California's election results continue to shift as mail ballots are counted days after Election Day, including changes in the Los Angeles mayoral race. We examines how different states handle ballot deadlines, ongoing election integrity debates, and what delayed vote counting means for voters and candidates.

The conversation examines declining civics proficiency among students, the importance of understanding American history and constitutional government, and efforts to teach leadership, civil discourse, and civic engagement through the lessons of the Civil Rights Movement.
