It's Election Day! Your Calls, Plus: A Presidential Forecast; Reports from NYC & NJ; and What To Expect Tonight

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 3, 2020

Coming up on today's show:

We'll take your calls throughout today's show, including some traditional informal, unofficial, thoroughly unscientific exit polls; we'll ask about any last minute voting decisions you have made, and how you plan to follow the returns this evening. Plus:

  • Henry Olsen, Washington Post columnist and a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, shares his predictions for how Election Day will go, and which candidates will prevail.
  • Brigid Bergin, WNYC City Hall and politics reporter, talks about how things are going with in-person Election Day voting in the city.
  • Karen Yi, WNYC reporter covering New Jersey, reports from the field in New Jersey, including Union County, where she is observing ballot counting.
  • Jim Newell, senior political writer for Slate, offers the latest news on races, polls, voter intimidation and more. 

 Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
