Last March, as the pandemic had just taken its hold on the country, Diane spoke with elections law professor Edward Foley. He warned then that the country must start preparing for the general election – which was sure to be very different from other years.
Now that we’re a few weeks away from November 3rd, Diane invited Professor Foley back on the podcast.
