  • Summary

  • Voters are flocking to the polls to vote early across the region. In the meantime, city leaders are preparing ahead of Election Day and the inauguration, aiming to be ready in case of massive crowds, protests, or unrest. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser joined the show to discuss what measures the District is putting in place to keep residents safe. Plus, we asked Mayor Bowser to weigh in on ranked choice voting and the D.C. Council's emergency legislation restricting protesting in residential neighborhoods.

    On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Virginia could resume purging suspected noncitizens from voter rolls. The decision overturns a previous ruling made by a federal judge days earlier to reinstate some 1,600 voters. WAMU's Northern Virginia reporter Margaret Barthel explained what exactly is going on, how it could affect election results, and why this is good news for Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.
