good evening, i m erin burnett, outfront tonight it is election night in america and front and center tonight are trump s lies about the 2020 election, as the january 6th committee lays out its case for how trump tried to overturn the election and knowingly lie to his supporters about it. trump s conspiracy theories are not just a thing about the historical record, you know, that we need to put in there. they re not a thing of the past, they re actually still metastasizing, just listen to two of the trump-backed candidate on the ballot tonight. tonight, will transform our election. you know that they did it to the election in this city. we fought right through to the end. they took the election. we the people know the election was stolen and we are not taking it anymore. so, one of those was adam running for nevada senate, other is katie arrington running for house seat in carolina, where polls closed a the the hour. counting now. trying to unseat incumbent nancy mace
Took advantage of it. absolutely. the flooding is unprecedented in the area. bridges have been completely blown out, roads under water. i know you re familiar with the area, you ve spent plenty of time there. have you ever seen anything like this? no. not in that area. i mean, we have experienced some flooding ourselves in indiana, but not very much in indiana. it was very widespread. the amount of water flowing through there was truly amazing, and to watch that building come off the embankment and float downstream was just it was crazy. that s amazing to see it, and disturbing. parker, thank you very much. i appreciate it. i m glad you and your family are out. thanks. thank you very much. have a great evening. and finally tonight, a story we ve been following. top putin leader alexei navalny has been moved to a security
