In addition to providing historical context, Mulholland and Nalder touch on the pros and cons of modern-day polling technology and more restrictive voting laws several states have enactede.
They also talk frankly about how the war in Gaza is influencing their students, who represent many of the nation’s newest voters, as well as how political rhetoric and misinformation are raising alarm.
Even Taylor Swift gets a mention as host Phil Alstatt takes this Election 2024 conversation beyond campus to the region, the state and the world.
