joe biden won hancock county, georgia, by a 44-point margin. look at that.hat's why it's a little bit awkward that the hancock county county attorney also happens to be a republican state representative named barry fleming. barry fleming is also the primary republican sponsor of the big voter suppression bill that the georgia house passed last week. well, today protesters gathered outside the hancock county courthouse to protest the fact that their county's attorney is leading effort to roll back voting rights across the state. shortly after that rally, the board of commissioners in hancock county voted 4-0 to end barry fleming's tenure as their county attorney, to oust him from that position. republicans in georgia are still working to advance 12 different bills that would make it harder to vote in the state, including the bill that the hancock county attorney sponsored. when it comes to pushing back against voter suppression in georgia, the person who has led that fight is the organizer, former gubernatorial candidate, democratic party leader, stacey abram

paula hancocks is monitoring the latest sfremts seoul. while there's more evidence that they're shooting to kill, the government's playbook is to portray the protesters as the ones using violence. >> reporter: they have been, yes. certainly when it's outside of the military circles within myanmar there are very few people who are believing that. what we've heard from amnesty is that they believe that there is a shoot to kill policy now and it's something we have been hearing consistently on the ground in myanmar. they also say that the fact that the government has -- excuse me, the military dictatorship has been silent about the deaths and the shooting of protesters does suggest they have authorized this. as you say, kim, there are still people willing to go out onto the streets pushing for democracy despite knowing the risks. protesters bang pots and pans in central myanmar. they duck and run for cover as security forces begin firing. 22-year-old is shot in the head. his brother carries him to a waiting ambulance but it's too late. reliv
