Our Changing Democracy: Non-Partisan Primaries, Internet Voting

September 21, 2023·16m

Closed primaries — where only members of that political party can vote — are effectively the final say in the vast majority of House of Representatives elections. Can open primary elections help incentive candidates to work toward consensus? And 300,000 people voted via the web in 2020. And, yes, the tech makes elections experts really worried. This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, and voting correspondent Miles Parks. The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Elena Moore.
