Finally, Election Day!; ‘Ghost bus’ fix; Musk case denied

Pennsylvania, and Philly specifically, remained the focus of this national presidential election, with both parties criss-crossing the state on the final day of the campaign season. It culminated around midnight in Philly, with Oprah Winfrey hugging Vice President Kamala Harris in front of a crowd of about 30,000 gathered before the Museum of Art. But not before Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and a long list of speakers implored the crowd, on site and watching on TV, to vote.

Billy Penn’s Celia Bernhardt was there, talking to folks in the crowd and getting the mood of the crowd, which was a mixture of excitement, weariness and anxiety.
