The Associated Press, along with other news organizations, is gearing up for the U.S. election next week with a focus on transparency and explanation of the vote-counting process. With a tradition dating back to 1848, the AP will have thousands of individuals on hand to count votes and declare winners and losers.
Recognizing the importance of clarity in a climate of political misinformation and media distrust, the AP has already published explanatory stories and will have a team of reporters dedicated to explaining why key states are being called for presidential candidates Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
