This Presidential race is a battle for the soul and the future of the country—on this much, both parties agree. Yet the election process itself is threatened in a number of ways, some of them real, some of them self-fulfilling prophecies. David Remnick runs through some of the risks to your vote with a group of staff writers. Plus, Miranda July talks with Deborah Treisman, the fiction editor of The New Yorker, about her third darkly comic feature film, in which a heist plot lets her deal with heartbreaking family dynamics. And we toast Roger Angell on his centennial.
