MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5
PROGRAM # 8464 11:00 AM PT
Election Eve. Hour 1.
In the final countdown to the opening of the polls, top analysts join this expanded edition to give an overview on key battlegrounds in this midterm election, including House, Senate and state races. They comment on the congressional races in battleground districts in Central California, and the fight for a historic Latino county district in conservative Kern. Analysts comment on the surge of anti-immigrant attacks in the days leading to the election and the unprecedented number of immigrants in Florida who are canvassing and urging citizens to go out and vote. They also examine key ballot measures to watch in some states, like one that would make Washington the first state to charge a carbon tax and another one by the soda industry to ban local taxes on sodas. What are the stakes for Latinos? Are there any signs of a Latino wave? They also examine the meaning behind the record-breaking numbers of early voters in crucial states.
