Professor Gilda Daniels is a nationally recognized voting rights and election law expert and a hero among attorneys, see her full bio here.
We were lucky enough to speak to her 72 hours after she showcased some of those heroics. On October 13th, Virginia’s online voter registration system broke down.... just hours before the deadline to register. Three days later, on Oct 16th, Daniels, along with two organizations successfully petitioned the Virginia Federal Court to extend the voter registration deadline. This was real-time litigation that helped secure the right to vote. In this episode, she also talks about her new book, “Uncounted: The Crisis of Voter Suppression in America" and Shelby County V Holder, the future of the Voting Rights Act, and the Supreme Court. Daniels, as you might imagine, has some real solutions for helping to fight voter suppression and federal courts, and what you can do if you witness voter intimidation.
