Podcasts about Voter turnout

Election season is heating up, but are the polls telling voters the full story? Tudor Dixon sits down with veteran pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner at McLaughlin & Associates and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, for an inside look at the battle for Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. McLaughlin breaks down the razor-thin Michigan Senate race, why he believes Republicans need to sharpen their message, and how turnout could ultimately determine control of the House and Senate. He also explains why he questions some national polling methodologies and argues that Republicans must take their case directly to voters rather than relying on traditional media. The conversation dives into Mike Rogers and the Michigan Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Medicare for All, taxes, housing affordability, voter ID and proof of citizenship, as well as Republican proposals that McLaughlin believes could help define a national midterm agenda. Tudor and McLaughlin also examine Democratic primary results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida, the growing influence of democratic socialist candidates, concerns surrounding political fundraising and foreign money, and what both parties' strategies could mean for the balance of power in Washington. With the 2026 midterms approaching, McLaughlin says Republicans cannot simply run on President Trump's accomplishments—they need to clearly tell voters what comes next and define the choice facing the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The reasoning is the interesting part. Rogers's team reportedly believes AIPAC spending would backfire and help El-Sayed, which is roughly what happened in the primary, where heavy spending on Haley Stevens preceded her loss. At a Myrtle Beach rally for Darlene Graham, Trump said out loud what Republicans have been worrying about privately: his voters do not turn out when he is not on the ballot. Hawk pairs that with what has happened to gas, groceries, and utility bills since January. Then a useful explainer on the Lindsay Clancy case, prompted by Jonathan Turley. An insanity defense necessarily concedes the underlying act and argues criminal responsibility, and burdens of proof vary by state. Last, Flock CEO Garrett Langley on Fox arguing privacy cannot be the primary concern.

Michigan could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate in 2026—and veteran Republican strategist Stu Sandler joins Lisa Boothe to explain why this race is one of the most consequential in the country. Drawing on decades of experience in Michigan politics, Sandler breaks down the high-stakes matchup between Republican Mike Rogers and Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, examining campaign strategy, voter coalitions, turnout, and the issues that could decide the election. The conversation also explores whether Michigan has truly become a swing state, how President Trump's coalition reshaped the political landscape, why Republicans believe they can flip the Senate seat, and how Democrats are balancing progressive activism with broader general election appeal. Sandler also offers his outlook on the battle for control of both the Senate and House, along with what the Democratic Party could look like after the Trump era. If you're following the 2026 midterm elections, Michigan politics, or the fight for Senate control, this episode provides an insider's analysis of one of the nation's most important races.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Political strategist and pollster Chris Wilson joins Lisa Boothe to break down the state of the 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party's turnout problem, the Democratic Party's move to the left and why traditional political polling is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. Wilson, CEO of Eyes Over Technologies, explains why Republicans are facing a challenging but highly competitive midterm environment. While history favors Democrats and Republican voter intensity remains a concern, the GOP could benefit from the Senate map, redistricting and Democratic candidates who may be too far left for their states. So what should Republicans actually campaign on? Wilson argues that the winning message comes down to four words: affordability, security, trust and confidence. He explains why candidates should focus on the cost of groceries and everyday life, public safety, competent government and delivering tangible results for voters rather than relying on generic attacks about socialism. Lisa and Chris also examine critical Senate races in Michigan, Alaska, North Carolina, Ohio and elsewhere, along with the challenge of getting lower-propensity Trump voters back to the polls when Donald Trump himself isn't on the ballot. Then they tackle one of the biggest questions in modern politics: Can we still trust the polls? Wilson explains how declining response rates, inaccurate turnout models, early voting and rapidly changing public opinion are making traditional polling increasingly complicated. Finally, Wilson explains how artificial intelligence, online conversation analysis and real-time narrative tracking could transform political campaigns by showing not just where voters stand today, but where public opinion is moving heading into Election Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the Graham machine using open primaries to hijack South Carolina elections?

Is the Graham machine using open primaries to hijack South Carolina elections?

The Downballot ran the numbers on 110 special elections since January 2025. Democrats are outrunning Kamala Harris's 2024 margins by 12.5 points on average and Joe Biden's 2020 numbers by 8.4. That implies a roughly 12 point environment in House and Senate races, slightly better than what the same measure showed heading into 2018, when Democrats gained 40 House seats. Brandon Dukes just flipped Pennsylvania's 12th, the 31st legislative flip of the cycle. Democrats have won every one. Ron Brownstein's piece for CNN gets at the other half. The risk to Republicans is subtraction rather than addition: low propensity Trump voters who turn out only when his name is on the ballot, and it will not be on one again. Meanwhile Democratic primary turnout is hitting numbers not seen in decades. Nearly 800,000 in Wisconsin, 1.5 million in Michigan, surges in Texas and Georgia. In Alaska's primary, Mary Peltola outpolled Dan Sullivan by four points. James Talarico's numbers in Texas are worth a look too.

The segment opens with host Charlie James reporting the death of ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard, who passed away in hospice care at age 77, and shares a tribute from bandmate Billy Gibbons. Transitioning to local politics, Charlie speaks with a caller named Roger from Taylors about the upcoming South Carolina elections. They discuss low expected voter turnout, estimated between 6% and 11%, and emphasize the power of WRD's listening audience to influence the race if more conservative voters turn out. Charlie questions the endorsements surrounding candidate Darlene Graham Nardone, comparing candidate scrutiny to past comments made by Lindsey Graham regarding Donald Trump. Throughout the segment, Charlie answers listener questions regarding voter eligibility, confirming that individuals who missed the primary or initial runoff are still eligible to vote, while critically reflecting on the political establishment represented at the recent Silver Elephant banquet in Columbia.

Kinzinger's concern matches Hawk's. Not whether it would be legal, since the Constitution gives the president no role in elections and states and counties run them, but whether courts could move fast enough if it happened days before voting, and what enforcement would look like after an order issued. The political picture explains the temptation. Approval at record lows, a wide primary turnout gap, and a chunk of Republican voters who only show up when Trump is on the ballot. Register, and have a plan to vote.

It's finally here. Primary Day! What can we expect? Blois Olson joined Vineeta with a primer on the WCCO Morning News.

In this segment, Charlie James opens the phone lines to local callers providing live voting updates and reactions on Primary Day. Callers like Mike in Greenville discuss a statistic regarding low Christian voter turnout, prompting Charlie to stress the importance of civic participation. Other callers share local precinct turnout numbers from across the Upstate and debate the candidates in the race, including Darlene Graham Nardone. The segment highlights the imperative for voters to get out to the polls before 7:00 PM rather than sitting on the sidelines.

In Hour 3, Segment 1 of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James interviews Elena Moore from Palmetto State Watch regarding South Carolina's $44.4 billion budget. They discuss transparency concerns, including $377 million in unaccounted earmarks using "$1 placeholders," a reduced $75,000 homestead exemption, and $150 million allocated to Scout Motors. Charlie criticizes state spending and encourages listeners to support the Freedom Caucus. The segment concludes with calls from local voters reporting precinct turnout numbers and voting locations across Clover, Chesnee, and Greenville.

Host Charlie James opens the segment by addressing why candidate Darlene Graham is listed on the primary ballot under that name rather than her married surname, pointing out that candidate nickname/name rules allow it, as evidenced by candidate Duke Buckner being listed by his preferred name instead of Dwayne. Callers then join the show to report high early and election-day turnout numbers from precincts across Travelers Rest, Easley, Spartanburg, Greenville, Starr, and Anderson. Listeners share their candidate preferences—with several supporting Ralph Norman, Mark Lynch, and Russell Fry—and discuss voter enthusiasm, precinct location changes, and voting machine issues resolved on site.

During Hour 4 of the August 11, 2026 Primary Day edition of The Charlie James Show on News/Talk 98.9 WORD, host Charlie James counts down the final hour before polls close across South Carolina while continuing live election coverage. Throughout the hour, James fields phone calls from voters across the Upstate—including Pacolet, Boiling Springs, Simpsonville, Williamston, Greenville, and Landrum—who report precinct turnout numbers, voting location changes, and candidate selections, with notable support voiced for Ralph Norman and Mark Lynch. In addition to local voter reports, James addresses national campaign finance filings, criticizes Democratic candidate Dr. Annie Andrews over late-term abortion legislation, and discusses media coverage of presidential security before transitioning into extended post-election coverage.

During Hour 3 of the August 11, 2026 Primary Day edition of The Charlie James Show on News/Talk 98.9 WORD, host Charlie James breaks down major state political developments while receiving real-time turnout reports from Upstate voters. The hour opens with an interview featuring Elena Moore of Palmetto State Watch, who details transparency concerns and hidden earmarks in South Carolina's $44.4 billion budget, including $150 million for Scout Motors. Throughout the remaining segments, James fields calls from listeners sharing precinct turnout numbers and polling location updates from communities across Clover, Chesnee, Greenville, Powdersville, and Easley. In addition to primary election updates, James and his callers discuss climate policy regulations, media silence regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci's communications, cultural assimilation, and abortion legislation, with James issuing sharp criticism aimed at candidate Dr. Annie Andrews.

In this episode of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James delivers a passionate critique of the political landscape, focusing heavily on what he views as a growing threat from socialist elements within the Democratic Party. He argues that radical progressives and groups like the Democratic Socialists of America are attempting to dismantle core American institutions, warning that their influence is steadily expanding among younger voters. Turnkey to his argument is a call to action for Republicans; James insists that conservative lawmakers must take aggressive stance—including being open to eliminating the Senate filibuster to pass crucial legislation like the "SAVE America Act"—rather than yielding power through inaction. Furthermore, he addresses the electoral power of Christian voters, expressing frustration over statistics showing low voter turnout among them, while highlighting how opposition movements actively mobilize in local churches and communities.

The mainstream media alleged the 2020 voter turnout was about 60%... When in reality, the 2020 voter turnout was actually around 95%, which is a catastrophic indicator of a FRAUDULENT ELECTION. The reason the mainstream media is wrong is because they took the number of votes divided by the over 18 population, which does NOT equal voter turnout. Voter turnout is the number of votes divided by the number of registered voters. This is because "population over 18" includes people who are eligible to vote, but are not registered, it includes non-citizens who legally can't vote, it includes felons who can't vote, it includes mentally incapacitated people who can't vote, etc. So, the over 18 population is greater than the number of registered voters. If you take the number of votes reported in 2020 and divide by the over 18 population, 60% is higher than 53% to 54% average, but plausible. If you take the reported number of votes divided by the actual number of registered voters, you get around a reported 95%, which clearly shows that 2020 was a fraudulent election.

This year, six of Canada's ten provinces and one of it's three territories have held or will be holding municipal elections. It's a level of governance that tends to get the least amount of engagement from Canadians, and yet it's also the one that can most directly affect our lives. So what do our city councils do for us? Why do we pay so little attention? Why is turnout so low? And what might be done to increase turnout in elections coming up this fall? Host Caryn Ceolin speaks with John Michael McGrath, a writer and host at TVO about the importance of municipalities, and why we seem to care so little about them.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – America's urban-rural turnout divide reveals how attention, trust, and civic action shape elections nationwide. As misinformation, energy prices, foreign policy, and local concerns collide, voters face a clear choice: retreat into outrage or show up for facts, accountability, and practical leadership that affects everyday life in towns, counties, and communities...
