Today: Julia Vaughn, policy director for Common Cause Indiana, talks about Saturday's "Redistricting Reform 101" activist training workshop at Purdue University Northwest's Westville campus. The event is to help citizens learn more about the redistricting reform effort to make changes that put an end to "gerrymandering." Vaughn reviews the reasons behind the reform movement and the Indiana Coalition for Independent Redistricting. She also talks about concerns that Hoosier voters' registration may have been purged or cancelled ahead of the Nov. 6th general election, and how citizens can make sure their voter registration is accurate and up-to-date.
