Welcome back to Unbiased, your favorite source of unbiased news and legal analysis.

Welcome back to Unbiased. Today is Monday, November 4th. We are one day away from Election Day,

0:11.9

and this is your daily news rundown. So in today's episode, we will only be spending a little

0:16.8

bit of time on the news. We're really only doing Quick Hitters today. I will do the critical

0:20.4

thinking segment, but the bulk of this episode will be an election night Q&A,

0:25.3

and I'm basically answering your most frequently asked questions when it comes to what we can

expect tomorrow night. So let's get into today's stories. The New York Times Tech Guild,

1:18.4

newspaper's digital operations, so there is a chance that the strike could affect the paper's

1:23.5

ability to cover the election results, but that is certainly not for sure. We'll have to see if it does.

1:29.6

And as of yesterday, more than 75 million Americans had already voted. That is more than 48% of the

1:36.9

total number of people that voted in 2020. In Georgia, more than 4 million people have already

1:42.6

voted, which is 80% of the state's total

1:45.9
