The sharp wit and stinging analysis of the Back Room Deal podcast got us through the interminable election run-up. Now hosts Maya Dukmasova and Ben Joravsky are ready to take us to the finish line—well, this first one anyway—on election night.
The Back Room Deal livestream will begin at 5 PM, Tuesday, February 26 on the Reader’s Facebook page. Ben and Maya are eager to hear your tales of polling-place shenanigans as well as your election predictions and reactions to the returns.

- Submit your questions and discussion topics on Twitter using the hashtag #BackRoomDealLive or on our Facebook page
- E-mail us at backroomdeal@chicagoreader.com
- Catch up with all 15 episodes of the Back Room Deal podcast.
On election night:

Ben and Maya will also be playing the Reader’s new #Aldermania! board game—see the February 21 print edition or PDF for full details—and chatting with election officials and candidates as the night goes on.
