Listen, I’m not sure what’s going to happen in this election, and that’s exactly the way I prefer it. I have always loved the mix of political science, preference and mystery that is election night.

I remember as a kid watching the returns and listening thru the crackle of the radio for not only who won the biggest races, but also who won the local contests.

Yes, even this year among the never-ending barrage of campaign ads and personal attacks, I still hold election night close to my heart. It’s one of the reasons we started an election night livestream on KSAT 8 years ago.

That first stream was in a KSAT conference room, no graphics, no guest list, just people who showed up to talk about the returns and what they were seeing and hearing out on the street.

This year we have a much larger guest list and fancy graphics and the ability to go live to our reporters in the field at a moments notice, but the goal is still the same, to show returns and get the pulse of what is happening in the country, the state and right down the street.

It’s appropriate that my co-anchor Isis Romero, who helped me start this project, and I will start off our election week livestreams with Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff. Wolff was one of our first guests in 2008, and has come back every time we’ve had a livestream.

We have been told that watch parties, nervous candidates and even bars put the KSAT livestream on their big screens on election night, and that’s great, but every time there’s also still that kid inside me that marvels at the majesty of democracy in action.

I joke it’s like it’s an election Wayne’s World or a Political Lollapalooza for my inner child, and just know there will be a big part of me geeking out this week, and wondering along with you, “Who will win?, Will we know on Tuesday, Just how late I will be staying up?” It’s a process played out live and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
