Speaker 1 (00:00):
Steve mos Sterry joins as former Texas GOP Sherman and Steve.
You know, the longer you have to wait for the results,
the more you start to internally question the results that
you're getting. So what do you think is going to
happen the morning after the election?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, if any race is any state has a race
that's close, you have to remember that overseas and military
ballots are counted after the election day so long as
their postmarked before the election day, and each state has
different rules at about that. But in Texas, for example,
(00:34):
overseas and military ballots are counted up to six days.
But if there's a holiday, and this year there is,
military ballots that are coming in Texas can be counted
up to one week after the election day, and regular
mail in ballots can be counted up until the next
(00:54):
day until five pm. So all the votes won't even
be in theoretically for a week. So if you have
a close election, one like we had Michigan with ten
thousand I think it wasn't sixteen eleven thousand in Georgia
last time, it could certainly be a week. And then
you have situations like Bush versus Gore that want weeks
(01:17):
in weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, and I was reading about this military We call
them military ballots, and we all want our military to
be able to vote. But that's just a small percentage
of what the foreigners abroad living in foreign countries abroad Americans,
and some of them have never even lived in America,
but they have American citizenship and they are able. And
the Democrats are doing a program now, they're trying to
(01:40):
get nine million of these votes.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, and the Republican Party in the past, but I'm
not sure they have a program now. But when I
was on the RN see, there was actually Republicans abroad
and it was a regular group that met and organized,
and you know, we already it was legal, but we
try to harvest all those votes. And I would presume
(02:05):
that the Democrats are doing the same. So if for
anybody that worries about mail in ballots, I'm one that
always worries about mail in ballots in a close election,
those ballots could be the difference if you have a
razor thin margin. And if you look at the states
of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin right now, and even North Carolina,
(02:28):
those are all races that look like they're on the
razor's edge.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah they are. It's gonna be interesting, to say the least. Steve,
