As NAACP Boston head Tanisha Sullivan launches her bid for secretary of the commonwealth with a heavy focus on voting rights, the latest episode of Talking Politics takes a closer look at the status of voting reforms in Massachusetts after the Legislature let popular mail-in and expanded early voting provisions expire. Host Adam Reilly discusses where proposals stand with state Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven of Somerville and MassVOTE Executive Director Cheryl Crawford.
Then, former Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson and Jennifer Nasssour, former chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party and founder and president of the Pocketbook Project, join Adam to weigh in on Attorney General Maura Healey's entry into the race for governor.
And how much protest is too much, legally and ethically? It's a question being asked with increasing frequency, as protesters shut down town meetings and target politicians’ houses.
