| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, it's Asma Khalid and before we start the show, I've got a request. |
| 0:04.4 | We are days away from a presidential election that was completely upended by the pandemic. |
| 0:10.0 | It changed how we reporters at NPR had to cover this election and it made our partnerships |

| 1:41.0 | pre-election electoral map analysis. It published online this morning at NPR.org. And it shows Biden |
