Still Counting's Clare Malone and Galen Druke join host Molly Jong-Fast to dig into early voting trends and what they might reveal about turnout and party strength. Galen explains how voting behavior has shifted since the pandemic and why low-propensity Democratic voters may be turning out at higher rates in places like Georgia, North Carolina and Texas, while Clare makes the case that this year feels different because voters are so engaged by issues like affordability, war and redistricting. They also unpack how candidates are trying to connect with "normal" voters, especially in states like Texas and Michigan, and what early results in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Maine and Alaska could signal on election night. Then they turn to the headlines, from reporting that Brazil is investigating contacts tied to J.D. Vance's Rockbridge Network to Hasan Piker's defamation fight with Scott Jennings over edited clips, criticism of a controversial ad tied to Vivek Ramaswamy, the ongoing targeting of James Comey and Cassidy Hutchinson, and the legal fallout for James O'Keefe and an associate over a voter fraud stunt in Minnesota.
