A clip from The Economist correlates historical lynching rates with modern Black voter registration, which the hosts critique as a form of psychological manipulation. They argue that the Democratic Party uses "ghosts" of the past to scare voters into compliance, citing Joe Biden's "back in chains" rhetoric. The segment compares this to Maryanne Williamson's attempts to "unlock trauma" for political purposes.
Stacey Abrams appears on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she is credited with transforming Georgia's electorate. The hosts scrutinize the claim that Abrams registered 800,000 new voters in just two years, noting that this would represent one-fifth of the state's total voting population. They question the validity of these numbers given her relatively small social media following.
NPR's Audi Cornish and Maya King discuss Stacey Abrams's 2018 loss and her subsequent voter registration efforts. The report claims Abrams registered 200,000 voters for her own race and 800,000 more for 2020. The hosts reiterate that registering one million people in four years in a state with five million voters is "horse crap" and mathematically unbelievable.
Legendary radio host Tom Joyner signed off from his syndicated morning show after 25 years. Joyner was famously credited with registering 250,000 black voters and served as a primary gatekeeper for Democratic politicians. The hosts discuss the decline of traditional radio in the face of podcasting and the shift in target demographics from "boomers" to younger voters.
