April 30, 2026: Impact of Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling; Aging Matters on avoiding scams
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the Supreme Court's ruling on the Voting Rights Act and efforts to protect older Coloradans from scams.
The 1965 Voting Rights Act was designed to ensure the right to vote for all citizens, regardless of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and background. The Supreme Court rolled back a key provision of the landmark legislation on Wednesday. We talk through what it means, and what protections are in place in Colorado. Then, older Coloradans are especially at risk for scams -- and they can often suffer in silence. For our series Aging Matters , we talk about efforts to stay one step ahead as scammers get more sophisticated.
