00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,120
Coming up on this episode of the
Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise podcast.

2
00:00:04,370 --> 00:00:05,030
Well, let's see.

3
00:00:05,060 --> 00:00:05,560
Let's see here.

4
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:09,329
Well, a couple of things, actually,
you were speaking about him being the

5
00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:11,049
evil one, being a convicted felon.

6
00:00:11,549 --> 00:00:17,270
He would be, if he were elected, he
would be prohibited from entering about

7
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:21,330
38 different countries as a felon.

8
00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:22,230
Really?

9
00:00:22,430 --> 00:00:22,509
Okay.

10
00:00:23,270 --> 00:00:23,779
I didn't know that.

11
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:29,889
Includes Canada, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand.

12
00:00:30,790 --> 00:00:37,449
In the UK just to name a few . He would
act, he would be prohibited from that.

13
00:00:37,750 --> 00:00:43,000
And those, one of those two
famous papers that failed to

14
00:00:43,059 --> 00:00:46,030
endorse either candidate, right?

15
00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:49,540
Them broke the Watergate scandal.

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:50,680
Yes, they did.

17
00:00:50,830 --> 00:00:51,250
Yes.

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,520
Welcome to the Healthy, wealthy
and Wise Podcast, a podcast that

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,570
provides actionable information
and tools you can use to live a

20
00:00:58,570 --> 00:01:00,010
more healthy, wealthy, and well.

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,810
This is the Special Brothers
in Law edition featuring Dr.

22
00:01:04,810 --> 00:01:05,349
William T.

23
00:01:05,349 --> 00:01:10,899
Chonka, MD, and attorney Bernie Brown,
a former Los Angeles City prosecutor.

24
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:12,920
Let's join the conversation.

25
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:13,510
Yes,

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,110
but, you know, it's amazing because the
name calling, the bullying, it's gotten

27
00:01:21,110 --> 00:01:24,230
to a point where it's being rewarded.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,610
And being accepted by so many
people, the vulgarity is just, it's

29
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:30,710
horrible.

30
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:31,380
I agree.

31
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:33,170
And it's coming from one main source.

32
00:01:33,775 --> 00:01:36,435
You know, people are following the
leaders coming from one main source.

33
00:01:36,605 --> 00:01:39,455
But one of the things I find
encouraging, and I didn't think I

34
00:01:39,455 --> 00:01:44,674
would see, is the large number of
staunch Republicans who are standing

35
00:01:44,675 --> 00:01:50,260
up, members of the military who are
standing up, And saying this is wrong.

36
00:01:50,670 --> 00:01:54,990
Um, and even though we're going
to put country over party, put

37
00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:58,930
country over party, that this is
not a Democrat or Republican issue.

38
00:01:58,930 --> 00:02:00,810
And I've been both in my lifetime.

39
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:02,400
I've been in the Republican party.

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,550
I've been in the Democratic party and,
but saying this is something different.

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,199
This is, this is something
we haven't seen before.

42
00:02:09,210 --> 00:02:09,539
Yes.

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,510
And I think it is honorable that Liz
Cheney and even her dad Well, I have

44
00:02:14,530 --> 00:02:19,470
not been a fan of for a number of
years because of the previous wars and

45
00:02:19,470 --> 00:02:23,489
stuff, but even he stood up and said,
no, even, you know, this is wrong.

46
00:02:24,380 --> 00:02:24,950
Yes.

47
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:27,649
Uh, that's absolutely right.

48
00:02:27,649 --> 00:02:31,659
I'm so proud of these people
standing up for what's right.

49
00:02:31,905 --> 00:02:32,185
Yes.

50
00:02:32,255 --> 00:02:34,894
You know, it's not a, at some
point it gets to the point

51
00:02:34,894 --> 00:02:36,394
where it's not about party.

52
00:02:36,445 --> 00:02:37,535
It's not about winning.

53
00:02:37,734 --> 00:02:40,625
It's about just what is right.

54
00:02:40,775 --> 00:02:41,394
Exactly.

55
00:02:41,595 --> 00:02:45,074
I'm absolutely proud of these
people and I've said it before

56
00:02:45,074 --> 00:02:46,394
and I'll just say it again.

57
00:02:46,885 --> 00:02:49,695
I'm afraid of both consequences.

58
00:02:49,885 --> 00:02:53,394
I'm afraid that if Trump loses, he will.

59
00:02:54,809 --> 00:02:55,749
Insurrection.

60
00:02:55,940 --> 00:03:01,190
Certainly he will try to cause, you
know, like he did before he'll get people

61
00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:04,650
all riled up and there'll be violence.

62
00:03:04,679 --> 00:03:08,459
I think there is a strong
probability, probability that if

63
00:03:08,459 --> 00:03:11,540
he loses, there will be violence.

64
00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:13,116
No, go ahead.

65
00:03:13,116 --> 00:03:13,642
Good.

66
00:03:13,642 --> 00:03:20,180
On the other hand, I think if he
wins, I think inevitably You know he

67
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:22,390
falls out with everybody over time.

68
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:23,130
Oh yeah.

69
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,650
And I just don't want to see that
day when he falls out with Putin

70
00:03:26,650 --> 00:03:28,850
and starts calling Putin names.

71
00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:36,309
Well see I worry less about that because
I think if he loses he will be in jail.

72
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:43,575
There are a number of cases out
there that he's very selectively been

73
00:03:43,575 --> 00:03:46,894
able to use his attorneys to delay
and delay and certain people in the

74
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:52,024
judiciary, who I won't name, but, but
who may or will be a little suspect.

75
00:03:52,695 --> 00:03:57,815
But the last time he created havoc was
when he was in power in, in Washington.

76
00:03:58,015 --> 00:03:59,125
He is not in power.

77
00:03:59,584 --> 00:04:01,855
He's trying to get back to where he was.

78
00:04:02,165 --> 00:04:04,755
And my point is, if he
loses, he won't get back.

79
00:04:05,369 --> 00:04:05,959
He won't give it.

80
00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:07,670
He will be a convicted felon.

81
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:11,440
Uh, he won't be able to
vote in certain places.

82
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:14,140
And I think his whole
power will be diminished.

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,930
Now he's not going to go away completely.

84
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,659
And the people who follow
him won't go away completely.

85
00:04:18,909 --> 00:04:23,480
But I, I'm not concerned that it's going
to be anything near what January 6th was.

86
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:25,260
I'm hoping you're right.

87
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:27,530
You are a brilliant man.

88
00:04:27,790 --> 00:04:29,370
So I'm hoping you're right.

89
00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:37,020
I go back to this entirely different
subject, but I go back to the years

90
00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:41,539
when I was a young man and there were
tanks driving down the street and

91
00:04:41,539 --> 00:04:44,049
they were saying, burn baby, burn.

92
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:45,460
I was on the radio.

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,470
I remember that.

94
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:48,420
The Watts riots.

95
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:49,099
Yes.

96
00:04:49,929 --> 00:04:53,249
And it was like, man,
I couldn't believe it.

97
00:04:53,785 --> 00:04:58,365
Military tanks driving down the
street down Vermont Avenue, you

98
00:04:58,365 --> 00:05:02,914
know, burning up and looting and
fires and all of this and they're

99
00:05:02,915 --> 00:05:04,545
like, No, I don't believe this.

100
00:05:04,895 --> 00:05:07,525
Well, I can tell you I was in 1968.

101
00:05:07,554 --> 00:05:08,395
I was in college.

102
00:05:08,395 --> 00:05:09,744
I was a junior in college.

103
00:05:10,194 --> 00:05:15,465
And believe it or not, I had been elected
to student council president elect.

104
00:05:15,794 --> 00:05:20,194
In 1968, and this was April of 1968.

105
00:05:20,645 --> 00:05:24,554
And I never forget, you know, that was
an assassination that had occurred.

106
00:05:24,554 --> 00:05:28,374
And that, you know, there were rides
everywhere, all over the place.

107
00:05:28,414 --> 00:05:32,645
And, and the, the Dean of students came to
me and said, you know, we, we've got these

108
00:05:32,675 --> 00:05:36,314
tanks, then we had tanks on our campus
on a car, cause they were concerned about

109
00:05:36,414 --> 00:05:38,824
the colleges, particularly the HBCUs.

110
00:05:39,224 --> 00:05:43,674
And he said, the Dean of students
said, you are the city as a

111
00:05:43,674 --> 00:05:45,215
student council president.

112
00:05:45,485 --> 00:05:49,705
And I said, no, sir, I'm sitting
a student council president elect.

113
00:05:50,225 --> 00:05:55,284
And he said, well, the president
has just stepped down because he

114
00:05:55,284 --> 00:05:57,165
says he's a senior and he's done.

115
00:06:01,665 --> 00:06:02,995
That's exactly what he said.

116
00:06:03,594 --> 00:06:07,975
But I learned, I can tell you,
I learned some very important

117
00:06:07,975 --> 00:06:12,695
lessons that in the midst of all
that fear and anger and confusion.

118
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,410
You can find common ground and basically
all they needed me to do was to go

119
00:06:18,430 --> 00:06:23,220
with the leadership of the university
downtown to the city in the deep

120
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:26,889
south to meet with the representatives
of the city in the deep south to

121
00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:30,559
let them know that at my college we
weren't going to do anything crazy.

122
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:33,590
And they needed to hear it
from a student representative.

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,670
And I basically didn't say very
much, I just listened to the adults

124
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:39,389
in the room talk or whatever.

125
00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:42,339
But my point is, it gave me hope.

126
00:06:42,339 --> 00:06:47,339
It gave me hope that no matter how
dark things look, you can find some

127
00:06:47,350 --> 00:06:49,959
people who can walk to the middle
of the room or the middle of the

128
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:55,210
field and sit down and have a decent
conversation and come up with a solution.

129
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:56,114
You are fantastic.

130
00:06:56,114 --> 00:06:57,225
Those people do exist.

131
00:06:57,225 --> 00:06:58,310
I'd vote for you

132
00:06:58,310 --> 00:06:58,690
any day.

133
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:02,490
I'm not running for anything.

134
00:07:03,980 --> 00:07:05,260
You got my vote, buddy.

135
00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:13,279
I just always say like, like you,
I have kids and grandkids, so I'm

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,500
gonna, I'm gonna turn all this
over to my kids and grandkids.

137
00:07:16,780 --> 00:07:17,280
I, I, you know,

138
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,589
I'm at the end of my rope, but we'll see.

139
00:07:22,589 --> 00:07:25,260
And certainly we will, we will
have a conversation next month.

140
00:07:25,410 --> 00:07:31,400
Well, after November 5th, and we
can sort of see where, where things

141
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,100
are and where the country is.

142
00:07:34,260 --> 00:07:35,630
Sounds great, man.

143
00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:36,980
Thank you for having me.

144
00:07:36,980 --> 00:07:39,100
It's been a wonderful conversation.

145
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:43,230
Well, thank you as always for
coming and you're always so grateful

146
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:48,690
and so kind to us to share your
very, very precious time with us.

147
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,140
Before we let you go, Jesse, did
you have any questions for Attorney

148
00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:54,520
Brown before we let him go?

149
00:07:54,769 --> 00:07:55,450
Well, let's see.

150
00:07:55,450 --> 00:07:55,950
Let's see here.

151
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:57,300
Well, a couple of things, actually.

152
00:07:57,459 --> 00:08:01,440
You were speaking about him being the
evil one, being a convicted felon.

153
00:08:01,450 --> 00:08:04,360
Um, he would be, if he were elected.

154
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:11,730
He will be prohibited from entering
about 38 different countries as a felon.

155
00:08:11,730 --> 00:08:21,380
And this includes Canada, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand, and

156
00:08:21,380 --> 00:08:23,550
the UK, just to name a few.

157
00:08:23,550 --> 00:08:27,840
He will be prohibited from that.

158
00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:35,409
And those, one of those two famous Papers
that failed to endorse either candidate.

159
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:36,409
Right.

160
00:08:37,430 --> 00:08:39,980
Broke the Watergate scandal.

161
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:40,990
Yes, they did.

162
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:41,790
Yes.

163
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,980
And Woodward and Bernstein, but
particularly Woodward was very critical.

164
00:08:47,330 --> 00:08:51,860
Um, of that organization, but the theory
is that if one, if this person were to

165
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:56,779
win, he would just make it all go away,
you know, he'd, he'd, he'd fire Jack Smith

166
00:08:56,780 --> 00:08:58,550
and he'd, he'd, he'd get rid of all that.

167
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:03,040
Well, he can make the federal
cases go away, but not state.

168
00:09:03,259 --> 00:09:04,049
That's true.

169
00:09:04,099 --> 00:09:04,620
That's true.

170
00:09:04,620 --> 00:09:04,760
You're

171
00:09:04,939 --> 00:09:05,069
right.

172
00:09:05,109 --> 00:09:07,480
He can make a lot of it go
away, but not all of it.

173
00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:08,350
That's true.

174
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,610
Some of the charges are
state related charges.

175
00:09:11,730 --> 00:09:12,610
Right, right.

176
00:09:12,610 --> 00:09:13,770
Would not go away.

177
00:09:13,770 --> 00:09:13,824
Right.

178
00:09:14,435 --> 00:09:14,935
Good point.

179
00:09:15,015 --> 00:09:15,705
Good point.

180
00:09:15,705 --> 00:09:16,145
Good point.

181
00:09:16,665 --> 00:09:23,075
Yes, it'll be interesting as I keep
saying, but it will be interesting.

182
00:09:23,284 --> 00:09:24,484
That would be great, wouldn't it?

183
00:09:26,175 --> 00:09:27,755
Like, Oh no, you can't come and hug me.

184
00:09:31,345 --> 00:09:31,535
But

185
00:09:31,535 --> 00:09:36,215
we're not allowing you Based on our rules

186
00:09:37,445 --> 00:09:41,895
Brother Bernie, did you ask did you
explain kind of what the original

187
00:09:41,925 --> 00:09:44,144
purpose of the Electoral College was?

188
00:09:44,485 --> 00:09:49,904
Well, it started off and it's still
one of the arguments that's made under

189
00:09:49,914 --> 00:09:54,845
modern day circumstances And that is
that it started off to protect The

190
00:09:54,845 --> 00:10:03,365
smaller states and there is a slightly
racial side to it because the South

191
00:10:03,795 --> 00:10:09,605
historically, you know, blacks were not
allowed to vote and we're not counted as

192
00:10:09,645 --> 00:10:14,275
part of the population or we're counted
as only three fifths of the population.

193
00:10:14,575 --> 00:10:18,605
So the South felt as though, Oh,
we're getting, we're getting kind of.

194
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:23,849
The steep end of the deal here we
get because we are getting a true

195
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:25,910
count for our true population.

196
00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:30,149
Well, it's kind of their own fault,
but in any event, so this was part of

197
00:10:30,149 --> 00:10:36,730
a compromise to a certain degree due to
create the electoral college to protect.

198
00:10:37,090 --> 00:10:41,940
the ability of states to independently
cast their votes and to be

199
00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:44,600
represented on a national level.

200
00:10:44,990 --> 00:10:53,269
It was felt at some point that if you had
a situation where it was totally majority

201
00:10:53,269 --> 00:11:01,420
rule that that would take away protections
and create a tyranny, shall we say, of,

202
00:11:01,470 --> 00:11:06,750
against the minorities, that, that the
majority could basically overwhelm and

203
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,440
dominate the minorities, and so, it was
kind of all the reverse arguments, but the

204
00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:19,940
primary historical context was the, of the
creation, was to protect smaller states,

205
00:11:20,190 --> 00:11:23,690
and to protect their ability to be heard.

206
00:11:24,130 --> 00:11:30,045
The, as you know, the other side
of the argument is That you want

207
00:11:30,055 --> 00:11:32,925
to protect the overall population.

208
00:11:33,875 --> 00:11:40,055
And the president should not be committed
to any individual states, but should be

209
00:11:40,165 --> 00:11:45,934
committed on behalf of the individual
population of each individual person.

210
00:11:46,395 --> 00:11:51,035
And so, you know, the arguments,
they sway back and forth.

211
00:11:52,375 --> 00:11:57,834
But it primarily came from the idea
to protect the southern states.

212
00:11:58,230 --> 00:12:00,189
So that their voice would be heard.

213
00:12:00,875 --> 00:12:03,125
through an electoral college process.

214
00:12:03,255 --> 00:12:07,965
Well, along those lines, what are
your thoughts on the electoral college

215
00:12:08,245 --> 00:12:13,585
being a form of voter suppression,
especially in those Southern states?

216
00:12:13,735 --> 00:12:16,774
I don't, I don't see it as a, a form of.

217
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:18,150
Suppression.

218
00:12:18,690 --> 00:12:21,280
I mean, it, it has urging the vote.

219
00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:27,880
Well, I think people are going to
go out there and vote and they, and

220
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,360
they've been encouraged to vote.

221
00:12:29,430 --> 00:12:34,009
They're going to vote and they,
their votes will be counted.

222
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,480
At least the votes that they vote for
the slate of their electors in each

223
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:44,000
individual state because they're voting
actually for a slate of electors.

224
00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:46,689
And so their votes will be counted.

225
00:12:46,864 --> 00:12:48,114
In that regard.

226
00:12:48,425 --> 00:12:54,105
And so, uh, I'm not sure that
it's used to thwart the vote.

227
00:12:54,415 --> 00:12:59,335
It does, as I, as I referred
to tangentially earlier, it

228
00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:02,455
does to some degree distort it.

229
00:13:02,615 --> 00:13:05,485
And disproportionately represent the vote.

230
00:13:05,775 --> 00:13:09,565
That's the reason why we've had
a situation where a candidate

231
00:13:09,565 --> 00:13:14,685
who has won the popular vote, the
majority vote has actually lost

232
00:13:15,245 --> 00:13:16,184
the election

233
00:13:17,074 --> 00:13:21,955
through the electoral college
because it's the representation, the

234
00:13:21,955 --> 00:13:27,965
representation, I should say, is not
like one to one in the electoral college.

235
00:13:28,375 --> 00:13:34,255
In a smaller state, a candidate,
an elector, might represent

236
00:13:34,574 --> 00:13:36,084
a few thousand people.

237
00:13:36,175 --> 00:13:40,515
In a larger state, the
representative might represent

238
00:13:40,535 --> 00:13:42,285
tens of thousands of persons.

239
00:13:42,524 --> 00:13:48,825
That's one per tens of thousands versus
one per a few thousand, which means that

240
00:13:48,825 --> 00:13:55,290
that candidate Or electorate, I should
say, who represents the smaller state has

241
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:58,260
disproportionately more representation.

242
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:04,399
And that's what results in an election
base that's contrary to the popular vote.

243
00:14:04,569 --> 00:14:09,970
Like I said earlier, you could see a
situation where 11 states determine

244
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,730
the actual election of presidency.

245
00:14:14,104 --> 00:14:15,584
But, you know what?

246
00:14:15,785 --> 00:14:20,214
You could see a situation where it's
the bottom of the ninth inning, there's

247
00:14:20,255 --> 00:14:27,415
two outs, the bases are loaded, and
the team that's, uh, that has two outs

248
00:14:27,415 --> 00:14:29,925
against it is about to lose the game.

249
00:14:30,135 --> 00:14:33,965
And then there's a grand slam
home run that saves the game.

250
00:14:33,965 --> 00:14:35,485
Actually, it's the bottom
of the 10th inning.

251
00:14:36,814 --> 00:14:38,175
It's never happened before.

252
00:14:40,095 --> 00:14:42,155
Well, it's got to be interesting.

253
00:14:42,175 --> 00:14:43,415
It's got to be interesting.

254
00:14:43,445 --> 00:14:43,555
I'm

255
00:14:43,805 --> 00:14:45,245
talking about the Dodgers and the Yankees.

256
00:14:46,835 --> 00:14:48,505
I'm not sure whether you
guys follow the basics.

257
00:14:48,505 --> 00:14:50,434
I got

258
00:14:50,435 --> 00:14:50,564
that one.

259
00:14:50,564 --> 00:14:51,875
I did not get that one.

260
00:14:51,875 --> 00:14:52,755
I said, okay.

261
00:14:53,715 --> 00:14:55,974
You see, I could hear like,
what is he talking about?

262
00:14:57,095 --> 00:14:58,434
I was like, oh, yeah.

263
00:14:58,435 --> 00:15:03,225
The point is, once in
history, something happens.

264
00:15:03,415 --> 00:15:06,245
Yes, yes, that's true,
but once in history,

265
00:15:06,665 --> 00:15:11,105
and people are having, we're
having record voting right now, you

266
00:15:11,105 --> 00:15:14,715
know, from Georgia and some of the
other places in the South, right?

267
00:15:14,924 --> 00:15:16,054
Yeah, you're right.

268
00:15:16,054 --> 00:15:21,085
Parting thought for me, thank
God for attorneys like attorney

269
00:15:21,095 --> 00:15:23,155
Bernie Brown and Mark Elias.

270
00:15:23,555 --> 00:15:23,915
That's it.

271
00:15:25,219 --> 00:15:25,400
Okay,

272
00:15:25,839 --> 00:15:26,969
well, thank you.

273
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,877
Thank God for you and for Dr.

274
00:15:32,877 --> 00:15:34,052
Choctaw

275
00:15:34,052 --> 00:15:36,404
and for

276
00:15:36,404 --> 00:15:37,579
Kamala.

277
00:15:37,579 --> 00:15:43,420
So, Bernard, do you have any parting
comments for us as we let you go

278
00:15:43,469 --> 00:15:45,050
to enjoy the rest of your day?

279
00:15:45,050 --> 00:15:49,140

very famous former president.

Good

282
00:15:53,145 --> 00:15:53,935
point.

283
00:15:53,935 --> 00:15:55,514

284
00:15:55,515 --> 00:15:56,975

Voting Rights: A Fight for Democracy's Future

Introduction In our latest podcast episode, America at a Crossroads: The Legal, Social, and Ethical Future of Voting, attorney Bernie Brown and I, Dr. Choctaw, engaged in a critical conversation about the state of voting rights in the United States…
