Investigates: Voter Suppression - Voter Access & The Role of Technology


Listen Later

Technology is playing an increasingly important role in elections, particularly how potential candidates equip themselves with the knowledge and know-how to reach potential voters in their districts. 

Today, we talk to Becca Blais from BlueBonnet Data, a national nonprofit that recruits, trains, and organizes people for down-ballot campaigns, and find out what BlueBonnet Data is doing to transform elections and cut down on voter suppression.

Featured Guest: Becca Blais, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Bluebonnet Data


Note: Correction ~70% of Blue Bonnet fellows have never volunteered for a campaign before; after the fellowship, 90% plan to volunteer for political campaigns in the future.
