Presidency Upending

Welcome to Season Two of Presidency Upending!
In this first episode, Clare and Zim dive into the complexities of American politics with Professor Edward. B Foley of Ohio State University, who is widely regarded as one of the nation’s top experts on election law.
During his visit to Melbourne, Foley delivered a lecture on Melbourne's very own Edward Nanson, a 19th-century professor whose innovative electoral system Foley believes could be the key to eradicating political polarisation.
