Clowning around Port Huron

Most of us don’t think about the voting process, or election administration, until it’s actually time for us to drop off our ballot. That season becomes prime time for folks circulating misinformation to do their worst. But one non-profit, non-partisan news source in Michigan spends all year reporting on the truth about democratic processes. We talk to a VoteBeat reporter about how to sort facts about voting from the disinformation swirling around social media.  

GUEST: 

Hayley Harding, Detroit-based reporter for VoteBeat

Election Administration Through Clerks' Eyes

Communities from Southwest Detroit to Oakland County, Grand Rapids and Saginaw are full of Latino voters also making up their minds about voting. 

And it’s crazy because while one of the presidential candidates has been talking nonstop about one narrow slice of the Latino population… there’s a lot we’re not talking about with this community’s issues and interests. 

GUEST:
Cindy Gamboa is the executive director of MI PODER…. a non-profit non-partisan social welfare and civic engagement organization serving Michigan’s Latinx population
