Election betting legalized, then illegalized again

Hosts: Greg Skordas and Adam Gardiner

For a few hours on Thursday, election betting was legal here in the United States. A judge said it was okay, but a quickly-filed appeal put another pause on it. The back-and-forth got us thinking: why isn’t election betting okay? If other kinds of betting are largely legal – including sports betting – why isn’t it okay to bet on candidates? Dave Noriega, co-host of Dave and Dujanovic on KSL NewsRadio and a former sports journalist joins the conversation to help explain why we can’t compare other kinds of gambling to betting on elections.
