   15. Elections, Voting, and 2024 (Audio Only)

   Landen and Riley return for their first episode in 282 days, breaking the ice by discussing the stakes of the 2024 election & the importance of voting in local elections. They discuss how voting is a nonviolent contest for sovereignty, and address concerns about the security and meaningfulness of elections. They also examine how the American Founders designed the electorate, and how their views are still relevant to today's vastly changed voting landscape.
