In podcast miniseries, “Voting Equals Democracy: Unpacking Voter Choice,” Rita interviews several political science professors, as well as conducts her own experiment, and uses outside research, to answer the questions: why do people value specific world issues over others? To what extent does this have an effect on the outcome of presidential elections? To this end, Rita analyzes external influences such as education, family, religion, political parties, and geography, to understand how these aspects influence voters at the polls.

With the use of her own research survey, Rita also interviews Professor Eitan Hersh from Tufts University, to evaluate the extent to which education affects voters, and further the outcome of elections.
