L.A.’s new voting system was finally put to the test, and things did not go too smoothly for some. Computer glitches led to voters waiting hours in line. KFI AM’s Mo’Kelly and Naomi Seligman, former director of communications for Mayor Eric Garcetti, discuss lessons learned from election day, how gender plays a role in the presidential race, and L.A. County DA Jackie Lacey’s husband’s run-in with a protester. Last but not least, a haiku about pizza at a voting center.

About that news haiku: each week on the podcast, Alex Cohen and producer Esther Lee turn a news story into 17-syllable poetry. Check out the latest haikus and help them decide who is the better poet.
