Episode 15: Majority Participation

Small Talk Small Government

In some ways, the election didn't end up the way many anticipated. But in some ways, it went better than anticipated. Bill and Deb discuss the election aftermath. What actually happened last November? With hindsight, what positive things happened? We discussed some tight and pivotal races in November - what were the results? Are there any shenanigans?

"We do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate."
― Thomas Jefferson
