Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien

Air date: Nov 14, 2020

This weekend on Matter of Fact, we look at one state’s fight over electoral college votes. Nebraska divides its electoral votes depending who congressional districts support. Republicans want to make the contest winner-take-all, but progressive state Senator Ernie Chambers is standing in their way. Then, 2020 proved pollsters wrong again when the blue wave they forecast failed to make a splash. Communication Professor W. Joseph Campbell explains why he calls those polling problems a failure of journalism. And, several battleground states flipped from red to blue this election and the race in GA is still too close to call. That’s due in part to Black women showing up at the polls in force. Special Correspondent Joie Chen shows us their political power in Detroit.
