On this episode, Matt talks with Nick Troiano, the Executive Director of Unite America. Nick is a civic entrepreneur, author, speaker, and commentator with over a decade of experience bridging divides and improving American democracy.

In a time of deep division, Troiano explains how reforming primaries and adopting ranked choice voting could restore competition, accountability, and better governance — without needing Congress or a constitutional amendment.

During this conversation, Matt and Nick also discuss:

— Indiana Republicans standing up to Trump pressure on mid-decade redistricting and gerrymandering— Why party primaries fuel extremism and how open primaries can create more representative leaders— The power of ranked choice voting (RCV) and top-four systems, with real-world success in states like Alaska and Louisiana— Structural reforms to reduce gridlock, encourage bipartisanship, and align politicians with the majority of voters— And MUCH more!
