florida s republican governor, ron desantis, submitted a new map for congressional districts. he proposed florida should cut in half the number of congressional districts that are majority black. okay. texas s largest counties are starting to report on the real world impact of the voting restrictions that texas republicans passed this past year. as many as half the ballot requests they are getting from voters in the largest counties are now being rejected by the state because the new voting rights restrictions they just passed requires that those ballot requests be rejected. half the ballot requests being turned away. in wisconsin, where republican legislators have been moving aggressively to restrict all sorts of voting methods, a state court judge sided with them and ruled that wisconsin can, in fact, remove its drop boxes that people use to drop off their ballots for the election. wisconsin s next election is less than a month from now. they are rushing to rip out the drop
voting restrictions that are saying those ballots need to be rejected. half the ballots are being put away. in wisconsin, they are moving aggressively to restrict all sorts of voters. wisconsin can remove its drop boxes that people used to drop off the ballots for the election. the next election is less than a month from now. they are rushing to rip out the drop boxes and make it harder for people to vote. people found it very safe to vote that way, but as of the next election it must be stopped. today in washington d.c., conservative senator joe manchin appeared before reporters, wearing sort of a gym suit or tunic, they are charged by his appearance in this next clip, but he was wearing the sporty outfits and he told reporters, scornfully, that he and sinema are working with republicans to block federal voting rights restrictions that will not hinder people from voting in the next election. that won t happen because the government won t allow it. i know you don t know wha
critics. actions we have taken thus far will not be our last. all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the january 6th insurrection. and tonight, on the eve of that violent day, there is still one major lingering question from donald trump s attempted coup. well, there are many, but this is the one i keep coming back to. we know now, it s quite established, after a year of reporting, that the former president and a small group of allies were deadly serious about overthrowing the results of a free and fair election. and we know that most of their schemes were both at once dangerous and absurd. there s still one remaining question, which is how close were they to succeeding? and this has been the subject of quite some debate. and contrary to some folks out there, sknr and i read a lot along these lines that the whole thing was preposterous, doomed to fail from the beginning. after the ridiculous lawsuits
