In this episode of Fighting Matters, Jesse Walker and Mike Mahaffey make a get-out-the-vote plea ahead of the November 3 midterms. They talk about Michigan's Senate race between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, why corruption and the cost of living are moving voters in red districts, and why more people care about civics than they did ten years ago. Then they ask you to vote, and to stay involved after Election Day whichever way it goes.
