  • I'm Miles Parks.

  • I cover voting.

  • I'm Eric McDaniel.

  • I cover Congress.

  • And I'm Mara Liason, senior national political correspondent.

  • And Eric, I want to start with you to start big picture.

  • How are voters thinking or are they thinking about corruption right now?

  • They definitely are.

  • I mean, I recently saw some polling from the Brennan Center for Justice,

  • which is a nonpartisan nonprofit that advocates for various kinds of small D democratic reform, good governance stuff.

  • And they polled.

  • They asked voters of this.
