This week on WCLK s The Local Take(Saturdays 8am), we re continuing our conversation about the voter suppression bill SB202 that recently became law in our state.

Instead of rejoicing at the civic engagement on both sides, the Republican representatives in our state have said out loud that suppressing the vote is the only way they can win. Dr. William Boone, former head of the CAU Political Science department, is joining our conversation to add some context and perspective.
