"The lesser of two evils" is a phrase we hear a lot during election cycles. Why is that? This hour, we look to philosophy, the polls, and forensic psychiatry to explore the meaning of this idiom.

GUESTS: 

• Lakshya Jain: Partner at the election analysis website splitticket.org
• Julia Maskivker: Professor of Political Theory and Political Science at Rollins College in Florida. She wrote the book “The Duty to Vote.”
• Dr. Michael Welner: Forensic psychiatrist and chairman of The Forensic Panel
