On Friday’s program, we discussed Florida’s pandemic response – and how it measures up to that of other large states - with Dr. Ali Mokdad, Chief Strategy Officer, Population Health, University of Washington.

We also took a closer look at some of the controversial changes Republican lawmakers want to make to voting in the Sunshine State with State Sen. Joe Gruters, (R-Sarasota), who also chairs the Republican Party of Florida and leads the Republican National Committee’s Committee on Election Integrity; and Lawrence Mower, the Tampa Bay Times’ Tallahassee Correspondent.
