Listened to the podcast. When you turn 18, you’re registered to vote. If you move, your local post office becomes your polling site (100% mail in ballots).

Gerrymandering, eliminate the word. There’s no gerrymandering in VT, only one representative, state wide election. Other states can do the same. If a state is large enough to have five representatives, top five candidates go to Congress in a state wide election. You can’t assume a Democrat state will simply elect all Democrats. In VT, members of Congress are Democrats or Independent (Democratic Socialist) and our very popular governor is Republican. People will and do split their vote.

The most important legislation for US Congress is to unmask the scam of the century -- Russia-gate hoax as well as DNC/Biden-family massive corruption.. Of course, you and The Intercept will not demand that...

The entire anti-Russian narrative is a deliberate fabrication. Clapper, Brennan & Hayden trio were among top former Obama 50 intelligence officials stating that Hunter-laptop is classical “Russian disinformation”.

- They were also key promoters of the three-year Russia-gate hoax.

- They were also key intelligence executives in Obama/Biden/Hillary government – the government which hunted Snowden (forcing Bolivian plane with Bolivia’s president to land to search it) and armed Al Qaeda (including “white helmets” hoax) and staged all chemical attacks in Syria to remove its government.

Trump’s utter incompetence in handling Covid-19 created the human and economic catastrophe that will be called - Trump-virus; he brought into government religious extremism and racism.

The Russia-gate hoax and Ukraine-impeachment “entertainment” was concocted by Obama/Hillary/Biden/Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, etc. and their intelligence and DNC executives on behalf of their Wall Street and military industry donors, i.e., the imperial War party

The outrage and infamy of Intercept's chief editor Betsy Reed, Ryan Grim, James Risen & Co. is that she/they wholly accepted and still promote the Russia-gate hoax.

Intercept is now just another stenographer outfit for corporate owners and the war industry
