Yes and yes.

yes and yes. How could a citizen not?

Yes and yes.

Yes and yes, while texting with my friends and checking Twitter.

No.

No.

Yes. I look forward to the debates. Yes I always follow election results.

Most likely will follow things online and read transcripts. I don't do TV very well and I don't listen to the talking heads on either side.

Yes (if any debates actually take place) and yes.

No and no. I shall know what is happening and be up to date on it all, because the news will interrupt any tv program I try to watch at least five times each half hour.

I've always watched the debates and both conventions and don't see why it would be any different this year.

In the back of my mind is a recollection of having heard someone say that Biden should insist that the last 10 or 15 minutes of debates be directed to the candidates responding to fact checking. In other words, check your lies at the door, you won't get away with them. Something that the incumbent tries to do every day.

If that happens, I'll watch. Otherwise, no.

Results - I'm pretty confident about the outcome. I'm not expecting any surprises.

VP debate - Yes

Results - Yes

Yes, yes

Yes for debates.

No for results.

No, Yes.

Yes for debates.

Yes for results....until they say it's over...and we'd rather sleep, like last time....☺

Yes, but I will be cringing the entire time. Don’t think either will come off looking good, and it will not be informative on their policies, just cringe-worthy.

Yes, I will tune in from time to time, but no, I will not be glued to the reports.

Yes on the debates (mostly). Yes to some of the returns, but I can’t sit through the whole thing.

No and No!

VP debates

Yes and yes for sure

The debates - perhaps. We hear so much politics in this house that I am not sure.

Election night - absolutely! Election day is my favorite day in the American calendar. To me it's always exciting, even if my gal/guy loses. We will have pasta and chianti, rather early.

Debates - Absolutely

Results - Yes

Probably and maybe.

Yes to debates. Yes to election results if I can stay awake. I go to bed early and hard for me to stay awake very late.

I doubt we will watch the debates live, but will certainly watch and read all reports about them -- and go back to check clips if necessary, to judge for ourselves. (We probably would watch if there was live fact-checking.)

We always watch election results, but unless this is over-and-done early on, it could take a long time to call it -- especially if Trump's postmaster manages to subvert the mail service.

yes and yes

NO & NO

I'll watch both but I would be happier if the candidates seats had attachments on them and they get buzzed if - they stray from the topic, interrupt, go over the allotted time, pontificate or prevaricate. Just wishful thinking on my part.

The VP debates -- absolutely, although I'll admit I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to blood sports.

Yes and yes

Yes and yes, but I've read that obtaining election results might drag out for days, which is disappointing.

Yes to all! Kind of a political junkie here.

Yes and yes.

As far as fact-checking goes, I believe that job belongs to the viewer.

"As far as fact-checking goes, I believe that job belongs to the viewer."

That doesn't work. One of the candidates is prone to daily lies and untruths that a segment of the population accept without considering how outrageous and blatantly false the statements are. I hope you're not in this group.

Having a fact checker as part of the process would restrict comments to truthful ones and unearth the bald lies. And allow viewers more insights as to what each candidate has truthfully done and truthfully advocates.

I think that improves the process. Don't you? If they can say anything under the sun without being accountable for being truthful, there's no reason to televise the debates. This has never been needed before but I think it is now.

I remember one election night when I was hurrying home to hear the results and it was 8:05 and the radio was interrupted and called the winner. I also remember 2000 when I was glued to the TV for over a month and saw the most scandalous election in our history when the SC stopped the counting. I still haven't gotten over this and I suspect this year might be the same.

Yes

Yes

Being that I cannot stand the sound of trump's voice, I probably won't watch the debates, but will read about them. Not sure about any VP debates. As for election night, you betcha I will be watching. However, with all the shenanigans going on from one side, I'm not sure a winner will be called for some time.

No and probably not.

Lily, with any luck it won't even be close!

Yes and yes.

It shouldn't be close, or take days/weeks to know the result, but with the absolute theft of the election the current administration is attempting, who knows what election night will be like.

But Yes and Yes.

Debates- no, I never watch them and find no useful information gleened from them

Election results- yes, absolutely. Every time, every election.

Yes and Yes!

I will likely watch the debates.

Fact checkers in real time don't work.

Candy Crowley, CNN moderator of the debate between Romney and Obama, interjected when Romney referred to words Obama used, and wrongfully "corrected" Romney when Romney was correct.

Candy Crowley was covering for Obama in front of the world as a "fact checker" interjecting her lie and shut down Romney.

Shame on Romney for a lot of things, but for smiling and allowing those two to mislead the public.

We can do our own research and watch the debates without the media covering for anyone.

No and yes. The debates are of little value to me.

Elmer, I agree with you. How about "fact checkers" for the moderators/reporters as well. :-))))

Yes 😊

As far as election results, I think it's going to be different this year, because results will likely not be decided on election night.

I took 3 vacation days and I'm getting a pizza.

Yes and yes

Samkaren, is that now, or are you planning three days away at election time? Not the worst idea, I think, to vote early and then get away from the last minute hype and hysteria.
