    How Does The Associated Press Call An Election?

    How do some media organizations call an election before it's officially decided? Some have their own election analysts. Others, including NPR, rely on reporting from the Associated Press for breaking news from all around the country. Especially on election night. As the votes roll in, the AP is regarded as the definitive source for when a state gets called in favor of one candidate or the other. It's how we find out who our next president is going to be. How exactly does the process work? Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions? Connect with us.

    The Rise Of Major Food Recalls

    Delicatessen supplier Boar's Head is shutting down its Virginia plant indefinitely after being linked to a listeria outbreak which killed nine people and hospitalized 57. Some 7 million pounds of meat has been recalled. Two years before the outbreak, the USDA submitted reports indicating the Virginia plant posed an imminent threat to food safety. That report cited mold, rust, and insects, among other concerns. The deadly listeria outbreak comes amid a rise in food recalls. According to Public Interest Research Group, 2023 saw their highest number since before the pandemic. Just last week, warnings were sent out for apple juice, eggs, cantaloupes, and cinnamon. We discuss the increase in food recalls and what consumers can do to protect themselves and their loved ones. Want to support 1A?

Voters in multiple states will decide on non-citizen voting bans, electoral processes, and the minimum wage.

    The Local Impact Of Uncontested Elections

    You've likely heard the saying "all politics is local." But here's the hitch. For many local offices, there's often just one candidate running in a race. Sometimes, nobody's running at all. In 2022, 67 percent of races went uncontested. That's according to the nonpartisan research organization BallotReady. That not only leaves voters with a lack of choice, but also raises questions about how and where we choose to live and who influences local policies. We discuss uncontested races and why they matter.
