All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It was a big day for the future of american democracy.

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.

You dont want everyone crowding in on election day so people found ways to just make it easier to vote so you wouldnt have that. And the results are clear. It worked. 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.

With 17 days until the election, we check in with the premier team of factcheckers who follow the president and other politicians to let you know whats true and whats not. But first, we begin with a look at todays eye opener. Your world in 90 seconds. All the northern countries in europe, theyre already well into the fall winter surge. And thats whats heading our way. The worst is still to come. The number of u. S. Cases of coronavirus topped 8 million so far. Nearly 219,000 americans have died from the virus. Some of the media doesnt like hearing it. But i say it all the time. Were rounding that turn. All President Trump does is fan the flames of hatred and division. President trump and joe biden spent the day in battleground states.
