Show Title: Running on Empty
Kirk, Kristin and Pat talk about the exhausting but rewarding process of getting on the ballot to run for office—and how some people who've tried to take shortcuts failed at it. They also discuss three important elections that are under the radar of most voters. And after a review of Ron Johnson's new website about "truth," they discuss the declining value of law enforcement endorsements in a period where the politicians they endorse may be hostile to some voters' rights... or voting itself.

Jim Kurz, Cheryl Moranto, Rick Bechen, Paul Demain, James Botsford, Dan Russler and Lisa Mueller. These people have filed their official declarations, giving us insight into their impetus for joining the lawsuit to remove Tom Tiffany, Scott Fitzgerald, and Ron Johnson for their despicable rhetoric around election security. The Lawsuit alleges these three individuals have cause harm, possibly irreparable harm; to the confidence and dignity of our election systems through their bad faith, cynical engagement with The Big Lie.
