00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,300
I already know your candidate.
By the way, I know everyone.
3
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:11,700
I even vote for the Guardianship Council.
4
00:00:12,346 --> 00:00:14,350
Wow. She smacks.
5
00:00:17,918 --> 00:00:20,771
Get my sticker ready,
George I'll be right back to get it.
6
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:23,355
- Hi, Mr. Reem.
- Hi, Marie.
7
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:24,690
- Hi, Mr. Reem.
- Hi, Marie.
8
00:00:24,692 --> 00:00:25,557
Who are you going to vote for?
9
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:26,725
Oh, I bet you would like to know.
10
00:00:26,727 --> 00:00:27,393
Oh, I bet you would like to know.
11
00:00:27,395 --> 00:00:28,460
You are so lucky! I'll still haveYou have to wait six years before you can vote.
12
00:00:28,462 --> 00:00:29,395
You are so lucky! I'll still have
You have to wait six years before you can vote.
13
00:00:29,397 --> 00:00:30,062
You are so lucky! I'll still have
You have to wait six years before you can vote.
14
00:00:30,064 --> 00:00:31,163
This goes faster
than you think.
15
00:00:31,165 --> 00:00:31,864
This goes faster
than you think.
16
00:00:31,866 --> 00:00:32,898
The beauty of our system �
that when your turn comes,
17
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:35,200
The beauty of our system �
that when your turn comes,
18
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:38,800
your vote will be so important
as all the others.
19
00:00:42,443 --> 00:00:43,108
- In fact...
20 00:00:43,778 --> 00:00:45,144
20
00:00:45,146 --> 00:00:45,811
Some votes are much more
important than others.
21
00:00:45,813 --> 00:00:46,512
Killer!
22
00:00:46,514 --> 00:00:47,446
Damn it! I'm not a killer!
I am Adam Conover.
23
00:00:47,448 --> 00:00:48,514
Damn it! I'm not a killer!
I am Adam Conover.
24
00:00:48,516 --> 00:00:49,648
Damn it! I'm not a killer!
I am Adam Conover.
25
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:52,400
And this is Adam Ruins Everything.
26
00:01:01,928 --> 00:01:04,500
Putz. I have to stop
to surprise people.
27
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,300
I've been wasting so much milk.
28
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,333
Mr. Conover, I am trying to vote.
29
00:01:08,335 --> 00:01:11,800
The voting booth is oneSacred space, now get out of here.
30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,250
In fact, despite the
our good intentions,
31
00:01:14,350 --> 00:01:15,307
our system is much less
democratic than we think.
32
00:01:15,309 --> 00:01:16,975
our system is much less
democratic than we think.
33
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:17,976
This is not true. I
I love our democracy.
34
00:01:17,978 --> 00:01:19,678
This is not true. I
I love our democracy.
35
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,680
Me too, but she has many points to
be improved. Want me to show you?
36
00:01:21,682 --> 00:01:22,481
Me too, but she has many points to
be improved. Want me to show you?
37
00:01:22,483 --> 00:01:23,782
Me too, but she has many points tobe improved. Want me to show you?
38
00:01:23,784 --> 00:01:25,951
Go ahead, boy.
39
00:01:25,953 --> 00:01:27,286
OK!
40
00:01:27,288 --> 00:01:29,988
This is a map of the USA.
41
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:30,656
Are you sure? Looks
a dying turkey.
42
00:01:30,658 --> 00:01:32,257
Are you sure? Looks
a dying turkey.
43
00:01:32,259 --> 00:01:32,958
Yeah. I don't have much
motor coordination.
44
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:34,927
Yeah. I don't have much
motor coordination.
45
00:01:34,929 --> 00:01:35,928
Let me try. I
teaching Artistic Education.
46
00:01:35,930 --> 00:01:36,595
Let me try. I
teaching Artistic Education.
47
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:38,097
Let me try. I
teaching Artistic Education.
48
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:39,064
Let me try. I
teaching Artistic Education.
49
00:01:42,369 --> 00:01:43,802
Thank you, Donna.
51 00:01:43,804 --> 00:01:46,138
50
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:47,673
Every four years, we hear the words
"electoral colleges" are repeated to exhaustion.
51
00:01:47,675 --> 00:01:49,408
Every four years, we hear the words
"electoral colleges" are repeated to exhaustion.
52
00:01:49,410 --> 00:01:51,300
But we never stop for
talk about how ridiculous and,
53
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:52,211
honestly, no
democratic is this system.
54
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:53,645
honestly, no
democratic is this system.
55
00:01:53,647 --> 00:01:54,379
honestly, no
democratic is this system. 58
56
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:57,683
The electoral college grants much
more power to some voters
57
00:01:57,685 --> 00:01:58,917
depending on the state in which they live.
58
00:01:58,919 --> 00:01:59,785
depending on the state in which they live.
59
00:01:59,787 --> 00:02:00,919
Big states?
60
00:02:00,921 --> 00:02:02,187
No, smaller states.
61
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:03,989
If your state has less
people, you have more power.
62
00:02:03,991 --> 00:02:05,791
If your state has less
people, you have more power.
63
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:09,300
Few people live in Wyoming,
but they have three electoral votes.
64
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,664
That is, one for every 135,000 voters.
65
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:17,010
California is overpopulated,but only has 55 electoral votes,
66
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:20,172
that is, one for every 411,000 voters.
67
00:02:20,174 --> 00:02:21,600
And that is completely disproportionate,
68
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:26,250
because it means getting a
vote requires triple Californians,
69
00:02:26,350 --> 00:02:26,945
what gives Wyoming voters three
times more power at the polling station.
70
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:28,780
what gives Wyoming voters three
times more power at the polling station.
71
00:02:28,782 --> 00:02:30,149
what gives Wyoming voters three
times more power at the polling station.
72
00:02:30,151 --> 00:02:31,750
The result of this is that your vote countsleast depending on where you live.
73
00:02:31,752 --> 00:02:33,285
The result of this is that your vote counts
least depending on where you live.
74
00:02:33,287 --> 00:02:35,287
The result of this is that your vote counts
least depending on where you live.
75
00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:37,010
Infographic is too much, isn't it?
76
00:02:37,210 --> 00:02:41,393
It sounds kind of unfair, but who cares if
the electoral college is a bit strange.
77
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:42,060
I'm a little weird.
I have two turtles.
78
00:02:42,062 --> 00:02:43,061
I'm a little weird.
I have two turtles.
79
00:02:43,063 --> 00:02:44,363
But it gets even worse, because the college
electoral generates "decisive states". 83
80
00:02:45,833 --> 00:02:47,933
But it gets even worse, because the college
electoral generates "decisive states".
81
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:49,635
Ah, I love decisive states! They
make the election so exciting!
82
00:02:49,637 --> 00:02:50,903
Ah, I love decisive states! They
make the election so exciting!
83
00:02:50,905 --> 00:02:52,171
Just like my turtles
move a little.
84
00:02:52,173 --> 00:02:53,672
Just like my turtles
move a little.
85
00:02:53,674 --> 00:02:54,940
Exciting? I think the whole election is decided
for a few states it's pretty weird. 90
86
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:57,543
Exciting? I think the whole election is decided
for a few states it's pretty weird.
87
00:02:57,545 --> 00:02:59,578
Exciting? I think the whole election is decided
for a few states it's pretty weird.
88
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:00,279
Exciting? I think the whole election is decided
for a few states it's pretty weird.
89
00:03:00,281 --> 00:03:01,346
To start, that means
that presidential candidates
90
00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:02,548
To start, that meansthat presidential candidates
91
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:04,950
they can ignore most of the country.
92
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,119
Hello, America. I am Adam Conover
and I'm running for president
93
00:03:07,121 --> 00:03:08,620
Hello, America. I am Adam Conover
and I'm running for president
94
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:09,621
Hello, America. I am Adam Conover
and I'm running for president
95
00:03:09,623 --> 00:03:12,191
Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
96
00:03:12,193 --> 00:03:16,030
Wow! How I like oranges from
Fl�rida, Philadelphia Cheese Steaks
97
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:17,095
and be there than you
like it in Ohio.
98
00:03:17,097 --> 00:03:18,497
and be there than you
like it in Ohio. 104
99
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,750
{\ an8} Paid for Conover to Presidente Ltda.
Authorized by Adam Conover. {\ an7}
100
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,140
The people of Ohio like LeBron James.
101
00:03:24,150 --> 00:03:25,971
Who? I don't know many actors.
102
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:29,900
In any case, the decisive states
have so much power that in the last elections
103
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,077
80% of the votes cast did not have
no impact on the final result.
104
00:03:32,079 --> 00:03:33,979
80% of the votes cast did not have
no impact on the end result. 111
105
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:36,748
That includes your vote here in California.
106
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:37,616
That includes your vote here in California.
107
00:03:37,618 --> 00:03:38,584
Well, some states are red
and some states are blue.
108
00:03:38,586 --> 00:03:39,985
Well, some states are red
and some states are blue.
109
00:03:39,987 --> 00:03:40,652
Well, some states are red
and some states are blue.
110
00:03:40,654 --> 00:03:42,120
The United States is like that.
111
00:03:42,122 --> 00:03:44,850
In fact, most
of the states is pretty purple.
112
00:03:48,796 --> 00:03:51,730
In 2012, more than 3 million Texans
voted for the Democratic Party. 120
113
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:54,099
I love barbecue, Blake
Shelton and abortion, partner.
114
00:03:54,101 --> 00:03:55,901
I love barbecue, Blake
Shelton and abortion, partner.
115
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:57,302
And almost 5 million Californians
voted for the Republican Party.
116
00:03:57,304 --> 00:03:59,371
And almost 5 million Californians
voted for the Republican Party.
117
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:00,539
High waves, guys! Do you know
should it be tall too?
118
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:01,206
High waves, guys! Do you know
should it be tall too?
119
00:04:01,208 --> 00:04:01,907
High waves, guys! Do you know
should it be tall too? 128
120
00:04:04,078 --> 00:04:04,743
A wall at the border
with Mexico, brother.
121
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:05,711
If the votes of the states were proportional,
16 Texas electoral votes would have gone to Obama
122
00:04:05,713 --> 00:04:06,945
If the votes of the states were proportional,
16 Texas electoral votes would have gone to Obama
123
00:04:06,947 --> 00:04:09,915
If the votes of the states were proportional,
16 Texas electoral votes would have gone to Obama
124
00:04:09,917 --> 00:04:11,416
If the votes of the states were proportional,
16 Texas electoral votes would have gone to Obama 134
125
00:04:13,287 --> 00:04:14,653
and 20 votes from California
They would have gone to Romney.
126
00:04:14,655 --> 00:04:16,240
But in this "winner takes everything" system,
127
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:17,089
anyone who wants to vote for the party
that is weaker in its state
128
00:04:17,091 --> 00:04:18,590
anyone who wants to vote for the party
that is weaker in its state
129
00:04:18,592 --> 00:04:19,958
You can even stay at home.
130
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,226
What the hell!
131
00:04:21,228 --> 00:04:24,530
OK, everyone out! I
I can't stand this chat anymore!
132
00:04:25,232 --> 00:04:26,331
How about we vote now?
133
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:27,299
Wait, who are these people?
134
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:27,966
Wait, who are these people?
145 00:04:27,968 --> 00:04:29,401
135
00:04:29,403 --> 00:04:30,969
These are the voters. They are the people
who, in fact, vote for president.
136
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:32,104
These are the voters. They are the people
who, in fact, vote for president.
137
00:04:32,106 --> 00:04:33,138
I thought that "electoral college"
were just a name.
138
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:34,473
I thought that "electoral college"
were just a name.
139
00:04:34,475 --> 00:04:35,407
No. When we vote, we are only
choosing the voters of our state. 151
140
00:04:36,844 --> 00:04:37,976
No. When we vote, we are only
choosing the voters of our state.
141
00:04:37,978 --> 00:04:38,877
No. When we vote, we are only
choosing the voters of our state.
142
00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:42,195
Then these voters gather and
cast their votes for president.
143
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,549
But who are they?
144
00:04:44,651 --> 00:04:48,140
Most retired politicians
and party people.
145
00:04:49,023 --> 00:04:50,756
I am the rich cousin of the governor.
146
00:04:50,758 --> 00:04:53,125
OK, smart, this is just a technical matter.
159 00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:54,259
147
00:04:54,261 --> 00:04:55,594
They have to vote
whom we choose.
148
00:04:55,596 --> 00:04:56,862
They have to vote
whom we choose.
149
00:04:56,864 --> 00:05:01,318
In fact, in 24 states, they
can vote for who they want.
150
00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:05,170
And that has happened more than 80 times.
151
00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:11,330
In 2004, a Minnesota voter voted
in someone called "John Ewards".
152
00:05:11,530 --> 00:05:14,012
Which was almost his colleague's name
Kerry's sheet metal.
153
00:05:14,014 --> 00:05:14,913
Which was almost his colleague's name
Kerry's sheet metal.
154
00:05:15,048 --> 00:05:16,700
Didn't you mean "John Edwards"?
155
00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:20,626
Yes ... Maybe I havea drinking problem.
156
00:05:20,826 --> 00:05:24,489
- Did this really happen?
- This really happened.
157
00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:26,091
That voter's vote
Didn't go to John Kerry.
158
00:05:26,093 --> 00:05:26,892
That voter's vote
Didn't go to John Kerry.
159
00:05:26,894 --> 00:05:28,460
It was for the guy running
He is vice president.
160
00:05:28,462 --> 00:05:29,795
It was for the guy running
He is vice president.
161
00:05:29,797 --> 00:05:34,400
The electoral college is such a system
It's bad that they have already tried to abolish it for centuries.
162
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,534
But so far, for questions
policies, it was impossible.
163
00:05:35,536 --> 00:05:37,002
But so far, for questions
policies, it was impossible. 177
164
00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:38,870
I can't believe that over time our
Beautiful system has gotten so messed up.
165
00:05:38,872 --> 00:05:40,272
I can't believe that over time our
Beautiful system has gotten so messed up.
166
00:05:40,274 --> 00:05:42,774
I can't believe that over time our
Beautiful system has gotten so messed up.
167
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:44,209
It did not stay. Our founders created
a messy system from the start.
168
00:05:44,211 --> 00:05:45,310
It did not stay. Our founders created
a messy system from the start.
169
00:05:45,312 --> 00:05:46,645
It didn't stay. Our founders createda messy system from the start.
170
00:05:46,647 --> 00:05:48,313
OK, wait a minute, young man.
171
00:05:48,315 --> 00:05:49,247
OK, wait a minute, young man.
172
00:05:49,249 --> 00:05:50,482
You can't talk
so from the Fathers of the Country.
173
00:05:50,484 --> 00:05:52,150
You can't talk
so from the Fathers of the Country.
174
00:05:52,152 --> 00:05:53,618
They were brilliant men who fought
very much for my right to vote.
175
00:05:53,620 --> 00:05:54,653
They were brilliant men who fought
very much for my right to vote.
176
00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:55,387
They were brilliant men who fought
very much for my right to vote.
177
00:05:55,389 --> 00:05:56,355
In fact, the founders of the nation do notThey thought you should be able to vote.
178
00:05:56,357 --> 00:05:57,422
In fact, the founders of the nation do not
They thought you should be able to vote.
179
00:05:57,424 --> 00:05:58,457
In fact, the founders of the nation do not
They thought you should be able to vote.
180
00:05:58,459 --> 00:05:59,424
Or me.
181
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:00,700
Or most Americans.
182
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:04,390
Let's go back in time
for me to prove to you.
183
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,660
They just have a load.
184
00:06:17,977 --> 00:06:21,813
Donna, welcome to Philadelphia, 1787.
185
00:06:21,914 --> 00:06:24,400
My God. It's the vacation
of my dreams.
186
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,420
Look! There are James Madison
and Alexander Hamilton.
187
00:06:28,422 --> 00:06:30,155
Wow ... what's that smell?
188
00:06:30,824 --> 00:06:31,990
Probably arethe chamber pots.
189
00:06:31,992 --> 00:06:33,392
Probably are
the chamber pots.
190
00:06:33,394 --> 00:06:34,259
And this � ...?
191
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:35,394
Hi Ed!
192
00:06:35,396 --> 00:06:38,950
Donna, this is Ed Ayers. He is one
University of Richmond historian.
193
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,250
{\ an8} EDWARD L. AYERS
C�tedra Professor Tucker-Boatwright Richmond University
194
00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:40,600
He came here to do some research.
195
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,567
So you brought a visitor to
know the time of the Fathers of the Fatherland?
196
00:06:42,569 --> 00:06:43,502
So you brought a visitor to
know the time of the Fathers of the Fatherland? 211
197
00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:45,137
Can you tell something about them?
198
00:06:45,139 --> 00:06:45,804
The story is kind of discouraging.
199
00:06:45,806 --> 00:06:46,605
The story is kind of discouraging.
200
00:06:46,607 --> 00:06:49,150
We revere our
founders, as we should,
201
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:51,576
but their ideas about democracy
they were a little bit different from ours.
202
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:52,644
but their ideas about democracy
they were a little bit different from ours.
203
00:06:52,646 --> 00:06:54,246
I can't believe it.
204
00:06:54,248 --> 00:06:55,647
See for yourself. They are
creating our electoral system.
205
00:06:55,649 --> 00:06:56,348
See for yourself. They arecreating our electoral system.
206
00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:57,100
See for yourself. They are
creating our electoral system.
207
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,950
Gentlemen, I propose
to you, kind men,
208
00:07:00,050 --> 00:07:01,019
that we structure America
as a direct democracy,
209
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:04,956
that we structure America
as a direct democracy,
210
00:07:04,958 --> 00:07:06,758
one where each person can
vote directly for president.
211
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,361
one where each person can
vote directly for president.
212
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:11,963
Zu ra!
213
00:07:11,965 --> 00:07:13,331
I'm kidding, guys!
That would be ridiculous!
214
00:07:13,333 --> 00:07:15,000
I'm kidding, guys!
That would be ridiculous! 230
215
00:07:17,905 --> 00:07:19,237
Adams, you believed it. Yes, he believed it!
I saw the face you made!
216
00:07:19,239 --> 00:07:19,905
Adams, you believed it. Yes, he believed it!
I saw the face you made!
217
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:20,572
Adams, you believed it. Yes, he believed it!
I saw the face you made!
218
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:21,506
Why don't they
wanted direct elections?
219
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:22,541
Why don't they
wanted direct elections?
220
00:07:22,543 --> 00:07:23,208
Sincerely? They don't
They believed that we would vote right.
221
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:24,810
Sincerely? They don't
They believed that we would vote right.
222
00:07:24,812 --> 00:07:25,477
Sincerely? They don't
They believed that we would vote right. 239
223
00:07:27,147 --> 00:07:28,280
Put yourself in their shoes. They
They are creating a new country.
224
00:07:28,282 --> 00:07:29,214
They are not sure what will happen.
225
00:07:29,216 --> 00:07:29,915
They are not sure what will happen.
226
00:07:29,917 --> 00:07:30,749
They are worried
with too much democracy
227
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:32,117
They are worried
with too much democracy
228
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:33,185
and think it might be a good idea to have
some dampening between the people and the state.
229
00:07:33,187 --> 00:07:34,719
and think it might be a good idea to have
some dampening between the people and the state. 247
230
00:07:35,989 --> 00:07:36,655
and think it might be a good idea to have
some dampening between the people and the state.
231
00:07:36,657 --> 00:07:38,423
An ordinary man could vote for the
King of England, or for a demagogue.
232
00:07:38,425 --> 00:07:39,925
An ordinary man could vote for the
King of England, or for a demagogue.
233
00:07:39,927 --> 00:07:42,894
Or ... for pets or something.
234
00:07:42,896 --> 00:07:43,562
Or ... for pets or something.
235
00:07:43,564 --> 00:07:44,229
I don't know They are very, very silly.
236
00:07:44,231 --> 00:07:46,231
I don't know They are very, very silly.
255 00:07:46,233 --> 00:07:48,533
237
00:07:48,535 --> 00:07:51,536
But how about if the people choose voters
and these voters choose the president?
238
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:52,671
But how about if the people choose voters
and these voters choose the president?
239
00:07:52,673 --> 00:07:54,773
For example, the rich cousin of
Governor could do that.
240
00:07:54,775 --> 00:07:55,640
For example, the rich cousin of
Governor could do that.
241
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:56,308
For example, the rich cousin of
Governor could do that.
242
00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:57,476
How condescending.
243
00:07:57,478 --> 00:07:59,077
Yeah. They kind of were.
263 00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:00,479
244
00:08:00,481 --> 00:08:01,780
And there was a group of states that struggled with
enough force against direct elections.
245
00:08:01,782 --> 00:08:03,148
And there was a group of states that struggled with
enough force against direct elections.
246
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:03,949
And there was a group of states that struggled with
enough force against direct elections.
247
00:08:03,951 --> 00:08:05,417
The smaller states?
248
00:08:05,419 --> 00:08:06,251
Not exactly.
249
00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:15,210
It would be great if proportional voting took
account of the population of our states.
250
00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:17,762
Even if part of it cannotvote indeed, if you understand what I say.
251
00:08:17,764 --> 00:08:19,464
Even if part of it cannot
vote indeed, if you understand what I say.
252
00:08:19,466 --> 00:08:21,366
Even if part of it cannot
vote indeed, if you understand what I say.
253
00:08:21,368 --> 00:08:23,468
Cof, cof ... slaves!
254
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:25,103
He is talking about slaves!
255
00:08:25,105 --> 00:08:26,605
Are you saying that the slave states
Are they responsible for the electoral college?
256
00:08:26,607 --> 00:08:27,539
Are you saying that the slave states
Are they responsible for the electoral college?
257
00:08:27,541 --> 00:08:28,807
Are you saying that the slave statesAre they responsible for the electoral college?
258
00:08:28,809 --> 00:08:30,008
Well, for the most part.
259
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:31,009
Well, for the most part.
260
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:32,878
The slave states
They were very powerful.
261
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,212
For you to have United States, you
You need to make designs to co-opt them.
262
00:08:34,214 --> 00:08:35,614
For you to have United States, you
You need to make designs to co-opt them.
263
00:08:35,616 --> 00:08:36,615
For you to have United States, you
You need to make designs to co-opt them.
264
00:08:36,617 --> 00:08:37,315
For you to have United States, you
You need to make designs to co-opt them.
265
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:38,517
Look, the Fathers of the Country were notbenevolent demigods.
266
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:39,751
Look, the Fathers of the Country were not
benevolent demigods.
267
00:08:39,753 --> 00:08:40,552
Look, the Fathers of the Country were not
benevolent demigods.
268
00:08:40,554 --> 00:08:41,753
It was human beings who made
compromises and made mistakes.
269
00:08:41,755 --> 00:08:43,388
It was human beings who made
compromises and made mistakes.
270
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:44,723
And make concessions to slavery within
of the governance structure was one such mistake.
271
00:08:44,725 --> 00:08:46,258
And make concessions to slavery within
of the governance structure was one such mistake.
272
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:48,393
And make concessions to slavery withinof the governance structure was one such mistake.
273
00:08:48,395 --> 00:08:49,427
Can you excuse me for a minute?
- Clear.
274
00:08:49,429 --> 00:08:50,095
Can you excuse me for a minute?
- Clear.
275
00:08:50,097 --> 00:08:50,962
Can you excuse me for a minute?
- Clear.
276
00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:53,365
Mr. Conover, that's enough.
277
00:08:53,367 --> 00:08:55,333
I may not know everything,
but I fervently believe
278
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:56,868
I may not know everything,
but I fervently believe
279
00:08:56,870 --> 00:09:02,040
what a fundamental reading, what humor
Gordom Ramsay should be more appreciated
280
00:09:02,140 --> 00:09:06,380
and that even though the Fathers of
might not have been perfect, 301
281
00:09:16,156 --> 00:09:18,630
No, they didn't think that
You should be able to vote.
282
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,159
I know, because I'm a woman.
283
00:09:21,161 --> 00:09:22,594
No, because you have no land.
284
00:09:22,596 --> 00:09:23,295
No, because you have no land.
285
00:09:23,297 --> 00:09:24,429
It's ... and also because you are a woman.
286
00:09:24,431 --> 00:09:25,297
It's ... and also because you are a woman.
287
00:09:25,299 --> 00:09:28,867
All men are created equal ...
288
00:09:28,869 --> 00:09:30,669
If they have land.
289
00:09:30,671 --> 00:09:31,469
Like this guy. He has
a farm. He is just like me.
290
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:32,270
Like this guy. He has
a farm. He is just like me. 312
291
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,006
Now you not so much.
292
00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:36,708
You are not exactly people.
293
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:39,277
Farmers dominate!
Only! Take it!
294
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:41,146
Farmers dominate!
Only! Take it!
295
00:09:41,148 --> 00:09:41,846
Really? Did they think anyway?
296
00:09:41,848 --> 00:09:43,381
Really? Did they think anyway?
297
00:09:43,383 --> 00:09:44,049
We thought, yes. Ask the historian.
298
00:09:44,051 --> 00:09:44,716
We thought, yes. Ask the historian.
299
00:09:44,718 --> 00:09:46,017
We thought, yes. Ask the historian.
300
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:48,750
I'm sorry, Donna ... but it's true.
301
00:09:49,423 --> 00:09:50,522
That's why you should never
meet your heroes. 324
302
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:52,857
When the founders
created our democracy,
303
00:09:52,859 --> 00:09:54,693
When the founders
created our democracy,
304
00:09:54,695 --> 00:09:56,962
gave the right to vote
to only 6% of the population.
305
00:09:56,964 --> 00:09:58,129
gave the right to vote
to only 6% of the population.
306
00:09:58,131 --> 00:10:00,700
And it took a lot
time to change it.
307
00:10:03,669 --> 00:10:07,706
It took 70 years for the vote to be
extended to all white men.
308
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:09,140
It took 70 years for the vote to be
extended to all white men.
309
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:12,300
- White men are the best!- White men are the best!
310
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:14,200
- That's it!
- White men are the best!
311
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:15,513
This is not a good battle cry.
312
00:10:15,515 --> 00:10:17,415
And 14 years later, the 15th Amendment finally
gave voting rights to black men.
313
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:19,050
And 14 years later, the 15th Amendment finally
gave voting rights to black men.
314
00:10:19,052 --> 00:10:20,619
And 14 years later, the 15th Amendment finally
gave voting rights to black men.
315
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:24,122
This will last forever!
316
00:10:26,659 --> 00:10:30,290
It didn't last. Soon after, the states
passed discriminatory laws 340
317
00:10:34,667 --> 00:10:37,702
I honestly don't know how
we justify it to ourselves.
318
00:10:37,704 --> 00:10:38,503
I honestly don't know how
we justify it to ourselves.
319
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:43,508
In 1920, women
finally they could vote.
320
00:10:43,609 --> 00:10:45,477
President Woman,
here we go!
321
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:46,778
President Woman,
here we go!
322
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:49,960
Better wait sitting, honey.
323
00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:55,900
And 45 years after that, the
1965 Electoral Rights finally
324
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,757
ensured the right of all
African Americans to vote. 349
325
00:11:02,529 --> 00:11:03,395
Who are these people? I
I thought everyone could vote.
326
00:11:03,397 --> 00:11:05,363
Who are these people? I
I thought everyone could vote.
327
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:09,150
Unfortunately not. Still there
thousands of US citizens
328
00:11:09,251 --> 00:11:10,235
who pay taxes but
It has no representation.
329
00:11:10,237 --> 00:11:12,337
who pay taxes but
It has no representation.
330
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:14,039
This non-voting group includes
the citizens of Washington, DC ...
331
00:11:14,041 --> 00:11:15,273
This non-voting group includes
the citizens of Washington, DC ...
332
00:11:15,275 --> 00:11:16,408
This non-voting group includesthe citizens of Washington, DC ...
333
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:19,611
650,000 people live in DC and they don't have
representation in Congress. Absurd!
334
00:11:19,613 --> 00:11:20,578
650,000 people live in DC and they don't have
representation in Congress. Absurd!
335
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:21,246
650,000 people live in DC and they don't have
representation in Congress. Absurd!
336
00:11:21,248 --> 00:11:22,113
650,000 people live in DC and they don't have
representation in Congress. Absurd!
337
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:23,415
And the US territories, like
American Samoa, Puerto Rico and Guam.
338
00:11:23,417 --> 00:11:24,516
And the US territories, like
American Samoa, Puerto Rico and Guam. 364
339
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:26,985
We are American citizens, dammit!
340
00:11:26,987 --> 00:11:27,686
We are American citizens, dammit!
341
00:11:27,688 --> 00:11:28,420
And it gets worse -
342
00:11:28,422 --> 00:11:29,587
Worse, of course it is. What other
good people can't vote?
343
00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:30,822
Worse, of course it is. What other
Good people can't vote?
344
00:11:30,824 --> 00:11:31,489
Worse, of course it is. What other
Good people can't vote?
345
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:33,960
Nuns? Volunteers in nursing homes?
346
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:34,926
Tom Hanks?
347
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:36,261
No, damned!
348
00:11:36,263 --> 00:11:40,600
In many states, convicts areprevented from voting for life,
349
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:40,999
even after they are released.
350
00:11:41,001 --> 00:11:41,866
even after they are released.
351
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:43,034
Well, isn't that a good thing?
352
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,502
Well, isn't that a good thing?
353
00:11:44,504 --> 00:11:45,904
I mean maybe they
they should not be able to vote.
354
00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:46,905
I mean maybe they
they should not be able to vote.
355
00:11:46,907 --> 00:11:47,972
Why? I served my sentence.
356
00:11:47,974 --> 00:11:49,407
Why? I served my sentence.
357
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:50,800
What's the worst thing
it could happen?
358
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:54,412
I voted to make crime legal!
359
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:55,180
I voted to make crime legal!
360
00:11:55,182 --> 00:11:57,300
"Purge" time, baby!
387 00:11:58,285 --> 00:12:00,118
361
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,885
Ma'am, this is crazy. You
votes for a candidate.
362
00:12:00,887 --> 00:12:02,387
Ma'am, this is crazy. You
votes for a candidate.
363
00:12:02,389 --> 00:12:03,688
I'm even affiliated
to the Green Party.
364
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:04,422
I'm even affiliated
to the Green Party.
365
00:12:04,424 --> 00:12:05,990
Wow. This is a good point.
I think I'm convinced.
366
00:12:05,992 --> 00:12:07,358
Wow. This is a good point.
I think I'm convinced.
367
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,194
Wow. This is a good point.
I think I'm convinced.
368
00:12:09,196 --> 00:12:10,395
Guys, this subject has a
Very interesting story behind him. 396
369
00:12:11,698 --> 00:12:12,363
Guys, this subject has a
Very interesting story behind him.
370
00:12:12,365 --> 00:12:13,598
You're right, Ed.
371
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,033
To learn more, let's go back
south of the time of segregation.
372
00:12:15,035 --> 00:12:16,434
To learn more, let's go back
south of the time of segregation.
373
00:12:16,436 --> 00:12:18,002
I already said I'm convinced!
374
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:21,239
We are.
375
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:22,974
For 100 years, white southerners have made
all to prevent black southerners from voting.
376
00:12:22,976 --> 00:12:24,743
For 100 years, white southerners have madeall to prevent black southerners from voting.
377
00:12:24,745 --> 00:12:26,177
For 100 years, white southerners have made
all to prevent black southerners from voting.
378
00:12:26,179 --> 00:12:27,812
For 100 years, white southerners have made
all to prevent black southerners from voting.
379
00:12:27,814 --> 00:12:28,480
For 100 years, white southerners have made
all to prevent black southerners from voting.
380
00:12:28,482 --> 00:12:29,247
To the house.
381
00:12:29,249 --> 00:12:31,116
They turned misdemeanors into crimes
382
00:12:31,118 --> 00:12:32,684
They turned misdemeanors into crimes
383
00:12:32,686 --> 00:12:34,753
and then they passed laws sayingthat criminals can't vote for.
384
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:36,121
and then they passed laws saying
that criminals can't vote for.
385
00:12:36,123 --> 00:12:37,255
I would like to vote, please.
386
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:38,389
Are you a criminal?
387
00:12:38,391 --> 00:12:39,200
No, sir.
388
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,227
Now you. Stay
walking around loafing.
389
00:12:42,229 --> 00:12:44,496
Now you. Stay
walking around loafing.
390
00:12:44,498 --> 00:12:45,864
Let's go!
391
00:12:45,866 --> 00:12:47,265
How horrible! I'm glad
these laws were overturned.
392
00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:48,566
How horrible! I'm glad
these laws were overturned.
393
00:12:48,568 --> 00:12:49,634
How horrible! I'm glad
these laws were overturned.
394
00:12:49,636 --> 00:12:50,802
I hate having to tell you, Donna, butMany of these laws remain in force.
395
00:12:50,804 --> 00:12:52,570
I hate having to tell you, Donna, but
Many of these laws remain in force.
396
00:12:52,572 --> 00:12:54,005
I hate having to tell you, Donna, but
Many of these laws remain in force.
397
00:12:54,007 --> 00:12:54,672
I hate having to tell you, Donna, but
Many of these laws remain in force.
398
00:12:54,674 --> 00:12:56,007
And they still prevent
African Americans to vote.
399
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:57,809
And they still prevent
African Americans to vote.
400
00:12:57,811 --> 00:12:59,600
Comes. I will show you.
401
00:13:03,550 --> 00:13:05,517
Donna, this Daryl Atkinson,
402
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:08,600
senior lawyer for the Coalition
Southern for Social Justice. 431
403
00:13:17,697 --> 00:13:18,363
In 1996, I was a primary ruu of a
non-violent drug crime.
404
00:13:18,365 --> 00:13:22,376
I was sentenced to ten years and
I was stuck for almost four years
405
00:13:22,476 --> 00:13:23,735
and when I left, I was able to complete
my education, my law degree.
406
00:13:23,737 --> 00:13:25,503
and when I left, I was able to complete
my education, my law degree.
407
00:13:25,505 --> 00:13:27,305
and when I left, I was able to complete
my education, my law degree.
408
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:28,606
I'm licensed to advocatein two different states.
409
00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:29,574
I'm licensed to advocate
in two different states.
410
00:13:29,576 --> 00:13:30,742
I already received an honor from
President in the White House.
411
00:13:30,744 --> 00:13:32,277
I already received an honor from
President in the White House.
412
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:33,745
But I still can't
vote for my home state.
413
00:13:33,747 --> 00:13:34,479
But I still can't
vote for my home state.
414
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:36,381
And I'm not the only one affected.
415
00:13:36,383 --> 00:13:40,332
As there is a disproportion in the prisons of
African Americans for Nonviolent Crimes
416
00:13:40,432 --> 00:13:41,653
13% of black men in this country cannotvote because of sentencing restrictions.
417
00:13:41,655 --> 00:13:43,021
13% of black men in this country cannot
vote because of sentencing restrictions.
418
00:13:43,023 --> 00:13:44,622
13% of black men in this country cannot
vote because of sentencing restrictions.
419
00:13:44,624 --> 00:13:46,257
13% of black men in this country cannot
vote because of sentencing restrictions.
420
00:13:46,259 --> 00:13:47,892
The summary of the story is that the laws
discriminatory provisions still in force
421
00:13:47,894 --> 00:13:49,394
The summary of the story is that the laws
discriminatory provisions still in force 458
422
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:52,764
are preventing 5 million Americans
like Daryl to vote every year.
423
00:13:52,766 --> 00:13:53,898
are preventing 5 million Americans
like Daryl to vote every year.
424
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:54,933
It's deplorable.
425
00:13:54,935 --> 00:13:55,700
I agree. Have
to run, guys.
426
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:56,935
I agree. Have
to run, guys.
427
00:13:56,937 --> 00:13:57,735
Thank you, Daryl.
428
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:01,206
We need to do something.
429
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:02,774
We need to extend
the vote to these people.
430
00:14:02,776 --> 00:14:04,209
We need to extend
the vote to these people. 468
431
00:14:05,078 --> 00:14:06,144
I already know! I will vote for one
candidate who supports this.
432
00:14:06,146 --> 00:14:07,445
I already know! I will vote for one
candidate who supports this.
433
00:14:07,447 --> 00:14:08,880
Take me back to
the polling place.
434
00:14:08,882 --> 00:14:09,547
Take me back to
the polling place.
435
00:14:09,549 --> 00:14:10,815
What a wonderful idea, Donna.
436
00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:11,482
What a wonderful idea, Donna.
437
00:14:12,152 --> 00:14:13,151
Too bad the political parties
sabotaged the system
438
00:14:13,153 --> 00:14:14,052
Too bad the political parties
sabotaged the system
439
00:14:14,054 --> 00:14:14,886
to determine the outcome of the elections
even before they happen. 478
440
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:16,788
to determine the outcome of the elections
even before they happen.
441
00:14:16,790 --> 00:14:18,389
No!
442
00:14:18,391 --> 00:14:22,540
And I'll tell you all about it on
Adam Ruins Everything: Special Elections .
443
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:25,029
I vote for you
take me Home!
444
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:26,030
I vote for you
take me Home!
445
00:14:44,822 --> 00:14:47,990
Tonight on Election Night
in America: Decision Countries, USA.
446
00:14:47,992 --> 00:14:49,625
Tonight on Election Night
in America: Decision Countries, USA. 486
447
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:55,920
Throughout our history, politicians and
parties used undemocratic means
448
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:58,785
and often fraudulent
to get elected.
449
00:14:58,885 --> 00:15:00,636
I do not want to know. You
It's not Don Lemon.
450
00:15:00,638 --> 00:15:01,904
I do not want to know. You
It's not Don Lemon.
451
00:15:01,906 --> 00:15:03,940
I can
vote please?
452
00:15:03,942 --> 00:15:07,570
In the 19th century, people sold
openly your vote
453
00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:11,207
and made heavy traveling state
to state being paid to vote.
454
00:15:13,083 --> 00:15:15,195
Democracy is certainly useful.
495 00:15:00,275 --> 00:15:03,190
455
00:15:18,610 --> 00:15:20,957
No. Electoral fraud was
common practice also in the 20th century.
456
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:22,258
No. Electoral fraud was
common practice also in the 20th century.
457
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:23,759
Lyndon Johnson won his first election for
the Senate buying votes from entire districts
458
00:15:23,761 --> 00:15:25,561
Lyndon Johnson won his first election for
the Senate buying votes from entire districts
459
00:15:25,563 --> 00:15:27,230
Lyndon Johnson won his first election for
the Senate buying votes from entire districts
460
00:15:27,232 --> 00:15:28,631
and closed with a golden key
502 00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:16,650
461
00:15:31,970 --> 00:15:33,163
Let's go to Texas!
462
00:15:33,363 --> 00:15:35,905
What are the total votes for
Johnson here in Jim Wells County?
463
00:15:35,907 --> 00:15:39,509
LBJ got 765 votes.
464
00:15:42,981 --> 00:15:46,482
LBJ got 965 votes!
465
00:15:46,484 --> 00:15:47,650
Back to you, me.
466
00:15:47,652 --> 00:15:48,718
But things are
better now, right?
467
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,652
But things are
better now, right?
468
00:15:49,654 --> 00:15:50,620
Please say they are.
469
00:15:50,622 --> 00:15:51,287
No.
470
00:15:51,289 --> 00:15:53,122
Until today the parties choose the winners
of elections even before they happened.
471
00:15:53,124 --> 00:15:54,490
Until today the parties choose the winnersof elections even before they happened.
472
00:15:54,492 --> 00:15:56,292
Until today the parties choose the winners
of elections even before they happened.
473
00:15:56,294 --> 00:15:59,912
It is a process called "gerrymandering"
and it's totally cool.
474
00:16:00,112 --> 00:16:03,220
Gerrymandering. � one
Word I've heard. And I hated it.
475
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:03,966
And I have no idea what it means.
476
00:16:03,968 --> 00:16:04,634
And I have no idea what it means.
477
00:16:04,636 --> 00:16:05,868
I will explain to you.
478
00:16:05,870 --> 00:16:08,004
Every ten years, politicians redesign the
districts that elect the state and federal chamber.
479
00:16:08,006 --> 00:16:09,405
Every ten years, politicians redesign thedistricts that elect the state and federal chamber.
480
00:16:09,407 --> 00:16:10,706
Every ten years, politicians redesign the
districts that elect the state and federal chamber.
481
00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:11,707
Every ten years, politicians redesign the
districts that elect the state and federal chamber.
482
00:16:11,808 --> 00:16:12,769
But here's the problem:
483
00:16:12,869 --> 00:16:17,813
the politicians who are elected by these
districts are the same as redesigning them.
484
00:16:17,815 --> 00:16:18,514
the politicians who are elected by these
districts are the same as redesigning them.
485
00:16:18,516 --> 00:16:20,320
What causes a conflict
of insane interests, 528
486
00:16:22,987 --> 00:16:25,221
because it allows parties to decide the outcome
of the elections with years in advance.
487
00:16:25,223 --> 00:16:25,888
because it allows parties to decide the outcome
of the elections with years in advance.
488
00:16:25,890 --> 00:16:28,724
Let's say 40% of voters in NovoStadod�lfia
are members of the Yellow Party.
489
00:16:28,726 --> 00:16:30,092
Let's say 40% of voters in NovoStadod�lfia
are members of the Yellow Party.
490
00:16:30,094 --> 00:16:32,128
Let's say 40% of voters in NovoStadod�lfiaare members of the Yellow Party.
491
00:16:32,229 --> 00:16:34,964
The Yellow Party believes that everyone
Gay men are entitled to carry firearms.
492
00:16:34,966 --> 00:16:36,899
And the other 60% are
Purple Party members.
493
00:16:36,901 --> 00:16:38,234
And the other 60% are
Purple Party members.
494
00:16:38,236 --> 00:16:39,135
The Purple Party believes that
All guns are gay.
495
00:16:39,137 --> 00:16:40,870
The Purple Party believes that
All guns are gay.
496
00:16:40,872 --> 00:16:42,171
Now if you share this
been in fair districts,
497
00:16:42,272 --> 00:16:46,409
you get a perfect representation:
498
00:16:46,411 --> 00:16:47,843
three purple and two yellow districts.
542 00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:33,358
499
00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:49,345
Seems fair.
500
00:16:49,347 --> 00:16:50,246
And �.
501
00:16:50,248 --> 00:16:51,447
But allow the Purple Party to redesign
the districts, they can do that.
502
00:16:51,449 --> 00:16:52,848
But allow the Purple Party to redesign
the districts, they can do that.
503
00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:54,584
But allow the Purple Party to redesign
the districts, they can do that.
504
00:16:54,586 --> 00:16:56,752
Five purple and no yellow districts.
505
00:16:56,853 --> 00:16:59,722
Now we can pass a law releasing
electronic cigarettes for babies.
506
00:16:59,724 --> 00:17:01,924
Now we can pass a law releasing
electronic cigarettes for babies. 551
507
00:17:05,964 --> 00:17:08,064
Three yellow and two purple districts.
508
00:17:08,165 --> 00:17:10,032
Now we can support the death penalty
to all the men named Trevor.
509
00:17:10,034 --> 00:17:11,267
Now we can support the death penalty
to all the men named Trevor.
510
00:17:11,269 --> 00:17:12,034
Now we can support the death penalty
to all the men named Trevor.
511
00:17:12,036 --> 00:17:13,469
The Yellow Party hates Trevors.
512
00:17:14,539 --> 00:17:16,105
Like a proud American Trevor ...
513
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,176
Even if the Yellow Party has
fewer voters in Novostadod�lfia, 559
514
00:17:22,910 --> 00:17:23,145
they can still win.
515
00:17:23,147 --> 00:17:24,180
they can still win.
516
00:17:24,182 --> 00:17:25,781
And that happens in every election.
517
00:17:25,783 --> 00:17:27,083
And that happens in every election.
518
00:17:27,085 --> 00:17:28,417
That seems to be a cheat.
519
00:17:28,419 --> 00:17:29,085
exactly what that .
520
00:17:29,087 --> 00:17:30,353
exactly what that .
521
00:17:30,355 --> 00:17:33,951
In 2012, Republicans of
Pennsylvania lost in the popular vote,
522
00:17:34,051 --> 00:17:36,892
but still got 72%
of chairs in the state
523
00:17:36,894 --> 00:17:38,327
but still got 72%
of chairs in the state 570
524
00:17:41,199 --> 00:17:43,686
and the Maryland Democrats
did the same thing
525
00:17:43,786 --> 00:17:44,233
when they drew this
grotesquely unfair district.
526
00:17:44,235 --> 00:17:45,568
when they drew this
grotesquely unfair district.
527
00:17:45,570 --> 00:17:46,936
when they drew this
grotesquely unfair district.
528
00:17:46,938 --> 00:17:48,337
OK, that's bad.
529
00:17:48,339 --> 00:17:52,470
But maybe it's an effect
inevitable of democracies, no?
530
00:17:52,570 --> 00:17:54,543
In fact, Donna, the only other country
which has a similar system to France.
531
00:17:54,545 --> 00:17:55,678
In fact, Donna, the only other countrywhich has a similar system to France.
532
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,313
In fact, Donna, the only other country
which has a similar system to France.
533
00:17:57,414 --> 00:18:00,161
No! We are not like France!
534
00:18:00,261 --> 00:18:01,530
Oui, hey.
535
00:18:01,819 --> 00:18:02,952
So before voting tonight,
536
00:18:02,954 --> 00:18:04,553
remember that many of the results have already been
decided before you deposit the card.
537
00:18:04,555 --> 00:18:06,289
remember that many of the results have already been
decided before you deposit the card.
538
00:18:06,291 --> 00:18:07,957
remember that many of the results have already been
decided before you deposit the card.
539
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,250
This country really got lost.
587 00:17:56,230 --> 00:17:57,842
540
00:18:13,064 --> 00:18:14,030
Donna, the sections close in 5 minutes.
541
00:18:14,032 --> 00:18:15,610
We have to take you from
back so you can vote.
542
00:18:15,766 --> 00:18:17,870
Why? What's the use?
543
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:20,436
I'm going home.
544
00:18:20,438 --> 00:18:21,737
Wait. Donna! If you wait
a second, I -
545
00:18:21,739 --> 00:18:23,005
Wait. Donna! If you wait
a second, I -
546
00:18:23,007 --> 00:18:24,507
I was about to tell why
It is important that you vote.
547
00:18:24,509 --> 00:18:26,842
I was about to tell why
It is important that you vote.
548
00:18:29,747 --> 00:18:31,570
Well, that was my driving.
549
00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:37,220
Hi, Mr. Reem.
550
00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:39,320
I know you won't metell but i need to know.
551
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:40,392
Who did you vote for?
552
00:18:40,858 --> 00:18:41,942
No one.
553
00:18:42,827 --> 00:18:43,793
It makes no sense to vote.
The system does not work.
554
00:18:43,795 --> 00:18:44,994
It makes no sense to vote.
The system does not work.
555
00:18:44,996 --> 00:18:47,163
America is rubbish.
556
00:18:47,165 --> 00:18:48,631
Do you have a cigarette?
557
00:18:48,633 --> 00:18:49,899
I ... I'm only 12 years old.
558
00:18:49,901 --> 00:18:51,170
Okay, but do you have one?
559
00:19:01,220 --> 00:19:02,820
Damn, it always happens.
560
00:19:06,751 --> 00:19:07,683
Have you proved your
position. I did not vote.
561
00:19:07,685 --> 00:19:08,551
Have you proved your
position. I did not vote.
562
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,119
Donna, I was trying to explain
because it's important that you vote .
563
00:19:10,121 --> 00:19:11,954
Donna, I was trying to explainbecause it's important that you vote .
564
00:19:11,956 --> 00:19:13,022
Donna, I was trying to explain
because it's important that you vote .
565
00:19:13,024 --> 00:19:14,056
So you don't
did a good job.
566
00:19:14,058 --> 00:19:15,057
So you don't
did a good job.
567
00:19:15,893 --> 00:19:17,159
Who is it now?
568
00:19:18,062 --> 00:19:18,728
Finally! It took a while to find
a time travel constituency
569
00:19:18,730 --> 00:19:20,463
Finally! It took a while to find
a time travel constituency
570
00:19:20,465 --> 00:19:22,331
Finally! It took a while to find
a time travel constituency
571
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:23,132
that was working.
620 00:19:07,914 --> 00:19:09,180
572
00:19:24,402 --> 00:19:25,501
But I had to come say to
You don't lose heart, Donna.
573
00:19:25,503 --> 00:19:27,940
The Fathers of the Country said that
"all men are created equal"
574
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,250
and could not be
faithful to the motto in his age,
575
00:19:30,350 --> 00:19:31,407
but they managed to build a machine
that allows us to perfect each generation.
576
00:19:31,409 --> 00:19:32,942
but they managed to build a machine
that allows us to perfect each generation.
577
00:19:32,944 --> 00:19:33,809
but they managed to build a machinethat allows us to perfect each generation.
578
00:19:33,811 --> 00:19:34,643
Now it's our turn.
579
00:19:34,645 --> 00:19:38,920
Look, American democracy is not
perfect but used to be a lot worse
580
00:19:39,020 --> 00:19:39,715
and our system de in fact more
inclusive and democratic than ever before.
581
00:19:39,717 --> 00:19:41,283
and our system de in fact more
inclusive and democratic than ever before.
582
00:19:41,285 --> 00:19:43,419
and our system de in fact more
inclusive and democratic than ever before.
583
00:19:43,421 --> 00:19:44,320
and our system de in fact more
inclusive and democratic than ever before.
584
00:19:44,322 --> 00:19:45,821
And that's because we use democracyto make democracy stronger.
585
00:19:45,823 --> 00:19:47,957
And that's because we use democracy
to make democracy stronger.
586
00:19:47,959 --> 00:19:48,758
And that's because we use democracy
to make democracy stronger.
587
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,092
So, Donna, if you want the
things get better, you have to vote.
588
00:19:50,094 --> 00:19:52,194
So, Donna, if you want the
things get better, you have to vote.
589
00:19:52,196 --> 00:19:53,696
I think so, but changing the
system seems to be very difficult.
590
00:19:53,698 --> 00:19:55,564
I think so, but changing the
system seems to be very difficult.
591
00:19:55,566 --> 00:19:57,900
Yes. But look at a simple idea:
641 00:19:42,780 --> 00:19:45,650
592
00:20:00,872 --> 00:20:02,138
It's pretty hard for busy voters
arrive at the polling stations.
593
00:20:02,140 --> 00:20:03,639
It's pretty hard for busy voters
arrive at the polling stations.
594
00:20:03,641 --> 00:20:04,573
Do not tell me that. I had to
Missing work to come here.
595
00:20:04,575 --> 00:20:05,608
Do not tell me that. I had to
Missing work to come here.
596
00:20:05,610 --> 00:20:06,976
Do not tell me that. I had to
Missing work to come here.
597
00:20:06,978 --> 00:20:08,277
That way more Americans
could vote easily
598
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:10,079
That way more Americanscould vote easily
599
00:20:10,081 --> 00:20:11,547
and we will have time to celebrate
the election for what she is.
600
00:20:11,549 --> 00:20:13,449
and we will have time to celebrate
the election for what she is.
601
00:20:13,451 --> 00:20:14,884
The most patriotic day of the year.
602
00:20:14,886 --> 00:20:15,551
The most patriotic day of the year.
603
00:20:15,553 --> 00:20:16,919
What a great idea, Adam.
604
00:20:16,921 --> 00:20:18,921
That was quite inspiring.
605
00:20:18,923 --> 00:20:20,723
That was quite inspiring.
606
00:20:20,725 --> 00:20:21,557
I will do this! I will vote!
607
00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:23,726
I will do this! I will vote!
608
00:20:25,863 --> 00:20:27,296
Hey Donna ...
609
00:20:27,298 --> 00:20:28,931
I really enjoyed traveling
in time with you.
610
00:20:28,933 --> 00:20:29,698
I really enjoyed traveling
in time with you.
611
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:31,434
Oh me too.
662 00:20:16,216 --> 00:20:17,114
612
00:20:32,336 --> 00:20:34,804
And when you want to have a tea, talk,
or just walk, just call me.
613
00:20:34,806 --> 00:20:35,805
And when you want to have a tea, talk,
or just walk, just call me.
614
00:20:35,807 --> 00:20:36,639
Walk?
615
00:20:36,641 --> 00:20:38,774
As friends?
616
00:20:38,776 --> 00:20:40,309
Mr. Conover, I would love to
be your friend.
617
00:20:40,311 --> 00:20:41,210
Mr. Conover, I would love to
be your friend.
618
00:20:46,184 --> 00:20:47,116
Wanna come to my house today
to make spaghetti?
619
00:20:47,118 --> 00:20:47,850
Wanna come to my house today
to make spaghetti?
620
00:20:47,852 --> 00:20:50,570
I'm kind of busy.
Maybe another time. 672
621
00:20:51,923 --> 00:20:53,255
Great. Great.
622
00:20:53,257 --> 00:20:54,757
I am literally free
every night.
623
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:55,758
I am literally free
every night.
624
00:21:03,834 --> 00:21:05,534
Next Adam Ruins Everything ...
625
00:21:05,536 --> 00:21:06,635
You leaving your employees
stupid.
626
00:21:06,637 --> 00:21:08,003
You leaving your employees
stupid.
627
00:21:08,005 --> 00:21:08,838
How much do you earn?
628
00:21:09,507 --> 00:21:10,306
If you don't know which one
average salary of your company,
629
00:21:10,308 --> 00:21:11,740
If you don't know which one
average salary of your company,
630
00:21:11,742 --> 00:21:13,042
It's easier for him to stick the knife in you.
631
00:21:13,044 --> 00:21:13,876
It's easier for him to stick the knife in you.
684 00:20:58,658 --> 00:21:00,624
632
