revolving in the side and going to turn to a story here at buzz feed that says according to the pew research center about 30% of registered women voters in 2018 train 19 identified as a republican while only 6% of republicans in the house were women at that time. how do you change those numbers? you have a large almost 40% of women identifying as republican but only 6% of women last session in congress who are women. first of all, should that change and if it should, how do you change it? >> guest: you brought us a representation question and i think what i mentioned earlier about building a field team or a pipeline of women is so important in this. most candidates don't just run for president or don't just run for congress but they are on their school board or michelle steel on our orange county board of supervisors and there are elected at that state and local levels so one thing i think we have seen republicans do more of to women to run is first asked and we've seen data that asking women matters and makes a difference so there are women out there asking other women to run and then secondly, no

based pew research center says that two thirds of latino voters see joe biden is the best choice for president. >> one of the biggest concerns for latino voters right here in the bay area. i went to find out? >>> we have all seen this, and this the two presidential candidates. attempts to appeal to latino voters. does it work? bay area-based latino community foundations christian says no but a simple conversation can. >> why do white people come out to vote? they get talked to all the time. they could send the mailers. they get the tv ads. they have a conversation with them. that does not happen with latinos. >> reporter: what do bay area- based latin x voters care most about? the common misconception is immigration with a recent poll shows while important, the top three concerns aren't like everyone else. covid-19, healthcare, and jobs in the economy. >> just a balanced economy. >> in fairness, life is sometimes not fair in figuring out who will make that choice of balancing it out so it is fair for everyone. >> reporter: balancing equal access, the court issue of this bay area-base

according to the pew research center, transportation problems were one of the main reasons why people did not vote in 2016. scoot and byrd say they're committed to being part of the solution. >>> disney researchers just unveiled a new robot that is impressive yet kind of creepy. okay. look at this. although it has no skin, it has a very life-like gaze. and that's the main goal of it. the project is part of a partnership with two universities. disney could end up using technology like this at theme parks. for what? >> i really like it. >> disney is the parent company of -- hold on. disney is the parent company of abc7. you like a robot and this one out of all the robots. >> it doesn't make sense. you know i love a theme park. you know when you add robots to a disney theme park, we're good to go. >> is it a haunted house? >> it could be. >> halloween is over. >> disney robots are only for good. those other robots are obviously going to kill us and end civilization as we know it. that's the difference. >> wow. >> i don't know what to say, mike. i really -- >> oh, mike can hear us now. >>

according to the pew research center, transportation problems were one of the main reasons why peoplescoot and bird said they are committed to being part of the solution. >>> next at 6:30, we are back with complete election day team coverage. >> we have already seen record breaking early voter turnout here in the bay area. 99 vote centers here in santa clara county alone. many more all across the bay area. we expect to see some strong turnout for in-person voting today, as well. i'm julian glover with what you can expect when you turn out to the polls. >>> plus, how to get people to the polls who might not usually vote. we'll show you what alameda county is doing today to accomplish that. >>> and breaking down the battleground road map. it's what everybody is wondering heading into tonight. this morning, we have the best-case scenarios for trump and biden on election day. >>> and as we head to break, we'll take a live look outside at 6:26. we'll be right back. >> i want us all to reframe the way we look at nonviolence and protests. >> fighting for decades. >> physical manifestation of

the last few months of this election what issues voters cared about most and polling by the pew research center shows reaffirms rather that the economy is at the top of a long list followed by health care and supreme court appointments let's hear from some voters why they chose to vote the way they did. the reason that i support drop in the collection because of the economy the main. problem we. undoubtedly the one behind it and then we continue to go to the polls to do. i support joe biden as the next president of the united states as he believes that health care is a right and not a privilege and this is an alignment with the world health organization and the 1st half of 2020 there are over 43 percent of americans between the ages of 19 and 64 who did not have access to adequate health insurance and health coverage this is something that joe biden is committed to resolving into providing proper health care services to every american i am pro biden because of pro-choice. mostly because of the lack of men accountability. lay pregnancy complications that continues congress that poverty cycles th

the pew research center has found that the general profile of gun owners in the united states differs substantially from the general public. roughly three fourths of gun owners are men, and 82% are white. taken together, that is 61% of adults who own guns are white men. nationwide, white men make up only 32% of the u.s. population. so, what is the majority of white men so afraid of? they are real scaredy cats. we cannot to make sense of gun hoarding and the cult of the gun if we don't deal with white nationalism. we can't deal with white nationalism without dealing with united states history. i am an historian, and i feel this is how i can contribute to the understanding of this seemingly senseless gun proliferation and violence. centuries of racial and economic domination by white men are integral to united states culture, views, and institutions. the ongoing influence of this history is compounded by a general lack or refusal of knowledge and acknowledgment of the three centuries of white settler colonial savage violence in seizing indigenous land across the continent and the legacy

you know, you can look back at the pew research center did research back around labor day to see thempact on americans of what they're hearing and consuming. they looked at how or what the media people watched impacted their attitudes toward mail-in absentee ballot and was fraud a problem. 52% of fox viewers thought it was. 3% of npr listeners didn't so it's important that everywhere, we as a americans, come together and talk about the truth and that that is this election was well-run maybe the best election we've ever had as far as how it was administered particularly in spite of the challenges, we need to give credit to the public servants that ran this election, respect them, respect their integrity, and let the process, the final certification of the ballots play out, let people do their jobs without being threatened or harassed, and we need to respect the will of the voters. neil: so with these states still in the feud and the count that goes on and these folks who are gathering do you think it's incumbent upon the president to interrupt them and say already, eventually, not tod

a 2018 pew research center survey of nearly 750 13- to 17-year-olds found that 45% are online almost constantly and 97% use social media platforms such as youtube, facebook, instagram, or snapchat. if so why are we having this hearing? the products that these two companies offer, people like and they use. so the bottom line is they've probably been more successful than their wildest dreams, and they're having to make decisions that offend people on the left and the right. and what we're trying to do is look at section 230 and to see if it needs to be modified or changed because section 230 basically allows social media platforms like twitter and facebook to pass on information without legal liability. if a newspaper does something you don't like, you think they've slandered you in a certain way, you can sue them. sen. graham: if a news program -- you can soothe them -- you them.ie if a news program does something that you think is out of line, even as a politician with a high bar, you can sue them. these companies have a liability protection when it comes to the content that their us

remain divided, but i think that we have to say they have been engaged, and according to the pew research center, americans participated in this election cycle at the highest rate in 120 years. election officials still haven't finished their counts and already we know that more than 144 million ballots were cast this cycle. and i would venture to say that many of those millions of individuals are watching us. they want to see what we're going to do next. how we're going to conduct ourselves. and they don't really care if it takes a little multitasking. they are saying it is time for congress to do its job. you can look at all of the exit polling on the favorability ratings of congress, and i will say it's discouragingly low. the regard in which the american people hold their elected representatives collective body. so it's time for us to get some things done. judging by the footage of demonstrations in many of america's major cities, you might not remember that we're still dealing with the effects of a global pandemic. it seems for a few days people forget that there was a pandemic. democrats in
