2018 saw the highest midterm turnout in four decades. But at only fifty-three percent voter participation, the U.S. ranks near the bottom of developed countries. Now America is faced with a new reality that could lower those numbers even further. The COVID-19 pandemic has blown up plans for the upcoming election.

Join us on Facebook Live to unpack the questions that these challenges present.
