At one point they had the great grandmother stand outside in her nightgown. According to their warrant, officers were looking for records including applications for ballot by mail, a list of voter banks and documents about elected officials and candidates. Martina said the officers told her they were there because she filled out a report saying older residents were not getting mail ballots. That is quite an aggressive response to that report, which she confirms she did file. Martinez is a retired educator in san antonio who spent 35 years as a member and volunteer with lulac, the civil rights group in america. Part of her work with the organization includes helping older residents and veterans registered to vote and that is what made her suspicious to republican texas attorney general ken paxton.

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.

Turnout was the highest it had been in 120 years. Nearly 67 of eligible voters cast a ballot. And also there was no uniform drubbing of one party by the other. It was not a blowout. It was a competitive election. Yes, joe biden won by a healthy margin. 7 million votes. 70 plus Electoral College votes. But remember republicans gained seats in the house. They want some key senate rates right . Now rather than looking at that outcome and thinking wow, we can be a Competitive Party even in high turnout elections which would have been a totally rational conclusion. Republican
