this is it. the final big push to the first name right, because the casting of ballots is almost over. the counting of ballots, that's getting ready to start in most places. in some places, they're doing it, but you've got control of congress, the direction of the country on the line. the five things we have to be watching for over the next hours and days, plural, with our campaign reporters live across the country. we're also live in washington with the mood inside the white house. publicly confident, privately,

maybe not so much. also this hour, our team is watching the polls. lawsuits popping up. some precincts reporting issues counting. we've got our team standing by with that. i'm hallie jackson from election headquarters here in new york with our reporters out covering races including in pennsylvania. a lot of talk about there where dasha burns is. guad is in nevada. jesse in youngstown, ohio. there are some question on everybody's minds, right, as we are getting close to seeing exit polls in a few hours as polls will start to close in about four hours from now. when are we going to know the results? that's first. close races, different laws mean it might be days. there's a good chance we're not going to call the senate balance of power tonight potentially. don't think you're going to see the whole picture come 2:00 a.m. number two, will the

trump-backed candidates over or underperform. is that goeng to translate to a general? we're also looking at how much abortion access the going to factor into turnout. democrats were hoping that was going to make a big difference. number four, will latino voters shift further to the right? democrats need that in arizona, nevada, texas to try to stay ahead in house and senate races. they're a group as a whole that has proven not to be a voting monolith for democrats. then with hundreds of elections on the arizona ballot, many who are expected to win in 2020, what kind of impact is that going to have on democracy? dasha, when are we going to start to see results? election officials are getting those mail-in ballots. in pennsylvania, there may even be, it may be longer than

expected to see results. >> i know you love to put things into buckets. this is going to be complicated. there's the election day process. there are the lawsuits and then there are the complications. so the election day process. folks right now voting behind me in ohio township, a suburb in pittsburgh here and we were hoping that maybe we might get results out of pennsylvania potentially sometime on wednesday. those hopes have been pretty much dashed because commissioners in philadelphia, this is a city where we know we were going to be waiting a while to get results. they have reinstated a process, nerdy word here, paul volcker voter reconciliation. a way to make sure folks aren't double voting. they felt it was taking too much time and wasn't a big enough issue. they've now reinstated that which is going to really slow down the process significantly

so we might not hear until thursday, friday, potentially even into the weekend. the other bucket, the lawsuits. the fetterman campaign has already, we haven't got results yet, but they've already filed a lawsuit to overturn the pennsylvania supreme court ruling that told elections officials to set aside and not count mail-in ballots that don't have a date or have an incorrect date on the outer envelope. the fetterman campaign says those votes should continue. that it's a violation not to count them. we are just hearing out of luzerne county where our team has spent a lot of time. i started to get calls from voters this morning saying they were running out of printer paper and we just got off a call with an official who said there's been a widespread paper shortage which means some voters don't have ballots at their

location so they can't vote. they're now rushing to get ballots from a nearby town. this is not something you can go buy at staples. ballot paper is very, very specific. there's a lot of concern there and poll close time has been extended to 10:00 p.m. to give voters more time, but the council member said this is really going to discourage folks from voting if they say come back later. that's a big problem on election day. >> you've got a long night, long week most certainly. sahel, i was watching 7:00 a.m., people were lining up to vote as soon as polls opened eastern time in georgia. this thing may go to a runoff. talk to me about the mood on the ground, what you're seeing and hearing. >> it's possible it goes to a runoff. we are looking at a range of possibilities here in georgia. tonight, the race for the senate is currently neck and neck between warnock and walker.

it is possible if we get a winner call tonight. both campaigns are projecting confidence or at least hope they can do that. we night not know in the event there is a winner that that would be called tonight. it could take another day or so. there's also the possibility that it goes to a runoff. even if it does, we might not know tonight because the last time in 2020, one of the senate races took several days for us to know that both would fall under the 50% threshold. i would buckle up. there's a range of possibilities. if there's a runoff, it would take place on december 6th. the closing arguments from both have been notable. both are going after republican voters in this stronghold that shifted towards democrats for the first time since 2020. walker is going after the hard core conservative campaigning with the likes of lindsey graham, talking about things like transgender athletes, pronouns, attacking hunter

biden. whereas you have warnock reaching out to the crossover voter, the soft republican who used to vote republican in the suburbs of atlanta but couldn't do it anymore as a result of trump's new direction for the party. he has an ad trying to disqualify walker playing testimonials from top republicans in the state including the lieutenant governor making the case that walker has not earned his respect for his vote. those are the closing arguments. we'll be watching every vote. >> thank you. one of the things we've been watching is the latino support for democrats. another issue on the ground, looks to be inside, rain and snow in some parts of the state today which could depress turnout. we don't know. we'll see. but that could be a factor. >> reporter: overnight, there was talk of a winter storm

coming to nevada so snow and rain in the two largest counties with the most voters. we had light rain in the las vegas area. we are inside a shopping center. what they're doing here at the mall is making sure the line of people that come to vote here stays inside. they're trying to accommodate and the question of course is especially in areas where it's snowing is that going to affect turnout. why is turnout so important? because coming into election day, things are so tight in nevada. you look at the early voting, the mailed in ballots from registered democrats and republicans, there's a very narrow lead from the democrats. that's why they know that into election day, turnout was so important for both parties. we know that a lot of republicans like to come vote the day of. so far, the numbers we've seen here in clark county and also in washo is more republicans showing up to vote. you have the mail-in ballots that we won't know what the numbers are like and you

mentioned the latino vote. we've been talking about the latino vote. the polls indicate more would move to the republican side. we asked catherine cortez masto about this and she said she thinks she's maintaining support and the democrats, workers union. this is 60,000 union members helping the democrats. this morning at 6:00 a.m., they were out there knocking on doors. they offer rides to voters that need to get to a voting location and this is very powerful. they're projecting to knock on 1 million doors in the state of nevada so this is one of the most important weapons that democrats have to secure that latino vote. the latino vote overall was projected to be one-fifth. so one in five voters during the midterms here in nevada are projected to be latino. a vote that by the way the democrats have had for years. latino vote is for the democrats to lose and republicans to get. one more thing. republicans only need a chunk of that in order to get enough votes to win this election and we should also mention the

nonpartisans. very important because as of now, the votes we have coming into election day, one-fifth of those were nonpartisan. so there's another factor if republicans can sway those voters over and they can win the election because things here are so close. >> guad, thank you. jesse, you are in ohio where we may after tonight see the answer to one of the questions we listed at the top of the show, which was the power of a trump endorsement in a particular race. vance obviously got that election trump rally. he's a former president who won the state in 2020 by eight points. talk us through what you're hearing from voters and what we can expect tonight. >> reporter: this is one of the questions we've been asking for months here in ohio. plenty of candidates to choose from here. this is the man we were thinking about compared against vance. tim ryan. he is hoping to take this open senate seat which is currently

opened by rob portman. this idea of former president trump's influence goes back to the primary. vance was in a crowded primary field and he was trailing in that field until of course he got the endorsement of former president donald trump and that sent him way over the top and gave him a substantial lead in the primary and obviously he prevailed and is now the republican nominee. so the question after the results come in tonight is going to be one of is that poll that mr. trump has within the party something that carries over into the general election. you mentioned former president trump was here stumping for vance last night. we asked some voters here about this. we are in tim ryan's congressional district so obviously this is a place that knows him, is going to have democratic tendencies, but this is what some voters are saying. you think that helps him or hurts him? >> i think hurts him more anything. >> how come?

>> what else you got to say? it's trump. he's a wild card. >> wasn't voting for vance either way. >> i think that can go either way. there's a lot of support for certain people, but i didn't listen. >> so former president trump seen as a wild card by some out there. this state is a wild card traditionally, a bellwether, but it has been trending more republican. we'll see if that reverses course tonight. >> thank you. we'll be talking to you tonight on msnbc. you heard jesse talk about former president trump, i know you heard this news, teased this big announcement a week after election day. november 15th. looming in the background even though we are not done with 2022 yet is 2024, but tonight's elections are also a referendum on president biden. democrats who currently control

congress. setting the stage, this 44% approval rating but democrats holding an edge. i want to bring in monica alba. you're reporting along with our white house team there that sources are telling you, of course the president's publicly confident. it would be news if he wasn't, right? a whole different ball game if he wasn't publicly confident, but sources behind the scenes seem to have a different read on the moment. >> that's right. the president himself refers to himself as an incurable optimist so that is his tone heading into election night. but i think we can take a lot away from what he is doing today. he is out of sight because he is not on the ballot, but of course, his policies are. so the president has been engaged virtually today talking to some top democratic leaders. the chair of the dnc, house speaker nancy pelosi, doing some of those behind the scenes calls, but he hasn't been out front of the cameras either and that's because the white house

has been lowering expectations about tonight for weeks now. that's because we know that midterm elections are tough for the party in power. the president last night said he thinks it's possible that democrats could hang on to the senate, but that the house will be very, very tough. that is what we're hearing from aides. biden officials telling me that they are going to be measuring how this night goes based on potentially how many seats democrats do lose. and if that number is in a smaller average, if it's about 20 or less, they're going to view that potentially and spin that as something of a victory depending again on what we are going the see here. so another big question is how the president will answer some of these tough questions. traditionally presidents of both parties hold a press conference. this white house hasn't committed to that saying we will likely hear from the president in some form, but these results could take so long to tabulate,

that may factor into the president's decision then he leaves for a week long foreign trip on thursday. >> thank you. come up, legal challenges are already happening in a key swing state. we're going to get the latest from our vote watch team monitoring this and a number of other legal challenges potentially across the country. plus, we are under two hours now from our first exit polls. the first real data we're going to get in. so let's talk red wave, blue wave, red ripple, blue ripple. but first, we'll get to some key governors races. where those races stand and what to expect tonight in just 60 seconds. see you in a minute. tonight in 0 seconds. see you in a minute. (vo) with verizon, you can now get a private 5g network. so you can do more than connect your business, you can make it even smarter. now ports can know where every piece of cargo is. and where it's going.

issues that will be decided in state houses across the country like the future of democracy, who can vote and when. will election results even be accepted? all of it could come down to who your governor is, your secretary of state, your attorney general. we've never really seen an election like this before with entire slates of candidates in key states questioning the results of the last election. suggesting they're not going to accept the outcome of this one. the republican candidate for arizona governor, this is her right after voting. she was walking in, came out. she said without evidence here that republican votes are not being counted. again, no evidence to support that claim. >> they've got to fix this problem. this is incompetency. i hope it's not malice but we're going to fix it, we're going to win and when we fix it, there's going to be a come to jesus. ali, we heard lake there pointing to, i think she was

pointing to, what seemed to be some technical issues in maricopa county. cybersecurity officials say none of the potential hitches amount to a legitimate threat to election integrity. you talked to an election official there. bring us up to speed on what you're hearing. >> reporter: i think to better understand the issues that we're hearing and seeing with maricopa county tabulation machines, i think it's important to start with kari lake as you started at the top there. we know she has said that the 2020 election was stolen. she's refused to say whether she'd accept the results of this election against the secretary of state of this state, katie hobbs, if she loses this race. and shortly yesterday, actually, she previewed voting today saying she was quote, worried. so shortly after we heard about these issues with these tabulation machines, we saw her retweeting these videos from voters at these polling locations that were experiencing these issues and one tweet

saying this is quote, why we should reform our elections. as you mentioned, she stepped out to vote a couple of minutes ago with an attorney for her campaign by her said and listen to what she told reporters when she went out to vote today. >> the few of those locations, maybe every fifth or fourth ballot is not being accepted, but we have a redundancy for that. those folks can place their ballot into door number three and this is a secure location where the ballots will remain. >> reporter: that was maricopa county board of supervisors who told me today that roughly 40 polling locations out of maricopa's 223 were experiencing these issues where these ballots were not being misread, they were just not being accepted. spitting them out every fourth

or fifth ballot, but he gave voters some options if they encounter these machines. he said they could either place it in a secure box at the bottom of the machine that will be picked up at the end of polling. at voting today, then taken by a bipartisan board where they'll been inspected and counted individually. he said voters could go to another polling location and submit another ballot there or he said they could wait for technicians to figure out this issue and wait for the machines to go back online. we've been checking in with the county and haven't heard an update as to any, as to whether any if at all, these polling locations are back online. >> ali, keep an eye on that. we'll look for updates throughout the show. glenn, former president trump two years ago was pressuring elections officials there. even before that, kemp and abrams, they were questions that came up about fairness because

kemp oversaw his own election. georgia has this new voting law being tested this cycle. we've seen a lot of early votes come in. >> you know what i think is interesting is when you talk about georgia's new voting law, republicans have been pointing to the early voting turnout here in the state of georgia and the fact we saw a record breaking turnout for a midterm and saying this is proof that georgia's new law only expands the ballot and doesn't restrict access to the ballot and they've been defending this law, but democrats say absolutely not. not so fast. they point quickly to the fact that they are now 1.6 million more registered voters now than they were back in 2018 so they say of course the voting turnout is going to go up because there are many more people who can come out to vote. but one of the issues a lot of critics are pointing to is something we talked about yesterday. the fact that a number of absentee ballots weren't mailed out in time.

critics point to georgia's new voting law for that reason. they say they're changing up their efforts today. they have more people fanned out at counties and polling locations because they want to make sure people aren't confused or discouraged by some of the changes in the law. i think another thing to point out though is lines. here in georgia of course, we always watch lines dating back to the 2020 primary back in june and even this location where i'm standing here in atlanta saw a rather hefty weight on the first day of early voting. that's not been the case almost any place we've checked today. everybody i've spoken to, all the weight times, the secretary of state's office says the voting is flowing smoothly. we haven't seen sizable back ups. one thing where we are going to see this law is when it comes to counting ballots. one big thing that changed is that counties can start scanning those at the beginning of the

day. think don't have to wait until polls close. that's a big change because it means they're going to be able to process those more quickly. >> blaine, thank you. we talked to ali in arizona. there's a link between arizona and michigan, yamiche. two of the three states where all three statewide candidates are election deniers or skeptics. alabama is the other, but arizona and michigan, key 2024 battlegrounds. there's a lot riding on this. >> reporter: certainly. good afternoon. what we see in michigan is on the republican side, the top candidates for governor, for secretary of state, for attorney general, they're all questioning or full on denying the 2020 election. gretchen whitmer has made this part of our argument against dixon. she's been saying she's a conspiracy theorist. listen to what she said this

morning about dixon. >> the biggest difference is my opponent is someone who's election denier. and so you know, i'm prepared to accept the will of the people. i hope ultimately, she will do the right thing as well. whether it goes her way or not, democracy's not more important than one person's ego or political agenda. >> reporter: even though whitmer has been talking a lot about abortion because there's a referendum on the ballot here, she's been hammering her opponent on the issue of threats to democracy. she was at one point a target of a kidnapping plot. there were people convicted, arrested of trying to kidnap her. on the republican side, you've heard dixon say i'm not a conspiracy theorist. she has been questioning the 2020 election. i said are you going to accept

the result of this election? she said she would only accept the results if there wasn't cheating like the last election. there was no evidence of voter fraud here in michigan. there are already legal challenges happening here. we saw the republican secretary of state here. she already filed a legal challenge saying voters in detroit should be subjected to more observation and a different set of rules. a judge has thrown that out, but it tells you there are legal maneuverings happening here. here, things seem to be going smoothly and seem to be secure, but it just tells you things here are continuously evolving. >> continuously evolving is the catch phrase of the day, the afternoon. thank you. great to see all of you. i appreciate it. you may have noticed that a lot of the candidates these three were talking about are women and that's because more women are

running for governor. 25 women. one of the many things we're watching tonight. still ahead, if you want to know our big or small the red wave could be in the house, and again, we may not know right away, we're going to look at the key races to watch as results start coming in for clues on where political winds are blowing. plus, we'll take you to new york and texas where republicans may be getting an edge in some close house races. stay with us. n some close house races. stay with us

is it going to be a red wave, red ripple, that's a tongue twister. that's a big question a lot of people are going to be watching for when house results start coming in later tonight. what would a red wave even look like in the house? if history is telling us anything, the president's party usually loses seats in that president's first set of midterms. look at president trump. his party lost 40 seats. barack obama, his party lost 63 seats. bill clinton, his party lost 54 seats. mark murray is here to break it down. we're going to talk about the idea of what's the number going to be in a second, but let's start with what races, house side, you're going to be watching for. virginia, there's a couple of races i'm going to have my eye

on. >> three in virginia. the first, the democratic incumbent, she's on the january 6th committee. she's facing a really tough challenge in the coastal virginia seat. if she goes down, i don't think it will necessarily be a sign of a huge red wave, but she's one of the first priorities the republicans have. democrats still feel good that spanburger is going to be in the hunt in that race. >> the real wave one is -- >> virginia ten. that is like closer to where we live in washington, d.c. area. those in the northern virginia suburb areas. if republicans break in there, whoa. it is, you're going to see a lot. >> for democrats the rest of the night. >> that's the three different scales in virginia. the small one, virginia two, then virginia seven then virginia ten.

>> also a couple of races in new york and texas that you will be watching and so will our correspondents that are with us now. lindsey, let me start with you. you're in new york where maloney, top democrat in the house as far as fund-raisers, is now a vulnerable incumbent in a close race. tell me how they're seeing things. >> reporter: maloney is the highest ranking democrat now to be in a vulnerable seat and i've been spending time with voters today. the issues driving voters, crime, abortion, security, the war in ukraine. he says democrats look at their records, look at what we've been doing and if we get re-elected, if we can maintain control of congress, we're going to tackle

childcare costs, codify roe. he would also like to see the national government provide more energy. also like to see some of the reform laws that are here in new york state. let's listen to what the candidates are telling me in terms of their confidence level this election day. >> i feel very good about the campaign. we've left it all on the field so i trust the voters today. today's their day to make a judgment. >> i'm excited. we've been barn storming this district for five and a half months and the enthusiasm we've seen so far is fantastic. voters are energized. they want change. >> there's been a lot of money that's pumped into this area into that race in particular. maloney trying to brush off

ideas that this is more competitive than it should be saying he's having to fight every two years to earn the seat. there's redistricting. >> lindsey, thank you. priscilla, you're watching another house race where dems are on defense. this time in texas. talk to us about what you're seeing and hearing. she's on mute. there she goes. >> reporter: voters are coming out -- >> we missed the first few lines, but we're talking about the race you're covering in texas. fill us in. >> reporter: yeah, you see that line behind me. it's out door right now. been out the door just about all day here and voters are certainly making their voices heard in this election. the voters i've spoken to, a lot weren't really familiar with the specifics of these congressional races, but they are familiar

with this high profile governor's race on the ballot and many of the voters i talked to who expressed concerns about the border, about the economy and about crime said that they were voting republican up and down that ticket, but i also heard from a lot of women who said they were supporting democrats, specifically on the issue of abortion. i spoke to one woman, marisa. she said she considers herself a religious person and voted for beto on the issue of abortion because while she feels like it may not be the right choice for her, it's a choice that a woman is allowed to make and that's between her and god, not her and the government. take a listen to some of the other issues that came up in my conversations. >> education and abortion rights. >> security and economy. >> economy. >> abortion. yes, i'm pro-choice. so that's important for me. the other one is education and also law enforcement and border

control. >> reporter: and i asked a lot of those democratic voters where does the economy fall on your list and what i heard from a lot of them specifically older voters, is that they have lived through a lot of different administrations and a lot of different economic economic situations and that this inflation issue is a global issue and they're not sure if democrat or republican would do a better job on that. it's just something they have to let play out. >> thank you in texas there for us. mark, back to you. in other words, i think there's a sense that some of the gop are feeling really good about the house but they want a victory to be seen as a victory and not a little victory. >> i think a really strong democratic, we know the democrats actually overperform because the republicans really only net about ten or 15 house

seats. republicans still hold the majority, but it wouldn't be that huge of a night. all of a sudden, if we're getting close to a wave, like 20 to 25 and it's a really big night if you see 30 or more. republicans actually gained 12 house seats in the 2020 presidential cycle and so they're actually in a strong position so if they only get like say they net 20 house seats, they're still going to be in a majority of 230 plus house seats, which is a formidable majority to be able to have. so even if they're like the 20 or so, that's going to be a strong majority for the next speaker in whether that's kevin mccarthy or someone else. >> let me say, too, there's going to be a lot of discussion on a wave. it may be really early to talk about that tonight. i feel that's important to tell people. we may not know wave or not for days. >> i'm glad you brought that up. in 2018 when we were trying to

judge the democratic wave, we didn't know they ended up having their 40th house seat they ended up winning until after thanksgiving, so it was weeks. so when we were going to be judging how many seats was it and how big is a wave, we're probably not going to know for a couple of weeks, maybe even a month. >> good to see you. appreciate it. we're tracking the early legal battles emerging. in just a minute, we'll take you live to our vote watch team. but first, a live look at philly's ballot processing site with about four hours until polls close. more live coverage after the break. e. more live covera agefter the break. to try any subway footlong for free. like the subway series menu. just buy any footlong in the app, and get one free. free monsters, free bosses, any footlong for free! this guy loves a great offer. so let's see some hustle! if you're going big this holiday season free monsters, free bosses, any footlong for free! wayfair has just what you need. with holiday decor from just $9.

polls not closed yet, but we are seeing some legal fights in texas, louisiana, florida, north carolina, illinois. our vote watch team here is tracking all of this. all the election security issues, voting issues, lawsuits that are emerging as we speak. just this afternoon, an illinois clerk's office said it was hit by a cyber attack making its website run slower, but not stopping voters from casting ballots. in florida, governor desantis is fighting with the doj trying to block election monitoring from going to polling places in south florida. in texas, the naacp filed a lawsuit. all of it as a senior federal cyber official tells nbc news today they see now imminent cybersecurity threats and none

of these potential hitches amounted to a legitimate threat. let me bring in ken dilanian who is sitting on our vote watch desk as part of that team. talk us through what we're expected to see as law enforcement agencies are gearing up for this moment. >> we hope to have nothing significant to report on this front, but the reality is that law enforcement officials tell us this is the most volatile threat environment they have ever seen when it comes to the potential for extremist violence. one official told me federal agencies were prepared as much as they could be, but officials are anxious and on edge. that's because they were warned last week that extremists could target election workers, voters and election related sites including polling places, drop box locations, campaign events and even political party

offices. the good news is law enforcement sources are telling us they are not aware of any specific plots but say the heightened threat extends well past election day as votes are counted. we've also heard nothing significant about another major election threat, which is foreign interference. the fbi set up an election security command post at its washington headquarters where it has a foreign influence task force. it also has separate command centers in its 56 field offices where agents are ready to respond to cyber attacks, disinformation, violence and complaints about possible voting rights violations. so a comprehensive approach, but so far, no major threats. >> ken dilanian, thank you for staying on top of it. appreciate it. still ahead, we're taking you live to the one district that could be the big early bellwether for tonight. plus, our teams in states all
