But many people don't fully understand what the job of state attorney general entails, and voters too often skip these races on their ballot because they don't know anything about the office or the candidates. With 30 states and the District of Columbia holding elections for their attorneys general this November, understanding the role of your state attorney general is important to being an informed voter. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin joins Broken Law to talk about what the job of a state AG is and what's at stake in these elections.
