How well does the American presidency serve the principles of American democracy? Is our democracy a beacon of hope, or a candle in the wind?  For Season 2 we go ‘Behind the Vote’, looking in detail at presidential elections, big money in politics, the electoral college, third parties and polling among other important topics.

Launching exactly one year ahead of election day 2024. Lawyers, politicians, pollsters and government officials join Professor Peter Shane of Ohio State and NYU and co-host, veteran Washington Post journalist and best selling writer Dale Russakoff.
