We return to the topic of voting rights, in light of the passing of what might be the most strict voting law in the country, earlier this week in North Carolina. We talk to:

  • ER Shipp, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Journalist-in-Residence and Associate Professor of Journalism at Morgan State University;
  • Brentin Mock, New Orleans-based journalist and reporter for Colorlines; 
  • and Ari Berman, contributing writer for The Nation magazine.
