With less than a month to the midterms, it’s never been more important to understand the power of your vote and the importance of understanding how our government actually works. We wanted to know more about the electoral college, misinformation, and why there’s so much money in politics –– so we sat down with Sharon McMahon, who you may know as America’s Government teacher. During this lively conversation, Tori and Sharon dive into the nuances of the American government, from Citizens United to who’s actually in charge of your school district's curriculum. We also learn A LOT of shocking details about Aaron Burr.
