election, he appeared on the Laura Ingraham show, detailing apparent election fraud carried out in his name.
- Early life [ edit ] Nahshon Garrett was born in Chico, California, the son of Golden Sizemore and Alvin Garrett, and grew up with two brothers and four sisters. He attended Chico High School[1]and graduated from Cornell University with a degree in developmental sociology in 2016.[2] Garrett started wrestling at the age of 13.[1]
- Wrestling career [ edit ] Wrestling on the Cornell team, Garrett won the 133 pound NCAA Division 1 National Championship in 2016. He finished the 2015''2016 season with a perfect 37-0, and was the 2016 EIWA Wrestler of the Year.[3] A four-time All American for Cornell University, his collegiate career record was 149-12, and he was selected for membership in the Quill and Dagger society.[4]
- Garrett competed at the 2016 Freestyle Wrestling Olympic Trials, losing a controversial match to Tony Ramos. In the match Garrett was leading 3-2 when he was hit with a stalling penalty point just seconds before the end of the match, giving Ramos the victory by decision.[5]
- After graduating from Cornell University, Nahshon moved to Arizona State University to train with Sunkist Kids and pursue an international wrestling career.[6] In 2019 he moved to Tennessee to train for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
- 2020 election controversy [ edit ] Garrett appeared on Fox News, interviewed by news anchor Laura Ingraham on November 14th, 2020. Ingraham pointed out that his name was used to cast a vote in Arizona in the U.S. 2020 General Election according to images allegedly obtained from Maricopa County's voter portal. After receiving a voice message from The Voter Integrity Fund, a pro-Trump "voter integrity" group headed by Matt Braynard,[7] Garrett said he checked Arizona voting records and found a vote had been recorded as cast in his name.
- In this appearance[8] Garrett asserted that he never received an Arizona absentee ballot or application for a mail-in ballot. Garrett who, according to his statement, had not lived in Arizona since July of 2019, believed that a mail-in ballot may have been sent to his previous address and then filled out and cast in his name. Garrett claimed that he looked up records in four official sources connected with Maricopa County, which were not disclosed in the interview, and each source confirmed that the ballot had been signature verified and counted. The host Laura Ingraham questioned the odds of an irregularity only happening to Garrett. However, she did not let him reply before switching the subject to what weight class he expected to compete in for the upcoming Summer Olympics.

- Detailed Turnout Data Shows How Georgia Turned Blue - The New York Times
- Democrats have long dreamed of turning Georgia blue, with young voters and nonwhite voters leading a progressive charge. Now, a blue Georgia is a reality, but with a winning coalition that might have stunned the party not that long ago.
- Georgia presidential results by precinct2020 vote margin
- Joe Biden put Georgia in the Democratic column for the first time since 1992 by making huge gains among affluent, college-educated and older voters in the suburbs around Atlanta, according to an Upshot analysis of the results by precinct. The Black share of the electorate fell to its lowest level since 2006, based on an Upshot analysis of newly published turnout data from the Georgia secretary of state. In an election marked by a big rise in turnout, Black turnout increased, too, but less than that of some other groups.
- The findings suggest that Mr. Biden's win in Georgia may not yet herald a new progressive majority in what was a reliably red state, as Democrats still depend on the support of traditionally conservative voters to win statewide. It helps explain why Republican candidates won more votes than Democrats in the state's two Senate contests, even as President Trump was defeated at the top of the ticket.
- But the relatively low Black share of the electorate could mean that Democrats have the potential for a better showing, perhaps even in the two Senate runoffs in January.
- Mr. Trump, who won Georgia by five percentage points in 2016, fell short by 0.3 of a percentage point this time. (A final hand recount is expected to wrap up this week.) Over all, Mr. Biden ran well ahead of Hillary Clinton's 2016 showing in well-educated, wealthy and increasingly diverse precincts around Atlanta, while making relatively few gains elsewhere in the state. Just a few decades ago, the ring of suburbs surrounding Atlanta would have counted as some of the most reliably Republican parts of the state.
- Voting shift in Georgia by precinct, 2016-20+10
- Shifts represent change in the two-party vote by precinct from 2016 to 2020. Change in precincts that changed boundaries is approximate.
- In the center of the ring are majority Black precincts on the south side of the Atlanta metropolitan area, where Mr. Biden made few to no gains.
- Democrats routinely win by overwhelming margins among Black voters in Georgia, so Mr. Biden had few opportunities to win majority Black areas by even wider margins. But he did have an opportunity to increase the Black share of the electorate, which fell in Georgia and across the country in 2016.
- How different kinds of places in Georgia changed from 2016 to 2020 Change in share of the two-party vote High-income neighborhoods are precincts where the median household income is $100,000 or more; white areas with fewer college graduates are defined as precincts where more than 80 percent of adults are white and fewer than 25 percent have a college degree; urban and suburban areas are limited to major metropolitan areas.
- Instead, the Black share of the electorate declined once again in Georgia, according to authoritative vote history data from the secretary of state. Black voters represented just over 27 percent of the electorate, down from 27.7 percent in 2016 and down from nearly 30 percent when Barack Obama was on the ballot in 2012.
- Georgia is one of a handful of states where voters are asked their race when they register to vote, yielding an unusually precise account of the racial composition of the electorate.
- The Black share of the electorate fell in Georgia Turnout increased among Black voters, but less than among some other groups Black share of reg. voters
- Black share of all voters
- Black share of reg. voters
- Black share of all voters
- The Black share of the electorate appears to have also dropped in North Carolina '-- another state where voters are asked their race on their voter registration form '-- based on initial data from counties representing about 10 percent of the state's electorate. And there was no evidence of a turnout surge in Detroit or Milwaukee '-- along with an increase in Philadelphia that was smaller than in the state as a whole '-- where Democrats had hoped to reverse disappointing Black turnout from four years ago.
