Some local New York State elections courtesy of WNBC-TV in New York City, which is naturally the NYC NBC affiliate there. Followed by NBC News coverage of some governors races and one Senate race in Mississippi. A short video with only about a minute of it or so covering national politics on any kind. So not much to go on for me at least just shy of third birthday in November, 1978 and obviously no personal memory of this night. But this is interesting in the sense that give you a little idea anyway of how politics was covered in America back then.
