In this episode we brush up on voting rights law, because the voter suppressionists are gearing up for 2018 midterms and so must we!

Kevin and Benedict from This Week in News and This Week in History (with Kevin and Benedict) drop by to bestow enlightenment; also to argue about crumpets and figgy puddings.
