Chris Hayes: “Republicans are doing everything they can to make sure it works next time.”

Democrats hold a small advantage over Republicans in FiveThirtyEight’s polling average.

This comes on the heels of the Democratic victory in New York`s 19 last week. A Democrat had flip the seat that had been Republican-controlled for almost 50 years tonight in a red state special election.

A Democrat is going to represent that state for the first time in the state`s history.

I think it`s pretty important that if these charges are true, that Tina Peters is held to account as a deterrent, if nothing else, a warning to any other election officials.
