00:00 the- okay works. With mark to
00:13 the- I'm here for good and bad
00:21 reasons to a degree. For over
00:24 three years now. We have had
00:26 people lying about our
00:28 elections in Georgia. We have
00:31 now begun to see the
00:32 accountability of that take
00:33 place so yesterday afternoon.
00:37 We received. Our first
00:40 restitution check from Sidney
00:42 McCarty. She has been
00:44 responsible for the lives of
00:46 voters in the people of Georgia.
00:49 Is twenty seven hundred dollars.
00:50 But the lies that she
00:52 perpetrated. In behalf of an
00:54 overall greater lie has
00:55 undermined people's faith in
00:56 our systems and our country and
00:58 their fellow Americans. It was
01:02 wrong then the- tides that have
01:05 come from that have continued
01:06 to damage families and election
01:08 workers and Georgians and
01:10 Americans. We have to take
01:13 responsibility for that and
01:13 accountability across the board.
01:16 Georgia does a fantastic job
01:20 running elections. We are
01:22 voted number two by heritage
01:24 foundation and election
01:25 integrity. We're tied for
01:26 Colorado election
01:27 administration by the-
01:29 bipartisan policy center. Our
01:31 laws are secure the twenty
01:33 twenty election was the most
01:35 secure election American
01:36 history. The twenty two
01:37 twenty two election was more
01:39 secure than the twenty one
01:40 twenty two election. And we
01:41 have to take responsibility for
01:43 that and let me tell you some
01:44 of the things that the
01:44 secretary has done to already
01:46 achieve these goals. Just today
01:49 the final inspection was done
01:50 by the part of homeland
01:51 security in conjunction with
01:52 the Georgia emergency
01:53 management agency of every
01:55 location that holds our
01:56 physical equipment. That's done
01:57 today we're expecting a report
01:59 on that. Very soon there been
02:01 seventy seven completed health
02:03 checks. In counties around
02:04 Georgia behind for nine
02:05 thirty three that are underway
02:06 right now going to eighty. We
02:08 have a new system that is
02:10 running elections in a hundred
02:11 and twenty two counties. The
02:12 success is much higher than any
02:14 individual BMD or machine.
02:16 Jarvis has been a success so
02:18 far. We're running elections in
02:20 a hundred and twenty two
02:21 counties as we speak. We're
02:23 piloting a new version of our
02:24 software for the dominion
02:25 voting system five point one
02:26 seven five counties. So far
02:29 that elections of those
02:30 elections going very smoothly.
02:31 There are I guess at a hundred
02:33 and twenty two counties
02:34 conducting elections on state
02:35 equipment right now. Which we
02:36 have nearly a hundred thousand
02:38 people in the state. And we're
02:39 going to be running elections
02:40 on the new poll pads. The new
02:42 poll pads at another layer of
02:44 security because we keep
02:45 everything on what is called
02:47 e-polls a separate cloud based
02:48 system. Than having to have
02:49 two thousand individuals around
02:51 the state. Log in directly into
02:53 our voter registration system.
02:54 This office in this legislature
02:56 in this governor are investing
02:58 in doing every single day the
03:00 necessary work. To keep our
03:02 election secure. This check. If
03:06 you didn't believe the three
03:07 hundred and twenty one counties
03:09 that we're running elections on
03:10 state equipment. You didn't
03:12 believe the court cases. This
03:13 check shows you she says yes I
03:17 lied. Some other co conspirators
03:20 have also admitted they lied.
03:22 They probably did it for
03:23 purposes they thought were
03:25 gallant and noble fighting for
03:26 the- values and causes they
03:28 believe in but you have to
03:30 follow the law. This office
03:32 about following the law doing
03:33 the right thing investing
03:35 in the right people. This is
03:37 about taking the responsible
03:39 steps to keep our election
03:40 secure. They're gonna be those
03:42 who oppose the steps we take
03:44 and they want to see failure.
03:46 Election deniers have been
03:48 cast out by the voters of
03:49 Georgia we saw Stacey Abrams we
03:50 saw with Donald Trump support
03:51 candidates we saw people who
03:52 said the election was still in
03:53 the twenty twenty two primary.
03:55 They lost. The voters of Georgia
03:58 rejected them. We need to move
04:00 on to have elections not about
04:02 stolen elections they need to be
04:03 about the values you wanna fight
04:04 for. We have to have a
04:06 political. We have to have a
04:08 politics based in truth. And
04:11 accountability this is step one
04:13 it's a small step this the
04:15 damage that was done is
04:16 incalculable. You can't put in
04:18 a monetary figure on it but
04:19 this is at least a start. So
04:21 when I go over all the specific
04:23 things that the secretary's
04:24 office is doing every day. In
04:26 fact today the secretaries in
04:28 south Georgia visiting two
04:29 different elections office in
04:30 Dorie county in Thomas county.
04:32 And going out to make sure they
04:33 know that they're not being
04:34 manipulated. And this is
04:36 another thing it's a
04:37 vindication for those not just
04:39 elections workers in Georgia.
04:41 Not just Ruby Freeman shame
04:42 loss but the thousands of
04:44 election workers around Georgia
04:45 in the tens and hundreds of
04:46 thousands of election workers
04:47 around this country. I've talked
04:49 to people around this country
04:50 elections workers their lives
04:51 been turned upside down. They
04:53 received death threats. Their
04:55 families of internals down. One
04:57 of the big things about this is
04:59 thanksgiving is coming up.
05:01 And I'm not going to lie to you
05:03 I'm not going to lie to you
05:05 I'm not going to lie to you.
05:06 I'm going to tell you the truth
05:08 based on this lie. And that's
05:10 what it is. At some point
05:12 earlier on because yes I have
05:13 questions at this point the
05:15 questions are answered. The
05:18 courts are spoken. This
05:20 restitution check is a small
05:21 part of that. But it's an
05:22 important part of it because
05:23 it's real it's tangible in this
05:24 money will be invested in
05:25 further election security. So
05:27 without taking questions I'm
05:28 going to ask you to please
05:31 stand up. I'm going to ask you
05:33 to please stand up. I'm going
