Today's episode tells you everything you need to know about voting, including in particular West Virginia's "Sore Loser" law and whether it applies to big fat racist criminal loser Don Blankenship... and, in turn, what that means for Joe Manchin's chances of holding on to his Senate seat in the 2018 midterms.\xa0 Phew! We begin, however, with... *sigh*... Andrew Was Wrong.\xa0 This time, an astute listener clarifies where Andrew elided over two different sections of the Voting Rights Act when discussing the Supreme Court's opinion in\xa0Shelby County v. Holder (2013). Oh, and we have more on McDonald's, too!\xa0\xa0After that, it's time to dig into West Virginia's "sore loser" law.\xa0 What does this mean for the upcoming Senate elections?\xa0 Listen and find out! Then, the guys tackle a\xa0very good listener question from listener Greg regarding freedom of the press, freedom of speech, limited public fora, and more. Finally, we end the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #86 regarding the sale of an automobile and a slippery salesman.\xa0 Remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page\xa0so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!
