Election Day 41 Years ago. Today's image of the day shows Joe Sullivan (seated) and Tom Burke (standing) using PLATO terminals to record Hennepin County election returns at the Minneapolis Business & Tech Center, as local CBS TV affiliate WCCO films the action, 1982. #histsci #elections #history

One young man is standing and looking on. The foreground has a man working on the terminal with a black and white small CRT TV to his right on the table.
