This hour, we bring you special coverage of Election Day in Vermont. We check in with town clerks in Addison and Windham Counties, and with a veteran poll worker in Landgrove. Plus, Deputy Secretary of State Chris Winters offers a snapshot of midday voter turnout across the state, and VPR's Liam Elder-Connors joins us with voices from the polls in Chittenden and Franklin Counties.Our guests are:
