'Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj': Host compares voter suppression to competing in 'American Ninja Warrior'

Minhaj is refreshing and unique in his style and usually explores the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity

Hasan Minhaj’s weekly comedy show on Netflix, 'Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj', has already garnered rave reviews for the copious amounts of light it has shed on burning socio-political issues, with his own signature comedic twist. And now, just in time for the upcoming midterm elections, his most recent episode discusses exactly why local state races are so important.

In the promo released for the episode, Minhaj starts off his monologue saying, "You may have noticed, critical states are making it harder to cast your ballot." He then goes on to explain how "states keep adding new ballots that make it harder to vote." In his rightful comedic expertise, Minhaj ends up drawing a comparison between every election turning into an episode of 'American Ninja Warrior.'
