Summary
The midterms aren't over: votes are being counted and recounted in key battleground states. This week, we take you directly to Broward County, Florida, where reporter Pema Levy is staking out the local elections offices, awaiting results from a dramatic statewide recount, as streets heat up with protesters. We also go to Atlanta, where senior editor Kiera Butler brings you the latest from the nail-biting Georgia Governor's race, between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp. Whatever happens, Kiera says the changing face of the state's electorate will get harder and harder for Republicans to ignore. And throughout the show, you'll hear from our voting rights reporter Ari Berman, who's always on-hand to help us make sense of the voting shenanigans afoot.
