US 2020 Presidential Election
This week's talk is a playlist of TED talks on issues at stake in this year's election. This playlist will give you relevant information on why today's election is so important to the US, and what issues are influencing US voters. You can find the playlist here. If you are interested in staying up late to watch the election results, BBC will have live results online. On television it will be broadcast on BBC One, BBC News, and BBC iPlayer from 23:00 Tuesday night to 9:00 Wednesday morning. And if someone you know is in the United States and is voting today, be sure they visit vote.org so they are up to date and aware on where their polling place is, and any rules or restrictions specific to their state on casting their ballot.
