Panel explores voting rights issues
Thursday, February 11, 2021 by Tai Moses
Common Ground for Texans’ next panel will explore the timely topic of election integrity and voting rights. “As we view the issues through different lens, can we agree on definitions to move forward with solutions and strategies? Examples of areas that are likely to come up are: vote-by-mail, online voter registration, placement of polling places, voter ID.” The confirmed panelists – “both conservative leaning and progressive leaning folks,” are Rose Clouston, voter protection officer with Texas Democratic Party; Jennifer Richmond, the founder of TruthInBetween and a member of Braver Angels Central Texas Media Action Group; and moderator Mike Ignatowski, board member of Common Ground for Texans. Saturday, Feb. 27, at 2 p.m. via Zoom. Visit the CG4TX website for registration info.
