0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it.
0:05.2	Well, here we are. It's Election Day. I feel like that meme of the lady from Titanic,
0:09.7	it's been 84 years. After this incredibly trying election season, we are finally here.
0:15.8	We know this is a big day and you have a ton on your plate. So we're just going to do an abridged
0:19.4	episode to tell you what to look out for and expect today and in the days and weeks to come.
0:34.8	All right, let's get into it, Election Day episode.
0:40.0	Now, if you haven't already voted, for goodness sakes, get out and do it.
0:46.3	But if you have, make sure you are helping other people do the same by reminding them, driving them, or encouraging them to vote.
0:56.2	We need everyone to make their voice heard in this election because we really need to bring these last 10 years, the destructive Trump years, to a close. And with everyone's help, that is exactly what we're going to do. Now, it is unlikely we will know who won the election

1:17.6	possibility, and this is one that very few people have discussed, because honestly I think we all have
1:22.0	PTSD from the 2000 election and the 2016 and the 2020 election that we don't want to get our hopes up or count on
1:28.6	anything. But it is possible, especially considering that most recent poll in Iowa, that Kamala Harris
1:34.7	just wins this thing outright, that the majority of American voters just give Donald Trump the
1:39.5	Heism. And it doesn't matter how much of a tantrum he and his MAGA supporters and their enablers have,
1:45.2	they simply won't be able to sell the idea that they won because it will be such a blowout.
1:50.9	Now, if the world were just in fair, or we elected our president by popular vote,
1:55.3	or we didn't have endless right-wing media lying to half the population, that would be the outcome.
