Mother Jones Senior Reporter Ari Berman is the go-to guy on voter suppression. This is our second in a continuing series of podcasts which will spotlight the GOP efforts to restrict the right to vote.

Only by long-term and continuous voter engagement can we overcome the anti-democratic actions of GOP controlled state governments. Volunteer or donate, but please get involved.
