Zoe chases the reporter, you might know, zoie's voice from this american life. She's the one telling political stories that are so entertaining. You forget their political stories, which I guess tells you what I think of most political stories.
But zi stories always a lot of fighting, lot of strong, specific personalities. They're fun. This one's no different IT deals with election fraud or really accusations of election fraud.
The whole story takes place in this role, county in north Caroline, a bladen county, and then to get brand dios. But for me, watching what unfolded there over the past ten years, IT was like a portal to understanding our current situation as a country. You can listen to all five episodes of the improvement association right now.
They're right here on your cereal feed. So convenient. Here's away with a trailer.

bleeding county, north CarOlina, it's probably for its high profile election related corruption.
So you are filling in the oval and voting for other people, right? yes. You are voting other people's about yes, right?

republican mark eris beat out his democratic opponent for a congressional sea, only to have the Victory reversed after his campaign was investigated for absented ballot fraud. Democrats like to talk about this scandal because it's republicans who did IT. Republicans like to talk about the scandal without talking about who did IT, because IT proves election fraud is real.
IT can happen. I like talking about this scandal because there's a story behind IT that most people don't know. And IT helps explain how we got here, here being how we, the united states, have become merely on done by endless accusations of fraud and stolen elections down in bleeding county, where the congressional scandal took place.
There are many people who believe the journalists, the authorities, all of us. We've got this whole story wrong. They see the real election. Cheaters are still at work in the county. Bullying, tampering ing, stealing boats.
The story behind this .
one election, the only time in recent history that a congressional election was thrown out for fraud, is actually the story of a series of elections, of elections fights fuelled by personal bridges and petty beef s and family history and history, history, and about the oldest fight of all the fight for the black vote.
This is strictly opinion. You know that, right? IT was almost like they realize that .
we weren't down.
Like, okay, thanks smart. IT maybe too smart .
for they're all good .
