The Nation Magazine on Election Day
Peter Rothberg | The Nation
After two years, $2.5 billion, hundreds of speeches and dozens of debates, the most historic election campaign in modern American history is finally drawing to a close.
Check out The Nation.com all day and night for breaking news and analysis of the presidential election as well as extensive reporting from the field on critical Congressional races and ballot measures.
Listen to our predictions on a new RadioNation podcast. Christopher Hayes and Leslie Savan sound off on the Presidential race; John Nichols previews the Senate, the Congress, and the impact of third parties; Andrew Gumbel assesses the threat of widespread vote suppression; and Ari Melber and Ludovic Blain ask if today's results will signal the last stand for racist campaign politics. Listen now.
Watch a special election episode of Flanders' GritTV today from 12:00 to 2:00pm for live reports from Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado and Pennsylvania and interviews with Phil Donahue, Jane Hamsher, Chris Raab, Mark Green and The Nation's Victor Navasky, Richard Kim and Katha Pollitt. The live stream starts at noon.
