Episode Synopsis

THE PROBE   Season One In an effort to uncover where corruption in American politics starts, The Probe goes deep inside an average high school student body presidential election. Listen as hosts Lisa Burton and Mary Beth Smith meet the candidates and their families, speculate on their motives for running, and unmask all the nasty aspects of running for office at any level.   Episode 7 Election Day. The culmination of a long month of campaigning and a tireless amount of journalistic coverage ends with students all over the school casting their votes. The Probe team checks in with the candidates and themselves as we look back on the process and forward to the results. What does Thomas still have up his sleeve? Will Staci's election anxiety keep her from having any cogent thoughts? Was exploring a high school student body election actually a worthwhile endeavor? And, most importantly, who. will.
