Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Natalia Contreras, a reporter with Votebeat, to break down the myths, lies, and truths about the process of registering to vote and casting a ballot in Texas. This summer, while one group urged its members to challenge the voter registration of thousands of Austinites, state leadership announced that voters were culled from the rolls. But that was regular voter roll maintenance, and the challenges weren’t legit. So, is voter suppression really a thing in Texas? Should we worry that our votes won’t count at the polls in November? 

We’d like to thank Tecovas, who makes our favorite Western wear in town, for being our exclusive launch sponsor.
