I'm excited to actually be able to take part in voting for the election, the first presidential election I get to vote on, so I'm looking forward to it. My vote can make a big difference. Our country is in our hands voting. We're supposed to know how this works, right after all, it's the cornerstone of our democracy. At the ballot box, everyone has to say. Regardless of how you vote, I urge each of you to vote. In the democracy. The right to vote is the most powerful,
non voluntary we have. All of us in America heavy duty to vote. Vote. But the reality of how voting works in America and who gets to do it is not as fair or clear cut as we like to tell ourselves. Long lines and confusion at polling places as are members of the Turtle Mountain tribe were turned away from the pools into tonight. A backlog of undelivered mail is piling up in post offices. And I'm Katie Curic, and this is Turnout, a podcast to exploring America's voting record.
As long as there's been a right to vote, there have been ways to suppress it, and over the years those tactics have gotten a little sneakier and harder to find, but not impossible. So this fall we're going to talk about it, talk about the ways voters have been kept out of the system and how to ensure that everyone can participate in our democracy. Turn Out launches October one. Find it on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcast,
or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Oh and in the meantime, check your voter registration to make sure you can vote on November three. I'd come here to urge every person under the sound of my boss to go to the polls on the third of November and vote
