Part 1:
We talk with Lexi Churchill and Vianna Davila, researchers for ProPublica-Texas Tribune Investigative Initiative.
The researchers examined the recent voter purges in Texas, led by Gov. Abbot and Ken Paxton. They found that despite announcements by the governor that he removed I million ineligible voters, implying that they were illegal aliens who were attempting to vote, only 581 noncitizens were registered, though they had NOT attempted to vote. Errors had been made by the officials who maintain voter rolls. These rolls are constantly changing, and people move in and out of counties in Texas. (254 counties)
Part 2:
We speak with Laura Jedeed, a freelance journalist who reports on American conservatives.
We discuss teh case of North Idaho College, a community college which has been under attach by local members of MAGA. This has been part of a plan to completely dismantle public education in the US. We discuss the tactics used, and the people involved in this ongoing event.
