b'On this epi, Jon sheds light on how using booze to sway an election is by no means a new tactic. Whether it be straight-out bribing people for votes (booze = vote) or by suppressing votes (too much booze = who cares about voting), booze has definitely played an important role in our democracy. So, who better to tip back a few in honor of President\\u2019s Day than with a historian whose cup runneth over with knowledge about our voting past and the great lengths people have gone in order to win?'
