Dr. Lindsey Cormack on Civic Education, Voting & Election Myths

Political scientist Dr. Lindsey Cormack joins Taylor Darcy to show how real civic education starts at home—and why small habits (from attending a local meeting to working the polls) build a healthier democracy. We cover age‑appropriate ways to teach power and responsibility, what schools do (and don’t) cover, youth turnout trends, VRA Section 2 worries, and why serving as a poll worker is the best myth‑buster of all. Chapters 0:00 Intro — Why civic education isn’t an elective.  1:13 “Why How to Raise a Citizen?” Origin of the project.  4:15 What schools teach (and miss) about government, by state.  8:07 Countering pop‑culture cynicism about government.  16:19 A government that helps: seeing the good beyond the headlines.  18:35 Everyday civics: local cleanups, coffees with officials, meet‑and‑greets.  21:07 Modeling Participation: Professors, Extra Credit, and Balanced Discourse.  25:42 “Decisions are made by those who show up.” Why voting culture matters.  26:03 Reasons for Hope: Youth Turnout Data and the Long March Upward. 28:09 Parent checklist: registration deadlines, moving, and helping 18‑year‑olds navigate.  30:14 What’s happening to the Voting Rights Act (Section 2).  31:14 Be a poll worker: math, safeguards, and why fraud claims fall apart. 33:54 “Ballot harvesting” on TV vs. real‑world elections.  35:48 Final message: We’re the adults in the room—teach it, live it, repeat. 37:47 Host wrap: one school board, one table, one habit at a time.  🧠 FREE RESOURCES & GUIDES: Stop Falling for Fake News (Free Guide): Learn to spot misinformation and think like a fact-checker → https://go.wedissentmedia.com/fact-ch... 🤝 SUPPORT & JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: Become a Member: Support Democracy Matters and access exclusive perks → https://go.wedissentmedia.com/patreon 🔗 CONNECT WITH US: Website: https://wedissentmedia.com Substack: https://substack.wedissentmedia.com YouTube:    / @wedissentmedia   Instagram:   / wedissentmedia   Facebook:   / wedissentmedia   Support the Work • Subscribe, like, and share to get this in front of more civically curious folks. • Join our Substack for show notes, sources, and action steps. • Become a member to sustain independent civic media.
