We're ready for Election Day
The presidential election is just a few days away.
Perhaps you've already voted. Maybe you're undecided. Paste BN has been present for every moment of the campaigns, reporting from debates, rallies and meetings of voters on their own doorstep. Now it's time to make your decision, and team Paste BN is ready and waiting to cover every aspect of this historic moment.
👋 Nicole Fallert here and welcome to Your Week, our newsletter exclusively for Paste BN subscribers (that's you!). This week, we break down how Paste BN will follow Election Day (including Paste BN's all-in-one voter hub) so you're ready for Tuesday.
Here are a few more headlines I've read this week from Paste BN:
- Living paycheck to paycheck is more common, even when the paycheck is higher.
- North Carolina farmers were hit hard by historic Helene flooding.
- NFL owners can also be political megadonors. The group has collectively given millions to Harris and Trump.
- Day of Dead remembers migrants who died trying to make it to U.S.
We'll be up all night
Celebration. Devastation. Impatience. Confusion. However you feel on election night, Paste BN will be there.
Whether it's a Kamala Harris or Donald Trump watch party, potentially violent protests, or gatherings of Americans at their favorite bar to see the results come in, Paste BN plans to cover every angle of Election Day.
The goal? Write about what this moment means for people across the country in their real lives, from teachers planning special election activities for students to election workers who have trained for months to count votes and help guide voters like you through the polls (Remember when we chatted with Paste BN's Sarah Wire a few weeks ago? Check out her new piece following a day in the life of election workers across the country).
When you wake on up Tuesday, have your coffee. Breathe. Then check out Paste BN's all-inclusive voter guide to make sure you're in the know on down-ballot races, presidential candidate policy stances and prepare your voting plan. (Here are all your important questions about how to vote, answered. Lea este artículo en Español).

Our Editor-in-Chief Caren Bohan has ordered extra pizza to keep our energy up on Tuesday night as we make sense of this neck-and-neck race (follow our live blog and stay up with us!). This means publishing the latest images of the day to Paste BN's Instagram, our audio experts prepping our next-day podcast episode of "The Excerpt" for Wednesday morning and the *cool* TikTok folks editing explainers about trending moments (follow our TikTok gurus Chris Chang and Mya Vinnett!). If you've got political questions, don't be silent. Text our Elections team whenever you want for answers (Seriously! They will reply!).
The election effort will be shared across the newsroom. Our Wellness team is covering how crisis centers are gearing up for increased demand for mental health services. Paste BN's financial journalists will examine what the election means for Americans' wallets. And the celebrity writers are tracking if any famous faces show up on election day for their preferred candidates.
Our reporting suggests a resolution to the election won't come right away. When you don't have all the answers, Paste BN will find them so you don't have to. Our reporting has already explored what the post-election phase of American life could look like, including the chance of legal attempts to fight the election results and whether members of Congress will commit to certifying the end count. From our desk in the White House pressroom to the home offices of Paste BN's Network partners, these moments of ambiguity will be covered in real time so you can feel safe about what's to come.
Finally, if you need a palette cleanser on Tuesday, get creative with us!
