We miss you on our Court...SDO...you were one terrific lady.

I think an open primary is a bad idea I don’t want a democrat being able to vote against my republican candidate and vice versa for democrats so closed primaries is the way forward and I also think the current system is good for the republic. We are not a democracy I definitely don’t like the new voting system your proposing that system has not turned out for California very well so it’s a new system that isn’t working so you might go with your Dr. Phil expression there too your new way does not work no open primary I don’t want democrats voting against a republican in the primaries I know it changes depending on where you are but can make your primary closed if you want if you’re party is for it we need voter id paper ballot and the rank choice you can’t do a recount is very difficult so no on your new system

If we don't have a choice why is it about getting us to understand what kind of candidates we want to vote for? We aren't stupid. We know damn well who we want to vote for but those people aren't allowed to win either party's primaries. The extremists are the DNC and RNC. It is the Independents that want something EVERYONE is happy with. Ranked choice delivers the candidate that gets the true consensus vote. Why should we care what politicians have to say about it. These are the ones that were forced on us anyway. We want to choose our representatives. I am sick of voting for candidates I hate because you guys are scared of change, and no I don't think that we should pay politicians more. They aren't serving us at all. We don't want them. They are blocking our ability to vote for who we DO want, and you think the answer is to pay them more? This is the problem and why we want a change

Ranked choice voting is extremely backed and funded by Democrat supporters for a reason.. .. . It wont remove money from primaries, it will add.

The elephant issue is how to increase Informed Voting, not how to count second, third, and fourth choices of people we have little or no familiarity. We have such a painful challenge to get information about the down ballot issues and candidates actual stances. I believe that is why people often are confused, and often don’t vote at least on down ballot sections.

Amazing how Katie Hobbs, as secretary of state was in charge of the election for govenor while also being a candidate. Nothing corrupt going on here, right?

Your here to talk about inflation and you ask what is money. I can tell you what it is. You buy groceries with it, cars, homes, college degrees.

Note all the speakers appear to be Republican and open primaries has always favored the GOP.

So the lukewarm candidate wins....

Yes. Stephen, but it leaves the food choice I do not want on the shelf not in my basket!!!!!!

I don't like it. It deluted my vote.

The guy that keeps calling Republicans "extreme" has affirmed that I will voting AGAINST RANKED CHOICE. I and my whole family are Republican and we are tired of veing labeled "extremists" for being conservative.

RCV can be so easily gamed by a wealthy interest.

The electoral college system sucks.

Hand counting is illegal in Arizona.

RCV is too confusing. it also violates the tenet of “one-person, one vote”. some people think they are so smart, but they are just tinkering with something that SHALL NOT be tinkered with

Given that in 5 presidential elections, the winner lost the popular vote, a change should be made. Twice in 16 years in this century alone it has happened. I think people are discouraged that only a few states are those that decide elections. This is unfair to everybody who votes.

Most secure and safest solution is get rid of voting machines. In person voting only except military or disabled.

Why are they all Democrats?

wonderful discussion on a very important topic! Thank you all.

WEF ? yikes

Thank God the states elect the president. The states did create the country, after all

Great interview!

What a great guest

If only sandra had been Nancys dula

3:05 Racism is a worldwide phenomenon. There are varieties of racism. The most common symptom of racism is narcissism. In fact, racism and egoism are interlinked. Another symptom of racism is superiority complex. Racism is a mental disorder. It can be treated, but before that it must be declared as a disorder. Failure to do that is harmful to society and human development.

It was our good fortune to have her as a Supreme Court justice. She was an exceptional person.

May her soul rest in peace

You could start with the US is a constitutional republic

You misclicked, didn't you?

I agree with Kevin Meyer. The current voting system is so vulnerable to tampering by either rogue computer software or corrupt administration, that I don't even trust the results of a 'simple' standard election. Half of the voters have big doubts about the integrity of the process and those who run it!!! I SURE DON'T TRUST them to further complicate the process by making it much more difficult to verify by doing a hand count within a reasonable amount of time. Get the system we have now working reliably!

This was very interesting. Hearing professor Miller speak about natives being in the US Constitution was eye opening. Thank you

Great information!

Remember when republicans appointed qualified Supreme Court judges…..

Liam is an attractive host

Always enjoy listening to Dr. Cochrane

Very glad to hear from Kevin Meyer and Alaska's recent experience, which was good, and positive. Jaime brings the voice of experience, and healthy skepticism. At the end, Steve Goldstein has me in his camp, as a moderate voter having to choose between the lesser of 2 evils in general elections, since Independent's and moderates under the current setup rarely make it to the general election ballot, even though we make up as much of the voting public as either major party does. RCV would level the playing field for those of us in the center.

In Steve's proposal, what is the signature collection burden for candidates? Would independents still need to collect far more than for a candidate within a party?

Many thanks to the panelists.

This measure was written poorly. Requiring the original funding source (individual donor info) be disclosed of an entity is too far. Why not just require entities must disclose or reveal their true mission statement or objective versus having to provide the list of donors, their addresses and employers. I suppose this could be problematic as well, but creating hit-lists of donors goes too far.

Thank you everyone involved here for providing this debate and civil discussion of this proposition at a deeper level.

Republicans need to leave Trump behind and go back to using a less polarizing rhetoric. In the current political climate bipartisanship is impossible, thanks to DJT vitriolic legacy..

Has our darling YT scrubbed the likes and the comments too?!🤔😱🤣 Perish the thought! This is the dynamite, that once understood by our feckless younger selves, causes the dark clouds to split apart and the joy of our freedoms to pour in. Very dangerous stuff. Like and share, share, share America!

I have come across TH-cam comments on videos of Thomas Sowell that are downright malicious, accusing him of being a "liar" and "charlatan". I've studied Sowell, reading much of his work and listening to him speak on a wide range of important topics. I have never once come across what I would describe as deception or lies. I get a couple of different responses when I question these comments, but typically they do not respond at all. I get the sense that what has really motivated their anguished howls is the fact that Sowell has hit a vital spot somewhere in their presuppositions.

Jason's intro seemed a tad too long. But enlightening as always.

Pinker, Sowell, Riley - this talk could have lasted ten hours and I would still have listened to all.

It looks like Richard Posner's Sex and Reason on Jason's bookshelf. Interesting.
