I say Tina is just as worthy.

You see, the Help America Vote Act is civil rights legislation.

The laws are already on the books. But where is the enforcement?

As Fulton County admits

315,000 votes were improperly counted.

Now, think on this.

Fulton County and Mesa County both use Dominion. Both have the same rig code.

And at the University of Alabama in 1963,

Governor George Wallace personally stood in the schoolhouse door,

backed by Alabama State Troopers, to prevent two Black students,

Vivian Malone and James Hood, from registering. Just a minute. Yes, a minute.

...Deputy Attorney General of the United States. Proclamation,

Governor, was signed by the President within the last hour.

And now being mindful of my duties and responsibilities under the Constitution of

the United States,

the Constitution of the State of Alabama, do hereby denounce and

forbid this illegal and unwarranted

action by the Central Government.

Sound familiar? Tina Peters is coming with us.

Will she be released by the State of Colorado while this plays out? No.

There's no legal authority for any federal government action...

I take it from that statement that

you are going to stand in that door,

and that you are not going to carry out the orders

of this court, and that you are going to resist us from doing so. Is that correct?

I stand upon the statement.

The consequences of your stand must rest with you. The choice is yours.

I would ask you once again to responsibly step aside. And if you do not,

I am going to assure you that the orders of those courts will be enforced.

The National Guard is called in to enforce the President's order,

and Governor Wallace steps aside.

This then is the moment when Governor George Wallace of Alabama...

...walked away from the schoolhouse door.

Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard,

which escorted the students past Wallace and his troopers,

forcing compliance without major violence.

The same would happen with the feckless Governor of Colorado.
