But here’s the truth: we aren’t mere victims. We’re the frontline defense in this battle against digital deception.

There has been great excitement and renewed voter engagement since Vice President Kamala Harris rose to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket on July 21st.

Education has always been a contentious issue, but as we approach the 2024 elections, it’s become ground zero for broader cultural and political clashes.

The industry also offers opportunities in AgTech, clean energy, and cannabis tourism, which can drive growth in key states. In anew poll released on August 31 by Ragnar Research, undecided voters in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin strongly support marijuana reform, with 84% of respondents favoring medical cannabis and 62% backing broader adult-use legalization.
