Election Day is just around the corner! To get you ready to cast your ballot and answer some questions about our voting process, we invited Maricopa County, Arizona Recorder Stephen Richer to join us in studio. Stephen has established himself as one of the foremost experts on voting systems and the election process in the country.
Chris and Yvette talk to Stephen about his background, why he decided to run for Recorder, how he withstood and fought back against unfounded attacks after the 2020 election, the importance of voting and democracy, and being named a "Democracy Defender" by Time Magazine. Plus, Stephen shares his love of learning - and challenges with changing a flat tire.
