Show notes
In this special doubleheader, NBC’s Steve Kornacki joins Dylan, followed by Ali Velshi, Kornacki’s successor at MS Now, to pull back the curtain on how election night really works: the methods, the challenges, and the technology used to make sense of real-time voting data. They weigh the inherent limits of polling, explain why visual storytelling is so essential to helping audiences process a flood of data, size up how long we should expect to wait for results, and more.
