bellwether of what we are expecting in the country, and maggie hassan won by 8,000, so it could be a close night. that does it for me. thank you for the privilege of your time. i will see you tonight on msnbc and on telemundo. yasmin vossoughian picks up with more news right now. everybody, good morning to you. i am yasmin vossoughian coming to you from msnbc headquarters in new york city. it's election day in america. we have made it, everybody, after the tidal wave of ads and seesawing polls and the

occasional issues as well. you are taking a live look at where more than 40 million americans voted early, and as always, it's the turnout today that will make all of the difference. steve kornacki will look at the early clues with how this vote could go. our reporters are spread out across the country talking with folks at the polls as well with control of congress and the leadership of several states on the line, it could be weeks before we know the final results, supporters, candidates and allies all dialing up the urgency of this election with quite the range of closing messages. take a listen. >> they will be shaped by what happens in the next year to three years. >> if the people of georgia show up, i win. runoff? are you talking about a runoff? no, we're winning this. >> i believe in democracy, and i believe in a fair election.

>> we are going to take back america, and in 2024, most importantly, we are going to take back our magnificent white house. >> quite a day we have ahead of us. we want to start with reporters in battleground states, and we have gabe gutierrez. this talk of a possible runoff between herschel walker and raphael warnock. what is the feeling on the ground in georgia today, election day? >> reporter: hi, there. good morning. yes, there's a third-party candidate in georgia, and if no party reaches 50% of the vote, there's a runoff that would be scheduled for next month. certainly that's something voters could be expecting, however, voters i have spoke to do not want several more weeks of the relentless campaign ads,

a quarter billion flow into the race, with all eyes on the race between raphael warnock and herschel walker. it has been intensifying in these closing days. we are here in atlanta, in fulton county, and we saw a line of dozens of voters that were preparing to be here as the polls open this morning at 7:00 a.m. eastern time, and the line, of course, dwindled and we expect it to pick back up at lunchtime, and i asked voters what they see as the biggest issues in the race. take a listen to what they had to say from both sides of the aisle. >> decency, i guess, and i look at everything that is going on with, you know, what has happened with herschel walker, what has happened maybe in the past with brian kemp. >> you go to the grocery store and you spend so much money in

gas, and i just feel sorry for people that don't have money to make a living. >> reporter: i was just looking at twitter right now, and gabriel sterling said so far voting across georgia has been spectacularly boring, and that's good news, no problems so far, and thankfully voters' voices being heard in georgia in that critical senate race. >> boring on election day is usually the chorus, and we will see what happens later in the day. and then oz and fetterman, the most expensive race in the country. everybody is watching

pennsylvania with the full force of republican and democratic parties there as well. talk us through what is going on there today? >> reporter: everybody is watching, and voters are feeling the pressure and they are feeling anxious, because fetterman and oz still in a dead heat, and there's a potential of a split ticket. for context, i am in a suburban county around philadelphia, one of the counties that makes pennsylvania purple and it's where josh shapiro grew up, and he's the candidate for governor and he voted early this morning, and he was the senate senator that was running that flipped the district from red to blue after 20 years. this is the area that people, candidates, are really targeting today looking for that in-person turnout because of the tight senate race. i want you to hear from voters that i spoke with about their top concerns and what brought

them out to vote today. >> this could be one of the last times you get to vote in an election the way we are used to. >> it's frightening, because our state could change what is going to happen in our congress and our senate and in our little state here, so we have to really all come out and vote. >> fetterman, i feel, he's born in pennsylvania and one of us. dr. oz, he did not connect with me in any way, shape or form. >> reporter: while voters are voting, a lot of pressure on the mail-in ballots as well. lawsuits already flying over whether undated ballots should be counted or shouldn't be, and democrats saying this would isolate some groups, and the decision for 2020, the presidency was decided by less than 1%. and the ballots will be reported when polls close will be incredibly important and democrats looking for those to

be in their favor. >> and we want to head to wisconsin, mandela barns, and what is the case? >> reporter: for voters, there's anxiety and also purpose and joy. officials in milwaukee are saying voting is going smoothly so far, and at one location they are saying they are seeing lines comparable to a presidential election year. there are other issues, but there's a sense these are fundamentally close races in wisconsin, and there's the governor's race between evers and michaels tied all the way up to election day, including the latest polling, and then senator ron johnson and lieutenant governor, mandela barnes. for voters who are coming out,

yes, they are thinking about issues, but they are thinking about bigger implications for this election. listen to a little bit of what i mean. >> i knew it was important. >> reporter: why did you know it was important? >> well, our democracy is on the line, i feel. please get out the vote! it's our right and our obligation. we owe it to ourselves, so many important issues. >> every level of our democracy, it takes everybody to get out and do their part. that's why i am here. i am standing on the shoulders of many ancestors. >> reporter: i think my favorite moment this morning was a woman came out from voting and stretched her arms out in the air, and she saw our cameras and then got embarrassed. that's the excitement you are hearing in the milwaukee area, and they have until 8:00.

>> by the way, communicate to all the wisconsin voters, shaq, if you will, there's a lot of anxiety and we are all in this together, that's for sure. thank you all. with me here on set, by the way, i will chat with them but first i want to go to steve kornacki, who will not get far from that board today or in the days to come. tell us what you know as we are looking ahead, early clues, what are you watching? >> a couple places early on in the night will keep a close eye on florida, and most polls close at 7:00 p.m., and they report votes quickly in florida, and within half an hour of poll closing time in each county, you will get two-thirds of the vote reported, and that's going to be the early vote and mail-in vote, and you will get the full picture of florida by 11:00

tonight. we will get a good sense of the governor's race and senate race. one thing we will key in on in florida, miami-dade county, huge county, and the republicans lost by 30 in 2016, and cut that down to 7 in 2020. is that trend continuing? is that part of the national story we are telling you about the hispanic voters moving towards republicans. the governor's race and also the senate race, critically, i think we have reason to believe we will get more vote out earlier in georgia than last time, and they can be counting the mail-in vote and early votes today before the polls close, and they have a procedure to do that now, and many counties around atlanta may be reporting shortly after

the polls close, and north carolina, you have the 7:30 closing polls there. we could have a lot of early mail-in votes reported out. one place i will keep a close eye on early is new hampshire and the senate race, maggie hassan and bolduc. i think it's so important to watch this at 7:00, most of the cities and towns close at 7:00. we could start seeing town by town, city by city. the question is is bolduc running five or six points better than trump did, because if he is, he's in the game in new hampshire, and that could suggest something more significant nationally in terms of republicans having a good night. i think the cities and towns in new hampshire in that 7:00 hour, we're going to pay a lot of

attention to. >> we are so appreciative of you. good luck, my friend. lots of coffee and energy and sugar to get through. as i mentioned with me, former white house diplomacy chief of staff with president obama, welcome, jim, and also republican congressman from florida, and a msnbc political analysts. good to see you and talk to you on election day. let's talk florida, first, and kornacki went there first, and you see desantis or rubio pull through, and this is not a swing state anymore, it's decidedly red. >> indications show republicans will be doing well, and it will be a night for desantis, and i suspect our friends at fox news will give desantis all the airtime and he will give a national address kicking off his

2024 white house ambitions. democrats across the country have surprised in the last two years in key races, so it's too early to say that certainly is going to happen. it will be a big night for ron desantis, which is why donald trump is going to get in the game. >> we are going to talk about the november 15th date the former president dangled last night. and there are surprises we could see across the country with races, and what are you watching? >> two things, and one in the senate, steve has it right. if new hampshire is close, it will be a great night for the republicans. if we hold it the way we should hold it, we will look at two key races, and the first is pennsylvania, to see if the democrats can hold the senate, they have to have that, and then out west, if the republicans get

either one of those they will likely control the senate. democrats will have a better night than expected, and the governor's races have become the issue, and democrats -- >> i think they will pick up three or five governorships, and setting up in 2024, it's crucial to safeguarding our democracy and making sure democrats control the governorships in the key battleground states. >> you are making the jump to 2024. give me a second. we will get there. i want to play sound and, jim, i want you to weigh in on this about the president's optimism in the midterms, and then we will talk about it. take a listen. >> i am feeling optimistic, and i am always optimistic.

>> will democrats win the house? >> i think it will be tough, and i think we can. >> what will you do if it's a republican -- >> what do i think what? >> what is your new reality going to be like in washington if republicans win? >> difficult. >> that's putting it light. >> when i was negotiating obama health care passage -- >> it's a different time. it's a very different time. i think it steers into what he's good at. also, let's be honest, if the republicans were to take control of the house or senate, it would help biden's re-election prospects in 2012, and it's what you do in a presidential election. that said, you have a white house that desperately doesn't want to have those problems and

want to keep the house and senate. >> all right, 2024. we have heard the former president saying november 15th will be the day he is announcing for re-election. what is that going to do for the two years to come? what does that do for today, by the way? >> so it's interesting. a lot of republicans have said, oh, donald trump, don't step on election day. my response is there's zero daylight between donald trump and today's candidates. if you don't want trump out there, that's a problem for the republicans at large. >> what about independents? >> well, which way do they break? we know context is important. if democrats lose the house, it's not the end of the world but it's consistent with history.

if democrats can mitigate losses or hold the senate, that's a historic night for democrats if they can just keep the senate if you put it in the context of history. >> final word, jim, your words of wisdom? >> it will not be decided tonight and we will be waiting for days in the senate races, and it's all about who is coming out. we don't know the early numbers so we will have massive turnout. it depends on what state turnouts are. >> you don't know until you know. >> exactly. >> i didn't write that line. thank you and great to see you guys. up next, some of the most closely watched governor's races on this election day and the national impact the winners could have. plus, new warnings on election night misinformation on elon musk's twitter.

o'rourke running against incumbent governor, greg abbott. and then in new york, a race that is tighter than anybody predicted, hochul and zeldin. i will start with you, kerry, because i know the weather is picking up. talk to me. as i just mentioned with david jolly, we could see a red state after today's election, and as quickly as you can to get out of the rain, tell us where we are this morning? >> reporter: we will see a test of whether voters will get out to polls in weather like this, and we have the kind of weather here in eatonville, which is next to orlando, it was one of the first incorporated,

predominantly black communities in our nation in 1987, and the black vote is so critical in the senate race, and val demings, the democrat is willing to take on and unseat the incumbent, republican marco rubio. folks have been showing up today. the polls opened at 7:00, and there has been a lot of interest in the senate race. val demings recognizing 13% of the electorate in florida being african american, she must rely on that, because 18% of hispanics, they have gone toward the democrats especially with the puerto rican community, and if they break towards the republicans here, that could be difficult. take a look at the numbers here for the state. florida has about 14 plus

million voters. 34% democrats, 36% are republicans. then we have this really important group that both candidates need, which is the in party affiliation. 29%. that's a significant number. well, for the democrats, the hard part has been messaging. listen to what susan mcmahon had to say from the university of florida. >> the three key elements of the democratic base that turn out as kind of lagging in, young voters and also black voters and latino voters, and latinos are leaning republican, and democrats are struggling and they know it. >> reporter: so we will see how this all plays out. a reminder, as we have a break in the weather, and that happens in florida, and i can see blue sky already behind me, and it was, like, 90 seconds. we have two time zones to

remember, and in the pandemic, 7:00 for those in the east coast, it's 8:00. the system in florida, after that disaster back in 2000, the system in florida works and works quickly and perhaps more efficiently than in other states. >> nobody can predict weather better than kerry sanders, the trooper of all troopers. i will let you go in case that rain starts back up. >> lindsey, talk to us, kathy hochul is still in the lead, but the lead slipped a bit between hochul and lee zeldin. >> reporter: if you ask voters what drove them to the polls today, they might tell you something else. one gentleman told me it was the war in ukraine, and one woman told me it was reproduction

rights and another woman said it was election integrity, and what is going on here in new york? kathy hochul enjoyed wide margins over lee zeldin, and according to polls, that has tightened. she has $49 million in her war chest, and recently he has gotten republican super pac money flooding the airwaves talking about crime, and she's talked about increasing police presence. let's listen to what one voter told me about one of the crucial issues that made him want to get out today. >> i wouldn't want a trump

supporter to be governor. that's an issue in my mind. get back to more of an adult approach to elections that people don't start claiming that elections are stolen when they are not, and making scenes about stuff. >> we talked about the governor's race, and we are watching the race for new york district 17, and it's a new district because of redistricting, and he's the chair of the dccc and in charge of making sure democrats maintain control of the house and his seat is vulnerable today. >> thank you. from new york i want to go to texas. beto o'rourke against abbott. >> reporter: the message is to get out and vote. i will step out of the way and

show you the amount of voters, both democrats and republican, and republicans are out on the lawn shouting at voters, and they are saying vote your pocketbook. there's a line out the door here at the polling site. it has been this way all morning, and many points it has bench longer than this line, and what voters are thinking about, is what governor abbott has been talking about the last couple of days, jobs and the economy and the need to do more at the border. at the same time, beto o'rourke delivering a different message, health care access and abortion and slamming abbott for the power grid issues the state what a seen. i did speak to one democratic voter and i want to play for you what she told me was on her mind. >> i am scared for our democracy. they are trying to keep us from voting, especially minorities.

i really think we are going to be heading in a really bad path if they win the house and senate and in '24, the presidency. >> reporter: you might be wondering where does the economy fit in here for democrats? all the democrats i have spoke to and asked about that, and they say they lived a long time and have seen the economy go up and down and don't feel like any politician will be able to fix that. >> certainly a complicated political landscape in texas, to stay the least. lindsey, thank you. priscilla thompson, thank you as well. everybody, coming up, we have election deniers on the ballot. if they would not accept the 2020 results, what happens if they lose tonight or if they are in charge of running elections in 2024. and why one official says the department is on edge, the

welcome back, everybody. ballots casts across the country today, there will be 300 candidates that have or continue to deny the results of the 2020 election. one of the most prominent election deniers is in the state of arizona. the republican candidate for governor, kari lake, is neck and neck with her democratic opponent, katie hobbs. and then blake masters is also in a dead heat with democratic senator, kelly. and then dixon is neck and neck with democratic governor, whitmore. let me start with vaughn on this

one, the closing message for kari lake unsurprisingly was election denialism, essentially saying i don't necessarily trust the election system or what takes place tomorrow. how are folks in arizona right now on the ground reacting to that on election day? >> reporter: that is the big question. it's a renaissance towards election denialism, we know that. and the more conservative voters, how many of those folks are going to stand with democrats yet again in another election cycle when the economy, when the border security are at the top of mind for a great many of them. i want to let you hear from one voter we talked to, tiffany johnson, and i will let you hear what led her to vote for kari lake despite her hesitation.

>> you considered voting for katie hobbs? >> i did. >> why did you not vote for her and kari lake. >> the pause with kari lake, she's a trumper, and it's cringe worthy. >> tiffany, she also voted for blake masters, and this despite voting for mark kelly, and she voted for adrian fontes, and then in the attorney general's race, she voted for the republican. that's where we could get tonight, and we could get a mix match. not necessarily all four democrats or republicans will

win. >> thank you. jonathan, let's talk through a couple scenarios if we can. let's look at the state of arizona, specifically. in the 2024 election, if you have, for example, somebody like kari lake in the governor's office and we find ourself in the situation as we did in 2020, but yet it is kari lake who is the governor, somebody already expressed election denialism and already said she will question the results tomorrow. where does that leave us? >> chaos. republican-elected officials in some of the key states, remember, joe biden won the electoral college by 44,000 votes over three states, arizona, wisconsin and georgia. you had republican officials that stood up to donald trump to

a free election, and kari lake is starting to make excuses in the event that she loses tonight, which i think most analysts are predicted, and you could have a person who lost the election is declared the winner, and we know what that leads to. >> let's talk about the atmosphere in michigan as well, and -- >> it was part of the key electoral coalition in terms of defeating hillary clinton, and you could see michigan shifting in the next election, and you put tudor dixon in that office,

somebody that entertains the conspiracy theories for so long, and you have the same situation as you have in arizona. unlikely to happen in georgia where you get brian kemp as the republican and he was there last time, and if he wins he will be in a position to act like he did before, and there are a lot of stakes that go into making up the coalition for the winner, and we are looking at several key ones being in the hands of election deniers. >> if those people are now election deniers, and we look ahead to 2024, again, the question is, what then? where are we? where are we when it comes to this democracy? we could go on and on with this conversation, but we have to wait and see the results of the elections today. thanks. security polling sites have become a top priority, and they are planning for everything from

possible violence to cyberattacks, to voter intimidation at polling locations. and we have a correspondent joining me now on this. ken, good to talk to you. how real are these threats? how are the agencies preparing for them? >> they are very real, yasmin, and it's the most volatile threat they have ever seen when it comes to the potential for extremist violence. in 2020, the agencies were most concerned about the potential foreign interference in the election, and they still have a massive effort to guard against that but they are most concerned, they tell us, about the violence from domestic extremists. threats to election candidates, and they warned in an intelligence last week that polling places and vote counting sites are a potential target for

violence, and law enforcement agencies around the country are geared up to respond to reports of intimidation or violence at the polls. the fbi set up an election security command post at its washington headquarters where it's foreign influence task force is watching for that activity by foreign adversaries, and agents are ready to respond to complaints about possible voting rights violations or potential violence in cooperation with the doj civil rights division. one senior official told me federal agencies are about as prepared as they possibly could be, and despite months of planning and table top exercises, people of anxious and on edge. >> as always, thank you. coming up, everybody, potential sleeper senate races? could there be upsets in states not getting as much attention as

day. >> reporter: i am glad i am in this part of the state of north carolina, and there are a lot of people unaffiliated and don't have much affinity for either party. when i talk to people, issues at the top of their minds is abortion and the economy, and trust and disgust with their elected officials and a feeling like the tone, the political conversation in this country has hit an absolute low, and that's about the ads they are seeing on tv, and also the state in things not just in north carolina but in the country. they are voting at the top of the ticket, for ted budd and

cheri beasley. take a listen to a conversation i had with one unaffiliated voter here. >> for us, you know, we want a good, healthy community. we don't like candidates that do a lot of talking and not a lot of doing, so we liked the specific things that candidates were saying instead of just, you know, i am going to do all these wonderful things. how are you going to do them? that's how we went through most of our choices. >> reporter: she said her top issue was reproductive rights for women, and also said that she voted for a mix of candidates from different parties because she's worried about the tone and the sort of divisiveness in this country. i will tell you, i think the 13th district is going to be a bellwether and people should keep an eye on it tonight and the way this district will go will tell us about the rest of the country and north carolina. >> i want to go to new hampshire, and we talked about

turnout, and no early voting in the state of new hampshire. what are the lines looking like this morning? >> reporter: we are in bedford, new hampshire, and they are expecting a record turnout. that's the one thing people on both sides of the election agree on is this is an important one. don bolduc in the primary campaign, and the thinking was from the republican governor he was not a serious candidate, and democrats put money into his campaign thinking he will be the easier candidate, and here we are on election day, and maggie hassan fighting for her political life. here's what voters in the granite state told me about what is important to them. >> i am just concerned about loss of rights overall. as a woman it's super important to me to have freedom over my body and choices.

republican. had mark zuckerberg done that on 2020, there would have been a congressional investigation. what is on twitter trending? cheating. >> that's one of the top words obvious twitter. it is pointing to one of the wild parts of the internet, where the poor election worker is putting things in a specific box at one location because the tabulation machines are not working. don't use box three anywhere. box three is the shredder. it's really early and that's what's happening right now. they got rid of this moderation staff that would have otherwise maybe kept this stuff in check. maybe made it so these sorts of active lies are less visible. but here we are now. the 2022 authentication of the internet is coming. >> is musk making any effort to

election. this was a building tide over the course of time. and these -- in part because of how the republicans structured elections and how they tabulate vote in places like pennsylvania, where the vote comes later, we are set up for something where a democrat might take a lead tomorrow. this is going to be a week-long thing. >> one quick last thing for folks looking at twitter right now on election day, what can they trust? >> just don't. go to the a.p. bencollins. you have rachel maddow, joy reid, steve kornacki, with our election night coverage. breaking down the results as they come in.
