While Election Day is still three weeks away, a combination of safe congressional seats and closed partisan primaries has already determined the result of 87% of House Elections.

In this episode, Dan and IVN Editor Shawn Griffiths discuss a recent report by Unite America showing how 7% of all voters have determined the overwhelming majority of House elections, the effects this has on polarization in Congress, and reforms on the ballot in several states that could fix this.
