On this day in 1998, Van Halen dropped Van Halen III — their 11th studio album and the only release featuring Gary Cherone on vocals. Produced by Mike Post and Eddie Van Halen, the album marked a bold shift in direction, with longer songs, deeper experimentation, and a very different vibe from anything the band had done before. While it received mixed reviews and didn't hit the same commercial highs, Van Halen III has become one of the most unique and talked-about chapters in the band's legacy. In this video, we dive into:

CannCon and Ashe in America return for another episode of Why We Vote, diving deep into ongoing election integrity battles and the systems that govern how votes are verified and counted. The conversation centers on Arizona's election oversight efforts, including signature verification processes, chain of custody concerns, and the broader fight to improve transparency and accountability in election administration. The hosts examine past election investigations, audit controversies, overwritten log files, and media narratives surrounding election integrity work. They also explore how grassroots organizations are working to analyze voter records, address registration issues, and bring greater scrutiny to election procedures across the country. Later in the episode, election integrity advocate Merissa Caldwell of EZAZ.org joins the discussion to explain how her background in logistics and supply chain management led her into election oversight. She outlines how citizen-led efforts can improve verification systems and discusses current developments surrounding the SAVE Act and proof of citizenship requirements. Throughout the conversation, the panel emphasizes civic participation, transparency, and the role of citizens in holding government institutions accountable.

On this episode: Primary season is officially underway in America, and Ballotpedia founder and CEO Leslie Graves joins host Norman Leahy to break down what the early 2026 results actually tell us. They dig into how primaries vary widely from state to state — open, closed, jungle, caucus, convention — and why that complexity can leave voters confused when they cross state lines. They also explore how off-cycle elections affect turnout, how an active redistricting cycle is reshaping the playing field ahead of November, and why local and down-ballot races may have more influence over everyday life than the marquee contests dominating the headlines.https://news.ballotpedia.org/2026/02/20/introducing-a-new-ballotpedia-project-for-americas-250th-anniversary-the-blueprints-of-democracy/ https://ballotpedia.org/America_250_Blueprints_of_Democracy 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.

Kelly Hall on how lawmakers are quietly dismantling ballot initiatives—and how voters are fighting back. Ballot measures have become one of the most powerful tools voters have to bypass politicians and pass policy directly—from raising the minimum wage to expanding Medicaid to protecting reproductive rights. But according to Kelly Hall of The Fairness Project, that power is under coordinated attack. In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner talks with Hall about the organization's new report, Direct Democracy Under Assault, and the accelerating effort to weaken the ballot initiative process across the country. They discuss how lawmakers are changing the rules to make ballot measures harder to qualify, harder to pass, and easier for politicians to manipulate after voters have already spoken. They also explore why these attacks are not just procedural—they're a warning sign. Rights are often lost gradually, through technical changes and bureaucratic barriers that seem small on their own but add up over time. If voting rights are eroded drip by drip, Hall argues, direct democracy can disappear the same way. This is a conversation about ballot measures, yes—but also about power, representation, and what it means when politicians decide they no longer need to listen to voters. READ THE REPORT: ATTACKS ON DIRECT DEMOCRACY DOUBLED IN 2025 EPISODE CHAPTERS: 00:00 — What ballot measures are and why they matter Kelly explains the ballot initiative process and why it has become such an important democratic tool in an era of political dysfunction. 04:15 — The Fairness Project's new report: Direct Democracy Under Assault Kelly breaks down the report's central finding: attacks on ballot measures are accelerating fast. 08:20 — The numbers behind the backlash Jen and Kelly discuss the scale of the legislative assault, including the dramatic rise in anti-ballot-measure bills. 09:30 — Why the backlash is happening now Kelly connects the attacks to recent ballot measure victories, especially on reproductive rights. 11:15 — Why this isn't just about abortion The conversation widens to include wages, Medicaid, voting protections, gerrymandering, and other policies voters can pursue through ballot initiatives. 12:00 — Who is behind these attacks? Kelly draws an important distinction between Republican voters and a small group of extremist Republican lawmakers attacking direct democracy. 14:45 — What it means when politicians refuse to listen to voters Jen and Kelly discuss the deeper democratic crisis revealed by these efforts. 19:20 — What would a healthy balance look like? A discussion about how ballot measures and legislatures might work together in a better-functioning democracy. 22:10 — Why voters split their tickets but support progressive ballot measuresKelly talks through the complexity and nuance of how people vote. 26:20 — How rights erode “drip by drip”One of the most powerful parts of the conversation: how democratic rights are lost gradually, through cumulative procedural attacks. 28:50 — The Florida exampleKelly explains how Florida has become a case study in making ballot measures harder to use. 32:20 — The Missouri exampleA look at how politicians use delay tactics and bureaucratic obstruction to interfere with the process. 36:50 — Fighting back: ballot measures to protect ballot measuresKelly explains how some states are going on offense by using ballot initiatives to strengthen direct democracy itself. 39:20 — Can there be federal protection for ballot measures?A discussion about the limits of federal intervention and why this remains a state-level fight. 40:20 — What people can do right nowKelly shares where the front lines are and how listeners can support this work. 42:20 — Why this matters even if you don't live in a ballot-measure state The episode closes with a reminder that these fights affect all of us.

In this episode of The Electorette, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Rebekah Caruthers, President and CEO of the Fair Elections Center, about growing concerns around voter intimidation and the potential role of federal agencies like ICE at or near polling places. They discuss how proposed laws like the SAVE Act could change voter registration requirements, the broader strategy behind voter suppression efforts, and why some Americans are increasingly anxious about voting. Caruthers also puts this moment into historical perspective, reminding us that the fight over voting rights is not new—and that Americans have defended the ballot through some of the most difficult periods in the nation's history. Chapter Timestamps 00:00 — The State of American Democracy Jen and Rebekah begin by taking the temperature of democracy in the United States, discussing how current political rhetoric and policy decisions are shaping the country's democratic institutions. 02:30 — A Long History of Fighting for Voting Rights Rebekah reflects on historical struggles for democracy, including the work of Ida B. Wells and the civil rights movement, and explains why understanding this history is essential to navigating today's challenges. 06:00 — ICE, Voter Intimidation, and the Politics of Fear The conversation turns to concerns about federal law enforcement being deployed near polling places and how intimidation—real or perceived—can discourage people from exercising their right to vote. 07:30 — The SAVE Act and New Voting Restrictions Rebekah breaks down the SAVE Act and similar legislation, explaining how proof-of-citizenship requirements and stricter ID laws could make voter registration significantly harder for millions of Americans. 11:30 — Barriers to Registration and Voting Access From criminal penalties for election workers to reduced early voting and limited ballot drop boxes, the discussion explores how multiple layers of policy changes can collectively restrict access to the ballot. 17:00 — What Voters Can Do Right Now Rebekah offers practical advice for voters, including checking registration regularly, voting early when possible, and ensuring ballots are properly received and counted. 20:00 — Disinformation and Targeting Black Voters The episode examines how misinformation campaigns often target Black communities and why voter suppression historically focuses on communities whose turnout can shift political outcomes. 24:00 — Elections in Times of Crisis Rebekah puts current fears about voting into historical perspective, reminding listeners that the United States has successfully held elections through wars, national crises, and economic collapse. 27:00 — Hope, Resistance, and the Future of the Vote The conversation closes with reflections on hope, civic participation, and why Americans continue to fight for their right to vote—even in difficult political moments.

One of Vermont's most beloved annual traditions is tomorrow – Town Meeting Day. Have you read through your school budget and town report? Today on Vermont Edition, we'll get a preview of some of the big issues and elections going on this town meeting day. Rutland City residents get to select their next mayor. Pomfret will decide if non-residents can hold town office and whether to add a local option tax. Folks in the Woodstock area will vote on a bond to rebuild their middle and high school. Ripton is deciding what to do with its shuttered elementary school building. And Grande Isle is one of the numerous towns battling the emerald ash borer. They'll vote on whether to allocate tax dollars to remove ash trees killed by this invasive bug.

Vastly different reactions in Kentucky to President Trump's State of the Union address, the state's two-year budget bill passes out of committee, a state senator wants stiffer penalties for school officials who use public resources for political purposes, and how the state is looking to help inmates receive job training while behind bars.

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome election attorney Harry MacDougald for a deep dive into the legal battles still unfolding from 2020. From Sidney Powell's Georgia case to representing Jeffrey Clark before the January 6th Committee and fighting disbarment efforts in D.C., Harry walks through the lawfare that followed election challenges and the chilling effect it has had on the legal profession. The conversation zeroes in on Fulton County's ballot controversy, the DOJ's seizure of 2020 election records, missing ballot images, signature verification failures, and the ongoing fight over standing, probable cause, and preservation requirements. Harry explains the legal arguments behind Rule 41(g), the Fourth Amendment claims, and why the preservation of ballot images matters more than many realize. Beyond the courtroom drama, the episode explores a broader question: can public trust survive when transparency is resisted at every turn? From state investigations to federal intervention, this is a candid discussion about accountability, decentralization, and the future of election integrity.

What happens when the federal government refuses to acknowledge the Constitution? When state election officials asked a simple civics question about who actually has the authority to run our elections, they were met with a "stunned silence" from federal authorities.

A sweeping ballot initiative could outlaw hunting, fishing, and wildlife management in Oregon. Oregon's IP 28 is more than another anti-hunting proposal. It is a direct attempt to eliminate exemptions within the state's animal cruelty statutes, effectively banning hunting, angling, trapping, ranching practices, and even common wildlife management tools. If passed, the measure would restrict predator control, criminalize certain animal husbandry practices, and severely limit the ability of biologists to manage species through science-based conservation. Supporters are nearing the signature threshold required to place the initiative on the 2026 ballot. If certified, Oregon voters will decide whether consumptive use of wildlife and livestock production remains legal under state law. That includes everything from elk hunting and bass fishing to pest control and prescribed wildlife management. This conversation goes far beyond one state. Ballot box biology has reshaped wildlife policy before, and IP 28 could serve as a blueprint for similar efforts nationwide. Hunters, anglers, landowners, and conservation advocates need to understand what is at stake and why unified engagement matters. This is a critical moment for the sporting community and the future of science-based wildlife conservation. Follow the show for more weekly hunting and fishing conversations.

1. United Nations Funding Crisis The United Nations is facing financial collapse because the United States has reduced or withdrawn funding. This is a move to stop funding “woke” & ideological programs. The UN is ineffective, bureaucratic, and overly dependent on U.S. taxpayer money. Symbolic examples (turned-off escalators, reduced heating) are used to emphasize desperation and mismanagement. The U.S. withdrew from 66 international organizations and treaties, framed as: Cost-saving Anti-globalist Pro-American sovereignty Many of these organizations are described as obscure, wasteful, or hostile to U.S. interests. The underlying message is that global institutions dilute U.S. power without delivering value. 2. Media Merger and National Security Concerns Focus shifts to a major media merger (Netflix / Warner Bros / Paramount context). Concerns raised include: Foreign influence, especially money from the Middle East or China National security implications Loss of American cultural control The argument is that entertainment media shapes public perception more than news. Hollywood and major streaming platforms are portrayed as: Predominantly left-wing Hostile to conservative viewpoints Engaged in ideological indoctrination Executives are challenged on whether their content fairly represents conservatives. The inability to name conservative-oriented programming is used as evidence of bias. The merger is framed as dangerous because it could: Concentrate cultural and political influence Amplify a single ideological viewpoint The Department of Justice and FCC are identified as key gatekeepers. The timeline for approval is described as months to years, with high stakes for media freedom. 3. Save America Act (Voter ID Legislation) Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Photo ID to vote The bill is common-sense and widely supported, including among minority voters. Democrats, particularly Chuck Schumer, are accused of: Using “Jim Crow” rhetoric to scare voters Ignoring polling that shows broad support for voter ID Opposition is attributed to: Desire to preserve election vulnerabilities Partisan strategy rather than public opinion Ballot harvesting is described as inherently vulnerable to abuse. Examples (nursing homes, paid operatives) are used to argue: Elderly and vulnerable voters can be exploited Ballots can be selectively discarded The Carter–Baker Commission is cited to legitimize these concerns. Acknowledges internal Republican resistance and logistical challenges. Emphasizes urgency and political pressure as tools to pass the bill. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
