We always gain so much valuable perspective from David Becker, co-founder and executive director for the Center for Election Innovation and Research. He joins us again to break down myriad questions revolving around the upcoming midterm elections.

Why wouldn’t lawmakers just change the law in the state dominated by the GOP?

We also dig into the president’s persistent obsession with the 2020 results and passing the Save America Act, which Becker says will never happen.

That’s how ridiculous all of this is.”

Plus, Becker lays out his idea on how we can get record midterm voter turnout this November.
