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.
Unite America's full report can be found here.
