It's time for the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell.

Hey, Lawrence.

Hey, Jen.

It is a big winner night here at the last word.

And it's not one of Donald Trump's trade negotiators because they have won absolutely nothing yet.

In fact, they've lost every day.

It's that now, I guess, 200-day long contest about resolving that election for Supreme Court in North Carolina.

That is finally resolved by the federal court there.

Justice Allison Riggs was reelected.

The Democrat reelected over the Republican who has been fighting this and desperately trying to

throw out legitimately cast votes. Allison Riggs is going to join us tonight in the

winner's circle. That one has finally decided. Big win for the Democrats. Big one. And she's a great

guest. I mean, she's such a good story about someone who's had to battle through

absurdity to get to this point. I can't wait to see what she has to say. Yeah, and she's,

you know, she's had to just allow the process to play out in federal court. Now she's the

official winner and she's free to discuss it. She's going to do that tonight.

That's great. I mean, it's also a reminder of how important jobs like that are.

You wouldn't have heard of Allison Riggs necessarily had this not happened,

and now she's become sort of a model of what the other side's capable of, you know,

in terms of trying to prevent an elected person from taking office.

Yeah, and what was at stake in this fight over these election results and over the legitimacy of these votes

is a kind of fight we are surely going to see again mounted by Republicans in other places.
