Before the Ballot: How 2026 Is Already Being Decided

Before campaign ads, debates, and endorsements, some of the most important decisions in an election have already been made. This episode explores how redistricting, court rulings, and affordability concerns are shaping the 2026 midterms long before voters head to the polls. Learn where political power really lives, how institutions influence elections, and why understanding the rules is just as important as understanding the candidates. The Receipt: The election isn’t just about who gets the most votes. It’s also about who writes the rules before the votes are cast.
