Voters line up at the Franklin County Board of Elections on Morse Road to vote early for the Aug. 8, 2023 special election.

Here we are, our last episode before Election Day. And we don't know what the hell is going to happen. If the polls are to be believed, the candidates for President are tied nationally, and in the seven swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their last pitches to voters.

Joining the show this week is Anna Staver, host of WOSU's "All Sides with Anna Staver."

Snollygoster of the week

As the Washington Post and LA Times decided at the last minute not to make an endorsement in the race for president, one news organization stood tall: The Onion, the satirical newspaper, which reported on the sinking of the Titanic with the headline "WORLD'S LARGEST METAPHOR HITS ICEBERG."

The Onion has endorsed Joe Biden for President.

The Onion writes:

"Joe Biden may be young by Washington standards, but he's packed a lot into 81 short years. He's fought hard for working Americans, be they on the factory line or on the board of Blackstone Group. He's stood up to everyone who threatened this great nation, from Vladimir Putin to Anita Hill. And he supports women and minorities, based on that seemingly random lady he chose to be his vice president."
