Today is election day, a right to help frame our government locally and nationally. Take all those voter guides from the newspaper, TV and hosts and throw ‘em away. Part of your responsibility is to make your own decision when casting a ballot.
The best source for immediate results is right on your radio dial.
KPBS-FM will start extensive coverage of the events. “On Election Night, KPBS News will have live results and in-depth analysis of local, state and national races. Follow the action throughout the night at KPBS.org, and listen to KPBS FM 89.5 for updates and live reports from San Diego’s campaign headquarters.”
