MS NBC's coverage of New York's special election continues with the last word with my friend

Lawrence O'Donnell. Good evening, Lawrence.

Good evening, Alex. I have to have my election glasses on tonight because I'm reading

texts from Democratic headquarters where they are

extremely confident to put it mildly and I've got to read all these election numbers on the

on the board and we've got to get to Steve Kornaki quickly. It looks like we may have a result in this hour, Alex.

Big exciting night.

I'll be watching all this.

Thanks Alex. Well, we're continuing our breaking news coverage of the special election for New York's

third congressional district polls closed just

exactly an hour ago in this highly competitive house race, at least it was thought to be

highly competitive, to replace the expelled former Republican Congressman George Santos, now

criminal defendant George Santos. The race is officially still too early to call

between Democrat Tom Swazi who previously served three terms in

that same congressional district as the congressman from that district and

Republican Massey Pillaip of a Nassau County legislator in an and Republican

and a Nassau County legislator,

and an Ethiopian immigrant who served in the Israeli defense forces.

It is a race that could shrink the Republican margin by one. There could be one more

Democrat in the House of Representatives tomorrow. The House of Representatives

this evening voted articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Myorkus by only one vote.

That's one of the indicators of how important this is.
