may be out of reach for trump at this point. there is some other states where things are really close like florida and north carolina. >> we got to get into the trenches, state by state. >> professor, i appreciate your time. thank you all of you for being with us in this historic night. anderson starts now. good evening, we are hours away from the election of a lifetime. the president is in kenosha, wisconsin and joe biden is in

pittsburgh. kamala harris is in philadelphia and mike pence is in eerie and former president obama is in florida and georgia. 96 million americans have already voted and some of their ballots being processed or being cast as we speak. court ruling nearly 127,000 drive-through area, republicans are trying to throw out their case instead the day after republicans control supreme court unanimously did the same. the plaintiffs say they are not stopping, they are appealing. the legal battle is still beginning, especially in pennsylvania.

the white house is building a wall around itself. the people's house is just hours away to what is supposed to be the people's day. joe biden at a lady gaga event. the president is scheduled to close out his campaign tonight. what's his final message to voters with biden? >> reporter: joe biden has been talking about the power of the people's votes, urging people to get out there to vote tomorrow. in order to determine the course of the country for generations to come. he's arguing the division and the chaos he believes had been seen under president trump watch these past four years in office. that'll be critical to the biden campaign past nomination.

the biden campaign says their easiest path is through those northern industrial states that blue wall that president trump broke through back in 2016, pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan. they invested a lot of time in those states the past few days. in florida, georgia and north carolina as this election is near. the biden campaign says it is not impossible for president trump to win but they see themselves in a position of strength heading into tomorrow. they think that this is fuelled by the strength of their supporters which they believe is a wide swath of voters from suburban women and latinos and black voters and people supported president trump back in 2016 that they're trying to bring on their campaign this time around. ultimately, the biden campaign believes that along with what they are seeing in early voting is putting them in the driver's seat heading into election day.

joe biden started having his first campaign rally here in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, in april of 2019. at that time he said that if he's going to be beat president trump, it is going to be in an area like this and you see that reflected today and the fact that he returned here for his last night rally of this campaign. anderson. >> all right, i appreciate it. i want to go to jim acosta in grand rapids. the president had five rallies in four states today. what is he focusing on? what's the plans for the next 24 hours or so? >> reporter: yeah, anderson, this has been one of the ugliest closing message for the candidate. this is an ugly closing message for president trump. he's been airing his briefs all day long across these blue wall streets he needs to carry to win the election.

the impeachment and going after mit romney and lady gaga at one point. perhaps the most menacing part was when the president threatening the governor of pennsylvania warning him that there are eyes on him and not try to cheat in this election when t when -- the next 24 hours, i will tell you anderson that the campaign is confident that they may have closed the gap some what with joe biden with these rallies that you have seen the last several days. i will tell you i have been to several of these rallies, they have been sppacking in thousand of social distancing and not wearing masks and spreading the coronavirus around. many of them catching a cold perhaps in the middle of the night as they have been freezing waiting for their buses to go home. they believe that's mobilizing the base and getting these trump supporters out to the voting places and out to the booths. they are hopeful that could

closes the gap. in terms of where he's going to be tomorrow night, he's going to be at the white house tomorrow night. celebrating election night with 400 trump supporters on the state floor of the white house, organizers say that's more room toll spread out inside but also if they're going to be inside, anderson, and not wearing a mask and social distance as we have seen in other white house events, they are spreading that virus. they are trying to have more precautions and more wearing masks and social distancing. we have to watch that tomorrow night to see how it plays out. >> jim acosta, appreciate it. john legend there on your screen. campaign ecvents are happening lot. jon king is at the magic wall for us tonight. let's talk about 270.

the latest path, what feels solid and unknown. >> we all lived through 2016. let's walk through it slowly. we know it was pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin that puts the president over the top. racine county, look how close it is. the president is trying to recreate the magic if you will. he needs to and plus he needs a bigger come back than four years ago. how does that translate into the map that matters most as we start counting votes tomorrow? this is 2016 map. this is the trump's map. let's start from the last battlefield and walk through here. joe has a comfortable lead in michigan and wisconsin and outside the margin of pennsylvania. if he can do that, that's why the president is out there as well. those three states if he can

keep the clinton states and add those three, joe biden is the next president of the united states. he's there of the final days so much because he knows those are the building blocks. if you believe the battleground poll and believe what democrats think they see in record turn out, joe biden has a chance. he has a narrow lead in north carolina. that'll get joe biden and if he picks up 233. joe biden start to stake in ohio, they think maybe, beto o'rourke was on television saying maybe in texas. that's more of a dream for democrats but they think they can pull it off. georgia and barack obama is there today. if african-americans turnout and the suburbs, it is a possibility. this is a priority one for joe biden. how does the president recreate that 2016 magic? it has to be overwhelming

turnout. the president has to hold florida. if he loses those 29, the math gets really hard to do. the president needs to hold north carolina. the president needs those in his call there. then you are backup here again for the same three states. >> where are we now? even if the president wins pennsylvania, north carolina and florida, he still needs one more. in a state like pennsylvania, we are waiting for a few days. joe biden has an easier path and many fall backs if you will.

donald trump has to be perfect and the hills are steeper this year. >> we are on the eve of a remarkable moment of our history. jon king. i want to bring in david axelrod. >> the math speaks for the president and everything has to work right for him. the thing i would be worried about over in the trump's headquarter. you have to ask yourself if you are a president of a 45% approval rating, are all these people coming out to affirm your

leadership or voting against you? some of the early votes suggest they are coming out to vote against him and the question is whether there are some miraculously turn around tomorrow. i would be concerned when we put all the information together. this is the night when you think about and persuade yourself that you can make it happen. i am sure there is a lot of great talk over there and at the other headquarters. tomorrow everybody turns their cards over and we'll find out. >> the biden campaign had about fracking and fossil fuels and the trump campaign felt that was a big thing helping them in pennsylvania. it comes to a handful of states. >> talking to the biden people, they felt confident of michigan

and wisconsin and pennsylvania while they are ahead. not as confident in pennsylvania. i know you can talk about that, that's why they spent so much time there and that's why the president is trying to drive up his number in rural areas in pennsylvania. this race has been served as an 8 to 10 points race. the president's approval number is 44% or 45%. never went above 50%. the biden people are saying that's where we are and that's where we are in the battleground states. >> the president just got off milwaukee, let's listen in. >> tomorrow morning we'll go to one of our offices but for the most part, you will be coming with us i imagine. we'll be going to one of the offices perhaps in virginia. it has been an amazing day, an

amazing two-day, i don't think anybody have seen crowds like this. we are getting good result fs fm early voting and ballots. we'll have to see how it works out. we won't know for a while. i think the pennsylvania's decision by the supreme court is a dangerous decision. i think it is a decision that allows tremendous cheating to go on after the fact but before the votes are tabulated, it is a dangerous decision for our country. i hope it is going to be readjusted and we'll be asking for that. it is a horrendous decision for our country. it is a mistake. it allows cheating. it allows cheating at a high level and very easy cheating, too. they have much commentary about it on television. i noticed on the way over, they have a lot of commentaries about it and how it opens up pennsylvania about cheating and we can't let that happen of pennsylvania and the people of

our country. we'll see what happens. we'll see what happens. we can't let that and i am saying that before the fact and not after the fact. we can't let that happen to the people of our country. thank you very much. >> the president is making a comment before his events in santorum. >> is there is widespread cheating in pennsylvania? >> if you talk to any republicans, he can tell you that philadelphia is a tough place to monitor. there is a lot of -- >> where is the evidence? >> you see turnout. >> i am just telling you who's running for office there. >> talk to people about how -- >> i am not comfortable with the person.

>> they're real and so let me just say that. having said that, i don't agree with what the president is saying with respect to the supreme court decision opening up for cheating. the reality is i disagree with the supporeme court. i think the legislatures should make the rules and not the courts. the courts have allowed this county to go on for a longer periods of time. i don't think it is going to be that many votes that's going to come in after the election. >> high-level cheating because of this vote. that's not true. >> again, i don't think this decision is going to open up a whole lot of cheating. do i believe that there is a lot of problems? >> do you think he'll win pennsylvania? >> i came into this week thinking it is a bridge too far. something happens that i never

thought. western pennsylvania, north eastern pennsylvania and two areas that were historically tough for republicans that are trending republicans now. that'll shove those counties firmly into the republican hands. it will be devastating for them. >> joe biden is not saying he wants to -- >> i can understand. joe biden says a thing and his party is saying things that clearly -- governor cuomo in new york is stand for fracking and governor wolf -- >> i understand that. his party is and many in his party are advocating. >> it is a tale of two cities. >> i know people in philadelphia. i know what they are going through on the ground. >> they're not cheating in philadelphia. they're fighting through covid

in philadelphia. they have a postal service that's not serving and they got intimidation brigade in florida. they got a sense that even if they do their very best -- you have groups like if the boat is for me who are grass root young men. they are terrified by the president, he's going to send in all of these people. they're afraid they're going to come in there with guns. terrified that this president is going to do things that'll cause harm to human beings who just want to vote. to sit here and listen to how people are cheating. it is hard enough to get one person to vote. let alone they're going to vote 100 time os or 50 times. that's not the reality. the people are tired of the president lying. they have the right to vote in

philadelphia without being intimidated and should be able to talk to their grandmother to get them from the nursing home to the polls. tensions are high in this country because of stuff like that and stuff that he's saying. cut it out and encouraging everybody to vote. he's not doing it. >> the president is not saying anything from stopping people. >> these 30,000 poll watchers? >> poll watchers are legitimate. republicans don't want a lot of people to vote. it seems like everywhere the republicans seemed to be on the side of limiting voting as much as possible. and what the president is talking about after the election that we have seen happen and we saw it happen in the senate race in minnesota and you see it in other places and you saw it with

bush v. gore. >> what he's saying is bs. >> he wants the election to end at midnight miraculously. >> somehow it is midnight and the election is over and if he does not win and people are still counting votes, that means it is a rigged election. >> maybe the president is not making the argument but i can tell you i don't know if any republicans -- >> would this have the opposite impact that the president like for it to have? do americans like to be threatened? >> i want to point to you what's happening in georgia where people are waiting long lines hour and hours. you have record turnout among older african-americans who are offended of what happened two years ago and expressing

themselves not just because they want to vote but an act of defiance against people who tried to deprive them from their rights. yes, i do think that. i want to amplify the point that you made before. the president contended that the 3 million votes he lost by in the 2016 election were fraudulent. he put a commission together and they could not find nothing. it really is insidious. >> yes. >> republican lawyer who has done this for years. >> it is so insidious. i think this is an inspiring day for this country, the fact that so many people have come out under difficult circumstances to express themselves and be apart of this election and have a president sully the whole process that it is all rigged. the bottom line and i will stop here, the bottom line is it is clear that a lot of democrats voted by mail.

the president would like to see some of those mail ballots discounted because it improves his chance of winning by disqualifying qualified voters. that's not the way to win an election. >> the slower you go, the more accurate you can be. i have done a lot of election work. if you are going to have a republican and democrat looking over the shoulders of everybody. if you were to rush, that's the way you cheat. rush. then you are not mafitching signatures. >> i am told the president just sent out a tweet. >> that's what he's doing. >> he's in citing violence.

>> this is the area that the president is concerned about that signatures don't have to match. if the signature on the absentee ballot do not match on the ones on the record, they can still accept the ballots. >> it is minuscule. what you are ignoring -- you are kind of putting lipstick on a pig. >> i don't agree with the violence in the streets. >> i don't understand why the president of the united states is being attacking democracy fes effectively. why is he doing it? >> to stay in power. >> the difference and everybody in this country understand that it is going to take longer to count votes this year because

there are more of them and there has been a pandemic and more people voted by mail and state legislatures and governors made it easier for people to vote by mail. >> as they should. >> the court should not. that's the point. >> the legislatures in pennsylvania made it easier because they could have allowed them to process the ballot. >> we have a lot more to talk about. next breaking news reaction to what the president just said about pennsylvania. the woman in charge of elections in there joins us ahead. later towns and city and the white house is bracing for impact. showing signs of the one emotions no one is feeling on the eve of election day which is fear. we'll be right back. ♪ [sfx: typing sound]

the event in pittsburgh with john legend and kamala harris. people are still counting early ballots, more than 99 million so far. let's see who's standing by? jackson lee told reporters today -- let's keep going. before the break, the president weighed in on the battle of pennsylvania. he tweeted and the tweet contained a warning of possible violence. the supreme court's decision on voting of pennsylvania is very dangerous one. it will allow rampant and unchecked cheating and will

undermine our entire systems of laws. it will also induce violence in the streets. something must be done! >> what's royour reaction on th president's tweet? >> i have no idea what he's talking about. we want to make sure every qualified voter has the right and opportunity to vote and i can't imagine what he's talking about. >> the president has also said before he got off the plane a few moments ago having all these ballots waiting to be counted is a recipe for cheating and recipe for high level and cheating at a high level and it is going to be fraudulent. >> you know, anderson, this is the kind of thing that we have been fighting this information.

pennsylvania has a strong process in place. it would be hard to do any kind of fraud or cheating. the president knows that. before that the pennsylvania should be the decision that came down and before the supreme court, we were in federal court before a judge that president trump appointed. that judge looked at -- the entire universe of alleged fraud that the trump campaign offered the the court and found that there is no evidence whatsoever of fraud. they produced no evidence. >> there is not widespread evidence of voter fraud. it does not exist. >> absolutely not. that's thanks to all dedicated election officials across the nation who takes this incredibly seriously and make sure that

every vote is eligible and every vote is validly cast is accurately counted and that's what this country is all about. >> i know jon has a question. >> i got the pennsylvania map up here. you have 67 counties. six of them have said they do not plan to count the mail-in ballot until after the election because they are worried it will be overwhelmed. all six were carried by president trump four years ago. i will enter the map tonight and in those six counties, if you add up the 2016 vote, president trump carried them by just shy of a net. 98,000. 97,000. 98,000 votes in one county and in the state of 44,000 to win. this is more than twice the president. are you worried if they don't count these votes tomorrow that -- mail in ballots are

disportionally democratic votes. those democratic ballots sitting in the county and that's the scenario that people are worried about. is there anything you can do about that and are you worried about that? >> i am not, jon. i will tell you why. 2016 we didn't have the ability for all pennsylvanians to cast their ballots by mail. we are talking about 260,000 pennsylvanians to vote absentee. if you look at the numbers where they come from, those six counties account for a small percentage of the state's mail-in ballot. i want to talk about the other 60 counties that are not

starting the moment they can. they are staffed up and got best practices in place and they are on timeline recognizing first and for most of what's most important is every ballot is counted accurately and as quic quickly and humanly as possible. it is not going to change the timeline for when we get the results. the counties are working around the clock to make sure it happens as soon as possible. i am not worried about it. kathy, and jon, thank you so much. kamala harris just taken the stage in philadelphia, let's listen in. it is all on the line. this is the most consequential election of our lifetimes. the decision we make will without any question last for generations. as i travel around.

one of the biggest issues on everyone's mind is the pandemic that's ravaging in our country. remember back in january, donald trump, knew how bad the coronavirus was. that it was deadly and airborne. but what did he do with that information? he looked straight into the cameras at the american people and lied about it. he covered it up. can you imagine what you would have done if you had done on january 28th what he knew? what you might have done wiand what your family may have done to prepare? can you imagine how our businesses and schools may have been able to prepare?

how we as a country may have been able to prepare? donald trump does not think about what's best for america. he only thinks about what's best for himself. and as a result, we have lost 230,000 lives to covid. so many people forced to die alone base of t alone because of the nature of this virus. 230,000 americans. pete buttigieg is joining us now. less than 12 hours from the polls opening. how do you see this race? how optimistic are you of the vice president's chances? >> we are optimistic but you know the encouraging poll numbers are just poll numbers unless everybody gets out and vote. turnout has been fantastic but we need everyone who has not

voted to make a plan to get out there. if you have voted, check out your friends orloved ones or anyone who have not done. there is great information on voting.com. the system that we have for better or worse or double digit leading in the national numbers. it does not come to much unless it happens in these key swing states, which is why you see senator harris out there tonight. >> president trump just made a statement on the tarmac of why spread or high-level of voter fraud and no evidence about that he was producing and he also talked about the dangers of possible violence in the

streets. >> this is the chaos. america has held elections through thick and thin and pandemic and wars. america is a lot bigger than this spirit of donald trump is trying to put out there. we have seen amazing tuing turnd it shows that americans are not discouraged and trying to undermine our democracy. it should be unthinkable that the american president would resort to undermining the election just as he thinks he'll lose. as we have seen often, this is not the behavior of a president who's confident of being reelected. the biden campaign says under no scenario will donald trump be declared a victory for tomorrow night. they don't actual lino thly kno.

>> anything can happen. we are looking at key states. the reality is there is as good chance that there will be no declaration on victor night. there is a possibility that'll take a while to count the vote. i know the feeling of really want election results the night before the vote. that's a sign of e lks workers with integrity doing their jobs and making sure that they thoroughly counted everything. we are used to instant gratification. we are going to have to buckle up potentially for it to take a while to know for sure. >> a lot of people seeing these large rallies the president is seeing, they see it is emblematic of the recklessness

he has throughout the pandemic both in terms of policies and in terms of his behavior. supporters see enthusiasm and excitement and i guess they interpret that as the president showing up as some form of strengths. do you think it helps the president to mobile size and bringing it closer? >> my president of the united states can get a lot of people to come into one place to see them speak. the question is not whether you can but whether you should and in many ways these rallies symbolize how little regards he has for the health and safe safetsafety safety -- and even his own supporters who ha's been left o in the cold. how he treats people voting for him. and also a real concern. these events spreading the

disease to the people who caught it and some lost their lives after attending his rally. this is a case of show and tell. we have done a lot of things to explain as a matter of policy why joe biden will do a better job handling the pandemic. just look at the dircfference i the event. our side is figuring out ways to do the event safely and trump is doing the reverse. >> pete buttigieg, i appreciate your time. thanks. >> more on the voting turnout, we'll go live to nevada. >> put in the work of healing and repairing and uniting our nation, democrats and republicans and independents. i'm looking for my client. i'm his accountant.

i'm so sorry. [ sighs ] hey! hey man! you're here. you don't trust me here is vegas, do you? well... i thought we had a breakthrough with the volkswagen. we did. yes. we broke through. that's the volkswagen! that's the cross sport. wow. seatbelts. ♪ please, just tell me where we're going. ♪

election day is here. sarah, what does it look like

where you are? >> reporter: it has been really busy. this ballot drop-off location was supposed to close at 5:30. they'll keep this open as long as cars are not lined up. voting overall in the state after nevaof nevada surpassed the 2016 election. about half of the ballots returned are mail-in ballots. the others are in-person voting. republicaning really taking the advantage of two-week early voting and early voting wrapped on friday. the polls reopen tomorrow morning. a major focus on this area of the most populace county to las vegas. it has about 70% of the state.

voters as you know there will be a huge focus here and also in owasso county. this drop-off site for those ballots. all 125 of them will be accepted. if your ballot is postmark by election day in the state of nevada, as long as it arrives by november 10 othth, it will be counted. >> erika hill, thank you. jocongresswoman jackson lee 127,000 votes already casted in houston. tonight the same group appealing the decision, other republican-led cases are complicated through the ballot box. one in nevada where a judge denied to change voting

procedures in the state. governor brown is here with the latest on the texas case. what are we learning of the republican plaintiffs? >> they're making these last minute push to get thesis 127,000 ballots tossed out. they're doing this after losing the conservative texas supreme court and now with this georgia appointed judge. harris county is about to open for election tomorrow. this is accomodation made because of the pandemic. we should note that just because they are appealing this does not mean it is going to be taken up. some of these are republican candidates and one of the plaintiffs is a republican

activist with a long history of making bigoted comments and have unproven medical theory. >> what's the latest in nevada? >> that case is another loss for republicans today and a win for democrat. that judge in nevada dismissed the republican case. and also claiming they were not getting enough access to make challenges if need be. that judge in nevada simply did not buy it. this was in clark county where we were hearing about clark county is the home of vegas. no surprise that republicans are so focused on that area. >> thank you very much. >> van jones is back and rick

haski haskins and gloria borges. >> well, i think he is. if it is not closed on election night in terms of the electoral college. i don't think much of it will matter. i think his latest tweet is saying they're going to try to block the county of any ballots arrived between november 3rd which was when the deadline was and november 6th, the supreme court have put in place. u.s. supreme court did not want to get involved before the election. justice toledo says there is a potential they'll get involved after the election. it is about late arriving ballots that would come between the 3rd and the 6th. >> gloria, the president says

the county's mail-in vote past election day maybe quote "physically dangerous" and he's talking about potential violence on the streets. >> growing up in this country, i thought presidents were the ones trying to calm the country down when you are facing any kinds of issues. this president is steering the pot in every single opportunity. he says counting ballots is going to be dangerous. presidents urge calm when the country is going through any kind of unrest except for donald trump. unless he wins or the election is rigged unless it is going to be violence. >> how should democrats or anybody be ready for voting tomorrow? got to be some people weary and scary of what they'll find on

the streets. >> we are talking about american values. you count every vote and i think you will see basically a determination. trump is a funny kind of populist. a populist wants the people's voice to be heard. he's relying on lawyers on judges more than the american people. that's going to come back to bite him in a serious way. when you find somebody like donald trump who just does not seem to understand that it thers a right in this country that people fought and bled and die for people to be able to vote. you want as many people to be bou bought into that. they're apart of the country. you start shoving people out of the system and grabbing people's votes and throwing them over board. that's much more dangerous than

>> you also think about all the people who throughout history have, you know, died to get people the right to vote and then who have faced, you know, police attack dogs and racist sheriffs and laws that, you know, made it impossible for them or tried to make it as difficult as possible to vote. all of that, it is so easy for us to go and vote now. >> it should be. and i think what you are going to see is a lot of people who may not want to go vote, people are getting angry now. these road rage caravans in memphis and l.a. going into liberal areas trying to provoke people. i think they will go vote now in defiance. >> what does it say about the republican party? >> thanks very much. up next, a fence going up around

the white house, retailers boarding up windows, anxiety high about possible unrest when we continue.

certainly a lot of anticipation for tomorrow, fear and anxiety as well. you can see on that fence going up around the white house tonight building a wall. preparation for any potential protests surrounding the election. major retailers also preparing for civil unrest of any kind. target, may sie macy's and sax h avenue. on friday, apparently trying to force it off the road or to slow down and stop. the fbi is now said to be investigating and as ben mentioned earlier, reports of trump trains blocking traffic across the country as well. there is the president himself who not only praised those reporters but implanting this idea in the mind of his supporters if he doesn't win that it's perfectly illegal, that is evidence of massive voter fraud. joined now about the preparations in d.c. tonight.

so what is d.c. like tonight? what's going on? >> this is downtown d.c. we're right next to the white house. right smack in the middle of the city. it is an extraordinary scene to witness right before a u.s. election. yet again a wall, as you mentioned, a fence has gone up around the white house even circling the entire white house complex or at least it will in the coming hours. this is new fencing that has gone up. crews are still installing it. i spoke to a number of guys who said they will be working overnight installing more than a mile of fencing. it is pretty tall. it is very solid. this is the fencing that we saw earlier this summer during and after the george floyd protests. and it is -- it's very effective obviously at keeping protesters away. if you are a protester in the coming days trying to get down to the white house, you will only be able to get within a block of the white house at

most. this is pennsylvania avenue. that is 1600 pennsylvania avenue, and if you were among those protesters back in june, you will know that it will be quite easy for any sort of opposition on the other side to lob pepper spray, tear gas or flash bangs, anything like that. so certainly preparations for potential violence in the coming days, anderson. >> thanks. for more on the threats of violence, i'm joined by democrat stacey abrams who lost a very close election for governor, now heads a group fighting voter suppression. the president tonight is saying this pennsylvania court decision may induce violence in the streets. what do you say to that? >> i would say balderdash if that was a phrase we used anymore. essentially he is doing his best to continue his pattern of sewing chaos and disinformation. but we know that what's happening in pennsylvania is not only supported by the law.

it is supported by history. we count ballots if they are submitted in time and in the state of pennsylvania what the courts have said is they're following their rules. we have never known the answer to an election on election night. we have had projections but never actual knowledge. what is the best thing for americans is for us to have a slow, steady, accurate decision instead of something that's fast and wrong to appease one man's ego. >> what do you say to voters who might be concerned about going to the polls tomorrow on any side, trump voters, biden voters, whomever? >> i would say go to the polls and do not be intimidated. the hope from the trump campaign and it began with their arguments they were going to have 50,0 0 poll watchers to intimidate voters is they want to scare you away from using their fundamental rights. this is america. your right to vote is sacrosanct and you need to show up and fulfill your motion, which is to let america know what you need.

that can only happen if we go to the polls. i would say number one don't panic. we heard about what they intend to do, but we know what we must do, and that is number one don't panic and number two, don't leave the line. once you get in line, stay in line until you cast your ballot. there are election protection officials that will make certain your might to vote is being protected. fair fight is working in our battleground states through the infrastructure we set up. we know there are good intended people on both sides of the aisle that want to make sure your vote gets cast. >> georgia hasn't gone blue since 1992. what do you see is vice president biden's chance of flipping it tomorrow? >> there is no clear winner, and we know that georgia has been moving steadily towards the blue column. we got very close in 2018. unfortunately the purging of 1.4 million voters kept us away from knowing for sure what could happen in georgia. but what's happening this time

is we are seeing turnout that is unprecedented and that is diverse and that diversity of your hon turnout is so exciting. i believe those voices are going to choose joe biden. they're going to send carolyn bordeaux to congress and flip the state house tomorrow. >> is there a place in georgia in particular tomorrow night you will be looking at in terms of early returns that you think is important for all viewers to look at? >> no. here's why. we had 56% of georgians cast their ballots early. those numbers will not be reflected during early returns. i think for everyone, it is important we reset how we view elections tomorrow. we are going to be getting a snapshot of a sliver of the election. so we need to be patient. we need to not prognosticate. we don't know what people have decided until they tell us when we actually open those envelopes and process and tabulate those

ballots. i will say we expect turnout to increase dramatically. i think we'll far exceed it. as long as we know those voters reflect the diversity of florida, they're in a good place. >> there is reporting about democrats being concerned about african-american and latino early voting so far in florida, arizona and others. do you think the party should be worried about turnout tomorrow? >> not yet. i know for a number of communities including georgia, florida and other states, black and latino voters receive higher rates of rejection by mail. there is steady traditions of voting on election day. what i would look for is making sure those voters start to show up tomorrow, that they are casting their ballots and that they have the ease of performance that other communities take for granted. if our communities are sufficiently invested in and if the resources are available, not based on zip code but based on

the fact we're american citizens that deserve to vote, i think we can get it done. >> appreciate your time. thank you. >> join us for special coverage tomorrow on the election the way only cnn can bring it to you from the critical count to a breakdown of what's happening in your state. our live coverage starts tomorrow 4:00 p.m. eastern. our coverage tonights right now. we'll return for a special election of 360. i turn it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." chris? >> okay. i'm chris cuomo and welcome to "prime time." we are three hours to history. we have never been where we are tonight. never. what we know for sure, america is activated. almost 100 million of you have already voted. we have never seen numbers like this. and we're not going to know the actual accounting. we're not going to know the actual impact for
