For those of you in the Granite State, I’ll be your guest in the morning on New Hampshire Public Radio’s “The Exchange,” talking about Maine’s Ranked Choice Voting odyssey.
The program, which runs from 9-10 Eastern, also features Saint Anselm College’s Erik Cleven and Connecticut Mirror Capitol bureau chief Mark Pazniokas.
I reported on the crazy twists and turns of Maine’s RCV drive for Politico back at the end of March, and on how it the voting reform effort became a partisan flashpoint in the Maine Sunday Telegram early last month.
I’ll post the audio of the conversation when it becomes available. [Update, 14:30 ET: the audio is now available at the same link.]
I was last a guest on “The Exchange” back in 2016 about American Character, the epic struggle over how to define freedom in America and how it might be resolved.
