Lost Debate - Polls, Persuasion, and Precincts: Breaking Down the Final Stretch

Will infrequent voters turn out this November? Ravi shares his prediction as he dives into the latest election updates, from new insights on the Harris campaign's ground game and the inner workings of political PACs and influencers to what voters can learn from Trump's recent media appearances.

Next, Ravi welcomes Kim Wehle back to the show to explore the reality of election fraud claims, including JD Vance's recent comments on the 2020 election and why Hunter Biden's name is back in the news. They then take a broader look at the state of election reform, focusing on changes to election laws in key states like Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and how they may impact the voting process in November.

Finally, Ravi and Kim turn to Kim's new book, Pardon Power: How the Pardon System Works and Why, and discuss Trump's promise to pardon January 6th participants and the legal ramifications of these claims.

Cato Daily Podcast - Courts Grappling with Realities of Retaliatory Arrests

What makes an arrest retaliatory and what evidence ought to be up for consideration when courts decide if an arrest was, in fact, a retaliation? Thanks in part to a clarifying decision from the Supreme Court earlier this year, courts now must grapple more seriously with that question. Patrick Jaicomo of the Institute for Justice offers his thoughts.

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: The Matter Of Mail-In Voting

It's just not one election that picks the president. It's 51. Every state and Washington D.C. has its own rules and deadlines for voting. And in most states, early voting is already underway.

More than 4 in 10 voters cast their ballots by mail in 2020. That's according to an analysis from MIT's Election Data and Science Lab.

Nearly 4 million mail-in ballots have already been cast in this election. That's only a fraction of the more than 53 million voters have requested so far – about a quarter of all expected voters. And the requests are split evenly between political parties so far. That's according to The New York Times.

We discuss the role mail-in ballots could play in determining the outcome of the election.

The Bulwark Podcast - Bill Kristol: He’s Not Hiding the Authoritarianism Anymore

Trump's authoritarianism has intensified—with his calls for using military force against political opponents, taking away broadcast licenses, and deporting even legal immigrants. Plus, the panic meter, Kamala should make appeals to the Cavuto crowd on tariffs, and it's time to speak your mind on a microphone, Gen. Mattis. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

Bad Faith - Episode 414 Promo – Death by PMC (w/ Catherine Liu)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Catherine Liu wrote the definitive case against the Professional Managerial Class -- a group of elite wage workers who tend to dominate media, politics, and other leadership positions due to their educational attainment and other class signifiers that set them apart from the rest of the working class. She has identified the PMC as a key obstacle to achieving substantive gains for the working class as a whole. But is that changing as economic precarity reaches more and more people, and as candidates like Kamala Harris reveal the emptiness of PMC identity politics?
