Show Highlights:

-Unusual election this year.

-Trump is a true outsider not in the usual Republican mode.

-We are actually voting for the electors of the Electoral College. Sometimes they go rogue.

-Why did the founding fathers choose to establish an Electoral College?

-If Trump loses North Carolina or Florida, it’s over for him.

-Exit polling is not an exact science. Can’t control the sampling.

-Furthest west state still up for grabs is Nevada.

-Voting results are legitimate, but have had historical exceptions.

-There’s more that unites us than divides us, but politics is about division.

-5 states with ballot measures to legalize marijuana.

-House likely to stay in Republican control. Senate is on edge.

-Usually hard to get a third-term for a political party.

and more!!
