This week we’re speaking with Brandon Rottinghaus, Professor of Political Science at the University of Houston. Two weeks ago, he and colleague Jeronimo Cortina co-authored an article in the Washington Post titled, “With the 2022 midterms ahead, expect another Latino misinformation crisis.” Brandon discusses their research, conducted in 2020 during the lead-up to the November elections. Some of their results may surprise you. We are also joined by Jim Harrington, retired founder of the Texas Civil Rights Project.
And Austin Sanders is with us again this week. Austin is a Staff Writer at the Austin Chronicle. We’ll hear about City Council’s plan to make Sixth Street safer. We also learn about a lawsuit by former county judge Bill Aleshire, who is challenging the system of staggered terms for City Council Members, claiming that some voters become disenfranchised in the process.
