Well, ladies & gentlemen… the bewitching hour is close at hand. No, wait, that was last night. Tonight, we’re 1 WEEK from the most contentious Presidential Election in U.S. history. over 22,000,000 people have already voted (about 15% of the last turnout) and that number may hit 50 million before election day. One week from tonight, history will be made (one way or another), and we may know the results earlier than ever.
The race is as close as it’s been this season — and we may be headed for an Electoral/Popular vote split!
