[<i>Audio link follows below.<\/i>]\n<p>It&#8217;s been a harrowing and deadly week &#8212; and weekend &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2018\/10\/28\/us\/72-hours-of-hate-in-america\/index.html?no-st=1540837086\">filled with Rightwing hate<\/a> and hate mongering (coincidentally, one week before Election Day for the most important election most of us have ever lived through). So, today we kick open the phones to callers on all of the above to get a sense of where things stand at this point and to help answer a bunch of questions about the crucial midterms.<\/p>\n<p>Listeners ring in with questions about reported voting problems and voter suppression around the country and <a href=\"https:\/\/abc13.com\/politics\/straight-party-voters-reporting-their-votes-were-changed\/4556377\/\">failing voting machines<\/a>. Also, we discuss what voters can do <i>beyond<\/i> voting to participate in democracy over the next week or so.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&#8217;s the caller who rang in to explain why he says he has never voted, and doesn&#8217;t plan to this year either. As you might imagine, both I, and a whole bunch of callers, have a few thoughts for that guy on today&#8217;s program.
