Goofs, Bloopers & Continuity Errors

• When Cary and Kalinda are talking in the park in Chicago, a recycling bin in the background is labeled "New York City Public Recycling."
• When Wendy Scott-Carr meets with Glenn Childs about the family slander she says she wants a two-person race (which he says he wants also). This goes completely against the narrative supporting her viability, which is that in a three-person race both the white and the male votes are ostensibly split.
