Election Results Update; Trump Campaign Lawsuits; Ask the Mayor

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 6, 2020

Coming up on today's show: 

  • As the country awaits the final vote tallies in a few key states, we cover the national political news of the day with Nancy Cook, White House reporter for Politico.
  • The Trump campaign has filed a number of lawsuits since Election Day to stop the counting of votes or challenge counting procedures in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Nevada. Ari Berman, senior reporter at Mother Jones, covering voting rights and author of Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America, and legal analyst Jami Floyd, WNYC's senior editor for race and justice, break down the challenges, the claims of rampant voter fraud, and where we go from here.
  • New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC.

 Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
