Why do I keep getting these weird fundraising texts?

“We are hitting the PANIC button.” Does that wording sound familiar? You’ve probably seen it on your phone. This week on Explain It to Me, we begin to answer the questions we’ve gotten from you about the election, like why you’re getting so many urgently phrased texts asking for money. We also take a closer look at polling. Host Jonquilyn Hill gets answers from Vox senior politics reporter Christian Paz and Banter founder Lloyd Cotler. We want to help answer more of your election-related questions for our election week episode. Tell us what’s on your mind here, or give us a call. Our number is 1-800-618-8545.
