The opening hour kicks off live on Election Day morning as polls open across Missouri and Illinois. The hosts compare early voting accessibility between St. Louis County and St. Charles County, discussing the impact of incoming afternoon rain on voter lines and breaking down key recommendations from the station's Missouri voter guide regarding judicial retention and constitutional amendments. The "Marc Cox Shortlist" covers closing national midterm campaign messages, highlighting audio from Donald Trump, Sonny Hostin, and Dan Bongino on the critical six-year stakes of holding the U.S. Senate. On "Kim on a Whim," the show reviews contentious courtroom drama in the Lindsay Clancy murder case, where defense attorney Kevin Reddington clashed with the judge over naming a holdout juror following a mistrial. The hour concludes examining an international cyberattack that sabotaged refrigeration units across hundreds of European supermarkets, connecting the infrastructure breach to smart-device grid vulnerabilities while taking real-time listener line reports from local precincts.
