We're continuing with our miniseries called 'Why I Vote' and this time, we're focusing on people who don’t agree with their family and friends’ political views and ultimately - vote differently too. First, we speak with different folks about this. Then, a psychologist joins us to talk about how to negotiate these tough conversations.
