Hey there, this episode contains just the tiniest bit of salty language.

Okay, here's the show.

R.E. Burman's Outlook on the World.

You could call it a little cynical.

Can I swear on this podcast?

Do it.

I'm always trying to think of the fucked up thing that's gonna happen next.

To be fair, this is R.E.'s job.

He's a reporter at Mother Jones.

I cover attacks on democracy.

I cover attacks on voting rights.

And usually they don't say I'm going to suppress the vote X, Y, and Z two or four,

10 years ahead of time.

They, the way voter suppression works is you try to surprise people.

It's sort of a stealth tactic so you don't know it's coming.

R.E. came into the studio to tell me about the stealth tactic he thinks we're all

going to be talking about next.

One that could reshape whose votes count in this country for years.

Thank you very much, everyone.

Okay, so I'm going to play this tape.

This is July 11th.

Okay.
