Episode Details

Election integrity concerns, PJM energy grid costs, school choice and the highest-paid state officials.

On today's episode of The States, host Greg Bishop looks at early voting, talks about fair elections with Executive Director of Popular Democracy, DaMareo Cooper, and goes over the Department of Homeland Securities response to critics' claims that ICE will be stationed at polling places to intimidate voters.

Bishop also looks at a new agreement from 13 governors to address electricity costs and grid reliability throughout PJM's sprawling territory running from Washington D.C. to Illinois. The Center Square's Esther Wickham joins to explain how school choice advocates think their cause will both save taxpayer money and improve student outcomes. And a report from Ballotpedia shows that most of the highest paid public officials are unelected education executives.
