News Panel: Election Results and Analysis
Belva Davis will retire after this November 9 broadcast. Say farewell, share well wishes, and relive moments from her storied career.
What does President Obama's win say about the changing electorate, with an estimated 70 percent of the Latino vote helping to deliver key swing states? Does this election signal a tipping point in the influence of voters of color?

The regulation of food remains status quo, as both a statewide measure to require labeling of genetically modified foods and a soda tax in the city of Richmond were rejected by voters.
