In this episode, we briefly take a look at the McCain and Ayotte
Senate races before diving into Election Reform.  We talk
about first-past-the-post voting in the primaries and the general
election, the primary calendar, and the electoral college.
 And, of course, no discussion of election reform is complete
without a little campaign finance (spoiler: we almost subtitled
this episode, "Beth Says Unpopular Things") and gerrymandering
conversation.  In The Heels, in honor of National Poetry
Month, we share two of our favorites. 
We always love your
feedback, and now there's a new way to contact us.  Leave a
