Voters in Missouri wait in a long line. — Voters wait in the pre-dawn darkness at the Lenexa Baptist Church to cast their ballots in the 2020 general election.

At polling locations across the metro there were significant lines to start Election Day.

From Lawrence to Arrowhead Stadium and Platte City to Olathe, reporters and citizens offered accounts of what was happening at the polls.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
