Free and Fair with Franita and Foley

Franita Tolson and Ned Foley pull off something very difficult—They explain the nuances of the electoral process clearly and in detail. For anyone trying to navigate the thicket of questions the 2020 election raises about where we are and where we can/should be going, this is essential listening.

As learned scholars, Professors Tolson and Foley offer accessible insight into the crazy and tangled webs of election law. Their conversations are rooted in their scholarship, but they share with listeners their unfiltered—if not, hard to embrace—views on electioneering in America. As a young election lawyer, I really appreciate their candor, and the compassion from which they try to remain both honest and level-headed. This is a program for anyone that stays up to date on voting rights in America, and wants to hear reactions about developments in this field from two of its intellectual giants.

They present the complexities of our democratic process in a digestible way. I think most Americans feel conflicted about the upcoming election—this pod will give the listener a way to hear law professors disagree on the interpretations of election process legalities and how it effects us all.
