Video: Election night: Were more people watching election results or the Bulls game?

Were more people watching the Bulls game or election coverage on election night?

The 2012 Presidential Election resulted in a narrow win for President Barack Obama. The atmosphere around DePaul on this night was that of excitement, but some serious questions arose as the results rolled in. With the Chicago Bulls playing that night, many local establishments had equal numbers of TVs on the election and the game.

Were more people interested in a basketball game or the future of our country? Also, many experts called the election when not all votes had been accounted for. Obama was the clear winner, but did the media appoint him the winner too soon?

Reporters Samantha Jacobs, Michael Oxenrider and Odalis Suarez aim to answer these questions.
