Description

Ignominious presidential candidates, voter disenfranchisement, ignored laws, news media failure, tarnished principles of American Democracy - it all leads to the wrong guy ending up in the White House.

Are Jordan and George (@instageorgious) talking about the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election or the upcoming one in 2020? Well, frankly, they’re not so sure themselves.

Picking up from Part I, Part II covers the Bush v. Gore Supreme Court case, the dismantling of voting rights in the 21st century, what kind of hell to prepare for in November 2020, and why the Nancy Pelosis of the world can’t save us.
