i was going to dress all white, in suffragette white, but i am a working mum. on the stroke of midnight in a small hamlet in new hampshire, people have been going to the polls in record-breaking numbers, writing the next chapter of the american story, after a campaign filled with anger, mistrust and hate. this is where the story started, philadelphia, the city of america's founding fathers, where a crowd gathered late last night determined to send an american mother to the white house. singing. they were serenaded by the boss, bruce springsteen, the warm up for two presidents two first ladies. the democrat's political a list. i'm betting that america will reject the politics of resentment. and a politics of blame. and choose the politics that says we are stronger together. and more star power later on at a midnight rally with bon jovi and lady gaga where hillary clinton almost framed this election as a battle between good and evil. it is a choice between division or unity. between strong, steady leadership or a loose cannon... cheering. who could risk everythin

anthony played a pivotal role in the suffragette movement.amously said on her -- as she got towards death the only thing she regretted is that she never got to see women get the vote. >> but it happened all because of her. >> nice idea that people are going to visit that. let's take a look outside right now and check what's going on. looking live in west conshohocken, this is the blue route at the schuylkill. no problems between i-95 and the schuylkill expressway. we are looking good. construction blocks the left lane on the northeast extension both ways between quakertown and lansdale and the strike is over. everything is running back to normal. >> yay! >> whoo-hoo! dave. >> very good. frost advisories through parts of the region for the second straight morning much cape may county delaware county and down through the state of delaware. protect those plants if you haven't already. and as we head through the day, 40 degrees by 7 o'clock. in the 30's when polls open in a lot of neighborhoods this morning so bundle up early but by 10:00, 53. if

anthony played a pivotal role in the suffragette movement.y has extended hours at mount hope cemetery today for anyone who wants to come out and pay their respects. my guess is that gravestone will be covered in i voted stickers by the ends of the night. >> i would like to imagine her look, down kind of excited. let's take a look outside right now and show you what's going on on the roads this morning in bucks county. this is i-95 at the scudder falls bridge. no construction here yet but on the new jersey side in ewing township construction blocks the right lane until 2 o'clock this afternoon and some crews are out here on the turnpike eastbound near willow grove blocking the right lane and left lane on the exit ramp dave. >> a frost advisory again this morning in delaware. all the way up to delaware county in pennsylvania and cape may kuehne so those potted plants come in. most of you have probably already done. that 40 degrees by 7 o'clock. if you're headed to the polls early you'll want a coat particularly if there's a line. after that we

girl, which was way ahead of its time, because bloomer girl was dolly bloomer, who was an acactual suffragetteical in those days. and the show was about dolly bloomer, and she ran an underground railroad, bringing slaves u up, and she h had an undergunund paper, a and she was an incredible woman. anand this was a political show. some great songs in therere. maureen mcgovern does "right as the rain" in a great way. lena horne does "eagle and me," which was the first song on broadway that wasn't a blues lamentation about the black-white situation. it was a call to action. "we gotta be free, the eagle and me." ok? and dooley wilson, who was in casablanca, sang that. >> ♪ we've got to be free me ♪agle and earnie: so, again, yip managed to get his philosophy into his show, which was the second truly integrated american musical after oklahoma. and while, you know, it hasn't been played around, it's still marked that historicically. after thatat came finian's rainbow. amy goodman: you mean blacks and whites playing in the cast. ernie harburg: no, not in there. in finian's rainbow, i mean that it was

she was a suffragette.he fought desperately for women, she was a hero and people were voting for hillary. they were putting stickers on her grave. racism also steeped in and did not want black men devote before women got the vote. that would not have been fair to her because white women, white is better than black men. [laughter] those are the inherent contradictions. did that negate all the good that she did? of course not. it tells the story with the complexity that it deserves and hopefully allows us to see each other more clearly. and have an empathy and compassion to the complexity of people's hierarchy of needs and not negate people for the worst statement they have ever did or in the liberal community, you hate the city of creating people as a monolith. do not look at muslims as a monolith. they are individuals. but everybody who voted for trump is a monolith. is a racist. that is again, that hypocrisy is also real in our country. and so, this is the fight that we wage against ourselves. america is n

well, and also one of the suffragette colors as well. i wanted to mark the moment of what's happening in the room, as you did, wolf, she's thanking her supporters. not just supporters, i just got a text from somebody who worked on a campaign and talked about what it wlik you're on a losing campaign and it is not just a personal disappointment. this friend of mine said it's like a professional and a personal death, because it's the death of a dream. you believe in this person so much that you give your life to their cause, the cause of them being elected for years, and that's what the people in that room are feel writings now. >> -- right now. >> just got a statement, george w. bush. father issued a statement, spoke on the phone with donald trump. a statement? george w. bush. this morning i called donald trump and congratulated him as president of the united states of america. laura and i wish the president-elect, melania and the entire trump family all our very best as they take on an awesome responsibility and begin an exciting new chap

she was a suffragette. people were putting stickers on her grave. but i think she was also steeped in racism and didn't want black men to vote before she got to vote because white women are better than black men! so those are the inherent contradictions. does that negate all the good she did? of course not, but it tells the story with the complexity that it deserves and, hopefully, allows us to see each other more clearly and have an empathy and compassion for the complexity of people and not negate people for the worst statement they've ever made or, in the literal community, you hate this idea of creating people as a monolith. don't look at muslims as amonto lit. they are individuals and it would be ignorance. but everybody who voted for trump is a monolith, is a racist. that hypocrisy is also real in our country. and, so, this is the fight that we wage against ourselves because america is not natural. natural is tribal. we're fighting against thousands of years of human behavior and history to create something no one's ever -- that's what's excep

i have worn my white and purple, colors of the suffragettes in honor of the fact that the first womanon to be elected president of the united states. but until the people speak, we don't know. >> woodruff: so what are you expecting tonight? you obviously are hoping for democrats to do well everywhere, but what are you hearing? what kind of information are you getting that you trust? >> well, tonight i believe that the democrats will come out in a stronger position. we will, of course, retain the white house, with the election of hillary clinton. i believe we will gain the united states senate. it will be close, but we will retain the united states senate and we will pick up many seats in the house of representatives. >> woodruff: why are you so confident about the white house? >> because i'm confident in the american people. i believe that hillary clinton is one of the best-prepared people in our history to enter the oval office with her vision, her knowledge, her experience, her strategic thinking, her connection to the american people, and i think she has made that case. but as you

you see people going to the grave sites of suffragettes and leaving their "i voted" stickers. for a certain segment of voters, particularly older women who have waited for this moment for decades and decades, it will be really meaningful. i do think, in terms of donald trump, there were two theories about why romney lost. was it because he didn't get enough white voters or because he didn't have a diverse base of voters who liked him. and i think we -- you know, i mean so far it looks like trump is betting that it's about white voters. and it could be that he does better than mitt romney. >> david, you worked with candidates on both sides of the aisle. presidents on both sides of the aisle. at this point do the campaigns themselves -- they all have internal data -- do they know whether or not their candidate is going to win? >> they've got a very good idea. usually the candidate will know one or two nights before. we've got it. we don't have it. you have to prepare yourself. yes. what they really do is start thinking about governing. what comes next. i do think tonight one of

suffragettes, people of color, brown versus board of education, the voting rights act, cesar chavez andorking farmers, gay and lesbian and transgender folks, the americans with disabilities act, always adults. so, at least they can make some noise. they could march. but these are children. you will never read an op-ed by an underage foster kid. they are not going to march. they will not chain themselves to the railings. they do not have lobbyists. and so, why would it change? because in america, you have to make noise. you have to be loud. i think what has been missing here is loudness, and what i hope we can do is as we graduate kids using education to pivot them, they become self advocates and ambassadors for their victim class, and they go out, make a difference, we make noise, we make change. there are some specific things that we need to change, and we should change them. soledad: we will talk about specifics in just a moment. do you think most americans understand how bad it is? peter: no, i do not. i think it is human nature, first of all, when something is just intrinsically sad

anthony, the suffragette and all day today people were putting stickers on this susan b. anthony's grave. there is a chance that history could be made tonight and every time the numbers come up even though it's early they are excited about that. clinton herself isn't taking anything for granted. she said she did it with humility and she was humbled to be running two seats, one for victory and one for --. >> the susan b. anthony story is a great one and that scene today at her gravesite with people using those stickers was symbolic of what may be happening later on this evening. there's your big word map again and we want to show you, continue to show you because the key battleground states now that our reporting there are fascinating stories going on. in florida, look at this, it has tightened right up, less than one percentage point between the two candidates with around 80% of the vote counted so far. very close between clinton and trump. trump has to win in florida. that's what everybody says. if he's going to win on this night he is a star with a win in florida. he al

>> callout to the suffragettes who called for the original women's votes. such an historic day having a female candidate for a major party. we wanted to kind of recognize that. >> if she wins tonight, you told me you are in your 30s. you are millenials. what does that mean for you if off? >> it is just such an important event. i've will be so impressed if she wins and so happy. because of what i value. and, she really -- you know, epitomizes that and can speak well on that. just an incredible candidate. >> thank you guys so much for sharing a little bit. appreciate it. you know, lester the thing is, as i said, these counties really can be important in the way that pennsylvania goes. we're checking in with all the offices here in terms of the four counties. turn out does seem to be pretty high according to both the democrats that i talked to and the repca talked to. talking long lines. i just talked to the delaware county, chair of the democratic party who thinks they're going to be counting votes here for a long time. after the official poll closing. polls

suffragettes, people of color, brown versus board of education, the voting rights act, cesar chavez andorking farmers, gay and lesbian and transgender folks, the americans with disabilities act, always adults. so, at least they can make some noise. they could march. but these are children. you will never read an op-ed by an underage foster kid. they are not going to march. they will not chain themselves to the railings. they do not have lobbyists. and so, why would it change? because in america, you have to make noise. you have to be loud. i think what has been missing here is loudness, and what i hope we can do is as we graduate kids using education to pivot them, they become self advocates and ambassadors for their victim class, and they go out, make a difference, we make noise, we make change. there are some specific things that we need to change, and we should change them. soledad: we will talk about specifics in just a moment. do you think most americans understand how bad it is? peter: no, i do not. i think it is human nature, first of all, when something is just intrinsically sad

frederick douglas who is not just an ally of susan b anthony, when it came to voting and suffragettes supporting the women's right to vote but also a friend. anthony is buried right next to her sister. eddie glaude, your thoughts? eddie: write another there are not really any surprises. it is important to understand that north carolina has been ground zero for the conservative backlash. the koch brothers have been particularly, shall we say, "aggressive" and "militant" in north carolina. excellentint out the -- i want to point out the excellent work that the naacp has been doing in north carolina. we are seeing african-americans early voting across the south. it is at the same level as 2012 or higher. an 18%siana, you see increase. you have seen increases in georgia and florida. it is only in north carolina where you have seen an 8.6% decrease. it is everything to do with voter suppression and the limiting of the number of polling places, the specific attacks on voting rights. >> reverend barber will be joining us in about a five minutes from raleigh. eddie: nothing now is surprising.
