The American Democracy Minute Radio Report & Podcast for July 22, 2024
Some Campaign Strategists Hope You’ll Show Up at the Polls, Only to Find that Your Voter Registration has been Purged. Don’t Let that Happen.
Here’s a scenario likely to be more common in the 2024 elections: You show up expecting to cast your ballot, but the clerk says you’re no longer registered.

So sorry.
