Racial Politics in the Wake of the Derick Chauvin Conviction and Voter Reform: Are "Final Five" Primaries a Path to Better Elections?

Former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty Tuesday on all three charges in the killing of George Floyd. Vice President Harris and President Biden applauded the verdict, and in their remarks, both decried what they called “systemic racism” in America’s police forces and other institutions. It’s a phrase associated with what’s called "Critical Race Theory" –an approach to the study of politics and history that is moving from the academy to politics, business and popular culture. And while Washington is focused on reforming voting laws at the national level, we look at a proposal for a different approach to elections called “Final Five Voting.” Carl Cannon, Phil Wegmann, and A.B. Stoddard join moderator Andrew Walworth on today's RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.
