INTERVIEW: Isaac talks with Nick Troiano...

About this episode

Today we are going to be releasing an interview we did with Nick Troiano, who's coming back on the podcast for the second time. Nick is the Executive Director of Unite America, an organization trying to spread election reform all across the United States. We thought this interview was timely because we just had a very impactful mayoral race in New York City that was determined by rank choice voting. This interview was recorded back in April so we didn't get his perspective on Zohran Mamdani and what happened in New York City, but we did get to talk to him about similar election reforms that are spreading all across the country.


Looking ahead, I am thrilled to announce that we're actually going to be partnering with Unite America to do some more in-depth reporting and explanatory videos discussing how we might be able to change some of our elections for the better. They are some of the leading experts on election reform in the country. They're actually on the ground trying to make many of these changes.


We have tons more content coming, but we thought this would be a great one to get out to you guys now. I hope you guys enjoy this interview.
