Rise and shine fever dreamers. Look alive, my friends. I'm B. Spear. Sammy Stout with me today,

but she is always here in spirit. Today we are speaking to the incredible Simone Sanders Townsend.

And we're going to be talking all about the election and what you can expect and what you

cannot expect to see on

election night. It's a really great conversation that we're doing in partnership with our pals

at MSNBC. Make sure you tune in on election night to MSNBC and remember that we'll be

doing our live stream pizza party. You can watch both at the same time. You've got multiple

screams in your house. Here's our conversation with Simone.

First, how are you doing? You're doing okay today? Well, you know, technology. Some days it works.

Some days it doesn't. But I'm doing well. You know, we are barreling towards the end of voting and the beginning of election week.

I know, because a lot of folks are like, okay, V, on November 5th, what time are you going to tell me who the president is?

I'm like, baby, I don't know.

I think maybe like Saturday, Sunday.

What do you think?

What do you think the day will be like?

This is my prediction.

I don't think we'll know who the president is before midnight, before the clock strokes 12 for Wednesday morning at midnight. But that is the nature of our elections. And so I think people should prepare themselves that it is going to be close, that the vote stuff is going to change. You know, as people come in, the tallies are going to change

some days, you know, some hours, Donald Trump might be up in the state. And then Vice President

Harris might be up. And it's just the nature of how folks count the votes across this country.

We don't have a national voting system. There are many voting fiefdoms across the

country. And everybody has different rules and the polls closed at different times and different

places. And there's been record early in person voting across the country, which is amazing.
