How widespread is voter suppression? On the next Your Call, we'll have a discussion about tactics used by political parties to discourage or prohibit eligible voters from casting their votes. From voter purges to electronic voting, thousands of voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering. What are voters doing to fight back? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.
Guests: Adam Skaggs is counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice and an attorney for the voting rights organizations challenging Florida's "no match-no vote" law.
Bob Schaeffer with Florida's Center for Civic Participation
Tomás Garduño, the statewide organizer for the South West Organizing Project, a non-partisan, non-profit group in New Mexico that educates minority citizens.
