He's gotten here an hour early, concerned that long lines would have greeted him had he come later. Mayer's class has been following the election closely, analyzing campaign ads for their emotional and factual messages and reviewing notable past elections including the 2000 race that put Florida at the center of a political storm for 37 days.
