On November 5, 2020, Capitol Weekly and the McGeorge Capital Center for Law & Policy presented a Post-Mortem of the 2020 Election.

This episode of the Capitol Weekly Podcast broadcasts audio of the Keynote address from Ace Smith.

Campaign consultant Ace Smith has handled many of the biggest campaigns in California history including gubernatorial runs for Jerry Brown, Senate campaigns for Barbara Boxer and Kamala Harris, and major Ballot Propositions such as Yes on 30. This cycle he guided Sen. Harris' presidential run.

While Harris did not make the top of the ticket, she is headed for the White House as the first VP from California since Richard Nixon.

Capitol Weekly's John Howard guides a wide-ranging discussion with Smith that digs deep into political history, solves the Electoral College's representation problem, and looks ahead to 2024.

Over the past week we've posted the other presentations from the Post-Mortem, including: The Ballot Props; Polling; and The Face of the Electorate. Next week we'll be back with a regular episode of the podcast.
