The election is finally over (or is it?). In this online session we explore what happened and what it means. We will review the results of the Presidential election through the electoral college votes and discuss both what is known and what is not yet known. We will look at the control of the US House and Senate and explore both the likely actions of the winning and losing Presidential candidate. This election has profound impacts for the future of our democracy and the American people are divided over which party best represents their interests. No matter who wins the election, our nation is at a crossroads.
