How can Hypable write about the United States’ Election Day? By telling you what the candidates’ favorite aspects of pop culture are!
First, we must urge you: If you’re a registered voter in the United States, please go vote today! Not sure where your voting place is? Visit this page on Google to find out.
We suspect that like us, you’ll be glued to the television all day to watch the results come in. The first exit poll results will begin to be revealed at 7 p.m. ET for several eastern seaboard states. These exit polls give us a glimpse into how people voted and potentially allow networks to make calls on individual states. One of the candidates must receive 270 out of the 538 electoral votes in order to win the Presidency. You can use this interactive CNN electoral map to help you calculate who will get to 270.
Here now are the pop culture interests of the individual candidates and their favorite television shows, movies, music, performers, and books!
