Voter Suppression | Featuring David Becker

Beyond the Ballot is a podcast series by the Bertelsmann Foundation that looks at where we've been, the issues that matter, and how it all works for the 2024 U.S. election. With expert guests from around the United States, Beyond the Ballot focuses on the issues driving the U.S. presidential race right up to election day. Episodes will cover primaries and caucuses, education, the economy, the Supreme Court, youth voters, election security, voter suppression, demographic change, and the candidates themselves. In order to understand the policies and priorities of the U.S. electorate, you have to go "beyond the ballot." Beyond the Ballot is produced by the Bertelsmann Foundation, Are We Europe, and AWE Studio. Sound design is done by Alexandra Tyan. This series is hosted by Courtney Flynn Martino.
