Richard Hasen, one of the great authorities on election law and Jen Rubin discuss the Supreme Court’s questionable decisions that have chipped away at voting rights, and why protecting voting will have to come through proactive, state-by-state action.

Plus, Former Representative and current Texas senate candidate Collin Allred [22:15] came on to share how the state is fighting back, and what can be done to fix this mess.
