Only weeks before the Ohio Primary election of 2026, Allison Russo, Ohio State Representative and Secretary of State candidate, joins the show for a somewhat tongue-in-cheek chat, a la Between Two Ferns.  Beyond the deadpan humor and left-field questions from Matt, we dig into the serious components of what the Secretary of State does and why that role is so important with keeping elections fair and safe.  In a year when the President is threatening to nationalize the election, to dispatch ICE to polling locations and block many groups from voting, this conversation is dire.
