This chapter highlights the significance of humility and relevance in the context of presidential nominations. The speakers also preview an intriguing upcoming episode about the potential transitions of candidates between election and electoral college voting, while inviting listeners to support their podcast initiative.

In this episode, we speak with Professor Stephen Siegel, a Professor of Law at DePaul University, about the Electoral Count Act, which sets the rules for Congress when it counts electoral votes. We explain what happens if there is just one slate and how Congress might resolve a controversy if there are competing slates of electors from one state.
