Episode notes
While the election is now over, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed a bill about one of the most debated issues that comes up during election season: Voter ID. I thought it appropriate coming off the general election to dive into the new law, especially since it is set to go into effect before the 2026 midterm. What is this bill, what is it set to do, and what is the general sentiment toward Voter ID laws in our state and country? All of that and more on today's episode!
