Voting Law 101: What Voters and Advocates Need to Know (REPLAY)
Contains material from Jan 2022
Wonderful!
Timely and helpful, esp the Texas portion.
Would it have been too much to ask that attorneys from the states' side of voter access issues had been invited to join in? It would have been far more interesting to hear a more balanced, reasoned and informative discussion rather than the combination of some potted history and naked advocacy that we actually got.
