Central Pennsylvania is expected to experience a heat wave through Thursday. A heat advisory goes into effect from noon to until eight tomorrow night. Labor union members in Pennsylvania are showing their support for President Joe Biden's re-election campaign. The now defunct University of the Arts has multiple historic properties in Philadelphia's Center City. In the wake of the school's rapid collapse earlier this month, its looking to repay debts in a hurry and that could mean the properties hit the auction block soon. Pennsylvania is seeing lots of action targeting gaps in its vote-by-mail laws. The problem is that it's in the courtroom and not the legislature. That could make the most populous presidential swing state a hotbed of challenges and conspiracy theories if the November election is close, as expected. A judge could soon decide on a trial date for a Pennsylvania man charged in the deaths of four University of Idaho students who were killed more than a year and a half ago.

With the 2024 general election approaching, a wave of new voting laws is shaping the electoral landscape, continuing the trend from recent years. From January to May, six states, including Alabama and Idaho, passed restrictive laws that could significantly impact this year's elections. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, these new laws criminalize certain forms of assistance with absentee voting, making it harder for many, particularly Black voters, elderly voters, and those with disabilities, to cast their ballots. In Alabama, for example, it's now a crime for anyone other than the voter to submit a mail ballot application, and providing assistance can result in severe penalties. Emerging technology issues, such as the use of deep fakes and AI, have also prompted new laws to combat disinformation. As states pile on new restrictions, it's crucial, however, for voters to stay informed and prepared. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

According to the Brennan Center for Justice, nearly half of U.S. states have enacted new voting laws ahead of the 2024 general election, many of which impose significant restrictions. Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, and Tennessee have passed laws making voting harder, especially for Black and minority communities. Alabama has criminalized assisting with mail ballot applications, impacting elderly and disabled voters, while Indiana's law risks wrongly purging naturalized citizens from voter rolls. Another major concern is the rise of deepfakes and AI-generated disinformation, leading to new legislation aimed at protecting the integrity of elections. With voting access under threat and misinformation on the rise, Black voters must stay informed and vigilant as the election approaches. Eleven states have passed laws expanding voting access, such as easier absentee voting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike talks about the new changes to Arizona's voter ID laws.
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has dealt a huge blow to what is left of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, further weakening the rights of minority voters. The Eighth Circuit ruling, which affects voters in Arkansas and six other states, determined that only the federal government, not private citizens or civil rights groups like the NAACP, can challenge discriminatory voting practices under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The latest ruling contradicts decades of legal precedent where private parties have played a crucial role in challenging racist laws and gerrymandering. The decision is expected to face appeal, potentially reaching a Supreme Court that has shown a mixed record on voting rights. The question is, how deeply will this impact the future of voting rights and racial equity in America? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On August 23, at least 5 GOP hopefuls for the party's presidential nomination will take to the stage in Milwaukee for their first primary debate. In other words, the 2024 election is about to get real.In this episode, Dan Richards talks with Wendy Schiller, professor of political science at Brown University and director of the Watson Institute's Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy, about where the race stands now, and what to expect in the coming months.

In the second half of the show, Dan speaks with Othniel Harris, program manager of the Taubman Center, about a disturbing trend in U.S. politics that could have major implications for 2024 and beyond: the rash of restrictive voting laws passed in recent years in swing states around the country.

The Founder and President of Restoration PAC discusses the need for the Republican National Committee to move into the 21st century and modernize its approach to voting and what sort of party it is going to be. Doug Truax comments on the last two elections, which saw Democrats out-hustling Republicans on early voting says, that the mainstream of the Republican Party all believes that voters should be voting “as close to Election Day as possible, ballots in the mail are a bad idea. We all think that, and that's where we need to go to, but we can't get there if we don't win. And if we just keep losing elections, because we're not good at this new playing field that we're on, we're never going to make any change.” Truax says that the GOP needs “to have this conversation about this and say, look, we are going to have to chase ballots, we're going to have to make sure all of our people vote.” Using the example that, “if Aunt Sally can vote on a day, that's, a month and a half from the election, that's not ideal for us long term, but we got to make sure she goes and does it on that day. And then we got that box checked, she's voted.” Saying, “because you can see, even what happened in Maricopa County is, lo and behold, the system wasn't working great on election day, and people had to wait three hours and how many people do we lose?” Truax says that GOP only wanting to narrow itself to voting on Election Day and not trying to expand to mail-in-ballots, “is just asking for trouble.” Commenting, “if we narrow ourselves down to just this game that we currently want to play, and play that game. Well, that's not the real game that's being played, the real game is chase the ballots, get the votes in, everything is so quick, it's clearly divided, a lot of our elections are very close. So if we don't get this figured out, we are just going to keep losing.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As Americans begin to cast ballots in the midterms, voters who struggle to read will confront an election system that relies on literacy.

Americans with disabilities say state efforts to tighten voting laws are making it harder for eligible voters like them to cast their ballots.

Texas is one of 18 states that passed restrictive voting measures after the 2020 election.Last year, the state passed Senate Bill 1, a sweeping set of voting reforms that restricted voting hours, banned drive-thru voting, and set new photo ID requirements for voting by mail.Since then, Texas has held its March primary elections, revealing the results of the overhaul of the state's election laws. About 12 percent of mail-in ballots were rejected statewide according to the office of the secretary of state.We talk about how these changes are shaping up and what that could mean for voters nationwide.This conversation is part of our Remaking America collaboration with six public radio stations around the country, including KUT in Austin, Texas.
