One of the most divisive Presidential campaigns in history is coming down the homestretch… Will the ultimate loser be our system of democracy as we’ve known it?
Join us for the next edition of Inside Journalism, offering an incisive examination of how this unprecedented election is being impacted by the headlines and social media.
Has Presidential power been redefined? Is the truth no longer important? Will the USPS be up to task of millions of mail-in ballots? How long will the country have to wait for final election results? What impact could a second wave of COVID-19 have on the election?
You’ll hear in-the-trenches journalists, experienced pollsters, and election officials share their thoughts during this moderated panel discussion and community conversation.
Join us for this stimulating moderated discussion featuring a panel of notable experts.
