Summary
All across the country, Republicans are working to undermine the will of the voters and/or steal elections. It's an indication where they realize that voters are against them, so they're doing the only thing they can... CHEAT. It's happening in NC, GA, WI and multiple other states around the country. How do Democrats fight back?
Another depressing report on climate change shows that we are close to the brink of never being able to come back. Will anyone do anything?
We talk to Sam Berger from Center for American Progress, Addy Baird from ThinkProgress and Asawin Suebsang from The Daily Beast.
