Host Frank Stasio talks with WUNC Greensboro reporter Naomi Prioleau and WUNC military reporterJay Priceabout what’s happening at voting sites in Alamance and Wake counties. While voters may be anxious to know results, it will likely take longer for a final tally this year because of the coronavirus pandemic and a higher number of mail-in ballots.

WUNC will be providing up-to-date coverage on air and online from reporters on the ground.

While pursuing her bachelor’s in environmental studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, she got talked back into it. Kaia received a master’s degree from the UNC Hussman School of Journalism, where she focused on reporting and science communication. She has published stories with Our State Magazine, Indy Week, and HuffPost. She most recently worked as the manager for a podcast on environmental sustainability and higher education.
