	Description:		Our voting system is man-made. Like, literally written by men. Mostly white, straight men. This helps explain why there’s pretty low voter turnout in the United States. On this episode, we examine our democracy as a design problem—and explore what barriers are built into our election laws that keep people from voting. We talk with an organizer with Asian American get-out-the-vote group 18 Million Rising, hear from the founders of #CriptheVote, and listen to an excerpt of Hari Kondabolu’s new comedy album. Oh and there’s a Pokemon Go shout-out in there, too. The band featured on today’s episode is Brooklyn duo Fever High.
