Back to eventsRed, Striped, or Blue?: Examining the 2024 Elections with Polling and Election Experts
Joe Lenski, Executive Vice President will present in the panel “Red, Striped, or Blue?: Examining the 2024 Elections with Polling and Election Experts”.
Every election year, millions of Americans tune into their favorite networks to see who wins local, state, and national races. We all watch with anticipation as voting data rolls in from various precincts turning electoral maps red, stiped, or blue. However, most people are unaware of how this process works. Each network has a Decision Desk Team that analyzes voting data as it comes in from precincts and counties. Under an enormous amount of pressure on election night, members of these teams call the races in real time that the masses then see on television or online. At this event, we will hear from members of the Decision Desk Teams of major news networks like CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and leading pollsters to examine what happened in the 2024 elections.
This event is co-sponsored by The Pennsylvania and New Jersey Region AAPOR Chapter and the Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest.
