Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.
That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.
And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
