attorney general loretta lynch talking about voter suppression with my colleague, chris matthews, on hardball. it's a highly contested gubernatorial race between stacey abrahams and briant, a group of senior citizens were headed out to vote on a bus, they were removed from that vehicle by government officials who cited the trip as a political activity not permitted during county-sponsored events. i just want to get your reaction to where we are. your reaction to what is happening? >> voter suppression happens in this country in every election. just for those who may not remember, we still do not have a fully functioning voting rights act in this country that permits a lot of these things to even continue. we have voting rights act. some of these things would still be happening, but they would be able to be challenged, whether you're talking about purges, whether you're talking about changes of movements of polling locations and things of that nature. so the overall pieces that we do need, one of the things that we need congress to go back and do and do their jobs is actually make sure that we are protecting the most precious part of democracy that we can participate in
