1
We've got a pretty wild update to get to regarding the midterm elections as Mississippi has new votes coming in.
2
Scott Colombe, the Democrat, increases his lead, but not without insane amounts of voter suppression.
3
Hey folks, my name is Dave Neal.
4
I'm a stand -up comic and host of the Rush Hour podcast.
5
Forgive my aesthetic, I am recording here in the car on the way to a stand -up show tonight in Atlanta, Georgia.
6
If you happen to see this and want to come to the show, by all means, we'll be at Helium Comedy Club at 7 .30.
7
But in the meantime, while I charge my car, let's get into these updates.
8
Scott Colombe, the Democrat running for office, is winning and winning by enough to call this race.
9
But what we're learning is they threw out way more of the provisional ballots than they even anticipated.
10
He continues to expand his lead.
11
So I'm going to dive into this article.
12
We'll share what Scott Colombe actually has to say.
13
But check this out.
14
Mississippi's newest barrier to voting is Experian Data, brother of slain civil rights activist rights.
15
So 62 years after this man's death, the Andrew Goodman Foundation is working to register Mississippi students to vote.
16
This man was killed 62 years ago because he was trying, and he was killed by the KKK, murdered him on June 21st,
17
1964, because he was trying to get black Mississippians to vote.
18
An affidavit ballot is what Mississippi calls a provisional ballot, or ballots that for various reasons must undergo additional scrutiny.
19
Some may have used an affidavit ballot because they did not have a photo identification on them.
20
Others, because a poll worker could not find their name on the rolls.
21
Estimates of what is still unresolved nationwide run from 12 ,000 to 18 ,000 ballots in a U .S.
22
Senate race that has not been called.
23
So they registered all of these voters.
24
Then they show up and check this out.
25
Watson's office flagged them by using address data from Experian, the credit bureau, under a $50 ,000 contract last year to clean the rolls statewide.
26
Mississippi Today has reported that the data is unverified and wrongly inactivated legitimate voters.
27
How messed up is this?
28
So here's the latest updates regarding the Mississippi race.
29
Now, this is huge for democracy that it was too big to rig, but this is what they've done for absolute decades.
30
And this is why we need a better system.
31
We need a better system where you can't do all of these shenanigans to delegitimize people's votes.
32
Mississippi U .S.
33
Senate 807 Hines County Affidavit Votes.
34
Scott Colom is up plus 703.
35
And nationwide, he's increasing his lead to almost 4 ,000.
36
So he's netting votes.
37
Even with them trying to stop the counting and stop people from getting their votes counted, he's continuing to defy all odds.
38
The Mississippi Secretary of State purged thousands of voters from the voter rolls using credit card data, preventing thousands of people from voting.
39
It could have cost Cologne the election if it were slightly closer.
40
That office should be a top target for Democrats next year.
41
Listen, Mississippi's a blue state now.
42
It's not going back.
43
Now that they're going to be able to get enough eyeballs on these situations
44
and call out these racist and illegal acts of voter suppression, you're going to have to try.
45
And by the way, if you're a Republican, just try to win on policy.
46
Don't win by gerrymandering and voter suppression
47
and closing down polling locations in cities where people don't have to wait in line all day long.
48
And, you know, they pray off of cities because cities tend to vote more for Democratic candidates.
49
So breaking news, Democrat Scott Cullum's lead in the Mississippi Senate race has increased to 4 ,400 votes.
50
And they say, just call the effing race already.
51
I mean, they're literally splitting hairs now.
52
Scott Colombe has won.
53
He's going to get onboarded late.
54
All eyes are going to be on him.
55
And this is a guy that is taking the country by storm.
56
Nobody thought he had a chance.
57
Literally nobody.
58
I wanted to share what Scott Colombe had to say.
59
Mississippi using the credit card agency to scrub voter rolls.
60
Here's his response to this information.
61
Do you want to stop using credit data or
62
that the legislature should pass a law restricting him from using this type of data?
63
Absolutely.
64
And Spearier told him they were not reliable, and he did it anyways.
65
So I think that this chaos is the result of that decision.
66
And it's not me just saying it.
67
The reporting about this has been great.
68
Republicans and, you know, Republican counties with election commissioners, I don't know their political parties, doesn't really matter, but people in Rankin County,
69
people in Lee County are saying this was chaotic.
70
You know, I said at the primary that I had a good friend who voted in the primary.
71
luckily he's gonna be out of color election day
72
so he voted after t he votes for everything it didn't matter
73
if it was dog catching this guy votes
74
and they moved him to inactive status and luckily he called it
75
and got it fixed but our secretary of state why did he use experience
76
when they told him it was unreliable yeah and again let me cut that off there
77
As far as I'm concerned, excuse me, hold on my lap top up.
78
As far as I'm concerned, they all have to be investigated.
79
We need a system that is a national day of voting.
80
We need to make it easier to vote.
81
And by the way, this is what
82
Trump tried to do with the SAVE Act.
83
Remember, the SAVE Act wasn't about voter rights.
84
It wasn't about voter integrity and voter safety.
85
It was about making it harder for people to register, making it harder for women to vote.
86
Women might tend to vote more
87
Democrat, depending on where you live, but making it harder for them to vote because if they ever changed their name due to marriage,
88
they'd have to produce a birth certificate.
89
Let me ask you guys this.
90
Can you find your birth certificate today?
91
I know some of you can.
92
I've traveled a lot for a million bucks.
93
I couldn't tell you where the hell my birth certificate is.
94
And vote, you should be allowed to have same day registration.
95
You should be allowed to show up to a poll with your driver's license and vote.
96
And if for whatever reason they audit your vote
97
and find out maybe you're not a legal citizen
98
or whatever the case may be that should have already been worked out
99
when you got your license in the first place
100
or what other other document you have
101
so vote like illegal voting essentially is not an issue
102
it's it's on such a minimal level in most cases it's done by people whose spouse died
103
and then they vote on their behalf um
104
it it literally has been happened to several republicans where husband dies oh i knew he wanted to vote
105
so so then
106
when the mail -in ballot comes to vote on their behalf that's illegal people have been caught
107
but this idea that we can take a whole group of people make them inactive
108
and just hope that they're so broke so busy
109
so you know you know worried about their own lives
110
that they're not going to take the time to go through the system to figure
111
it all out i gotta tell you
112
and again i don't know who to blame on this one whether experian was in on it
113
or whether they were just like taking the government contract but these credit agencies are so insanely corrupt.
114
I got my credit knocked down.
115
I spent my whole life with a perfect credit, literally as good as it can be.
116
The company that was paying my student loans stopped doing auto payments without my knowledge.
117
And I missed several payments and it knocked my credit score down hundreds of points.
118
And there was nothing I could do about it.
119
And then I couldn't get a good loan because I had bad credit score.
120
So credit score is such a problematic system in the first place for so many reasons.
121
Like why is it you can pay your rent for 20 years straight and then still can't afford to buy a home,
122
even if you've showed that you're a, you know, sort of a reliable person.
123
So the credit scores find a new way to mess with people.
124
And unfortunately for the Republicans in this case, it wasn't enough because Scott Cullum's winning by a large enough margin.
125
But I tell you what, man, it's scary out there.
126
It's scary to think as naive as someone like me might be, and I cover the news,
127
to think that this is still happening in today's world.
128
62 years after a man was murdered by the KKK, all because he was inspiring people to vote.
129
That's what Charlie Kirk was doing, right?
130
He was getting
131
Republicans out to vote at college campuses.
132
Say what you want about him, but I appreciate that there's infrastructure to help people learn how to get registered to vote.
133
I think, and I think the Republican Party wouldn't like this, I think it should be easier to get registered to vote.
134
I think younger people would be more likely to vote.
135
You know, they move around, college town, they're back home with their family, they're living on someone's couch.
136
Sometimes it's just like hard when you're a young adult to know even where to vote.
137
I remember when I was in college, I was like, what's my county?
138
How do I, like they make it challenging for you.
139
It shouldn't be that way.
140
It should be a national holiday.
141
And also elections should be publicly funded.
142
Our tax dollars would be better spent going to candidates
143
so they all had the same amount of money so
144
that they couldn't pull any shenanigans
145
and have elon musk spend a bunch of money to smear others um
146
it would be better for our tax dollars to go to
147
that versus private money going to that
148
and then tax cuts for the ultra wealthy make it so
149
that our tax dollars like we pay a higher percentage in taxes than rich people do
150
because they donate to the um
151
you know to the politicians who are you know maybe not voting on things like taxing the ultra wealthy and whatnot.
152
So again, just a thought.
153
Unbelievable to see this play out.
154
But here it is.
155
It's not going to be enough.
156
Call the race.
157
Call it already.
158
Mississippi is blue, baby.
159
And as a relocated
160
New Englander to Tennessee, I got to tell you, it would be the blue wave will reach its final destination when Tennessee is blue.
161
But in the meantime, congrats to our neighbor of the south or, you know, close enough neighbor to the south.
162
Someone give me a map.
163
We are happy for you.
164
All right, Atlanta, I'll see you tonight.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
