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. They did this by expanding eligibility for mail
january 6 committee new surprise. new evidence requiring a special hearing tomorrow. first, over the weekend, thousands of people took to the streets to protest the supreme court decision. sweeping away the rights of millions of americans. the new poll show that a majority of americans oppose the ruling. republicans know it s unpopular. they re attempting to make the truly ludicrous claim they are the party that cares about women. compassionate conservativism. look, you know the republican party should do now, it should use this victory if you see it that way to change itself and become a party that helps with women, change its reputation. become a party that helps women and children. becomes responsible. you know it s a bad idea when the entire panel cannot help but laugh out loud on live tv. that claim republicans could possibly support women, right now. it falls apart immediately. after south dakota governor said she wants to help support mothers in her state, abc cite
right now i am refusing to move on from last week s racial terror in buffalo. and that is because, i still have tears drowning on my suit. the day after i visited the city as head of national action network, in solidarity with those in mourning, after a white supremacist shot and killed ten of their friends and loved ones. one week ago today. and while yes, much of america s response has been of condolence and condemnation, the president and his visit to buffalo, denouncing the growing threat of white supremacist terror, while his justice department primes new initiatives to combat hate nationally. and starkest contrast, many right-wing politicians and entertainers have stubbornly dug in, either doubling down on the conspiracy theories of parent lee embraced by the alleged buffalo shooter, or refusing to acknowledge the danger polls but this rhetoric, even after the death of nearly a dozen innocent people. thoughts, and prayers, aside i heard from so many families in buffalo
remains. the battleground state is an out liar in the south. it has a democratic governor as well as obamacare. one of the only states in south without a voter restriction law. for now. the legislature is controlled by republicans but there s not enough of them to override vetoes from the democratic governor. which is why voting for the state level offices is that much more important. north carolina is one of the last states in the south to protect a women s right to abortion. that could change come november. when voters decide whether to remain the graduate out liar or march towards mississippi where abortion will be illegal in ten days. joining me now a former north carolina supreme court justice. chief justice. now the democratic nominee for u.s. senate in the state. thank you for being here. and i think north carolina is a really interesting cautionary tale. in a good way. in the sense that north carolina was the last to go in terms of republicans taking over the whole south and st
and so problems into the process and saying that it is not fair. we have the elections were one, pennsylvania was won by joe biden. it was fair, they did a recount, the numbers and change. and that is usually what happens in recounts. i think you know, mccormack saying he is hopeful that that is what candidates are supposed to do. when eta, the next hot primaries to watch our tuesday in georgia, and today we got some positive news out of the peach state. according to the washington polls, voter turnout is surging despite the states controversial voter restriction law passed by republicans. voting rights groups and democrats say they have changed their strategies to mobilize voters under the new rules. one example is moving souls to the polls events, to saturday. s how encouraging are these developments? very. i think it shows that advocacy
