Election day is less than a week away, and early mail-in and
absentee ballots account for more than 70 million votes to date.
Given the unique circumstances of this year's election, will the
returns that day reflect the final outcome? How will the media
accurately cover this historic election day?
At the heart of every news network is the decision desk, a team of
experts that analyzes and projects election winners. In this
episode, Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang interview Arnon Mishkin,
the Fox News analyst who leads the team
that will call the election for the network.
Mishkin is director of the Fox News decision desk. Formerly a
partner of The Boston Consulting Group and Mitchell Madison Group,
he currently leads Mishkin Associates, advising clients on issues
of core strategy, marketing, and targeting.
