October 4, 2020

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

— After another extension of public health orders by Governor Kay Ivey, how close are we to the end of these orders and the mask mandate?

— Why is former Governor Robert Bentley weighing in on the current Supreme Court nomination and rehashing the 2017 election of U.S. Senator Doug Jones?

— What in the world is happening with the presidential debates?

Jackson and Handback are joined by Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill to discuss recent changes to Alabama’s voting process by a federal judge and the reaction of other Secretaries of State.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” aimed at those who know the premise that President Donald Trump does not denounce white supremacy is absurd but continue to push misinformation on the matter anyway.

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