On this episode of Flashpoint, we hear from an NBC News correspondent as they explain how the election outcome of Anson County could be a whole new outcome in the 2022 midterms. "What we're finding is a story of voter apathy," Antonia Hylton said. "A community that feels it's been ignored and mistreated in some cases." Anson County is one of seven counties across the U.S. NBC News will be focused on through the midterm elections in 2022. Anson County is fairly evenly split among white and Black residents.

Next, Ben Thompson talks with two local historians on the long-term impact of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. "The history books are going to see it as an attack on democracy," Dr. Scott Huffmon, a professor at Winthrop University, said. "These people were domestic terrorists. They attempted insurrection to overthrow the government." As historians, the professors are looking forward to upcoming testimony in front of the House committee investigating the attacks. They're hoping it will give future historians a firm, factual account of what happened that day.
