Gist: The Evils of Election Incompetence

On the Gist, New York’s elections are not unlike Georgia’s.
In the interview, our resident vexillologist Ted Kaye is back to talk about the latest in flag news. He fills Mike in on what’s happening in Mississippi as they try to swiftly get a new flag design added to the ballot in November, and the recent proliferation of the ‘thin blue line’ American flag. Kaye’s book is Good Flag, Bad Flag.
In the spiel, Trump’s mispronunciations.
