The Federal Voter ID Bill Is Designed to Fail. Here's Why
<p>Most Americans support voter ID, so why is this fight so explosive? It’s simple: the two-party system keeps turning a broadly popular reform into a partisan weapon. Instead of solving the issue, both sides use it to energize their base and deepen distrust. We unpack the SAVE America Act, the cost and paperwork of proving citizenship, and the independent case for balancing election security with equal access to the ballot.</p> <p>This episode is sponsored by the <a href="https://independentvoterproject.org">Independent Voter Project</a> and produced by <a href="http://olasmedia.com">Olas Media</a>. </p> <p>Listen to more episodes and read in-depth coverage at:<a href="https://ivn.us"> https://ivn.us</a><a href="https://independentvoterproject.org"> and https://independentvoterproject.org</a> </p> <p>Follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.</p> <p>Chapters:<br>00:00:00 – The Politics of Voter ID and Election Integrity<br>00:01:12 – Inside Today’s Episode: Wealth Tax, Voting Laws, and Reform Updates<br>00:02:19 – California’s Billionaire Wealth Tax Explained<br>00:06:11 – California’s Budget, Spending Questions, and Tax Policy Debate<br>00:08:31 – Why Wealth Taxes Failed in Europe<br>00:13:02 – The Voter ID Debate: Federal SAFE Act vs California Proposal<br>00:18:41 – Could Strict Voter ID Requirements Become a Poll Tax?<br>00:33:38 – Independent Candidates and California’s Nonpartisan Primary System<br>00:38:10 – Ranked Choice Voting Momentum in Wisconsin and DC<br>00:41:42 – Oklahoma Reform Effort Blocked by Petition Signature Rules</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Is American Democracy for Sale? The Fight to End Citizens United with Tiffany Muller
<p>Money in politics isn't just a talking point - it's reshaping every policy outcome in Washington. This week, Chad and Cara sit down with Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United, a 4-million-member organization fighting to get dark money out of our elections and power back to the people. They dig into the real mechanics: the stock trading ban, discharge petitions, transparency legislation, and why Congress spends 30 hours a week fundraising instead of governing.
