Election day: A Very Special Episode

King County Executive Dow Constantine and Elections Director Julie Wise 11.3

Before 11am, King County had already processed its millionth ballot of the 2020 election. County elections director Julie Wise has, as you might imagine, a lot on her plate. But she made time for The Record, joining King County Executive Dow Constantine for his regular Tuesday chat. (Neither of them are on the ballot this year.)

Casey Martin on election night in the streets

You might be planning to go to a protest tonight. That could mean a lot of things – you could be a socialist or a member of antifa, or you could be a cop. KUOW’s Casey Martin spoke with Bill Radke about how a spectrum of people are preparing to take to the streets tonight.

To hear a bit more about what it’s like to be a first time voter, RadioActive alum Jadenne Radoc Cabahug spoke to the youth. Record producer Brandi Fullwood edited their voices into a story.
