On today's show, Greg Bach kicked things off by diving into the local drama of Milwaukee County trying to keep ICE out of the parks.

After helping listeners navigate the labyrinth of the February 17th primary, the show brought in Sam Liebert from All Voting is Local to dissect Congressman Bryan Steil’s "MEGA Act," a bill so packed with bans on things like ranked choice voting and ballot harvesting that it makes a HOA rulebook look chill.

Sam broke down why these "integrity" reforms might actually be doing more work just to solve problems that don't exist, while Greg tried to wrap his head around why we can't just have nice things—like a simple trip to the polls without a side of federal legislation.
