Here's a short chat we recorded the day after the Election. I believe it's safe to say that everyone is ready for the next president of the United States to be announced but remember that it's important that EVERY voice be counted.

And be safe.   ・・✧ LISTEN TO US ON ✧・・ We are now on iTunes & Tune In! iTunes | Stitcher  |  Spotify | Tune In | Podbean   ・・✧ FOLLOW US ✧・・ Facebook |  Instagram | Twitter  | TheThreePodcastOfficial@gmail.com  | www.thethreepodcast.com   Resources    Oregon Decriminalization, New York Times  Some history on drug prohibition, ACLU  Mr. Davis on YouTube (Spooky Stories)  Trump declares he won, New York Times  GA issues with corrupted memory card  PA Election Update  Joe Biden receiving more votes than any other candidate in history  Early voting in PA Trump flagged on Twitter  Chris Christie against Trump  CNN Trump campaign suing PA  Note from Len: Could not find the original headline I talked about in the episode, headline may have been altered later by CNN.  Biden speaking day after election   Wait For It (Hamilton) TTP Episode 9 (talking about Jamie Raskin/Nancy Pelosi, 25th Amendment)  MLK III Twitter
