Backroad Ballots: Election 2024 by the Numbers
Manage episode 451167204 series 3582539
The Associated Press called the presidential election in favor of former president Donald Trump at 5:34 am on November 6th, the morning after Election Day. But even before that, political pundits and TV reporters had plenty to say about rural voters and their role in re-electing Trump.
Now that the numbers are in, host Olivia Weeks examines these assertions in the latest episode of Backroad Ballots, and takes a closer look at what happened on November 5th.
In this bonus episode, Weeks talks with Tim Marema, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Yonder, and Sarah Melotte, the Daily Yonder’s data correspondent. Their conversation focuses on high-level election results and the rural voter’s role in deciding the outcomes of the presidential race and state-wide ballot measures.
