Democracy- it’s on the ballot (Hour 2)
Wisconsin State Rep Francesca Hong joins Dom and Matt to talk about the local issues on the ballot next week. In these final days leading up to the election, many of us feel uneasy and overwhelmed. Representative Hong encourages us to use that energy and *do something*. Call and text your loved ones, make a plan to vote, and do what you can to protect our democracy.
In breaking news today, SCOTUS ruled today in favor of systemic voter purging in Virginia. Today's news also brings more fallout from the Madison Square Garden rally from Trump. More Republicans attempt to distance themselves from Trump as Nikki Haley berates the party for the rally. And, well Biden stuck his foot in his mouth.
