  Speaker 4: News Now. Back to you, Andrea.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Amber. Since last year, 10 states have redrawn
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: their congressional maps. Georgia and South Carolina both talked about
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: doing so, but both states abandoned the idea in the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: early stages of discussing it. Now, Democratic insiders are saying
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the issue is still on the table and are encouraging
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: voters to be mindful of what could take place after
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the election. Here's what John Bixignano, the president of the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: National Democratic Redistricting Committee, said yesterday when appearing on MSNOW.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We are in an inevitable continual cycle until we ban
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: partisan gerrymandering, which is Democrats have endlessly tried to do.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We will continue to try and do. I guarantee if
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: we are successful in winning back the House, there will
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: be a bill shortly thereafter that will ban partisan gerrymandering.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But until then, until that time, we all need to
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: be vigilant in our own states about what's going to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: happen immediately after Election Day in January, February, March of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: next year.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Big Sock Nano says Mississippi and Texas could redraw again
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and that Georgia could also be in play. Redistricting is
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a major issue on the ballot in Maryland. Voters will
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: decide this election if the state will engage the process.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: If it does, Democrats could benefit. Meanwhile, political commentator Angela
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Rye is urging black voters to be aware and mindful
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of misinformation on the internet. When appearing on The Griot's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: new podcast, Rye said automatic networks have created blackface, electronic
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: blackface online, and created whole profiles of people when it
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was actually a bot on a bot farm. She encourages
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: online users to be careful and to always check their
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: sources before trusting information they read. Well, that three-year-old soccer
• 3:08

  Speaker 3: My son's crying.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: He was like....

  Speaker 1: Like, he was.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: He thought that he did something bad. And he thought

  Speaker 3: but that's what he was giving. Like, maybe I should
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: have never did it like that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Or maybe I should have just.
