The Ellison Report is a weekly journal of politics, policy, and the people.

 

PART I - Christopher Famighetti of the Brennan Center examines the growing specter of voting machine and database irregularities on Election Day – and how it’s been a problem long before Russian hackers made it one. 

PART II - Will Jordan, YouGov, offers reasons why the tightening of the presidential race isn’t really all what it seems. Also: an examination of whether recent cultural events are driving the potential voting preferences of certain populations.

PART III – Joseph Young, American University, takes a look at how national security issues are crystallizing for the presidential candidates, particularly in the context of the Global War on Terrorism. What regions of the world should a future POTUS be worried about?

PART IV – Carol Graham, Brookings Institution, talks about difference in level of happiness among demographic groups: who’s the happiest? And: is it about happiness or is it really about who handles stress better?
