For a little over a year now, an informal group of Republican activists has been challenging our local voter rolls. They’ve filed thousands of challenges — all alleging that because someone moved, that means that they should be wiped from the Allegheny County voter logs. But the thing is, the county already takes care of that. So today, we’re talking about how all this got started, what officials are saying about it, and what you can do as a voter to protect your vote if one of these letters comes your way.

Thanks to our guests, reporters Julia Zenkevich and Charlie Wolfson. Read their full piece in PublicSource, and listen to the story via WESA.
