Election Day is upon us. Or, shall we say the last throes of democracy in America is near?

Nevertheless, Bay Area News Group political reporter Matthew Artz joins the podcast for a special Election Day in the East Bay preview.

We touch on the presidential election, California's U.S. Senate race and the suburban battle in the 16th Assembly District.

All bases are covered in the East Bay, from Fremont's mayoral race to Hayward's war among public officials, to the titanic tilt in the 17th Congressional District between Rep. Mike Honda and Ro Khanna. And who can forget Oakland's forgettable council races?

We also give our prediction, too!
