Joy Taylor walks through the history of voter suppression, from post-Civil War barriers to the Voting Rights Act, and explains how recent decisions are reshaping the way voting power is protected today.

Joy also addresses the growing sense of political apathy and why disengagement has real consequences, especially for communities that have historically had to fight to be heard.

This conversation is about understanding the system, recognizing what is at stake, and why participation still matters.

The episode also includes this week’s Never Two Personal segment.
