Summary
CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig into a fast moving story out of New Jersey, where thousands of people who marked themselves as non citizens somehow still ended up registered to vote, and hundreds of them actually cast ballots. The hosts trace how this same software issue is popping up in state after state, turning a supposedly rare problem into something that looks a lot bigger than officials want to admit, complete with a very awkward blame game between the governor and her own vendor. From there they pivot to a Texas Senate race where a top Democrat candidate is leaning almost entirely on one billionaire donor with some deeply uncomfortable ties to Jeffrey Epstein. They close out with a look at the Pentagon quietly running low on cash to fund the ongoing Iran conflict while Congress heads out for a month long recess. Sponsor breaks and the usual banter included.
