Summary

This week the Hacks were joined by two formidable and local Hacks to deep dive into the Nevada and Georgia races. First up is Nevada! Jon Ralston, CEO of the Nevada Independent, joined us to discuss the Cortez Masto v. Laxalt Senate race and walks as through the intricacies of the Nevada ballot. Then we’re joined by Greg Bluestein, author of “Flipped: How Georgia Turned Purple and Broke the Monopoly on Republican Power,” who breaks down the Walker v. Warnock Senate race, discusses the Georgia Governor’s race, and is kind enough to invite Gibbs and Murphy over for Thanksgiving!
