We start with ALAN MINSKY, Executive Director of Progressive Democrats of America, who unveils PDA’s new electronic, state-by-state guide to voting in America.

GREG PALAST follows with an in-depth report on how the voting rights of millions of Americans—mostly of color—are being challenged by “Vigilantes” across the country.

RAY MCCLENDON of Communities United reports from Atlanta in horrifying detail about the nightmare of what’s being done to the voting rights process in Georgia.

Georgia election protection activist MARILYN MARKS confirms Greg’s report on the Vigilante culture and their physical assault on the democratic process.

Arizona election audit specialist JOHN BRAKEY introduces his new “ABE” audit software and discusses the situation in his state.

Current State Senator and former Secretary of State KEN BENNETT compares notes on what’s happening with elections in Arizona alongside those in Georgia.

Radio host LYNN FEINERMAN chimes in with her concerns on the safety of the November vote.

Election Protection stalwart LORI GRACE then contributes her unique and powerful overview.

“The man suspected in the incident . . . camped outside the golf course in West Palm Beach with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours, according to court documents filed Monday. He is accused of lying in wait for the former president before a Secret Service agent opened fire, thwarting the potential attack.”

The guy was apparently waiting to assassinate Donald Trump — attempt #2 this election season to kill the former president. The would-be alleged assassin was thwarted before he fired a shot, but still . . .

What the hell?

Yo, Yost, no one is eating dogs and cats in Springfield! No one is eating dead geese or ducks either. Please stop the mad hysteria! AG Yost should grow a backbone instead and defend Springfield, Ohio and not spread fake news started by Donald Trump.

COTA information

The City of Columbus, the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA), and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), as some would argue, are making a $6 billion dollar bet on the LinkUS November 5 levy vote. More specifically, that dudes are going to give up their monster trucks or Dodge Chargers for “BRTs” or Bus Rapid Transit. While others are going to relinquish their Audis, Mercedes and Tesla’s, even as the numbers of these luxury cars are increasing on Columbus freeways and streets.

Ditching your ride for a bicycle and a bus will not apply to everyone, insists COTA spokesperson Jeff Pullin, but they’re hoping many Columbus residents get on board and leave their car in the garage or forgo a car altogether.

“We are not asking everybody to give up their car, but we know there are people out there, especially people who are younger, who are not really wanting to take on that cost of the car. It costs upward to $600 to $700 a month to have a car in some cases,” he said to the Free Press.
