Summary
This is a part 2! Make sure to catch the previous episode in the feed.
If you're on the left and at all active on the internet, you have probably seen this shared. It's called "Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won." Here's the first bit: "Trump lost. That is, if all legal voters were allowed to vote, if all legal ballots were counted, Trump would have lost the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Vice-President Kamala Harris would have won the Presidency with 286 electoral votes."
Dr. Jenessa Seymour has the perfect expertise to examine these claims critically. Do they hold up? We learn a ton about voting rights along the way!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only. This is episode 476. I'm your host Thomas Smith, |
| 0:17.1 | and I'm excited to get to part two with Dr. Janessa Seymour on the myths around the |
| 0:23.1 | election that some weirdo on the internet is trying to spread. And a lot of people are buying. |
| 0:28.3 | But, you know, not on mass, though. I think that, largely speaking, Democrats are much more |
| 0:33.6 | sensible, obviously, than Republicans, than MAGA. And so this isn't really like anywhere near as popular as Trump's election lies were with |
| 0:42.5 | the right. |
| 0:43.0 | But it is present, and it does get shared, and it does get engagement when it's shared. |
| 0:47.7 | I think it's just good to debunk this stuff. |
| 0:49.5 | I think it's good to engage skeptically, and we learn so much along the way. |
| 0:53.6 | So let's get on to part two. |
| 0:54.8 | If you remember, in the end of part one, she started talking about guardianships and how you |
| 0:59.5 | can lose your right to vote if you have like a conservatorship type thing. And then she started |
| 1:04.7 | to get into voting rights around felons. And that's where we will pick up the conversation in this |
| 1:10.6 | part. So that's what we'll do after the |
| 1:12.4 | break. Hey, please support the show, patreon.com slash series pod. If you like stuff like this and want to |
| 1:17.6 | hear more of it, that's the way to make it happen. And it's also the way to avoid the auto ads. |
| 1:22.6 | All right, after this break, we'll get to it. |
| 1:36.7 | Okay, so as far as that guardianship goes, it varies by state. |
| 1:38.7 | Please check your state laws. |
| 1:45.5 | Don't just assume that because you have a guardianship or someone you care for, that they can't vote, check your laws, the same thing is going to be true for these felony voting rights. We do not want to just |
| 1:49.9 | dismiss this offhand. There's a couple states where it just doesn't matter. You can still vote |
| 1:56.6 | regardless of your interaction with the criminal justice system, which I think we can probably get on the |
