Countdown to November 3
What to watch

electionline.org

Following the unprecedented 2020 election, many of us thought (hoped, prayed) we were done with unprecedented elections, but here we are. Again.

Another nationwide general election where things are both routine and anything but routine. 

There’s a lot to watch on Tuesday and we, of course, will be keeping an eye on everything, but these are some of the major issues that we’ll be tuned into. 

We’ll be posting our Election Dispatches throughout the day more or less around 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and 8pm. Depending on how things go we may add in another late morning and afternoon dispatch. 

Good luck to all the elections officials out there, may the odds be forever in your favor and may the gods of democracy have mercy on all of our souls!
