State of Affairs After the Election
The Presidential election is down to the wire and we still have no clear picture on who might take the seat. Meanwhile, there are a number of close local races and some propositions have yet to be decided. Nationally, we will look at the state's that are still tight, especially our neighbor Nevada, and how that might be resolved and the surprising way the Latino vote came down across the country.
