because there is no jobs in lincolnton or lincoln county, georgia. time they make it back to this county to vote they can get to their local polls, but to drive an additional 12, 15 miles, just to vote in one precinct in the city of lincolnton is just, it's unreal. it's unfair. it's not right. >> we spoke with the board of elections today. they believe this petition wasn't necessary. they said they held public hearings on the issue and september letters to every household and didn't hear opposition. democrats involved in closing down these polling places. what do you make of that response from them? >> well, the first thing, they did not send notification to every voter in the county. what they did was send letters to every property owner in the county and we have people that own property throughout several states across the united states. i, mile, did not get a letter. so and i've talked to many, many citizens in this county, black, white, republican, democrats who say they didn't get letters either. so, you know, this is not a partisan issue. this i

. >> now, to the headlines you may have seen this week about board of elections in lincoln county georgia to close all but one of the county seven polling places. this wednesday, a group of activists handle liver to petition with 600 signatures, from locals, opposed to the change to the county board of elections. the board had been scheduled to vote that night, the board argues that a single problem place would be -- lead to better run elections, and would be more accessible. the activists argue that a single polling place would mean some county residents would have to drive more than 20 miles out of the way, just to put a ballot. they were supposed to vote on that wednesday night, but because of these petitions, the vote never happened. this may sound like a lot of stories you've heard before. democrat dick fighting their local officials for the right to vote. check this out. lincoln county is about 70% wind, and cast 68% of its votes for donald trump in 2020. these activists spent months going door to door collecting signatures to make sure that it doesn't get harder for anyone to vote.

most of it is in lincoln county, maine, which is this very rural county in a very rural state. we were going up against a man named dana dow who had been in and out of office for almost 20 years. he hadever lost general election before in his life. he is also the senate minority leader. so, the highesranking republan in the state. he was susan collins's guest at the state of the union this year. and, yeah, it was a lot to gup again. he owns local business and everybody knows who dana dow is. he also won by less than 400 votes in 2018. so, we knew that we could do it. district 13 islso ally intesting. instead of a 16% republican advantage, which is district 88, e senateistrict has a 1.6% republican advantage. so it leans republicanbut it's almost a third democrat, republican and independent. so it's, feels like a much mor representative cross-section of the different political dynamics that we're experiencing today. the hill ned lincolnounty, one of the top 10 counties in the us that would define the 2020 election. and it's about 38,000 people in district 13. so, i say all of th

we look at lincoln county, we are doing work in lincoln county where they're attempting to close all he polls sites with the exception of just having one polling site in the entire county. i'm raising those things because i think we've been saying this, we've been very consistent from day one over the last year that it's going to take local support, it's going to take a legal strategy and it's going to take federal legislation, there is no way around this. that some of what we're seeing happening right now, the only thing that can actually stop is is we're going to have federal legislation, right, and so there's some oversight because there's three ways that they can attack it, one is creating the culture of fear, two is weaponizing the administrative process and three it's about restricting access of who can freely and fairly participate in an election. >> latosha, sinema argues that the answer is to find a way to do something with republicans on voting rights because tearing up the filibuster will give republicans far more dangerous power down the line. is there a way to get somethi

it says essential services remain open. 0ur correspondent, danny savage, is at lincoln county hospitalme and it effectively has a huge staffing crisis at the moment. not just at this site, but at its sites in boston and grantham as well. they declared this critical incident on saturday night and it is basically all down to the fact that lots of staff are off with covid at the moment. and that means there are fewer staff at the hospital covering shifts. now, they say their significant staff absence is due covid—19 at the moment, but they say in spite of the challenges, essential services are fully open. now, of course, it is a bank holiday here today, so it is fairly quiet around the hospital. most of the normal outpatient services would not be functioning as they normally would be on a working week day. a&e is open of course. ambulances are coming and going, but that seems to be effectively running as it would do normally at the moment. albeit with long waiting times that most hospitals have. now it is not a unique incident from what we can tell. about half a dozen other trusts have de

lincoln county, a rural county, has 30% african-american population in georgia. there is an effort being led by republicans right now to close all the polling sites in that county with exception of leaving one and this is a county that public transportation, there are no public accommodations that are available. and so, what we are seeing is all across the board, what they are doing, they are instituting it. um, on all levels. the local, the state, and the federal level which is why we need federal legislation by as we think about going forward, that is short-term. we actually need structural change in this country. we need to rethink about the supreme court. supreme court should be expanded. we need to make sure we have a senate that is more reflective of the citizens of this country, which means we need d.c. to have statehood. for puerto rico to have statehood. why are we expecting taxation without representation? and so, we have got to really understand that in order for us to have the kind of democracy that's laid out in the constitution, we are going to have

advocates and local leaders are fighting to stop the closure of seven out of eight polling places in lincoln county-third of the voters are black, just next week the state legislature will convene with rms republican leaders already proudly touting their plans to attack voting access, push to ban drop boxes and erect new hurdles in the path of voters. this is very, very practical for you and your organization, and for voters in georgia. it is literal, physical impediments to people voting. >> absolutely. this is not an academic discussion, right, we are not sitting on our dorm room floor debating democracy, like what is happening? this is an active threat, in realtime, our republican leaders in georgia and federally have not stuttered, not once, they are unified, this is a well funded attack, and we are not just talking about georgia. we're not just talking about red states. i will not shut up about the fact that 400 anti-voting bills were introduced in nearly every state in our country, in the ten months, in the eleven months, since legislative session started again in 2021. they are not playing.

lincoln county, one of our black belt counties where they're trying to close seven out of the eight pollingcations and we're supporting organizers on the ground collecting signatures to try to block that. and several republicans are trying to unceremoniously remove black county elected officials from duty. and so we're in a crisis moment, and so i think that when we talk to the 600,000 young people and people of color we registered to vote, they understand what we're doing. they understand that we are working to sustain the demand for urgent and immediate action to protect voting rights for all americans. this isn't just a georgia issue or a red state issue. that is problem nationally. you mentioned 19 states have passed anti-voting legislation. 48 states have introduced nearly 400 anti-voting bills. >> and i suspect, nsÉ, that's not going to be the end of it. when you talk about the numbers alone, i say it's going to be more. underwhat you make of this with senator mitch mcconnell having this statement earlier today when he was talking about, well, is there some need to change the filibust

senator manchin and senator sinema siding with republicans, republicans will be meeting tonight in lincoln county, georgia, to take a vote on cloing six of the seven voting sites in that county. dropping the drop boxes in wisconsin. in texas, they said, sorry, we don't have enough paper to send out voter registration cards. and you can't use the old ones, because we changed the forms, and we won't process your applications with the old ones. this stuff is real. and to say that democrats ought not use such harsh language while criticizing us on this matter, or we won't side with you. well, you won't side with us. it's an effort at rhetorical policing that the president sees through. >> i want to ask you about -- you've done a lot of reporting on your show, setting the standard for all of us about the real economy. what is actually happening. all of the questions that this president got were about something that is real, and that's inflation. it struck me that he didn't broaden out every opportunity he had. he really tried to feel the pain that people are feeling when they're shopping for groceries

we've seen that in the closing of polling sites like we're dealing with in lincoln county, we've seenen we're talking about access around ballot voting. there's a bill proposed in the georgia legislature that would eliminate drop-off boxes. we've seen this strategy, it's like a play book we've seen over and over again. what it is going to take to move forward if we have to recognize that we're in a different kind of political landscape. we cannot allow to think of voting rights as another bill, like part of another agenda. we have to see this as a fundamental needo preserve democracy in this nation. no matter who you vote for, there should not be punitive measures because of the way you voted. that is a dangerous, slippery road for us to go down. >> reporter: latosha brown, thank you so much for sharing your pepectives with us. >> thank you for having me. >> reporter: and now to one of the republican officials, tasked with implementing georgia's new voting law. gabriel sterling is the chief operating officer of the georgia secretary of state's office. it's good to have you with us. yo

in one, lincoln county is trying to limit polling places to just one in the whole county. just one place to vote for an entire county causing people to potentially drive as many as 23 miles to cast a ballot. this wouldn't make voting easier, turns it into a burden. the truth is, republicans can't defend the laws and they're not going to mention them here today. let's hear some republicans defend the laws and point to the massive fraud that they say motivates them to do it. it's bunk, bunk, the policies put forward have one purpose only making it harder for younger, poorer, non-white and typically democratic voters to access the ballots to give republicans the partisan advantage at the polls by making it harder for democratic leaning voters to vote. again, in a democracy when you lose an election, you figure out why and try to figure out the voters you lost, you don't stop that, that autopsy in autocracies, places like hungary where donald trump just endorsed who is whittling away democracy in hungary. it's cynical for republican colleagues to argue because the voter suppre
