In This Episode

James and Al call out Elon’s election spending and MAGA misinformation, rip apart the last 2 years of Republican governance, and the races to focus on at the state level, before welcoming Brennan Center for Justice President Michael Waldman.  They discuss election integrity, the challenges of certifying an election, the need to prepare legally for expected post-election challenges, and driving turnout to ensure a legitimate election outcome.  They also emphasize the need for ordinary citizens to stay vigilant and the critical opportunity we have to take back our democracy.
