RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Getting to the polls this election might be particularly hard for Kate Rubins.

But the crew scheduled to replace her has been delayed, meaning Kate is likely to have to cast an absentee ballot from space. Her voting address would be marked low Earth orbit.
