What does it mean to vote for the soul of a nation? In Episode 6 of Coastal Navigator, we explore into how faith has impacted this election--how voters and faith leaders alike are understanding the candidates and the future of the country. From the pews of a "gospel get out the vote" event to the voices of pastors on both sides of the aisle, dig into how faith affects our communities and our choices ahead of Nov 5.

Episode 5: A conversation with a GA attorney on the "Lawfare Election"

For Coastal Navigator's next episode, listen in on a conversation with Nora Benavidez, a top civil rights and free speech attorney in Georgia. Together, we'll walk through the past, present, and future of the cases that have defined this election in Georgia. We see what we should keep an eye on and reflect on why so many of the battles of this race have been fought in the court.

Episode 4: What one Georgia county can tell us about voter challenges

What happens when 859 votes get challenged in a single Georgia county, by an activist with a surprising motivation? This week on Coastal Navigator, we're diving into the new world of voter challenges, which have reshaped Georgia's election landscape in the past few years. We'll look at an unfolding story from Bryan County, where an individual challenged her peers with 25 days to go before Election Day. Come into the meeting where it happened and learn about the laws supporting these challenges and what they mean for us all in Georgia. An update to this episode: Jen Hilburn, the challenger in this case, is no longer affiliated with 100 Miles after these events.
