This week, voters went to the polls in Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia and DC. Also, President Trump intensified his claims of widespread election fraud in California as federal prosecutors announced election-related investigations in the state. We’ll hear from political consultant Dan Schnur later in the hour speaking about Newsom’s response. As well as Omar Noureldin, Vice President at Common Cause speaking on what some are calling a manufactured “elections crisis” by Republicans. Also, in Alabama, primary results are coming in… all while that state is planning it’s redistricting following the Supreme Court Callais decision to gut the Voting Rights Act. We’ll hear from Slate courts writer Mark Joseph Stern.
