How can American democracy work better for "Busy People"?
Special | 18m 10s
Kevin Elliot, professor at Yale and author of "Democracy for Busy People," joins.
We sit down with Kevin Elliot, professor at Yale University and author of the new book "Democracy for Busy People," to discuss possible fixes to make our democracy more inclusive and accessible for all voters. From large-scale concepts like mandatory voting in Australia or ranked-choice voting in Alaska and Maine, to more bureaucratic, minute details like voter registration and polling locations.
