Radio talk show host Dale Jackson and Alabama Democratic Party Executive Committee Member Lisa Handback take you through Alabama’s biggest political stories, including:

— Was Alabama right to join the lawsuit Texas has filed at the Supreme Court concerning the 2020 election?

— Did anyone know that Alabama could mandate vaccinations if they wanted to, and will the legislature really address this?

— Will Governor Kay Ivey keep Alabama’s mask order going past the latest extension?

Jackson and Handback are joined by U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) to discuss his plan to challenge electors from the floor of the House and the case filed by Texas at the Supreme Court against Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at those who still don’t understand why challenges to the way the vote went down are important and about more than just 2020.

Dale Jackson is a contributing writer to Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 7-11 AM weekdays on WVNN.
