Understanding State Election Predictions And Why Every Vote Counts

Kini News Lab's Election Simulation Calculator was launched today, allowing readers to project the results of the upcoming state election, based on data obtained from GE15. Chief among the findings were the closeness of some of the fights, and the importance therefore of voter turnout. So we're basing today's show on that, and exploring firstly, the calculator and some of the main stories that have emerged from it. And then later, we check in with Bersih about why every vote counts, and not to succumb to cynicism or apathy.
