If you're a regular today explained listener you already know that 2024 is a historic year for elections around the world

Over half of humanity lives in a country where there'll be an election this year, but that doesn't guarantee all those elected leaders will be super democratic.

In El Salvador's big election this past weekend, sitting President Naib Bukale showed up to vote

We pulverized all of the opposition.

coming up on the show today.
