0:00.0 | There are a lot of live wires tonight. |
0:03.5 | Polls have just closed just now in Wisconsin, where a high-stakes Supreme Court election will decide the ideological split of that court that has implications for everything from abortion rights to voting rights to gerrymandering to potentially control of the United States House in Washington, |
