Five Questions with Mississippi Voting Rights Lawyer Amir Badat
Joyce Vance's Five Questions interview features voting rights lawyer Amir Badat on Mississippi's narrow Senate race, where Scott Colom won by a few hundred votes. Badat, a Fair Fight Action strategist who was on the ground as counts began, had flagged problems with Mississippi's use of Experian data to move voters to inactive status, which drove a reported jump in affidavit ballots. Vance warns such commercial-data practices could spread to other states.
