Why We Vote Ep. 194: Midterm Election Night, Westchester Glitches & Ninth Circuit Win

It's midterm election night, and Ashe in America and CannCon open by wishing everyone a Merry Glitchmas before CannCon starts making the Badlands decision desk calls as results roll in from Illinois, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Kentucky. Ashe shares her own trip to her Colorado precinct, and the hosts track the first flips of the night as networks call races with almost no votes counted. The pair dig into the Westchester County scanner failure and why a computer glitch and the wrong paper are not the same thing, then Ashe explains Colorado's logic and accuracy tests and how they compare with risk-limiting audits. Along the way they cover Guam flipping red, prediction markets versus polls, the Ninth Circuit's 6-5 win for the Trump administration, voting problems from Chicago to Broward County, the Venezuela software claims tied to General Flynn and Martin Rodil, and what the Stolen Elections book gets wrong about Mesa County, before asking whether a late red wave is coming.
