The Jenny Beth Show

Maine Addresses Switched Voting Districts & the SAVE America Act's Final Four Days | Sands, Bagshaw

Episode Summary

Maine voter rolls are not supposed to move on their own. State Representative Barbara Bagshaw was knocking on doors in Windham, the way she does every cycle, when she reached an apartment building she knew was not in her district. She checked her printed books, then the next house, then the next. When she went to her town clerk, the answer was that 110 voters had been relocated out of District 107 and into her District 106. The Secretary of State's office called it a glitch and offered to print her a new voter roll free of charge. Bagshaw won her first race by 23 votes. A friend won a school board seat by seven. Jenny Beth Martin opens the hour with Ambassador Carla Sands, who served as United States Ambassador to Denmark, on the restarted Iran talks the President is calling a last chance, American manufacturing at a four-year high with factory hiring growing for the first time in almost three years, the Todd Blanche attorney general vote, and New Jersey's admission that 6,600 noncitizens landed on its voter rolls with roughly 400 of them casting ballots. They take on Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg calling to revisit the Electoral College, expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices, and grant statehood to Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. The Senate has four scheduled days before it leaves for August, and the SAVE America Act, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, is not on the calendar. Call 202-224-3121.
