All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It was a big day for the future of american democracy. We will get to that significant action in a moment, but before we do, just give me a second to go back to the context of what happened in the last election. I think it has been obscured by the sabotage and disinformation and violent insurrection unlike anything weve seen in the history of the country stoked by the former president. Remember this, last november, right, once in a cent ray pandemic, we got a glimpse of what a full or fuller participation version of our democracy would look like because due to the pandemic, state after state, jurisdiction after jurisdiction, and i should note this is both democratic and republican there were fights over this. But across the board, more or less on the whole in the aggregate, all these places did something praise worthy and novel. They took steps to make it easier to vote.

Everybody in the electric utility business is suddenly decided, wow, we need Nuclear Power too. But from the beginning, the peaceful atom was dont bust, safety concerns to the moon. Basically, they have clear that accidents could have their very serious attention by rising costs. Its economically so complex, so difficult, so tricky. Its kind of pulled under by its own dead weight. And i protests that through time leftists with a school of about 4 new
