What is a vote worth? With the November election drawing near, we tackle that question as we commemorate the centennial of a woman’s right to vote, look at the recent bipartisan agreement on absentee ballots in Kentucky’s primary elections, and address ongoing concerns about voter suppression. Join us for a great discussion with panelists Joshua Douglas, Prof. at UK’s College of Law; Michael Adams, Secretary of State (KY); Rick Green, Editor of The Courier Journal; Sadiqa Reynolds, Pres. of the Louisville Urban League; and Amina Elahi, City Reporter at WFPL News. Co-moderated by Rachel Platt and Renee Shaw, host of KET’s Kentucky Tonight.

This virtual program is sponsored by the National Council of Jewish Women and Louisville Public Media.
