California GOP Pushes Major Election Integrity Changes

America’s Talking breaks down the latest political and policy developments impacting taxpayers across the country — from election integrity and Medicaid spending to the Democratic Party’s shifting political strategy. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is weighing in on recent Democratic primary victories and the party’s effort to regain control of Congress. Meanwhile, California Republicans are pushing constitutional amendments aimed at changing how elections are administered and how ballot measures are written. In Georgia, a new bipartisan election integrity task force is bringing Democrats and Republicans together to address election security, transparency and misinformation. The episode also examines the Trump administration’s decision to end taxpayer-funded Medicaid and CHIP coverage for certain gender-transition-related procedures involving minors, a move supporters say will protect taxpayer dollars and opponents strongly dispute.
