Shownotes

The U.S. Constitution never guarantees the right to vote—and that gap still shapes democracy today. Jerremy and Dave expose how the Electoral College distorts representation, how felon disenfranchisement silences millions, and why reforms like ranked-choice voting could reset a two-party system at war with itself. A system without universal access isn’t broken—it’s incomplete.
