DESCRIPTION

Louisiana caught and reversed the accidental removal of over 60,000 voters, voting rights group raises concerns about voters' access to elections, and DHS pushes back on claims about ICE agents at polling places. Popular Democracy Executive Director DeMareo Cooper joins Greg Bishop on The States to discuss the group's concerns about voter roll purges, access to polling locations, and the use of ICE agents to intimidate voters. Plus, Greg looks at responses from the Department of Homeland Security denying any plans to target polling locations in ICE operations and saying any actions at polling places would be in response to a national security threat.

The focus of The Center Square's work is state and local level government and economic reporting. A taxpayer sensibility distinguishes our work from other coverage of state and local issues. As a result of this approach, our audiences are better informed about the focus of state and local government and its cost to the citizens whose tax dollars fund governmental decisions.
