- LIVE LOOK at the line of people waiting to vote at 730am on NYE — the last day of early voting in Cobb County, Georgia. As a reminder, the states runoff elections will ultimately determine the balance of power in Washington DC.
00:00 - A big thank you to @houstonpolice Sgt. Engelhart who not only helped me after I locked my keys in the car this morning, but also helped these little chicks find their way back to mom — all while making sure that folks know all @HoustonTX parks are closed due to #COVID19.
00:00 - We’re seeing some wraparound action, but overall the line to drop of absentee ballots in Harris County is moving quickly. Thanks to Gov. Abbott’s proclamation this is now the only drop-off site in the county of more than 4.7 million. I’m live on @MSNBC w/ the latest all day.
00:00 - It’s the first Sunday of early voting in Texas and ,much like what we saw during the week, folks began lining up here in Waco, TX more than an hour before polls opened. More on this coming up on @MSNBC
00:00 - Replying to @PriscillaWTOne woman tells me she got here at 630am and waited roughly an hour-and-a-half.
- Possibly the best interview I’ve done all election season and a reminder of what this moment means for so many."Being able to see someone who looks like her, who likes him, is going to really help them and other children to know how far they can go in this world." @PriscillaWT talking to people in Atlanta about what Biden/Harris' win means to them.
00:00 - “Georgia, I am honored by the faith that you have shown in me. I am going to the Senate to work for all of Georgia,” Rev. Raphael Warnock says presenting a unifying message during his Election Night remarks.
- Replying to @PriscillaWTNEW: Congressional leaders including @WhipClyburn have sent a letter to TX @GovAbbott — they are “investigating actions” that interfere w/ “free, fair, & safe federal elections in TX.” This, after Abbott ordered every county limit absentee ballot drop off locations to 1/county
- Replying to @PriscillaWTAll 16 Georgia electors have cast their votes for Joseph R. Biden to serve in the office of President of the United States. The chamber erupted in cheers and applause after the vote.
00:00 - A view from the ground as polls open in Fulton County. At this location, miles from where Biden will rally voters, some waited more than 2 hours to be among the first in line to cast their ballots in runoff elections that will ultimately determine the balance of power in the D.C.
00:00 - I asked Pete Buttigieg about criticism from AOC & Sanders of his college affordability plan. Buttigieg told me he was "concerned about a narrative emerging, that ignores the fact that not everybody goes to college." He argues, it's not the same as K-12 ed or Social Security.
00:00 - Fulton County is heading into their 16th hour of absentee ballot counting at the State Farm Arena in Georgia. They are down to 17 thousand ballots to go, getting through 2-3000/hour. #gapol #Decision2020
00:00 - Texas AG Ken Paxton and wife Sen. Angela Paxton went to Utah during Texas freeze. News of Paxton's trip marks the THIRD instance of a Texas public official leaving the state during the disaster. houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas… via @HoustonChron
