On today's episode of The Daily Signal Podcast, we talk with conservative activist Scott Presler about his recent work to cleanup the city of Baltimore.When President Trump tweeted that Baltimore was “a disgusting rat and rodent-infested mess,” Americans erupted with the usual torrent of opinions. Presler, however, was determined to do something about it. He organized a cleanup day in the city to pickup trash. It went so well that he has scheduled another one for Sept. 9. Also on today's episode, we look ahead to next year’s elections and something few are talking about today: the integrity of America’s system of voting. Unfortunately, there are no shortage of challenges. Heritage Foundation legal expert Hans von Spakovsky speaks to why it’s so important to stop the Left from corrupting America’s electoral integrity. We also read your letters to the editor, and share a good news story about one little boy’s love of the American flag.
