The Red Flame of Voter Roll Destruction

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, what counts as merch, and what counts as a campaign donation, and does it even matter if you’re a doomed Republican running for governor of colorado? Yeah, we’d say so. That, and we cover Victor Marx’s peculiar pick for his running mate at the top. Then, pop quiz, is The Red Flame of Liberty affixed to a certain statue on Ellis Island, the discarded name of our patriotic hardcore punk band, or the newly-minted Republican nominee for Colorado secretary of state? And if it’s the last one, is that the least strange thing about him? Next, the President of the United States is 0 for 20 on trying to get the voter rolls out of states, including Colorado, and School District of the Pod goes to court to protect trans kids; they must listen to the podcast outro. And finally, we check in on some historical polling data and some current concerns over data centers. That’s it for this episode!
