Betty Jean Grant is a long time political activist and leader in Buffalo, New York. She was in the Erie County Legislature. She was on the School Board. She was the first African American woman to run for Mayor. But recently she has been a thorn in the side of establishment Democrats, advocating for outside, independent candidates, like India Walton. 

She is being prosecuted for videoing what she thought was illegal voter activity. She went to Facebook live to show a Byron Brown (India Walton's opponent) supporter helping (apparently improperly) two individuals vote. In this podcast, we look into the prosecution and some of the possible causes and implications.
