About the Broadcast:
KPFA/Pacifica will bring you up-to-the minute voting results, speeches from winners and losers, and analysis of who's voting, why, and what it all portends for November. Veteran Pacifica broadcaster and Polk Award winner Larry Bensky will co-anchor from the studios of KPFA along with KPFA host and producer Aimee Allison. Additional contributions from Hard Knock Radio's Davey D.
Each county's election department also has election results as there are also lots of propositions on the local ballots. Just do a search for whatever county you want, then go to their election department or registrar of voters. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALL PRIMARIES ARE BEAUTY CONTESTS; the candidates are decided at the various parties' conventions, usually held in the summer. And when it comes to the Democrat-Republicans, it makes absolutely no difference as to which one will be printed on the ballot in November; they all have exactly the same capitalist agenda.
Then there are the Workers' Struggles Around the World, which we should always hear about, some of which are at http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/feb2008/wkrs-f05.shtml
There are always environmental stories worth covering, such as:

and
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2008/feb2008/clim-f05.shtml
And there are the economics stories, highlighting the realities of the fact that this is a class society. See:

and

The broadcast ends when it should start, 10 p.m., when California election results are in so we can hopefully see the victory of Prop 92 and the defeat of all the other propositions on the California ballot.
But her election coverage that i heard never even mention the G.P. let alone Peace and Freedom .
So i seriously pose the question . If she still is then i hope she will at least in her programmer capacity give fair coverage to candidates like McKInney, Nader, and La Riva . (and if need be , fight the notoriously pro-Democratic party KPFA mgmt . for her right to do so )
