that campaigns for equal representation in american politics. hello welcome to the programme. so here we are, election day 2022. post pandemic, postjanuary 6, the first real test of american democracy since that bitterly disputed election two years ago. the polls on the east coast start closing in two hours time. i hope you willjoin katty and i for our special programme through the night as we try and make sense of it all. these mid terms don t always attract the same attention as a presidential election, but early voting broke all records and it does feel more important. there are election deniers on the ballot, candidates refusing to say whether they will accept the results. this will set the stage for 202a. and if democrats lose control of the house or the senate tonight, joe bidens agenda will stall. in the end it will come down to turnout, it always does, and last night the two sides made their last appeal. today we face an inflection point, one of those moments that co
