Really enjoying this series so far. It’s nice to hear political issues covered in a narrative way, as opposed to interviews and commentary.

Fascinating episode with a bunch of stories on how people tried to rig their election. My only critique is it felt like 2 or 3 episodes combined into one.

@danny I agree and wish they wouldn’t have spent so much time on the story at the beginning. Looking forward to seeing how the balance evolves over the rest of the series.
