27. One of the Best Things About Elections Is All the Data

from Top Five · host Chris Paek and Liz Lin

We've got reasons to celebrate: Liz, the power of the people in getting Detroit's election results certified; Chris, the selection of Kim Ng as the General Manager of the Miami Marlins.  Then, in our final election discussion, we dig into exit poll data and try to make sense of some surprising findings:  Why did support for Trump go *up* in every community of color, compared to 2016?  Why did his support double among Asian American women?  What does all this mean for us going forward? We wrap with our top five most inspiring living figures.  We're thankful to them for guiding us through these trying times, and we're thankful for you for choosing to spend time with us.  We hope your holiday is lovely, however unusual it may be. "How Whiteness Affected the Election," 1A, November 9, 2020 These pieces came out after we recorded, but they fit into our discussion perfectly: - "'People of Color' Do Not Belong to the Democratic Party," Jay Caspian Kang, The New York Times, November 20, 2020 - "A New Political Force Emerges in Georgia: Asian-American Voters," Sabrina Tavernise, The New York Times, November 25, 2020 facebook.com/topfivepod Instagram: @topfivepod Twitter: @thetopfivepod Art by Colin Turnbull Music by Origami Pigeon
