Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Barb McQuaid, Jill Wine Banks, and me, Joyce

fans. Don't worry, Kim will be back next week, but I have a feeling we are going to really

miss her this go-round. Please remember, you can check out our merch store because we love

seeing you wear our t-shirts and our sweatshirts out and about. Go to politicon.com slash

merch, and remember to send us a picture of yourself, tweet it out on Twitter or on threads using our hashtag.

Now it's time for the show. We have a lot to discuss with y'all this week. It is our all-election episode.

We'll be talking about the proliferation of pre-election lawsuits that may have a strong impact on the outcome of the election.

We have a really interesting conversation planned about the role money plays in politics.

And finally, we'll talk about DOJ's role in protecting elections and what we can expect in the days and weeks ahead.

But before we get to that conversation, I wanted to talk with my sisters about what they're doing to

stay calm between now and the election, because even though I am meditating and using our

sponsor calm, I confess it has been an uneven week for me. How are y'all doing? Barb, what's up?

You know, I'm actually feeling pretty good. I know that there's a potential stress about the election with the way things may turn out, but I'm feeling good.

I think that, you know, I'm not following polls, although the polls I see are favoring Kamala Harris, at least in Michigan.

So I feel good, but when I get concerned about

something, I work. If there's something on my mind, I try to work around the house. I try to do

something for others. I try to exercise. But you know what I've been working on lately is

volunteering to phone bank with just help for voters. It's nonpartisan, but if people want answers to frequently ask

questions, I'm the operator standing by. So sometimes people want to know, how do I get an absentee

ballot? How do I do early voting? I've spoiled my ballot. How can I get a new one? And it's really

easy to do that. 866, my vote in Michigan.

League of Women Voters has lots of good resources. Joyce, I know you know a lot of resources
