Jewish voters could determine the outcome in several battleground states. They also present a case study in the challenges of reporting on a minority: Which issues really matter to them, who speaks for the community, is polling accurate, and what assumptions about how Jews vote are obsolete? The same questions apply to other minorities: Do African-Americans vote as bloc? Is there an LGBTQ vote? Can anyone forecast how Asian-Americans will vote? Join us for to hear top journalists discuss covering the intersection of electoral and identity politics at a critical moment.
