Will This Be a Legal Disaster?

What to expect when you're expecting (an election crisis).

Sarah and David preview how the 2024 election might play out in the courts. But first, the two revisit their conversation with Leon Neyfakh.

The Agenda:
—Electoral Count Reform Act
Guardrails to prevent partisan manipulation
—Ballot harvesting
—File them lawsuits!
—History of the Electoral College
—Increasing the size of the House
—David: I Don’t Want to Live in a Monoculture
