GOP Pushing Voter Suppression Tactics

Leslie is joined by Fred Redmond, International Vice President of Human Affairs for the United Steelworkers Union (USW).

The two discuss how Republicans have been working hard in recent election cycles to minimize the rights of seniors, minorities and young people. They claim that they want to prevent voter fraud, even though they have been unable to document its existence.

Regardless, they are still working hard to enact voter ID laws, limits on early voting, restrictions on voter registration and other requirements. Now their presidential candidate is claiming that he’ll only lose the election if Democrats cheat at the polls.

The USW's website is www.USW.org and their Twitter handle is @steelworkers. USW President Leo Gerard's handle is @USWblogger.
