Hello, I'm Basha Cummings.

I'm Alexi Monstrous.

I'm Caroline Criado-Peras.

At Tortoise, we think there's never been a more important time to slow down

and make sense of the world.

Whether it's our slow newscast, our daily sense maker,

or a compelling series like Sweet Bobby, London Grad or Visible Women,

you'll always get great stories, considered reporting and clear analysis.

To listen, just search for Tortoise Media wherever you get your podcasts.

I don't want us to think that we completely dodged a potential 2024 bullet,

but I do think that at the state level, we saw some,

we certainly saw some races break in base that bowed better than they would have

if they had gone the other way for the prospect of actually having

state election officials and governors certify the results of an election in 2024

whether the state votes for the Democratic or Republican candidate.

I'm Quinted Jurassic, senior editor at LawFair.
