Speaker 1 (00:00):
North Carolina is a battleground state, of course, so it'd
be very helpful to Democrats there if Republicans just couldn't
quite get to the polls because of all the damage
from Hurricane Helene. I mean, how aggressive would North Carolina's
Democrat governor be at wanting to get mail in ballads
or whatever else might be necessary in emergency polling place,

(00:21):
whatever might be necessary for those folks to be able
to vote. Bright Bart's Warner Todd Houston joins us to
talk about it. What do you think, Warner.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Boy, Thanks for having me first of all, but yeah,
they sure would love it if all those darned old
Republicans couldn't get to the polls, wouldn't they.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, I think so. I mean, when you consider that,
But you know, right there in the middle of western
North Carolina, which is where the Republican strongholds are, You've
got this city, the very blue city of Asheville, and
I think Asheville certainly they'll be able to vote there,
won't they.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, of course, so I'll probably pull out all the
stops to make sure they vote. It's the other areas
they're non Milton interested in.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, I wonder too, You know, we've got Milton that's
bearing down on Florida. Florida's the red state, so certainly
have Governor Ron DeSantis who's going to do everything humanly
possible to make sure that his citizens can vote. I
don't know how Tampa breaks down politically, If it's I'm
guessing it like any other major city, it's probably more
blue than it is red. But could we be facing
similar problems in a state like Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
You know, it's hard to say. Florida really is much
much better organized for these kinds of things, and it's
much heavier Republican right now for the first time in
so long, so I think they will probably be able
to get that organized much quicker than perhaps North Carolina
or even Georgia for that matter.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Do you see something that fary is happening here? I mean,
could the state of North Carolina? Could the governor declare
such a state of emergency they have to delay the
election there, which then of course delays the entire country.
I mean, can this be done legally? Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Boy, that's a good question. I hadn't even thought of it,
but I do believe it is legally possible to do,
especially when you look at the past history of elections.
Judges usually go for you know, for making things easier
and pushing things off if necessary. So even if it
isn't quote unquote technically legal, it would happen if they

(02:24):
wanted it to happen.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, well that doesn't happen. Thank you, sir, appreciate your time,
Right bart to Morner, Todd Houston
