Hi, this is Nate. It is Monday morning before Election Day here in the United States.

I am currently standing by the side of the road about to head westbound from

Albuquerque across the Zuni territory.

Bound for the Navajo Nation of Eastern Arizona where I will be working as a

poll observer to make sure that folks there who are attempting to vote are able to

and that the vote will be counted. I'm going to leave you here as I step out of the way of this

Toyota Tacoma. I'm going to leave you here within an old episode either to get you psyched up to

vote to help you feel good about yourself if you've already voted, if you're living in the United States

or to give you something to listen to while you stand in line to vote on Tuesday. Be well and good luck.

This is the memory palace. I'm Nate Demayou. Sit down. Take a pen. Pencil is fine.

Write this down. Section 269. Every device or request of lands, tenements or hereditements,

or any interest therein, a freehold or less than freehold, either present or future,

vested or contingent, or of any money directed to be raised by the sale thereof, contained in any

last will and testament or codicil, or other testamentary writing, in favor of any religious or

ecclesiastical corporation, soul or aggregate, or any religious or ecclesiastical society,

or to any religious denomination or association or persons, or to any person or body politic,

either expressed or implied, secret or resulting, either for the use and benefit of such religious

corporation, society, denomination or association, or for the purpose of being given or appropriated

to charitable uses or purposes, shall be null and void, and their heir at law shall take the same

property so devised or bequeathed, as though no testamentary disposition had been made.

Now write in essay interpreting that statute. If you're black, if you're white, the registrar,

who was also white, who was always white, at the Monroe County Courthouse in Canton, Mississippi
