On the April 14th edition of Your Call, Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice, joins us to discuss his new book, “The Fight to Vote.”
It took nearly two centuries to expand voting rights from property owning white men to all Americans. But the hard-won battle is still under attack. Seventeen states have introduced new voting restrictions ranging from strict voter ID laws to cutting back on early voting. How is this affecting voter turnout? What will it take to protect the right to vote? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guest:
Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law and author of "The Fight to Vote"
