We know that there is a new face to voter suppression and election interference in 2024. Republicans are making it harder for people who they think will vote for the Democrats to vote. What does that look like, and what can we do about it? That’s the topic that is up for discussion tonight.
The election is getting close. Some of the first ballots will go out this Saturday to members of the military and Americans abroad. It’s time to arm ourselves with the best information, and Ari is one of the essential people for us to have that conversation with.
