Welcome to episode 4 of Hello Minnesota. In this show, we will address a listener letter, give you some updates with our plans for the winter, discuss a brief timeline of suppression and expansion of voter rights in America, and share what we learned about the electoral college. What do you know about the electoral college? Should we replace it with national popular vote?

We dive deep into a serious and controversial question pertinent to the 2020 election: Who is more racist: Biden or Trump? We discuss our research into serious claims of racism leveled against each candidate including President Trump calling Mexicans rapists, Joe Biden using the “N” word in a US Senate hearing, Biden's close ties to Southern segregationists, The Central Park 5 case, Biden’s anti-crime and anti-drug policies, the Proud Boys and more.
