About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Mississippi's Shield Act on voter integrity and disenfranchisement through interviews and a roundtable debate.

Will the new Shield Act prevent non-citizens from voting in Mississippi elections? Or will it disenfranchise legal voters? Host Wilson Stribling interviews Senate Elections Committee chairman Jeremy England (R-Van Cleave) and University of Mississippi professor Marvin King for contrasting perspectives. Then Wilson welcomes Republican Lucien Smith and Democrat Brandon Jones for a spirited roundtable debate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
