One of the topics being closely watched is the reaction of extremist groups to the election results. Reporters Joshua Kaplan, A.C.

They are interested in hearing from individuals who have been threatened or have information about efforts to incite violence related to the election.
In Missouri, reporter Jeremy Kohler is monitoring a voter-initiated constitutional amendment aimed at restoring abortion rights. This initiative is crucial in a state where abortion restrictions have been tightened in recent years. Kohler will be reporting on the outcome of this amendment and how anti-abortion activists are trying to influence public opinion.
Vianna Davila and Lexi Churchill are keeping a close watch on voter roll removals in Texas.
