georgia. are you seeing long lines? >> reporter: jim, we robbery here now for six hours and for the first time, we have seen it slow down a little bit, but it has been very crowded all day. up until now, the minimum wait is a half hour and up to 90 minutes. the polls here in georgia are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. when the doors open, more than 100 people streamed in right away. that was notable because it was rapii raining outside. people want to vote for or against president trump and that made people enthusiastic about voting. we are in cobb county. this was the home of the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. it always has been a republican county, about you it changed over the years. the most recent election, hillary clinton defeated donald trump by less than 2%, but she won and it's a battle ground county. we have been talking to people all day. lots of people are voting for the republican, kemp. lots of people are voting for the democrat, abrams. the race may not come to an end. can't wait until tuesd

long lines in florida, georgia, virginia, texas and wisconsin. we are watching races today in each of the states. by far the biggest question, what is america's mid-term verdict on president trump? democrats are within reach, favored, in fact, to retake the house, which would create a giant roadblock and new avenues for oversight and investigations. let me take a peek at the senate map. it favors republicans. democrats see places of movement in missouri and indiana and hope to block republicans from adding to their 51-seat majority. some don't get as much national attention, but they are critical to the hopes outside of washington in 2020 battle grounds. the president went all in states where senate seats hang in the balance. the president added some friction and fear to return that message centered on immigration. >> democrats are inviting caravan aftercare van. isn't that nice? of illegal aliens to flood into our country and overwhelm your communities. if the radical democrats take power, they will take a wrecking ball to our economy and to the

they are waiting in two to three hour lines in georgia and texas and florida to cast a ballot. voting should not be as difficult as it is in this country, but it is heartening to see so many people get out and participate in spite of the barriers they are facing. amy: and this 36 million, it is believed many our young people. and the significance of this is that all of the polls talk about likely voters -- which are people who have voted before. -- have federal rourke better rourke and texas, lot of the all-time pundits and networks saying doesn't he understand these people are not going to vote? that is what he's going to lose, they say. on the other hand, maybe he has tapped into something absolutely critical. this could clearly take him over the top. >> if you look at the numbers early voting shattering g recors among young people, among people of color. percent,ing is up 200 300%, 400% among young voters in places like florida and texas and georgia compared to 2014. usually a lot ofof people sit ot midterm elections. have record turnout, half of americans aren't going to pa
