On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.

    Last time I voted in texas I walked in to the local library. Was greeted asking for id, dont know what was typed into the computer, was handed a paper with a number on it, went to booth and put number in, voted, and then collected my I voted sticker and left. I would imagine they connected my name to the number and have a database of everyone.

      The number is connected to the ballot, but not your name. It’s a system to verify the registrar issued the ballot, not to track individual votes.
