Election Reforms; Vaccine Hesitancy Among Black Americans; Blue Collar Voters and the Dems; Time Capsule: COVID Survivors

Coming up on today's show: 

• Franita Tolson, vice dean and law professor at USC specializing in election law, and Benjamin L. Ginsberg, veteran Republican election attorney who co-chaired the bipartisan 2013 Presidential Commission on Election Administration, talk about changes that could come for election law after President Trump has spent weeks trying to overturn the results of the election. 
• The CDC says communities of color are a “critical population” to vaccinate. But what actionable steps are states taking to make sure people of color aren't overlooked? Caroline Chen, health care reporter for ProPublica, discusses her reporting, and Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, talks about what public health should do.
• Lisa Lerer, New York Times reporter and CNN political analyst, looks at how blue-collar voters - especially but not only white blue-collar voters - continued the trend of voting Republican, and what this means for Democrats in the future.
• From the first "oh no" moment of thinking you might be sick, to the onset of symptoms, to the lingering aftereffects, getting sick with COVID-19 is an experience that defined 2020 more than any other. In this WNYC Time Capsule segment, listeners call to describe what it was like to be sick with COVID-19 this year, and how they're doing in their recovery.

Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
