Voter Suppression: Fact or Fiction? with Sam Koppelman [S3 Ep.19]

Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Coleman.

My guest today is Sam Koppelman. Sam is a best-selling author and top speechwriter for many prominent politicians. Sam just co-wrote a book with former Attorney General Eric Holder called "Our Unfinished March: The Violent Past and Imperiled Future of the Vote-A History, a Crisis, a Plan"
In this episode, we talked about voter fraud, voter ID laws, voter suppression, and gerrymandering. We discuss Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the so-called "gutting of that act" in 2013. We also talk about the great replacement theory and much more.

As you'll hear in the episode, I'm skeptical of the narrative that voter suppression is a huge problem, that voter ID laws are racist, and so forth. While Sam doesn't quite go that far, I think there is some distance between his position on these topics and my own. As we near the midterms, I'm gonna have a few more guests like this that deal with electoral politics.

I hope you enjoy this conversation.
