Download MP3
In this episode, host Dave Washington focuses on voter education, election-related concerns, and African American men's health, and he shares details on upcoming community events. Guest Nedra explains that Nevada's tabulators operate independently of the internet, and she outlines her opposition to Question 7, which would require voter identification, warning that potential documentation requirements could disproportionately affect women, seniors, Black voters, communities of color, and working-class voters. Dave and Nedra encourage listeners to verify their registration through the Clark County Election Department and to use official ballot drop-off locations, and the conversation flags an open question about the final verified legal details regarding Nevada voter-roll maintenance and Question 7. Dave then turns to health outreach with guest Mel, who discusses the importance of preventive care, mental health, and addressing the stressors that affect African American men, and who shares that the Original Outstanding Gentlemen of Las Vegas hosts its second annual African American Men's Health Summit on October 24, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Doolittle Active Adult Center. The episode closes with a look at upcoming community events, including voter education on October 24 in the Syrian Knight Conference Room and the Armstrong Golf Tournament on October 3.
