Plausibly Live! - The Official Podcast Of The Dave Bowman Show

Bill Mick and Dave get together to talk History! If you believe that 2020 was "unprecedented" or even unusual, then you know literally nothing of US History. In fact, in terms of post election violence (or even pre-election violence) 2001 isn't even in the Top 5. Now, Congressman James Clyburn (the man who saved Biden's Campaign?) has called for Federalizing Elections, saying that elections are "too important to leave to the States." Is Mr. Clyburn correct? Didn't Alexander Hamilton (Happy Birthday!) essentially say just that in his Federalist 59? Or... has he missed the most important part, thus reinforcing several myths about why things are the way they are? At the same time, is is erasing/ignoring history in order to make his point...?
