What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe No Kings coalition is changing tactics this weekend, with more than three thousand events planned Saturday across all fifty states and Washington, D.C., all aimed at getting people to vote early.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Guardian reports that organizers are calling the effort too big to rig, after two years of putting millions of people in the streets for marches and protests.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo the marching is over and the forecast is a high chance of ballots, with a front moving in from the polling place on your street.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIs that a forecast?
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt's a lot of people walking somewhere on a Saturday. Seventy percent chance somebody brings a folding table and a sad plate of cookies.
