it was this summer in elizabeth city, north carolina where a local republican challenged the residencyof a student who was trying to run for local office. that story has huge implications for voting rights across north carolina and the country. the local newspaper reported that story that way, and that's how we found out about it. any time you see a story on national tv that starts in a small town, odds are that story began with local reporters who would not give up and who reported it right and aggressively, even though it always stirs stuff up on their hometown beat. and so it is about today's bombshell news with chris christie and the world's busiest bridge and the manufactured traffic jam that choked the little town of fort lee. that story started with a little newspaper, where they had a few questions that needed answering, even when powerful people mocked them for asking. >> i worked the cones, actually. unbeknownst to everybody, i was the guy out there, in overalls and a hat, so i wasn't -- i actually was the guy working the cones out there. you really are not serious with that
