Episode notes
Prioritize Maximizing Legitimate Votes
- Default to rules that maximize legitimate voters being able to cast ballots rather than restrictive fixes that exclude votes due to confusion.
- Chris Hayes urged intervening to let the most legitimate votes be counted regardless of partisan calculations.
Candidates Should Publicly Unite For Vote Counting
- Candidates in the same primary should publicly unite to demand all legitimate votes be counted to prevent partisan narratives of stolen results.
- Rachel Maddow and guests encouraged Crockett and Tallarico to speak together and present a unified front.
Precinct Snapshot Shows Hundreds Turned Away
- Rosa Flores reported at one Dallas precinct 495 people voted and over 400 were turned away earlier for going to wrong polling places.
- That precinct alone recorded 18 provisional ballots cast between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., whose counting remains uncertain.
