Hashing it Out

Miscellaneous


Weeks after Election Day, the Electoral College convened to affirm the win of President-Elect Joe Biden, yet President Trump has not shied away from his challenge to overturn the results, alleging widespread voter and election fraud. Some observers may think this is completely unprecedented, but they'd actually be wrong. There have actually been a number of contested elections from the presidential contests of 1876, 1960, and even 2000. What makes 2020 so different? My guest today is Richard Lim, he's the host of This American President podcast. On today's show, we're going to discuss the parallels between the 2020 election and the contested elections of the past, what makes this most recent election unique, and whether the country will ever heal from this current divide. "Hashing it Out" is a podcast hosted by Siraj Hashmi, Washington Examiner's commentary video editor and writer. Each episode includes a political guest to offer historical context of the news and politics of the day and insight into how we got to where we are. If you want to find the deeper meaning behind current events, then "Hashing it Out" is the podcast for you.
