Host Reed Galen is joined by Lauren Groh-Wargo, the CEO of the national voting rights organization Fair Fight Action. They discuss the current state of democracy in the U.S., focusing on the ongoing voter suppression efforts and the implications of disinformation on voter participation. They also break down the role of legislation in shaping voter access, particularly the attacks on the Help America Vote Act and the dangers of the proposed SAVE Act. Plus, the coordinated efforts to undermine democratic processes and the importance of funding/resources for elections, and the need for local engagement and community organizing to advocate for voting rights.
