Professor of Political
Science at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Andrew Reynolds studies democracies and governments around the
globe. When he analyzed his home state of North Carolina, he was surprised to
find that it scored as poorly as authoritarian states and pseudo-democracies
like Cuba, Indonesia and Sierra Leone. He joins me today to explain why North
Carolina can no longer call its elections democratic, and what practices we
should pay attention to in evaluating and improving our governments.
This sure has been
another crazy week in politics what with Trump Tweeting threats about nuclear
capabilities, the Attorney General launching a new war on drugs, and a move to
open up offshore oil drilling. Joining
me today to help us wrap up the week in politics is Eleanor Clift the Washington correspondent for The Daily Beast,
where she covers the White House and writes about politics and culture.
