The Diane Rehm Show (10a.m. - Noon):
        Hour One: Electoral College: This year's presidential
election is said to be the closest in 40 years -- so close that some
political prognosticators are raising the scenario that one candidate
could win the popular vote, while the other could win the electoral
college vote and the presidency. Diane and her guests explain how the
electoral college system works, and talk about how the tight race is
making voter turnout efforts more important than ever for the
political parties.
        Hour Two: Frank Rich: New York Times columnist and former
drama critic Frank Rich grew up in Washington in the 1950's and '60's
-- a time when the nation's capital still felt like a small town, and
when few families had to face the effects of divorce. In his new
memoir, Frank Rich talks about his own troubled family, and about how
he found a second home in the world of theater. His new memoir is
called "Ghost Light"

Fresh Air (Noon - 1p.m.):
        A discussion about the pros and cons of the electoral college
system. A talk with Curtis Gans, an expert on voter turnout and
participation, and the director of the Committee for the Study of the
American Electorate, a non-partisan group which analyzes the habits
of voters. Gans supports the electoral process. And, Akhil Amar is
Southmayd Chair of Consitutional Law at Yale Law School. He would
like to see the electoral college system abolished.

Public Interest (1p.m. - 2p.m.):
        It's the first Tuesday of the month and that means the
computer guys are back to solve your computer operating and hardware
problems.  "PC-Guy" John Gilroy and "Mac Guy" Tom Piwowar fill us in
on the latest developments in the world of computers and answer all
your questions.

Talk of the Nation (1p.m. - 3p.m.):
        Hour One: Today is election day and Americans across the
country are casting their votes. Join guest host Neal Conan as we ask
YOU, the audience to report from your area of the country. We want
you to interview your family, friends and colleagues about who people
are voting for and why.
        Hour Two: Since its founding, the United States has been a
democracy. But for most of American history, large segments of the
adult population were not allowed to vote. It took many years for
women, African-americans, immigrants and industrial workers to gain
the vote, and after gaining it some lost it again. Join guest host
Neal Conan for a discussion of how Americans decided who has the
right to vote and the road to universal suffrage.
