How to Vote in the Tri-State Area; First Day of School Stories; President Trump Downplays COVID-19; Final Push for the Census - a podcast by WNYC

Coming up on today's show: 

Henal Patel, director of the Democracy and Justice program at the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice (NJISJ), Laura Smits, vice president of voter services for the League of Women Voters of Connecticut, and Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York, explain how to vote in the tri-state area and answer listeners' questions about voting and making sure your vote counts.






Many school districts in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut held their first day of classes this week whether remote or in-person. We take your calls on how it's going.






According to a new book by the veteran journalist Bob Woodward, President Trump intentionally downplayed the coronavirus threat in early 2020, despite knowing the risks. Jonathan Lemire, White House reporter for the Associated Press and political analyst for MSNBC/NBC News, talks about what this might mean for the president and his re-election chances.






Time is running out to fill out the census. New York State Secretary of State Rossana Rosado talks about how New York State's response rate is and what the state is doing to try to increase completion numbers.
