A strong Black turnout will be integral to Democratic success in the U.S. Senate races in Georgia this week.
In the first of a two-part examination of election strategies in the Georgia runoffs, we sit down with Stacey Abrams, a Georgia Democrat who has become synonymous with the party’s attempts to win statewide, to talk about her efforts to mobilize Black voters.
And we join LaTosha Brown, a leader of Black Voters Matter, as she heads out to speak to voters.
Guest: Audra D.S. Burch, a national correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:
- Control of the Senate could hinge on Black voters in Georgia — and on an ambitious effort by the likes of Black Voters Matter to get them to the polls in the largest numbers ever for the runoff elections on Tuesday.
- Democrats are making their final push to rally supporters, targeting Black voters in regions far from Atlanta but equally important to Georgia’s emerging Democratic coalition.

As president tromp tries once again to overturn the results of the election in Georgia. We begin a two part: look at the democratic and republican Party strategies for the Georgia Senate, one offs on Tuesday today, the Democrats, its Monday
January. Fourth: where is the drama of the night? You were looking at it right there. All those states in yellow those battleground states are too early to call, and any combination of them could turn this into a very interesting night,
so early on election night in November the focus was on the close races and traditional swing states, my Pennsylvania, Michigan Wisconsin, but three days after poles close rigging

hold ahead in Georgia by a thin margin hears it. If Joe Biden is able to win this state, he will have accomplished something that we rarely see here, which even President Obama was unable to win here and then more than two weeks after election day say- and it is just projected President Elect fighting the winner in georgia- it was called is only the third time and more than five decades, that a democrat or independent has won. The state which has been solidly republicans in the streets are an absolute gridlock right now daily produce and Rubber Jemison wasn't Atlanta lot of honking, as you heard all the processes for the past two hours. Since,
The race was called in favour of fighting Harris. How are you guys we're going having yeah yeah? Did you ever think? You would see this kind of thing happened in your lifetime. I am, I think, I hope, like everybody else, but yeah you how black nobody, but God love this. I'm just saying one thing and doing it away anything back that, like we are purple rain now and not read any more and like Blue is about to take over, is just amazing and even that first light. One name kept coming up as responsible for this Stacy Abrams deserves an award. It's amazing, like still seen forums on some had we defeated baby Abrams made away that she led back
She fought for Georgia and I'm so proud, I'm so happy so happy for Georgia. If we could have done this without Her- and I think specifically in Georgia, a lot of talk about voting, a lot of talk from Stacey Abrams and a lot of work she put forward and in the last two years, made a difference.
But already that night Democrats were looking ahead to whether they could do it again. We still have a long way to go.
Because, while Georgia had narrowly voted to allow fighting for president in the two Senate, races, no candidate got more than fifty percent of the vote. Triggering a run off election in January are run off. That would determine which party with control of the? U S, send it right now we want to make, but we gotta get out in bulk and written language about anywhere

favoured Republicans and to win. Democrats may have to turn out even more voters in the run off than they did in the presidential election. A race many believe was already skew towards Democrats by a desire to vote Donald Trump out of office and in Georgia, though, how to rely on a strong turn out by black voters who make up about a third of the electric. If the Democrats do it, how much of that will be because of the work of Stacy Abrams and how did the Democratic Party become so competitive in the state of Georgia? I reader Abrams Robert at the New York Times. Are you can hear us.
a few weeks ago, Robert and I sat down with Stacy Abrams. Can you hear me virtually there? We are we give to you now can hear us. Abrams has had a meteor rise these past few years. I can hear that she's the face of the rejuvenated Democratic Party in Georgia
we now hello. How are you but for her? The story starts a couple of decades ago, when Georgia Democrats were facing something of an identity crisis
Can you help us understand the landscape of Georgia for Democrats at that point, sharp so Democrats who had been in power for one hundred and thirty years lost the governors office in two thousand and two and yes, that's right. Looking before two thousand
Two Democrats held the governors office for a hundred and thirty years, beginning with the election of James Milton Smith in eighteen, seventy one only, but that version of the Democratic Party that had been so dominant in Georgian it wasn't the same as it is now take. Georgia had been a democratic state but being a Democrat had a very different meaning, depending on who you are, and so this is a party that was comprised of rural conservatives, urban business people, black civil rights leaders, northern progressives, who got lost on the way to Florida. You too said this very broad consortium and everyone called themselves a Democrat, but not everyone shared the same value system and when the republican governor was elected, a number of Democrats who had been elected as Democrats to the state Senate switched
and it was a sufficient number of people, switching parties that Republicans then held these state Senate and two thousand for the Republicans one, the state house. Again, we had a number of people who won as Democrats, and then they switched parties upon re election and so Republican

Robbing the elected officials and the voters that came with them, who are jumping from the sinking democratic ship. What happened because of republican success in two thousand and two two thousand and four two thousand and six, was that there was a clear cleaving of belief systems. The your poorly maintained arranged marriage,
of all of those different facets of the Democratic Party had fallen apart and the Republicans not only they they got.
We think they wanted in the divorce. They got the house, they got the car, they got custody of everything so, and it was at that point that Abrams decided

It I borrowed from my parents, my mom and dad at the age of forty became United Methodist Ministers, which is what brought us to Georgia Abrams, groping, Mississippi, but move to Georgia and high school when our parents decided to pursue theology degrees at every university ring people in their old text, books about church building became a starting point for Abrams thinking about party strategy, and I actually studied those theological text to think about. Ok, how do you grow at church? How'd? You grow a party. How do you grow a cogent philosophical political ethic, and
It's in the midst of transition. First piece for me was thinking about what do we stand for? I put together a twenty one, page deck based on

One thing I learned from my mom, who had to combine three churches in was growing her church in Mississippi was that she said you meet people where they are not where you want them to be. If you want a community to trust you, they need to believe that you understand their pain. In twenty thirteen, I deployed the staff that I built to go across the state and hold listening sessions and we intentionally held them in rural parts of Georgia, where there were very few people, color and possibly no Democrats, but we found a few, but we went to every region and we talked about again at education, economics and shared responsibility. I did a korean radio show for one session, where I got on the radio every Friday and let it get translated in Korean. It was one of the slowest shows in human history

My mission is to have a clear, resounding message that is bold and ambitious and that its detailed and that we take to every single voter. I wanted to be the governor. I wanted to deliver on these ideas, but my only credible way of running was to test my theory. What we are doing differently is that we spent the bulk of our investment not on television but on the ground, building an army
that we believe we can scale and we can take the entire state with by November and that November, when she faced off against a republican opponent.
We not only increased our performance among every single one of those communities of color

Suppression questioning the integrity of the race, I think, is extremely damaging to the country. She failed. She's got to explain to her donors and keep Democrats agitated there's another raise coming up to two years.
Ten days after the election, this is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge and action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot conceive that, but my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy. Abrams finally, formerly ended her candidacy,

oh and media groups in the past two months have compare her behaviour to that of president trumps in the wake of his own election laws. Here's what she had to say about that when I refused to concede- and two thousand eighteen when I said very clearly first was acknowledged the legal sufficiency of the election, but I challenged the legitimacy of a system that would silence voters by contrast, Donald Trump and his view. Adjutants have falsely pushed a narrative of mythical voter fraud that has been rejected by Democrats, Republicans via conservatives and liberals by the Supreme Court. There is no equivalence between us. Those of us fighting voter suppression are right
and those who are working to undermine our democracy by the nine agency to american voters are wrong, agree or disagree. What is undeniable is that Stacey Abrams strategy contributed to getting her much closer than any other democratic candidate for governor, since the party lost state control in two thousand and two and of course

Why do you think the recognition feels different now? So I think a couple of things I think one I think they're black women uniquely sit at the intersection of sexism and racism which occur
I think it's the two headed dragon of oppression that has been
