352: Dirty Tricks

Joyce Vance hosts #SistersInLaw to discuss the state of voting rights going into the midterm elections, looking at the DOJ’s challenges in Alaska and California, the future implications of federal interference in the states, and the history of dirty tricks in politics.  Then, the #Sisters explain Maureen Comey’s victorious lawsuit against the administration for wrongful termination, and the latest lawfare targeting her father, James Comey.  They also review litigation pushing back against Trump’s attempt to restrict media access to the administration, the importance of press freedom, and the nuances governing the issuance of press credentials.Remember to send in audio questions to SistersInLaw@politicon.com for the #Sisters to answer on their new companion podcast, SistersInLaw Sidebar!  It airs Wednesdays wherever you normally get your podcasts!Get the brand new ReSIStance T-Shirt, Mini Tote, and other #SistersInLaw gear at politicon.com/merch! Additional #SistersInLaw ProjectsCheck out Jill’s Politicon YouTube Show: Just The FactsCheck out Kim’s Newsletter: The GavelJoyce’s new book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable, is now available, and for a limited time, you have the exclusive opportunity to order a signed copy here. Barb is on a book tour!  You can also order Barb’s new book, The Fix.
