It's Over!! No matter the result - it's over Tuesday night – for the time being, and with the end of the interminable elction season comes relief - win, lose, or draw. TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL and LYNNELL MICKELSEN will bring to this hour the results, the cheering of wins, the weeping and gnashing of losses, and some analysis of who and what made the differences in the outcome of this historic exercise in democracy after what is likely the most rancorous raft of contests ever to hit the political stage. How well will we have seen the elections have been conducted? Will we have elected this nation's first African-American president? Will the state's first-term incumbent US senator be unseated by a comedian whose serious side surprised many? Will Minnesota help tip the Congressional balance more heavily to Democrats than once possible or expected? What about the State House? The School referenda? The Constitutional Amendment? The Judicial races? We'll have interviews from Election Night parties and reports from KFAI's field correspondents. GUESTS: • TOM O'CONNELL - Metro State Political Science Professor - and lifeline to several grassroots organizations who will give us their take on the results. • MIKE DEAN - Director of Common Cause Minnesota • MARK HALVORSON - Citizens for Election Integrity • JEANNE MASSEY - FairVote/Minnesota (Instant Runoff) • AHNDI FRIDELL - KFAI News Director • PAUL SCHMELZER - State Director/Managing Editor, Minnesota Independent • JIM LEINFELDER - Free-lance Media/News Producer
