“Electoral Process Porn” —The Weekly Roundup

To unlock Politicology+ visit politicology.com/plus This week, we discuss election integrity, how our elections are more secure than they’ve ever been, and the opportunities bad actors are going to use to cast doubt on the election. Then, we’ll discuss Vice President Harris’s “media blitz” and who she’s trying to reach. Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we talk about the U.S. government using its power to take out banks when it doesn’t like their customers—and shed some light on why crypto created the biggest Super PAC in the 2024 campaign.
