200+ Years of Some Voters Matter

There's a lot of questions, disgust & even despair about our elections, especially in this year's presidential contest. History teacher and recent congressional candidate Myron Buchholz can put the experience in context of 200+ years of democracy in the US. Why the electoral college, who could vote, how can people be prevented from voting, and do our votes count, historically and currently - these are some of the questions. There's power, and even relief, in knowing the history, and in finding our way into our best future.

Myron mentions the PoliticalCompass.org website and test, which you may wish to check out.
