Colin McEnroe Show: Chopin's Piano Relaxes During Tense Elections
You would think that counting votes wouldn't be that hard. Here's one here. There's another one there. But whenever there's a recount, the numbers come out different at pretty much every site. And today, there are so many theories about vote totals in the Connecticut governor's race that we seem to have entered a world of quantum politics, in which a vote can be in several different states of being at the same time.
It makes us all a little anxious and it saps our confidence in the electoral process. It's not supposed to be this messy.
For the second straight days, we'll do our level best to explain it all to you, but then we're going to turn our attention to something more eternal, the music of Frederic Chopin, which seems to exist in no fixed plane or time.
You'll also meet a Hartford Symphony conductor candidate from Brazil. Votes and notes on today's show.
