On this episode: Ballotpedia CEO and founder Leslie Graves joins host Norm Leahy to share insights from a yearlong “virtual listening tour” with 100 school board members across 33 states. The conversations revealed struggles that rarely make headlines, including the challenges boards face in accessing reliable data on student achievement, how political tension bleeds into their work, the difficulty of moving past conflict, and the reality that most members are volunteers trying to balance limited time with big responsibilities. The story of these local officials underscores how much of American democracy happens far from the spotlight, and why understanding their struggles matters for anyone trying to make sense of our schools and politics.Read Leslie's Column: https://ballotpedia.org/From_the_desk_of_Leslie_Graves Learn more about the tour: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia%27s_School_Board_Listening_Tour Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

CannCon and Ashe in America bring sharp commentary and humor to a jam-packed news cycle. They kick things off with pop culture absurdities like Trump's tongue-in-cheek response to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement, before diving into Cracker Barrel's logo flip-flop and the deeper culture war at play. The hosts tackle Snoop Dogg's swipe at woke Hollywood, expose shocking immigration failures including a sex offender hiding in a daycare, and unpack the federal trial of a judge accused of helping an illegal immigrant escape ICE custody. They then dig into the explosive revelation of “burn bags” tied to 2020 election corruption, Trump's push to sanction EU censors, and a heated battle over Pennsylvania's mail-in ballot rules. From Zelensky's illegitimacy and pipeline attacks in Europe to Fulton County's election board defiance and Trump's call to RICO the Soros family, this episode ties together cultural battles, global geopolitics, and the fight for election integrity.

On this episode: The Federal Reserve has been at the center of America's biggest economic turning points for more than a century as one of the country's most powerful institutions. Former Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker joins host Norm Leahy to trace that story—from the banking panics that led to its creation in 1913 to JP Morgan's role in corralling Wall Street leaders. He explains how Congress set up 12 regional reserve banks, why the Fed's role shifted during the Great Depression and World War II, and how the 1951 Treasury-Fed Accord cemented its independence. Lacker also shares how presidents from Lyndon Johnson to Richard Nixon tried to influence Fed decisions, and why Paul Volcker's fight against inflation in the late 1970s remains a defining moment. Today's debates over the Fed's authority, independence, and accountability echo all the way back to the Reserve's founding — and learning its history can help make sense of where the institution may go in the months and years ahead.Learn more about our guest: https://www.jeffreylacker.org/ Learn more about the Federal Reserve: https://ballotpedia.org/Federal_Reserve_System Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On this episode: Louis Jacobson, senior columnist for Sabato's Crystal Ball, explains why the 2026 secretary of state elections could be among the most important contests of the cycle. In most states, secretaries of state oversee elections, giving them direct influence over how voting is administered and results are certified. With 26 seats on the ballot—including key battlegrounds such as Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Georgia—these races could shape the rules and practices of future elections. Jacobson outlines how responsibilities differ from state to state, why the offices have drawn more national attention in recent years, and previews the forthcoming 2026 edition of the Almanac of American Politics, a comprehensive resource on American government and elections.Read Jacobson's overview of the races: https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/previewing-the-2026-secretary-of-state-races/ Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Last week was the deadline to file ballot questions for November 2026 and over 40 ballot questions made it through. These are questions that ultimately could become law covering a wide range of topics from MBTA zoning to rent control, from marijuana "re-illegalization" to voter ID requirements. This week on The Horse Race, Steve is joined by Mike Deehan, reporter for Axios, to discuss how these ballot questions will effect Mass residents. and why filing ballot questions is becoming an increasingly used tactic of political activists and special interests to force issues in Mass., the lowest ranked state for legislative productivity.

On this episode: Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield secured 51% of the vote in the city's August 5th mayoral primary, significantly exceeding pre-election polling that predicted she would finish with around 35-36%. Sheffield will face Reverend Solomon Kinloch, who finished second with 17%, in November's general election. The nine-candidate field included several experienced politicians, but none captured significant voter enthusiasm according to local coverage. Pulitzer Prize-winning Detroit Free Press columnist M.L.

  Election day for municipal primaries is August 12th, and there have been some changes that Utah voters should know about that could impact whether or not voters ballots get counted if they are voting by mail. Shelly Jackson, Deputy Director of Elections in Utah, joins the conversation and illuminates some factors voters should know before sending their vote or using a local drop box. 

On this episode: Seattle's August 5th mayoral primary produced unexpected results, with incumbent Bruce Harrell—endorsed by the governor and congressional delegation—currently trailing progressive organizer Katie Wilson. The city hasn't re-elected a mayor since 2005, and this tight race looks as if that pattern could continue. As mail-in ballots are counted through mid-August, the contest centers on key issues, such as Harrell's public safety record and Wilson's housing proposal to open 4,000 emergency units through tiny homes. Multiple incumbents across Seattle races are also trailing their challengers, from city attorney to council president, suggesting potential changes in leadership coming down the road. Seattle's results may offer insights into Democratic voter preferences in this heavily blue city as the general election approaches in November.Follow along with the primary results: https://ballotpedia.org/Mayoral_election_in_Seattle,_Washington_(2025) Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On Wednesday July 23rd, Ms. Alina Habba, the acting US Attorney for the state of New Jersey, released a statement regarding a former Atlantic City official who was being sentenced to 2 years behind bars for the crime of submitting fake Mail-In Ballots.Here's what the statement read in part: “An Atlantic County, New Jersey, man was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for his role in the procurement, casting, and tabulation of fraudulent mail-in ballots submitted in connection with the general election held on November 8, 2022.”The man in question here is a Political Organizer slash former President of the Atlantic City, city council — Mr. Craig Callaway. His story is quite interesting—because not only does it highlight a fascinating, concrete example of major ballot fraud, but also, it shows us how this type of fraud cuts across party lines—being used by both Republicans and Democrats. Now we covered Mr. Callaway's story briefly when the charges against him first came to light last year, but now that he's pled guilty and has been sentenced to prison, let's go through the details of his election operations over in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In less than 2 weeks, it's do or die for Pierre Poilievre.Not only is he in for a political battle to get into the House of Commons, he's got other forces working against him, including another lengthy ballot.Most of the candidates are associated with the Longest Ballot Committee, a grassroots electoral reform group seeking to draw attention to itself by flooding ballots with as many names as possible in several recent elections and byelections. But their tactics have raised questions about the effect long ballots have on the accessibility and integrity of the vote. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Julie Simmons, associate professor at the University of Guelph's political science department to discuss both the flaws in the Canadian electoral system that long ballots aim to highlight and whether such protests have the potential to depreciate our democracy.

Young voters are the largest, most diverse voting bloc in the country, but they're also the most disillusioned. In this episode, we dig into the gap between political power and political participation among Gen Z and Millennial voters. Why do so many young people feel like voting doesn't matter? What's fueling their dissatisfaction, and what motivates them to show up?We break down the numbers, bust the myths, and spotlight the organizers, campaigns, and conversations that are shifting the narrative. From TikTok to town halls, this episode is a crash course in how to reach future voters where they are, and why their voices are essential to the future of democracy.

Today, we're looking at the ongoing drama over ballots in the byelection for Battle River—Crowfoot, where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is looking to secure a seat so he can return to the House of Commons, after Elections Canada announced voters would be submitting write-in ballots after activists submitted an enormous list of candidates. Plus, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has flip-flopped on his previous statement about granting work permits to asylum seekers as the country struggles with unemployment, especially among young people. And finally, while some premiers have signed agreements on potential pipeline projects, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew remains a holdout despite previous statements supporting national unity projects. Special Guest: Lise Merle.

Black self-determination and liberation requires a holistic and strategic integration of political power, cultural memory, and economic self-determination. Across a week of reflection, convenings, and engagement, from Birmingham's Civil Rights Historical District to Atlanta's Sweet Auburn Avenue to Daytona's Paul Laurence Dunbar House and Wilberforce Ohio's National Afro American Museum and Cultural Center, we center the urgency of reclaiming and redefining learning, community, citizenship, institution building and governance on African terms.The Ballot represents more than just voting, though that is an essential element of civic participation: It symbolizes collective potential power. The long fight against voter suppression is revealed by the fracturing myth of inclusion within a settler colonial state to be a potent weapon for realizing collective power. As W.E.B. Du Bois and others demonstrate, the struggle for political power is communitarian, not individualist—and the US South remains a battleground, not of defeat, but of underutilized potential.The Book highlights the liberatory role of education, historical memory, and cultural knowledge. Case studies of figures like Martin Delany show how Black communities must resist erasure and re-center themselves as global actors in a world system undergoing transformation. Reclaiming narratives that fostering an understanding of internal governance formations is necessary to recover agency.The Buck calls for an economic awakening—exposing capitalism's lie of meritocracy and the theft of public wealth. Reimagining collective economics through community interdependence, strategic ownership, and global solidarity becomes a compelling path forward. From the ruins of racial capitalism, a new economic ethos must emerge, rooted in mutual aid and sovereignty.Voting, reading, and spending must be done with vision and unity. “We'll find a way, or make one” is not merely a slogan—it's a generational imperative in the ongoing struggle to complete the unfinished work of Black freedom and transformation.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
