JUDY WOODRUFF:

Members of Congress have been on recess this week. Usually, that would mean a number of constituent town halls in their home states and districts.

But fewer than 30 Republicans are holding those meetings, as protests grow outside some district offices, and constituents rally inside the town halls that are scheduled.

Our team traveled to one of them in Northern New Jersey, near New York City, to see the dynamics in play.
