This week on Matter of Fact, are both major parties missing the largest minority voting group? Antonio Arellano is the Interim Director of JOLT, the largest civic engagement effort in Texas. Soledad O’Brien asks him why he believes his generation of Latinos could make a big difference in November. Then, some states are passing laws to restrict protesters as demonstrators take to the streets calling for an end to racial injustice and police brutality. Soledad speaks with Tennessee State Rep. Jason Hodges about why he voted against a bill that could lead to felonies for protesters. Plus, Correspondent Jessica Gomez goes to Lincoln, Nebraska to see how the COVID-19 pandemic is feeding the hunger crisis around the world. And, we look at how election officials are preparing for a flood of mail-in ballots ahead of the November election.
