Our family is planning to watch the election coverage together on Tuesday night. What do you recommend we watch? We’d like some good quality national coverage without getting bombarded by red politics. We don’t have cable TV, so are limited to streaming services.

    This just sounds stressful.

    Why not make batch of mulled wine, watch a film, wake up and check Reuters on Wednesday?

    The outcome won’t differ. What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?

      Mainly an excuse to stay up past our bedtimes.
