— Will Alabama voters get behind a bill removing religious exemptions for vaccines?

— Can daily fantasy sports gaming be the next form of gambling Alabama legislators legalize?

Jackson and Burke are joined by Secretary of State John Merrill to discuss Alabama’s strides in voting rights and turnout and his thoughts on the 2020 U.S. Senate race.

Jackson closes the show with a “parting shot” at legislators arguing about the exemptions in the proposed abortion ban legislation.

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