1/ Which voters are worth watching this election? Here’s who our editors and writers have had their eyes on.
2/ The Democrats might need higher-than-ever Latino turnout to help Joe Biden secure a win, but many Latino communities struggling during the pandemic felt overlooked by the former vice president’s campaign, @realcpaz wrote in September. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
3/ And in their efforts to win over Latinos, @realcpaz writes, many liberals have overlooked the key reasons Donald Trump might appeal to the demographic. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
4/ Trump, meanwhile, has placed his chances in the hands of rural white voters, even as portions of that base have since recoiled, @RussellBerman reports. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
5/ The Catholic vote could be a close call—including in Pennsylvania, @emmaogreen reports. Joe Biden’s wholesome presentation is cultivated to appeal to his childhood neighbors, a Catholic voting bloc in a state that could determine the election.

6/ The Biden campaign’s final days were also spent making a final pitch to Black men. “Although Black women have often been called ‘the backbone of the Democratic Party,’ Black men have not been reliably Democratic in such large numbers,” @adamhsays writes.theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

1/11 As Election Night approaches, our writers and editors have advice for how to watch the returns (and stay as calm as possible while you do it).
2/11 When will we know who won? How should you use Twitter and cable news? @NickBaumann and our Politics team have a game plan for figuring out what exactly is happening tonight:

We asked some of our editors which stories you should make sure to read before Election Day. Here are their top picks:

1. President Trump may win or lose, but he will never concede, Barton Gellman writes. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
2. Trump may wage a war of disinformation if election results don’t go his way, McKay Coppins warns—and the “Army for Trump” is gearing up to help by camping out at polling locations. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
3. “Despite ample warning, the U.S. squandered every possible opportunity to control the coronavirus.” Ed Yong explains how the world’s most powerful country was brought to its knees.

1/ The 2020 election is close enough that you can feel its dragon breath on your neck. If you’re looking for an escape from unstructured doom-scrolling, we compiled six suggestions for how to kill time productively in our daily newsletter. theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
2/ Adjust your expectations.

We may not know who the president is on Election Night. @bartongellman explained the myriad ways this election could break down, particularly if it’s close, in our November cover story: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
3/ Consider limiting your news consumption.

As @LoriGottlieb1 wrote in March: “Bingeing on up-to-the-minute news is like stress eating—it’s bloating our minds with unhealthy food that will make us feel sick.” theatlantic.com/family/archive…

1/ The decisions of President Trump and his administration have transformed countless lives. We are telling the stories of seven individuals living with the consequences of his first term. theatlantic.com/projects/seven…
2/ After the Trump administration allowed states to attach work requirements to Medicaid, one grad student lost her coverage. Without prescriptions to manage her ADHD and asthma, she turned to cocaine and painkillers for relief, @MonicaBPotts reports. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
3/ Barbara Szalai wasn't worried about moving upriver from a coal plant. Decades later, she says, “If I had my way, I would have left.” @prosaaquino reports: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

1/ Today The Atlantic is endorsing Joe Biden for president.

Our case is simple: “Two men are running for president. One is a terrible man; the other is a decent man. Vote for the decent man.” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2/ In 1860, The Atlantic endorsed Abraham Lincoln. In 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson. And in 2016, at another turning point in history, we endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
3/ What we have learned since we endorsed Clinton is that we understated our case against Trump. He is the worst president this country has seen since Andrew Johnson, or perhaps James Buchanan, or perhaps ever.

1/4 “White Noise,” The Atlantic’s first feature documentary, is the definitive inside story of the alt-right, following Richard Spencer, Lauren Southern, and Mike Cernovich as they ride a wave of racist ideas to viral fame.

The film is out now. theatlantic.com/white-noise-mo…
2/4 To make the film, the director @DanielLombroso spent four years reporting on the alt-right. “I wanted to understand: What made white-power ideology so intoxicating, especially among my generation?” he wrote in June. on.theatln.tc/eX66m5i
3/4 Lombroso also explored those ideas in a profile of Lauren Southern, who had been one of YouTube’s most effective extremists—an alt-right propagandist masqueraded as a run-of-the-mill influencer—before she disappeared from the community. on.theatln.tc/CbPLO39
