On the Radio

I'll be on the Callie Crossley Show on WGBH radio (89.7) at 1:40 pm today to discuss my story, from a couple of weeks ago, on how Rhode Island came to pass a voter ID law last year.

It was, as you may recall, one of the year's great political headscratchers. All the other states that passed voter ID laws last year were dominated by Republicans. And the measures were widely viewed as an attempt by the GOP to disenfranchise minorities and other voters likely to cast ballots for Democrats.

The appearance should be, at a minimum, a chance to explain Rhode Island's curious politics.
