YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We're at the finish line that will most likely be moved several times before anyone reaches the finish. Today is election day in the United States. Traditionally, this is the final sprint at the end of that uniquely American marathon known as the race to win the White House. In 2020, tradition has been trounced by trepidation.

Boarded buildings, faces with masks, and toxic politics. That describes this election day in the United States. Across the country there are emergency plans in place in case unrest erupts. Our correspondents says the tension is palpable, inflamed by a president and vice president who have refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, should they lose this election.

Due to an unprecendented number of mail-in ballots that have yet to be counted we may not know have a winner until tomorrow or later this week. Patience is a virtue and a necessity. There is one aspect that is familiar: two men are vying for the presidency. Democrat Joe Biden is asking voters to give America a new chance. President Donald Trump is asking voters to give him another four years.
