Tonight's episode of The Independents (Fox Business Network, 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT, with re-airs three hours later), being the last before the most important election ever about nothing, will start with a last-gasp Senate-numbers breakdown from Fox Business Network Washington Correspondent Rich Edson. Party Panelists Julie Roginsky (Fox News contributor, Democrat) and Ellison Barber (Washington Free Beacon writer, non-Democrat) will assess each side's level of desperation, assign sexism points to Tom Harkin's Taylor Swift-boating of Joni Ernst, and bask in the glory of Rock-the-Voters who don't vote.

Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist will make his case that libertarians should vote Republican if the election is close. Longtime right-of-center journalist and commentator John Fund will make the case that if the election is close, Democrats may well cheat. The co-hosts will provide a scorecard to a whole host of late-breaking campaign comments about race. And if all that's not enough to get you reaching for the Hydrocodon, the show will end with a discussion of Brittany Maynard's suicide.

Online-only aftershow begins at foxbusiness.com/independents just after 10. Follow The Independents on Facebook at facebook.com/IndependentsFBN, follow on Twitter @ independentsFBN, and click on this page for more video of past segments.
