Every Election Night, reporters across the U.S. stuff themselves with pizza to power through long nights waiting for the results to come in. WNIJ isn’t one to break tradition so our reporters and editors “carbo load” to make sure we have enough energy to bring you context and analysis before and after the polls close. We’ve moderated candidate forums, covered the issues, and talked with voters about what they want to see their elected leaders accomplish in office. Election coverage is no easy assignment, but we believe it is a crucial role in democracy.
