It's the Brian Laire's show on WNYC. Good morning again everyone. Later this hour we'll have a call in for you morning people.

Oh and unite people on how you're adjusting to moving the clocks back last weekend and in general how you coexist with your fellow

Morning people and night people if you're not one of each group if you know what I mean.

So first this week's elections had the interesting results that we've been talking about

New York, New Jersey and around the country on abortion rights and more.

One thing this election day did not have was losers claiming the election was rigged and

that they really won, right?

But next year's presidential election has people nervous,

understandably, about a 2024 version of what happened after the 2020 election.

And with different kinds of Republicans, more election denial friendly ones in power in some swing states, and as Speaker of the House,

House safe as electoral democracy.

Well, enter the group Public Agenda, known for its polling and its legacy in origins

with a polar poster Daniel Yanklevich, and what it now calls a research to action orientation as a non-profit.

They have a new project that they call the Democracy Renewal Project, which will focus on strengthening voter participation and trust in

elections. Can we have both things? And with us now is Andrew Seligson,

president of public agenda.

Andrew, thanks for coming on WNY today.

Hi.

Thank you so much, Brian.

It's nice to be here.

What's the Democracy Renewal Project?

Tell us more.
