Today we're talking about a breakout story of this election cycle: the rise of prediction markets and betting on elections. For the first time in a century, Americans can legally place bets on election outcomes using a platform called Kalshi. But the Commodity Futures Trading Commission warns that these markets could warp the public’s understanding of our elections if they’re treated like polls. On this Election Day episode, Cantrell Dumas of Better Markets, a financial reform advocacy group, explains how Americans are dabbling in election betting, the legal questions surrounding these prediction markets, and why he believes manipulation of these markets has the potential to sway elections. Then, we’ll dig into the history of the “I Voted” sticker and hear a perfect poem for Election Day. Plus, a listener shares what moving abroad taught them about the U.S. voting system. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Election betting is newly legal — and risks getting confused with polls” from NBC News “Exclusive: Election betting site Polymarket gives Trump a 67% chance of winning but is rife with fake ‘wash' trading, researchers say” from Fortune Crypto “Cryptoverse: U.S. election speculators play the prediction markets” from Reuters “Wall Street regulator moves to ban election betting, escalating fight over new market” from Politico “The Case for Legalizing Political Betting” from the Cato Institute “How ‘I Voted’ Stickers Became an Election Day Staple” from Business Insider We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.

After her trial for having voted in an 1872 election, Susan B. Anthony explained to the judge the implications of her conviction: "My natural rights, my civil rights, my political rights, are all alike ignored. Robbed of the fundamental privilege of citizenship, I am degraded from the status of a citizen to that of a subject." Today, women in Rochester, New York, cover her grave with "I Voted" stickers.

Regarding Nikki Haley's win in the D.C. GOP Primary over the weekend, Trump called her a bird brain for focusing on a region with small numbers and pointed to lobbyists voting in what he called a swamp. He went on to pat himself on the back for his wins in states with big numbers of delegates.

Matthew Hurtt's day at a polling station in Arlington, Virginia, unexpectedly transformed into a scene mirroring the tense and divided state of American politics. A recorded confrontation with an irate voter, now viral, spotlights the fiery atmosphere surrounding our electoral process. Hurtt, known for his robust role at the Leadership Institute and a seasoned poll worker, faced a voter's wrath head-on. The footage shows an intense encounter: an "I Voted" sticker-wearing individual, accusing Hurtt and his party of attempting to suppress and manipulate the vote. "You try to steal my vote next year, I'm going to f—ing remember you personally," he threatened, capturing Hurtt's image as a lasting reminder of their confrontation. This incident, while isolated, resonates deeply with the current climate of American politics. It reflects a nation grappling with stark ideological divides, where even the act of voting can become a flashpoint of contention. Matthew Hurtt isn't just another bystander in these political skirmishes. His resume speaks volumes about his commitment to conservative causes and effective political activism. As the Director of Professional Services at the Leadership Institute, Hurrt has been instrumental in shaping the future of conservative leadership, guiding and mentoring the next generation of activists. His journey in the political arena is characterized by a string of notable roles. With Americans for Prosperity & AFP Foundation, Hurtt was at the forefront, mobilizing activists nationwide around policies fostering opportunity and prosperity. His presence at the Grassroots Leadership Academy as its public face put him at the heart of conservative strategy and action. Matthew is involved in national Republican politics, serving as an at-large delegate to both the 2012 and 2016 Republican National Conventions. Since 2013, Hurtt has served as special assistant to Virginia's Republican National Committeeman, Morton Blackwell, at regular meetings of the Republican National Committee. Hurtt has been published in numerous outlets and has appeared on local, national, and international television and radio as a pro-liberty activist. He resides in Arlington, Virginia. In this episode, we uncover his perspective on grassroots activism, tackle the complexities of engaging politically in a divided nation, and hear directly from him about his intense encounter on Election Day that caught the nation's attention. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wakeupwithpattikatter/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wakeupwithpattikatter/support
Have you voted yet? Blois Olson from the Morning Take joined Jason to talk about what's on today's ballots and the wonder of the "I Voted" sticker
Over the past few years, more and more voters have cited “action on climate” as a reason for voting the way they do.But here's the thing: lots of voters who are registered, and even those who do vote in presidential elections – don't turn out for midterms.Much less for state and local races.Millions of registered voters who list the environment or climate as their most important issue do the same. Success might not actually be about identifying and focusing on one specific issue, campaign, or candidate. It might come down to how we want to see ourselves, why we wear those little “I Voted” stickers, how we identify, and our behaviors.And that's what the Environmental Voter Project is all about, and why we are rerunning our 2022 conversation with Nathaniel Stinnett.Nathaniel founded the Environmental Voter Project in 2015 after over a decade of experience as a senior advisor, consultant, and trainer for political campaigns and issue-advocacy nonprofits, and he sits on the Board of Advisors for MIT's Environmental Solutions Initiative. He's here to help me understand the EVP's mission and tactics, and how we can help them achieve their goal of turning out more climate-focused voters this year and in the years to come.-----------Have feedback or questions?

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 2:00 We'll be off for the next two weeks and will be back on December 3rd. We talk about our Thanksgiving plans. Royals: Minutes 2:00 to 26:30 Chandra is five episodes in to The Crown. She wrote about Mou Mou, the fourth episode that goes into Mohamed Al-Fayed's backstory and connection to the royals. It's fascinating that Peter Morgan dedicated an episode to introducing the Al-Fayed family. The royals, with the exception of Diana, treated Mohamed terribly. This week, when Prince Charles and Camilla were visiting York, a 23-year-old man in the crowd threw eggs at them and missed. He also shouted “this country was built on the blood of slaves!” Camilla and Charles were taken away but everyone seemed unbothered and the security seemed lax. The man has been charged with a “public order offense.” There are photos of Charles earlier in the week talking to people while viewing eggs for some reason. Princess Kate went alone to her patronage the Rugby World Cup, and she visited the Colham Manor Children's Centre outside London where she spoke to staff about maternal mental health. We also heard that she's going to do a second Christmas Carol concert with ITV. We talk about all the junk we order online. Mike Tindall is on the reality show I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here. Sources told the press that Tindall did not clear it with King Charles ahead of time. Chandra doesn't think he should have to since he's not a working royal. Meghan's podcast examined The B Word as she calls it. She won't say the word bitch and we obviously can't relate. We love that she interviewed Robin Thede. We also got a photo of her with an “I Voted” sticker. We want Archewell merchandise. There was a story in Christopher Andersen's new book, The King: The Life of Charles III, claiming that Charles told a friend he didn't know Meghan was biracial when he first met her. I play a segment from Zoom where we talk about the royals. Chandra loves Olivia Williams as Camilla on The Crown. The actress playing Princess Anne, Claudia Harrison, is also very good. Dominic West has been giving interviews half praising and half shading King Charles. Elon Musk and Twitter: Minutes 26:30 to 30 Last week we talked about Elon Musk buying Twitter after he borrowed money and was leveraged to the hilt. This week he fired thousands of Twitter employees and a bunch of them are suing him in a class action suit for breaking employment law. He also endorsed a Republican Congress and he tweeted a meme featuring a Nazi soldier. Former twitter executives are saying he has no clue what he's doing and he's been sh-tposting constantly. He also implemented an extra checkmark, an “official” checkmark, that only lasted a few hours. Elon Musk is tanking Twitter. Comments of the Week: Minutes 30:00 to end Chandra's Comment of the Week is from BayTampaBay on the post about Penelope Knatchbull and Prince Philip's relationship. My COTW is from Abicci on the post about Rihanna's Savage x Fenty Show. Thanks for listening bitches!
