The Franco vote is something we’ve touched upon in earlier episodes but this week we’re doing a deep dive. This week we're joined by returning favorite Juliana L'Heureux and first time guest and author of How Maine Decides: An Insider's Guide to How Ballot Measures Are Won and Lost, Dr. Christian Potholm. They'll discuss if there's a Franco vote and how it's effected Maine Elections. This episode was recorded awhile ago and we've had problems editing it. Sorry for the delay but even thou some past elections are being discussed, it's still a great conversation.
