Election Recap With Damon Cann On Wednesday's Access Utah

KSL TV

The midterm elections are (mostly) in the books. The Democrats took control of the U.S. House of Representatives and made some inroads in governorships and state legislatures. The Republicans expanded their majority in the U.S. Senate. In Utah, Mitt Romney became Senator-elect, the race for the 4th Congressional District is too close to call. Several of the Propositions on the ballot appear headed for passage. And turnout was extremely high. We recap the elections and look ahead with Damon Cann, USU Professor of Political Science.

Continue the conversation by emailing upraccess@gmail.com. What issue was top-of-mind as you voted? What race were you focused on? Is the country better or worse off for what happened last night? And what are your predictions for the future?
