Mehdi asks @LinaHidalgoTX if she agrees with those who say that Texas is "not a red state, it's a voter suppression state." Yes, she says: "A lot of folks have spent a lot of time and money trying to create barriers to voting."

Judge Lina Hidalgo joins us tonight to discuss the ruling at 7 PM ET >>>
NEW: US District Court rejects the plaintiffs’ challenges to drive-thru voting and, frankly, to democracy. Drive-thru voting is safe, secure, and legal. It's beyond comprehension that anyone would seek to invalidate 127,000 votes. We fully expect an appeal. Please vote tomorrow.

Mehdi: "Are the Democrats... playing a smarter, savvier game now in Michigan than they did in 2016?"

.@karaforcongress is running against incumbent Republican Donald J. Bacon for Nebraska's 2nd District congressional seat.
Wait a minute, "Is he really Donald J. Bacon," Mehdi asks, "or was that just a rhetorical flourish?"
"No," she replies "that is actually his name." WHAT.

Minnesota Atty. Gen. @KeithEllison vows to fight for mask requirements at the polls on Tuesday: "We are gonna stand up for the health and safety of Minnesotans. Period. Full stop. Anybody who's an anti-masker is a person fighting for the right to spread a deadly disease."

"Who says Democrats don't have enough fire in their bellies? Well, me. I say that all the time. But here's Democratic Senate challenger Jon Ossoff in Georgia last night, showing how it can be done." -- @mehdirhasan lays down a gauntlet for 2021.

“Nevada, of course, is home to Area 51,” Mehdi says to @SenatorReid. “Are we alone in the universe?” The Nevada native doesn’t answer directly, but he concedes: “We've learned that there are lots of occurrences of unidentified flying phenomena, and we don't know what they are.”
