This date 29 years ago. And how amaiding that that was a nice that your father and some other people spend their entire life working for and fighting for that freedom, the freewaying of over 100 million people. Your parents fled poland and czechoslovakia in the 1930s. That night on this day so many people were freed. So this news keeps coming at us every day. I got a call from some people i know in florida going, this race is not over. Bill nelson is picking up votes. By night, you had a full on freak out by mark roub o. Rick scott is freaking out, too, alleging unlawful behavior when it doesnt go his way. When i was part of the republican effort back in 2000, our fight was to count all the votes. The Republican Party then, we were fighting to make sure that all the military votes got counted. If you want to see where the Republican Party is in 2018, 18 years after we were fighting to count all the votes, now its marco rubio and donald trump the and rick scott that are freaked out that

Sorry. Now its time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. And now im going to try to repeat that description of ranked voting thing that you just said. Okay. I was listening and im going to have to replay it and listen again. Theyve always had a theory about it. Ive always thought if they called it one, two, three voting wed probably have it all over the country. You pick your first choice, if that person doesnt win, then you pick your second choice.

Unfortunately the issue has not been dealt with by either party in a substantive fashion at all. We have a president who will openly lie, right, just in the middle of one conversation. Hell tell about six different lies. So we dont know where his actual intentions his actual conversations have been with the mexican government, but what we do
