Emily and Samie celebrate Election Day with their trademark mix of humor and real-talk civics. From ballot tracking and signature checks to how votes are counted and why write-ins cost money, they break down Washington’s election process in plain language.

The episode also touches on local races, the “No Kings” rally, and how to turn protest energy into real action. Join the sass, laughs, and side-eye for bad candidates. It’s civics made fun and unapologetically real.
